Reviews in Colchester

Very hospitable, good quality food and coffee. Highly recommended ( but leave space for us!)

Arrived too early for booked table but the food was worth the wait. Service was not the speediest but the serving staff seemed to be extremely busy. Enjoyed what we had. I had salmon bruschetta and my husband had the fish and chips. It was a long trip up from the south of the county - the CITY of Southend.

Fresh wholesome food served with a smile. Relaxed atmosphere for all ages. Easy parking and access for pushchairs or wheelchair users.

Great service, environment and excellent food (& cake!)! Second time of visiting in a few weeks, can’t wait to come back.

The nicest meal out I’ve had in a long time. Food was delicious , staff were lovely

An excellent full english breakfast in a lovely sunny room with view of the plants outside. Staff couldn't be nicer or more efficient. Booking is advised as its deservedly very popular.

First visit for lunch yesterday. Very impressed in every way. Certainly higher quality than your usual garden centre cafe. Staff, service, surroundings abs food all excellent. I will defo be back again very soon.

Lovely ambience good fab!

I booked an afternoon slot for 24 people from Stanway U3A and Chris was extremely helpful and everyone enjoyed our time and the service was excellent. Thank you.

We visit the Barn Plants Cafe very regularly both for lunch time meals and afternoon coffee and cake. Such a lovely and relaxing restaurant to be in with very friendly and helpful staff. It is not too crowded so, as OAP's we feel covid safe in the environment. There is additional space in the indoor part of the garden centre itself and an outside terrace which we use in the summer. The food is excellent.

Lovely breakfast, atmosphere and service. Always excellent highly recommend

We booked a table for 3 yesterday and advised my wife would be using a wheelchair. On arrival we were promptly shown our table and chose from the menu provided. Our friend and I chose the omelette whilst my wife opted for the BLT sandwich along with a portion of chips. The food was promptly and politely served and we are sure a whole pack of bacon was used in the sandwich as it was so full. After lunch we succumbed to a slice each of homemade cake which didn’t disappoint. The staff were attentive and pleasant and (as we have been here before) definitely up to the usual great standard. Although it was a surprise we had to book we understood why by the high turnover of people using the restaurant. Definitely a place we would recommend to others.

We visit Barn Plants frequently, a lovely place in all aspects. Their restaurant is very welcoming and the food offered is excellent.

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service with a smile. Menu and specials gave excellent choice, enjoyed by all 5 of us. Thank you

as Barn Plants had a power cut and were unable to serve our meal I do not understand why you have asked me for a review
