The Best Cafes in Compton, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Today we visited Audrey’s Tea Rooms for an afternoon tea to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The detail that went into the set up was amazing. Ruth had gone out of her way to make sure there was a clock hanging above our heads in recognition of one year being married. She also had set the table up with the beauty and the beast rose and garland and prosecco glasses…Beauty and The Beast is my absolute favourite Disney film ever!!!! The food was fresh, super tasty and there was so much of it I had to take a cake home to enjoy for later. Absolutely outstanding and would recommend anyone visiting Winchester to visit. Thank you so much for making our special day perfect!!!!

I am a Japanese couple who visited here at the beginning of the year a year ago. We had hot chocolate and milk and had afternoon tea for the first time in the UK. There were photos of the British Special Forces during World War II in the shop, and I was curious about them, so I asked the waiter about them. He gave me detailed information and I was very impressed. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you.

We hired the upstairs of Audreys for my sister in laws hen party. Ruth went out of her way to accommodate us, regularly checking we were happy and if there was anything they could do to help. She even went out to Robert Dyas to buy a fan as it was an unseasonably hot day! She catered to our individual dietary requirements and i don’t think there was anything else she could have done to make it more of a success. The food was amazing and plenty of it (she even gave us boxes to take leftovers home). Highly recommend x

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

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.

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.

Tried the new Chorizo Hash, perfectly filling and nutritious and delicious. Café Latte with oat milk is refreshing as always. Bar team are so smiley.

A fantastic selection of brunch choices! Speedy and high quality service, it can often be quite busy in the café but fortunately I've always managed to find a table. They have 3 floors to choose from. You have the choice of ordering either via their QR code using your phone or downstairs at the till. They largely promote the use of recycling and reusable options wherever possible. Plenty of flavour in the food, plenty of drink selection, I'd also say good portion sizes for the price; a little more expensive that a lower end brunch style, but perfect for a little treat!

A really lovely cafe - super atmosphere and seating areas. The staff were very welcoming, courteous, and helpful. Our drinks of hot chocolates, coffees and cakes were delicious. We met friends here and were delighted with their recommendation to meet here. We will definitely return when we next visit family in the area. A highly recommended place to visit. Thank you!

Lovely brunch. Sweetcorn hash was a really delicious combo of flavours. Pancakes were less impressive but staff couldn’t be more apologetic and did all they could to rectify the situation. Will definitely be back.
