I came here too weeks ago the food was excellent then well they succeeded again .this place never fails. The food is cooked to perfection.taste is great and again the staff were very helpfull. Hope to visit again in the future.

We visited as a group of friends mid week. The menu was rather odd and the food itself was very disappointing (as it has been the previous few times I have been with friends). It really is such a shame as this bar/restaurant is a...beautiful setting and has SO much potential.More

God only knows what has happened to this place. We live locally and used to eat here regularly. Since they've refreshed their menu, we've been back twice and both times were an absolute farce. The first time, the food took forever to arrive. We chalked...it down to a bad day but we were disappointed. Today we returned. Two drinks, two sandwiches and chips. 55 minutes later nothing had appeared and I had to chase at the bad. Both times it wasn't hugely busy, the staff weren't run ragged. It was ridiculous. When I pointed out that 55mins later we saw no sign of food, the poor girl at the bar looked so awkward but offered no apology. When it arrived, it was baffling to see how it could have taken so long unless they went out to catch the chicken before killing it and needed to grow the avocado first. Definitely won't be coming back, popping in for a quick bite and drink doesn't seem possible any more. Such a shame but there are plenty of other nice pubs nearby.More

Absolutely enjoyed the ambience, service and food...Will definitely be going there again in the forcible future. The food was exquisite and the service warm and welcoming.

Absolutely wonderful food and great service. Accessible throughout. Really recommend the duck rice bowl. Staff were really friendly and happy to help.

I used to eat here fairly often but I won’t be returning, they seem to have over stretched their chef! The food took an age (over 50 mins) to arrive despite having booked a table for late afternoon 4.30. The food arrived very slowly with...those served first finishing their meal before the last meal was served there were 10 of us. 4 of the meals were sent back, raw pastry on the base of the chicken pie, medium rare steak that was more than well done, cold grilled halloumi cheese which was like rubber, over cooked burgers that could have been used as hockey pucks. Things were missing from meals, requests to have no salad were ignored. Fish and chips and fish cakes were good. Not sure how a soggy cooked little gem lettuce was a roasted Greek salad !More

Having arrived home from holiday abroad we thought we would re-visit a pub for lunch we hadn’t been to for a while and make the most of our time off before going back to work. BIG MISTAKE. Overseas not only do you get a warm...sun but also a warm welcome, table service and great food at decent prices. When we arrived we ordered drinks (a pint and a glass of wine for £12 something!) and told that the tills were not open so they could only take cards. No deal breaker but a bit annoying. We asked for a menu and were told where they were and advised to order at the bar with a table number when ready. I get that this is the British way but it’s rubbish. Tell diners to sit and you’ll be over in a moment to take their order – it’s 2023 and times are hard to these places should be upping their game to look after and retain customers. We chose the fish and chips (£17.50!) and a “Applewood cheese & apple chutney” sandwich (£8). Sounds lovely, I thought. The better half went to the bar to order (we were sitting outside enjoying the sunshine) and I asked that if there was a choice i’d prefer crusty white doorstop bread or French stick but ok with a decent granary. After all this was “Applewood cheese & apple chutney”. The ale I ordered was very cloudy but I couldn’t bothered to moan – I was still on holiday and in a good mood. The wine was apparently quite nice but the price was on par of a half litre of the decent local wine we’d just returned from. The food arrived in a good time but without cutlery, but we were told where it was before the young lady used her initiative and said she would bring us some. At last some kind of “service”! Now to the food. The fish and chips certainly looked impressive. Very large fish and decent looking ships. Thankfully the slimmer end of the fish was good. However, with the thicker parts the batter was undercooked so doughy and the fish a bit watery. Not what you would expect for £17.50. However, this was trumped by the cheese sandwich that came up on a small plate and consisted of two thin slices of supermarket sliced bread cut into quarters with a filling of grated cheese and some gloopy stuff. It did have a few green leaves on the side, to be fair. But for eight quid I (and I think most) would have expected more. I’m not usually shy of complaining when it’s due but didn’t want to cause trouble for the young girl serving and thought I would contact the company directly. I emailed the Director of Pubs (at Shepherd Neame) to complain instead and provided a photo of the very offending cheese sandwich. In his reply Director of Pubs (who, apprently, i can't name but will know who he is) did “wholeheartedly agree” and said it was “well below” their standards. An offer of a meal voucher was offered and, having enjoyed days and nights there before and believing in second chances, accepted the offer. That was on 25th May. Over a month later I am yet to hear anything. Whilst I am happy to give a second chance to a place that makes the effort and genuinely wants to offer an apology and welcome customers back, I think my business here is done. At a time when many businesses are struggling places like this should be going that extra mile to ensure everything is tip top or more so. And when they get something wrong they should be putting it right. Quickly. With so many pubs closing at a fast rate it’s a shame that the Manor Farm Barn is still open when so many other, better places have been forced to close.More

We had not returned to this restaurant for sometime and decided to call in on return from a trip. We arrived just after 6pm and while there were quite a few people drinking outside we were the only ones eating. Our drinks arrived quickly and...we ordered our meals. After 40 mins we asked where they were and was told that they were just being plated. When the meals arrive, one being fish and chips, we were not impressed by the presentation. It seemed as if the food had been thrown on the plate. However, the taste was ok and one of us ordered a dessert. The young lady serving us was very good and she said we could have a free dessert as we had been kept waiting so long. When the cheesecake arrived it was so tiny and would have cost £8.50! Certainly not worth the money. Unfortunately we will not be returning.More

Came here for a Valentine’s Day meal with my husband. Delicious food, great service, and the restaurant was decorated nicely. Really enjoyed our visit here

This was an excellent visit. Great food. Great service. Albeit the drinks were a little slow but not too excessively. Will definitely return. Reasonable prices, anything more will be too much.

Visited for Sunday lunch with the family. Food was to the usual good standard and our waitress Laura was very friendly and attentive.

I visited on the 7th of April at 12pm for lunch with my wife and 2 year old child. We ordered our food and it took 1hour 30minutes to arrive. At this time I had rejected the food as my family and I had other...engagements that we were now late for. I then requested a refund and they didnt offer this back in full, although we had been waiting 1hr 30minutes. I was expecting a full refund as Manor Farm Barn didnt provide a basic level of service. My time was wasted, I was late to a gathering I had planned with family for Easter, my 2 year old was extremely unsettled and 38 week pregnant wife was also left waiting after sitting there for an hour and a half. I then emailed customer services on the 8th April about my experience. The general manager of manor farm barn, Richard Wilkinson, responded on the 11th April requesting I return to the restaurant where i would recieve my drinks refund and offered a £20 voucher. I appreciated this but I chose not to return as my previous experience was completely unacceptable and I was still not being offered a full refund. I provided my reciept to Richard on the 12th April and requested I would like a refund in full only. Attached is my reciept Its now the 29th April and I havn't recieved a response back from him. This isn't a surprise as this is the 2nd occasion within a month that I have experienced a poor level of basic customer service from both in-house staff and the general manager. I will not be returning to this establishment as they have shown consistency in their lack of care, poor communication to complaints, and they take customers money when they do not provide a basic level of serviceMore
