Granary Restaurant in Ashford

Lovely location, but despite buying coffees and beers at the cafe, we were told we weren't allowed to sit there due to bringing our own sandwiches, despite there being no signage to suggest we couldn't use the benches to eat our packed lunch. I wasn't sure if we were supposed to carry our tray of drinks all the way to the picnic area at the far end of the vegetable plot? This didn't seem realistic, and the picnic area was too far from the toilets for the person in our party with mobility issues. Appropriate signage outside the cafe and a picnic area closer to the garden entrance would solve this issue.

Enjoyable

Lovely location, and excellent food and coffee. Experience was really let down by their dog policy, and the enforcement of it. They have a policy of no dogs (no issues with this), but no signage to say as such. They only mentioned this when we sat down, and asked us to go eat outside - where it was tipping it down with rain. When asked about the lack of signage, the reason was they “didn’t want to put people off”. Aside from that, we did have some lovely food in a great (but very damp) location

Wonderful place to have lunch after a great walk on the countryside! Beautiful, indoor and outdoor as well, with many seating. Really family friendly of course. Food is delicious, service was great as well. And there are great vegan options, I was so happy with my vegan cream tea! 😍

Fantastic view, indoor and outdoor seating. Not much selection of food though.
