The best breskfast I've had in a long time, fresh, hot, quality ingredients,perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.
Myself and my brother went here yesterday for a coffee and cake. So glad we did, lovely coffee and even better cake all at a fair price. I will be going here again soon.
Just picked up a breakfast baguette from here, expecting something good for the £6.50 charged, 1 sausage cut in half, 1 small bit of bacon cut in half and a half poached egg in a finger roll. Astonished how bad this is.
We took our friends here to celebrate a birthday. We informed them it was a supprise birthday treat and booked a vintage high tea for 4 people. There was nothing on the table it indicate a birthday. The sandwiches came out on a plate and the cakes were on a cake stand. The cakes completely out weighed the sandwiches. We all agreed we would rather have more sandwiches than cakes, or 50 50. There was no little cake with a candle, no happy Birthday written on a plate, not even a happy birthday. The food was nice, but not fabulous. Disappointing.
We’ve returned to Barnard’s after a year away, and let me tell you—it’s like coming back to an old friend who hasn’t aged a day. Same warm welcome, same glorious breakfasts, and (miraculously) the same prices! In this economy, that’s rarer than a hot coffee at a petrol station. The menu is unchanged, which is exactly what you want when the original was already perfect. If it’s not broken, don’t replace it with quinoa. We opted for a classic croissant with jam and butter (flaky, golden, unapologetically French) and a proper scone served with Rodda’s clotted cream and jam on a quaint little tiered stand—very Mary Berry meets breakfast club. The coffee was smoother than a politician before an election, and it was actually hot. Served alfresco, with sunshine and bunting for that extra village fête aesthetic. You can keep your avocado foam and edible soil—Barnard’s delivers the goods with charm, consistency, and zero pretension. A must-visit for anyone who wants to enjoy breakfast without needing a dictionary or a second mortgage. Still 5 stars out of 5. Still fabulous. Still wish they were open on Sundays. If you're in search of a breakfast spot that marries exceptional food with outstanding service, look no further than Barnard's Restaurant in Denmead, Hampshire. Having had the pleasure of dining here twice for breakfast, I can confidently say that this quaint eatery is a hidden gem that deserves a visit. Barnard's is open from Tuesday to Saturday, and the only drawback is that it's not open all week! The anticipation of those five days of exquisite breakfasts is well worth the wait. The food here is simply outstanding. From the moment you take your first bite, you know you're in for a treat. One of my personal favourites is their scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on toast. The eggs are cooked to perfection – creamy, fluffy, and rich in flavour, complemented beautifully by the delicate smokiness of the salmon. Topped with a sprinkle of fresh greens, this dish is not only a feast for the palate but also a delight for the eyes. Another standout dish is their Eggs Benedict. Perfectly poached eggs, crispy bacon, and a generous helping of hollandaise sauce, all served on a toasted English muffin – it’s a classic done right. The sauce is velvety and rich, the bacon adds a wonderful crunch, and the eggs are cooked just right, with a runny yolk that ties all the flavours together. The service at Barnard's is nothing short of excellent. The staff are attentive, friendly, and go out of their way to ensure that your dining experience is flawless. They have mastered the balance of being present without being intrusive, making sure your coffee is always topped up and your needs are met with a smile. In conclusion, Barnard's Restaurant in Denmead is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates quality food and top-notch service. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to stop by for breakfast – you won't be disappointed. We can only hope they extend their opening days soon because once you’ve experienced Barnard’s, you’ll find yourself craving it every day of the week!
Food perfect staff friendly and happy We definitely return
Great staff and very good food friendly service
Good breakfast and coffee. Also good selection of sweet treats. Needs some updating with the decor but does have a nice garden
First time in Barnards and a happy experience. Food was above average price but was cooked to perfection and staff were helpful and friendly. Bought a couple of pieces of home made cake to take away and enjoyed very much.
We have just had a delicious lunch in Barnards. We have lived within walking distance for 6months and kept meaning to go in and we were certainly not dissapointed. The restaurant is cosy and has lovely views of Denmead church with a nice seating area out back also. We had the fish and chips and the beef pie which were super tasty with excellent fresh vegetables. I also had a locally brewed ale which was great too. The staff were also very polite. We will definitely be back.
