Hartfields - Wealden

We are a local couple who like to support local business, but not again here. Came in early for a breakfast had a busy week so was looking forward to it before going shopping. Took a while to be acknowledged eventually a young man came over, lots of table had reserved on but got a two in the window, it was a shocking wet day so didn’t start of very well as they allow dogs in, wet dogs letting off a smell really doesn’t wet your appetite to start with. Do they really need to allow dogs!!! Ordered coffee and Mexican eggS even tho only one egg and a side off bacon. Poached egg on toast with smashed avocado, the coffee came and we finished this no offer of another the wait was around 40 mins. Once it came still no offer off another hot drink, Mexican Egg was ok, nothing to shout home about, my eggs were raw and full off water so the piece of toast was soggy, we waited and kept looking around for members of staff to do a check back,in the end I had to approach the counter where 4 members of staff were just standing around, I asked the same male to come over so that I didn’t have to say it in front off the other customers, showed him my breakfast and his comment was oh sorry don’t know why that’s happened, I asked him to take this off our bill, as I couldn’t wait another length of time to wait for another breakfast. Can’t cook poached eggs then I suggest you either close your doors or train your cooks again, also do we really need to see bare flesh on all your servers really not a nice look, maybe staff should be in uniform with backs and midriffs out of sight. Sorry will not return Coffee Barn much better also your prices are over the top

Normally we have had very good value for our meals at whatever time but this time was different We ordered the special of Stuffed mushrooms which was £9.90 When it arrived I questioned the waitress as it was a small salad with a great deal of balsamic vinegar all over and asked if this was the special In the middle was ONE tiny portabello mushroom with tiny amount of cheese on I honestly was shocked as we normally have had GOOD portions Won’t be ordering that again

Excellent brunch with very friendly service, food and drinks served hot which was good, very pleasant place with a good atmosphere, highly recommended, will be back in the future.

Came today for tea and take server bought thetcake and said I will g and get your tea after finishing my tcake still no tea my friend went back inside to ask where the tea was he noticed it was on the counter with 2 staff stood next to the tea the person who served us said oh I did say I was getting your tea and smiled no apology he then bought the tea outside itseems as in the previous review the service has gone downhill

The food was excellent and the staff was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I ordered the club sandwich with fries and my wife had the pork burger, both of which were delicious.
