"The Old Dairy Farm Centre is a place I've visited a few times a great place to find good quality and, frequently, unique gifts, set in a converted farmyard in the lovely Northamptonshire countryside. It has a charming, rustic feel but is entirely modern in terms of its business and facilities. The same might be said of The Barn Restaurant, which forms part of the complex. It is cosy, inviting and friendly. Prices are fairly standard. I noted that there have been some comments about the speed of service. Admittedly, it's not lightning-quick but then I don't feel it's the sort of place you'd expect to attract people on-the-go, who can't wait a few minutes here and there. It's a homely café in a rural crafts centre, for goodness' sake, not a business-lunch hotspot in the city.There is a good, varied menu including snacks, breakfasts, sandwiches/toasties, baked potatoes and other hot lunches. There is an impressive array of homemade cakes available. I have actually eaten here a number of times and have tried a cross-section of the above. All have been of good quality, generous and nicely presented. The chorizo hash with crushed potatoes and roasted veg. that I ate on the most recent occasion was absolutely delicious. The cakes are quite inventive and outstandingly good too. I also appreciate the fact that the tea is served to you in a pot with a proper bone-china cup and saucer but the design of each is entirely mix-and-match. A modest quirk, perhaps, but I'm sure I'm not the only one easily enough pleased to enjoy it.All in all, I'd say that The Barn is, perhaps, rather more impressive in terms of food than you might expect from a cafe in this kind of setting.Highly recommended."

I have become a regular visitor to this restaurant. It is charming but a little chilly in the depths of winter. Don't let that put you off, they have a wood-burning stove and heaters plus blankets available if needed. The food is excellent and so is the service.

This place is amazing, I’m so glad it’s local to me! The staff are so lovely, even when they are understaffed, your are still served with a smile and they regularly check if everything is ok. Nothing is a problem here, they cater for allergies and intolerances with ease and reassurance. The afternoon tea is INCREDIBLE

For my sister’s 60th birthday I ordered an afternoon tea for 6 people to takeaway and enjoy in the garden with some family. Rachel was so helpful and accommodating and every bit of the food was exquisite. This is the third or fourth time we have used this service and it has always been 100% reliable and quality. Thank you.

This restaurant is one of our favorite spots to visit regularly. The food is consistently delicious, generous portions, and definitely worth coming back for. It can be a bit chilly in some areas during winter, but overall it's a fantastic place to dine at, especially during the summer. We've never tried their afternoon tea, but it looks fantastic. The staff is friendly and the service is good.

Well worth passing the usual venues on the A5 if you are in the area for some quality food at reasonable prices, excellent service and clearly by the number of tables occupied a popular choice .. we were directed upstairs as the ground floor was full! Although the wood burner was in operation downstairs the upstairs was not cold. What a change to have some tasty coffee and we both enjoyed our Paninis, in our case Fish Finger Tartare Sauce and Tuna with Cheese, sharing a portion of chips. Salad accompaniment could not be faulted, hot chips and we took away a portion of the Blueberry Cake most enjoyable!

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time during a cycling trip with a friend. It is a popular spot for cycling groups, so I was excited to experience it for myself on a cold and foggy November day. The atmosphere was pleasant, but it can get quite busy, making it challenging to find a table and affecting the service. I had a large pot of tea and a cake (with plenty of choices), while my friend enjoyed a coffee and a bacon and egg roll. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the ongoing price increases due to inflation and heating costs. I plan to come back with my wife to try out more of the menu options.

We had booked a table for but arrived a little early. We were offered the choice of eating inside or outside. We chose to eat inside. We ordered large breakfasts, pancakes with fruit and a pot of tea for four. The tea arrived and then nothing happened for about half an hour. We asked where our breakfasts were and were told there is only one person in the kitchen and he is dealing with a backlog of orders, it didn't seem particularly busy to us. Why didn't someone come and explain this to us instead of us having to ask? When the food arrived it was very good however I asked for my eggs to be fried until the yolk was well and truly set they didn't manage this.
