Barbara Ann - Ashford

Barbara's Royal experience is very apparent in the items offered here. As a family we have the same thing a lot of the time, but whenever we try something new we're never disappointed. I have coeliacs and have the scrummy and seed bar and a...gluten free panini with brie, bacon and spinach. There's an emphasis in local produce with Kent honey on sale, homemade lemonade, etc. Generally always tasty and fresh. A fab variety of hot and cold options and well mannered, helpful staff

Went with my wife, mother in law and baby. Food was served swiftly and freshly produced by the staff who were polite and friendly. The produce was excellent and quality was high. Since the refurb it looks bright and fresh inside and welcoming

Haven’t used the cafe for a while but decided to give it another go recently. Order a smoked salmon and cream cheese wrap to take away. Got it home, only to find the wrap was bordering on stale. It had cracked where it was folded....The cream cheese had been spread as thin as you would spread and only in the very centre of the wrap. There was a single layer of smoked salmon to the centre, which to be fair, was actually good. Over all, very disappointing and poor value! I decided to try it again the following day for a chicken Caesar baguette with “extra” bacon. The baguette was one of the bake your own variety, which is fine, except it had clearly been baked the day before, at least! It was stale. The “extra” bacon, which I had been charged for, was virtually non existent, for a regular serving, let alone “extra”. It makes you wonder if these businesses cut corners to save a few pence, or if they just lose sight of quality control. Either way, I will not be going back, which is a great shame as it always used to be excellent and consistently so.

I had a delicious afternoon cream tea at this restaurant. The location is lovely and the staff were helpful and friendly. I would definitely go back again.

My wife convinced me to visit this restaurant. The sandwich I ordered was lacking filling and flavor, and the broth seemed overcooked. The side of nachos only had a few sprigs of salad. The cake was delicious but on the pricey side, as are most cafes. The service was good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and tidy, but overall, it was just okay for what you get at the end of the day.
