What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kimbridge Barn is highly praised for its beautiful riverside setting, delightful afternoon teas, and as a stunning wedding venue. Diners rave about the attentive service and delicious food, with special mentions for the brisket and the overall ambiance. Some guests note the price of certain dishes, and on very hot days, the lack of air conditioning can be a consideration.
"Saturday I had Chicken snitzel and my wife had the Haddock we both enjoyed the food. We returned on Sunday I had the Bacon belly and my wife had the scallops we both enjoyed so much so that I said complements to the Chef. Wonderful food. Good atmosphere and a craft shop too."
Jeffrey Weyers
"Had a lovely coffee and cake here today, the waitresses were lovely and very accommodating, and when we chose to sit outside with our drinks, they ran outside in the rain to check on us and offer us a table inside which was very sweet! Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area"
Rach Cooper
"I was treated to an afternoon tea at Kimbridge Barn by a wonderful friend in March 2024. What an experience. We were seated in the window in the sunshine. Staff could not be more attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. The scones were huge - the size of a large mango - but beautifully soft & delicious and served warm. The sandwiches were scrummy, the ham hock mayo my favourite. The sunshine melted the sour cherry chocolate bar as we weren’t paying attention! It too tasted wonderful. Will definitely come back when the weather warms up. The package included unlimited teas and americano coffee. Would have been nice to include one special coffee like a latte for the price, but small niggle."
