Service excellent as usual- coffee lovely Had Cinnamon toast with maple syrup For me personally I felt it was a rather thick slice & needed to be toasted more as was a bit soggy to eat I wondered if it was made by dipping bread in egg as quite yellow inside but flavour of it was nice

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterOur father passed away last Thursday, so we decided to come to his favorite gardening centre to have lunch and pick some plants to remember him by. After placing our order, my partner and son ordered the burgers. They specifically ordered them plain. Just cheese and paid the extra for Bacon. All ordered and we waited. It was quite busy so we understood it wasn't going to be quick. The food eventually arrived. My partners burger came with no bacon, my sons came with everything on it..lettuce, tomatoes, burger sauce...everything we ordered not to have and again no bacon. After calling someone over to explain this is not what was ordered, they took the food away It took so long to remake, that the rest of the party had finished our meal and then had to sit and wait for the other food to arrive. It was such a sad day for us, and unfortunately wasn't made easier by having to sit and wait for the wrong food to be remade.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterEnjoyed a very relaxed and delicious lunch with a friend. The environment and tables were clean and service was attentive and friendly. Food arrived within a short time and was presented nicely, with homemade vegetable tart, a fresh salad and beautiful buttery new potatoes. There was no pressure to vacate the table and the whole experience was pleasant, and just as I've always found it...... I'm a regular customer!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat setting, food and service
Skylark Social – ColchesterAs always the Barn did not disappoint- a lovely afternoon having the most delicious asparagus risotto with tarragon oil and wild mushrooms .. better than any London restaurant. A beautifully curated floor of gorgeous accessories for the home. It is guaranteed happiness all under one roof … I only wish they would open one closer to Chelmsford … amazing !!!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterThe roast was superb. Beautifully cooked, potatoes crispy on the outside but soft inside, veg just right, but mostly the lovely flavours coming through - fennel, rosemary and nutmeg in the cauliflower cheese. The price was slightly high but worth it for the quality and flavour. Atmosphere a little noisy and service adequate.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAn excellent lunch for me and my 93 year old godmother Lovely service, calm atmosphere and delicious food
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy husband was able to make up his own light breakfast of granary toast, fried egg, mushrooms and beans. The beans could have been a little hotter but the rest of the breakfast was delicious. I had a bacon butty with granary bread which was really nice and the cakes are good as well. The staff were very polite and helpful. The Barn has a lovely atmosphere, well worth a visit.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterA very busy evening at the Skylark, beginning of the Bank Holiday weekend with the sun shining but the food was sublime, the service as friendly as always if just a little slower due to the volume of people. A great evening
Skylark Social – ColchesterNormally very pleased and the previous visit set such a high bar i was little disappointed. Front of house not impressed as being shown to our seats was not asked if we had a preference of outside or in, plenty of space at the time. Fish goujon sandwich, chips and iced coffee good.
