The Bookbarn Caf

May 14th, 2022

02/2022 - Fast forward to post pandemic lockdown times and many changes have occurred. There is now a very large children's book section next to the extended internal caf seating area. When the weather is benign, tables are set outside amongst tasteful planters and in-wall shrub and flower arrangements. The menu is a tad less in variety than earlier, but this is work-in- progress and further options will be available in due course. It is still a very pleasant place for a coffee or a light bite - even more so, if the sun shines. 01/2018 - What started off as a commercial size jar of Maxwell House and an electric kettle, this cafe, in less than a decade is now a multi award winning enterprise. Serving home made dishes from a menue changing on a daily basis, the patronage of the place has exploded exponentially. Well trained staff offer table service with a wide range of savoury dishes - with plenty of options for those with a sweeter tooth. All the fresh ingredients are sourced locally and durables bought from ethical suppliers. And for those who 'just-can't-get-away-from-it' the Wi-Fi is free - but does tend to slow down when under heavy use. The venue has become even more popular, as mini-markets set up there on frequent occasions. It does get very busy often and patience is appreciated by the staff who prepare your orders individually. But you could always grab something to read if you do have a little wait - there's over a million books close at hand.

Lovely cafe and always good service and a friendly face. Could do with bigger portions.

Nice cafe inside The Bookbarn. Had a very nice cappuccino but managed to resist the tasty looking homemade chocolate cake.
