Great value food. Lovely atmosphere. Service a little slow, but friendly people.

Love this place. Dinky community cafe without the naff feel you often get with such places. Small menu well done sensible prices, hard floors suitable for muddy paws and moods. Customers and staff are all friendly... what's not to like. Only possible criticism is it could do with some soft furnishings to deaden some of the sound.

The Reading Room at The Barlow, next to Edgworth's cricket club and bowling green is a community spirited cafe which is interestingly appointed as a reading room as opposed to a typical cafe. Dog friendly, the haunt attracts regular custom which it satisfies with decent fare at reasonable prices.

What a lovely find this pleasant cafe is. Plenty of parking on the road out front, and the car park behind. Food quality is excellent.

This is normally one of our favourite cafés to visit but after a terrible visit yesterday we won't be returning.We ordered jacket potatoes with tuna, which took almost an hour to arrive on a Wednesday lunchtime (the cafe was barely half full). When they did, they were hard inside. We returned them to the counter and asked for them to be made into sandwiches instead as we had a newborn baby with us and had already waited a long time. We were told that was no problem by the man at the counter. While we were waiting one of the kitchen staff came to our table and told us there was nothing wrong with the potatoes, they had been cooked for twenty minutes and she had probed them with a thermometer before serving. She reported she was going to serve them to someone else. Her attitude was rude, and there was no offer of compensation or apology . She told us our order was at the back of the queue of other customers. We were also not offered the difference in cost back as we had paid more for jacket potatoes than sandwiches. Food that has been sent back should not be served to other customers.This was my first outing/lunch out with my newborn baby, which I was hoping would be a special occasion, but instead, we left disappointed and upset by the service and the way we were spoken to. Would not recommend.

I called in on a Sunday morning to try a breakfast. It is reasonably priced at £9.95 when you look at what is on the plate, which comes with 2 slices of toast and a tea or coffee as well. I had another coffee which I believe was about £2.40 alone so the breakfast is good value. I am no coffee aficionado but found it to be very good quality and will call again for another sometime.The staff are plentiful and are always on hand with a smile.
