Accessibility
To ensure Picks Barn is as accessible as possible, clearly signed
designated parking spaces are located at the front of the
building with paved, gently ramped pathways leading to the
main entrance and the café at the rear. The café table heights
are approximately 80cm, suitable for rolling up and dining
from a wheelchair. The toilet block area near the back of the
foyer includes a spacious, accessible convenience. Currently,
the only access to The Overcroft is via the main staircase.
CCTV
Security cameras installed on the premises aid the prevention
and detection of crime, help monitor the safety of all visitors,
and generally assist in good management practices. The system
is remotely monitored and continuously records activity. The
Lyndon Property Company holds a valid Data Protection
Certificate. Please contact the office for further information.
Cycling
Rutland is a beautiful county for cyclists with abundant,
undulating, open countryside to enjoy from the saddle. Picks
Barn is very close to the most apparent ride around Rutland
Water, entailing a 24km whole lap route (mainly on paths), or
if you have the energy, tag on the extra 10km of the Hambleton
Peninsula (Strava Map). The Picks Barn Café is a welcoming
refreshment destination for individual and club rides (pre-book).
Dogs
Canine culture goes hand in hand with country life and is
certainly welcome here at Picks Barn, with the proviso of
considering all barn tenants, visitors and neighbours, some of
whom may not be equally receptive, especially when working.
So, with all that in mind, dogs must be well-behaved and kept
on leashes at all times, and owners must clear any fouling from
the site without delay. LPC reserves the right to exclude access.
Energy Efficiency
When the barn underwent conversion, the designers aimed for
heightened energy efficiency by specifying well-insulated
roofing and cavity walls. The barn also uses modern technology
to warm the building; three air-source heat pumps take the
energy from the outside environment and, using a 300-400%
effective process, create hot water piped around a network of
underfloor circuits. Picks Barn has an A-rated certification.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging
The barn hosts a charging station with two 7kW Type-2
connectors. You’ll need the Charge Assist App installed on
your phone to use and pay for the service - the app displays live
availability. If you forget to download the app before visiting,
use the available WiFi. The charging tariff is constantly
reviewed and is typically set at just above the purchase price to
help pay for the installation and upkeep of the hardware.
Food Hygiene
The Café Team takes pride in the standard of service and the
quality of the food and drink offerings. All staff undergo
regular food hygiene training, with the premises attaining a
level five Food Standards Agency rating. A local authority food
safety officer makes repeat inspections every 6-24 months. For
further information, please speak to the café manager.
Opening Hours
The main barn has access for tenants 24/7. Running hours for
events are agreed upon by prior arrangement (but generally
permitted between 07:00-00:00). The café typically operates
Wed-Sun per the specified hours displayed here (along with
any other variances) and opens on most bank holidays.
Parking (bicycles)
Find event-style saddle rails installed at the rear of the building
near the exterior café seating area. Visitors with heavier battery-
powered bikes can park by the racks or prop them carefully
against the shipping container. Please note that LPC takes no
responsibility whatsoever for any damage, losses or injury.
Parking (vehicles)
Extensive gravel surface parking provides ample space for day
-to-day requirements. Please note that reserved places for
tenants exist outside the main entrance. Also, look out for the
specific areas marked for disabled visitors and the electric
vehicle charging station. Café customers are kindly requested
to use the rear car park extension (which is closer anyway) and
park sensibly - do not leave enormous gaps between vehicles!
Recruitment
Lyndon provides local employment opportunities across The
Estate, Farms, and Picks Barn. The Café is always keen to hear
from motivated and responsible individuals for various roles,
including kitchen porter, server, barista, cook, etc. Register
interest in future job openings, or follow social media.
Tenancies
The main barn features four private office suites and a further
business unit with an integrated office. These are all let on
short-term tenancy agreements with any imminent availability
listed on the Workspace page. Please also feel free to contact the
Lyndon Estate Office to express interest in future vacancies.
Toilets
Have you ever heard of toilet tourism - Picks Barn is worth a
visit to experience the custom-built conveniences! On the
ground floor, you’ll find lavatories for men and women and an
accessible restroom with a baby changing table. The upstairs
‘Overcroft’ events area has four more toilets, satisfying demand
when more significant visitor numbers are on site.
Walking
If you’re looking for somewhere to walk the dog or get some
exercise, Picks Barn is a great place to start, with lots of
country air and amazing views to enjoy from the moment you
step out! Find a selection of routes on the walks page, all of
which link into the Ordnance Survey mapping system.
Afterwards, enjoy some well-earned café refreshments!
Waste
There’s no escaping it, but in an ever-increasing
environmentally conscious world, everyone must take
responsibility. How it’s dealt with matters. So, Picks Barn
endeavours to reduce generated waste and separates dry
recyclables and glass for collection, leaving a minimal amount
for landfill for incineration. And where possible, food waste
is composted on the estate for use in the kitchen garden.
WiFi
With people increasingly looking for ways to switch off by
disconnecting from the information superhighway, it’s ironic
that such provision is now integral to daily life. On that basis,
complimentary high-speed wireless internet is available
throughout much of Picks Barn, including The Overcroft and
Café (this also covers The Outback). If you need to recharge
a device, please find power sockets (with USB outlets) in the
café area. Use the internet and charge points at your own risk.
