The Best Cafes in Abbotts Barton, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Sometimes you miss the nice places that are on your own doorstep. Today we found the Long Barn. Had a nice time mooching around and then a good value cafe and coffee. Attentive and happy staff and lovely surroundings. Thank you for our great visit. We will be back

Coffee and patisserie were excellent and the cafe had both indoor and outdoor seating and although it was quite popular we didn't have to wait long to be seated and there were plenty of tables. Staff were friendly and efficient and the prices quite reasonable. The lavender fields behind the Long Barn are free to visit and very relaxing. I guess that must be the scent from the lavender! There is free parking on site, however there don't seem to be many spaces and I imagine it's busy at the weekends. We visited mid-week and had no problems.

Fantastic place to fund and sample. A picturesque barn, with shop and cafe tucked away in the hills. You can smell the lavender as soon as you're out of the car, the carpark is moderate but sizeable. The shop is sprawling and wraps around to meet at the cafe and gardens respectfully. From food, to dog stuff, BBQ and garden elements. Even candles and clothing it has a wide range. The cafe was the reason we went, it was pouring with rain but added to the atmosphere inside. There was outdoor seating but we stayed indoors. Seated quickly the staff were great, all the girls who attended had beaming smiles, very friendly and very quick with the orders. Even remembering key details from a 3yr old. The sample of cakes was great, from Lemon and Lavender, banana and passionfruit to coffee cake. The carrot cake was too moist for personal taste, but still good flavours. Great venue, and moderately priced, one to go back to.

Lots of interesting gifts plants and food. Long Barn is not quite unique but a very special place. They must take a long time planing to make everything perfect, from the quality of the Clothes to gifts and a special service in the Cafe. This is a very exclusive venue accessible by all. The displays and attention to detail is fantastic and the indoor plant area displays are something special. We had some very good service in the Cafe and the food was of a very high standard. Small carefully thought out outdoor display and lavender fields.

Visited today to celebrate our joint birthday with my wife. Although we hadn't booked and the pub was very busy we were shown to a table in the restaurant straight away. Our waitress Julia was absolutely brilliant, attentive, informative and with a lovely personality. We ordered a grilled chicken dish from the lunch menu and the roast cod from the special of the day, both cooked to perfection and finished off with a delicious blackberry parfait. Very cosy and comfy surroundings after the recent multi million pound refit, highly recommended.

What a lovely find this place was. The food was tasty and well presented. They also had a Gluten free menu which was very handy for myself. The service was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely return. :)

Lovely pub just off the M27/A34 junction, so ideal for a pint stop on a long journey or popping out for an evening meal (was only 15 minutes in the car from Southampton). All the food was great as were the staff. The pub itself is really nice and was dog friendly. Lovely place to go in the winter for dinner and from what I could tell (in the dark) would be great in the summer, sat outside in the garden.

We booked this for a special birthday celebration with a large group (22 people). It’s a great pub with excellent service, particularly from Julia who looked after us throughout. Very good Sunday menu selection with good gluten free options. The food was lovely and well presented. Everyone commented on how good the food was and the friendliness of the staff. It made a special day great, thank you.

Perfect to grab a cup of coffee from if you're on the M3. Just a slight little detour and you can have a coffee on the go. Use the Costa app to build them beans up to get free drinks!
