Barkers 1882 Cafe Bistro - Hambleton

What a joy to visit, we popped in for a morning treat, and that's exactly what we got! From the cheerful greeting when we entered, this was a really vibrant, clean, happy environment. The menu had a good variety of breakfast/morning fayre, along with the luscious cakes and treats on display when you walk in the door. We had bacon and egg in white and tea. Along with a very smooth cappuccino with soya and cinnamon sprinkled on. They had an instant recognition when I said non-dairy so offered cinnamon on the cappuccino instead, along with Oat or Soya alternative milk. We were so impressed we came back before we went home but went to the first floor where they served hot food. We didn't try any on this occasion, however it looked mighty good and was reasonably priced. The staff all so helpful. On this occasion we had apple and sultana cake, San pellegrino lemon, diet coke and a very bold Java served in a cafetiere. Seating very clean and cafe very airy and inviting. We can't wait to return. We really enjoyed this visit! Thank you!

I had a great experience at this restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The scrambled eggs and smoked salmon were delicious and perfectly cooked. They even provided extra hot water with the meal. Highly recommend this place!

This is a good department store with quality products on offer. Clothes, shoes, cosmetics, cards and plenty of other things, as well as a restaurant and cafe which sell perfect decent food and good coffee. One of the 2 best stores in town (the other being Lewis and Cooper).

I always enjoy coming to this restaurant. I was lucky to find some great deals on their products. They offer high quality options for both men and women. There are also several dining options available. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Be warned restaurant prices on display at entrance do NOT include VAT We had lunch at Barkers yesterday. Not only did we have to wait half an hour for our food by which time our drinks were cold but the menu displayed on a board at the restaurant entrance did not include VAT and did not indicate this. This contradicts the law. There were no table menus which may legally not include VAT only the board as you approached the counter. Our bill came to £29.17 to which £5.83 VAT was added. I pointed this out to someone reading the menu board and they commented ‘That’s cheeky’ and walked out.
