Excellent service and food was amazing 2nd visit will be back soon.

We come regularly for breakfast and have to say the staff are polite helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is good and usually full which is a sign of its quality. Today 30th October we took friends and unfortunately my poached eggs (eggs Benedict) one arrived broken with the yolk mainly on the plate and the second was watery and undercooked. To be fair this is unusual and not typical but hopefully the comments will be read and checks made in future.,

first time eating at the barn and the food was so nice. I thought at first it was a bit expensive but once we got the food we thought it was worth every penny. Lovely to have something that didn't contain chips. Will be back again

Fabulous Sunday lunch, every thing cooked perfectly, great staff.

Had a wonderful breakfast here on Friday 24 th October. Had scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on sourdough, which was absolutely delicious and arrived very promptly. Lovely atmosphere and staff

Just delicious! Great menu, lovely staff, amazingly delicious food. Fabulous setting.

Absolutely delicious food. One of the best breakfasts. Lovely atmosphere and setting.

We have eaten here many times but this past Saturday we took some friends for breakfast having told them how good the food was---well this week it was not so good!! The poached eggs were under-cooked--the whites were runny! This made the Eggs Florentine not so nice to eat. Such a shame

Excellent Sunday Lunch, very tender meat and an excellent array of vegetables all cooked perfectly. Very busy but service was good and the staff cheerful and helpful. Not the cheapest but still good value for money given the excellent food. A lovely venue to dine in.

We have been going to the Barn Cafe for Sunday breakfast for a couple of month’s now. We meet up at different Cafe/ Restaurants for breakfast every week & have sampled many venues in Essex over the years. I can honestly say that the Barn Cafe is up there with the best ones. The variety & quality of the food is extremely good & is cooked to perfection, the seating area is warm, light & pleasant & the staff are very professional, polite & accommodating. We can therefore recommend the Barn Cafe to anyone looking for a nice meeting place & meal.

Food was fab but it was a very slow service, our plain normal coffees took about 1/2 hour and the food was a bit slow too, we were going to have more coffee but they did advise there was a wait so we passed on more coffee and had one at home instead We will be back but maybe pick a quieter day

Lovely meal and coffees as always

Food excellent as always especially the pecan pie with caramel sauce and clotted cream what's not to love, fish very good too. Staff very attentive even when very busy.

I’m sorry to say that we were disappointed with our breakfast meal. The coffee was weak and tasteless, the bacon was overcooked and we had to snap it rather than cut it. The black pudding was also overcooked, solid and difficult to eat. However the service was very good and the surroundings were very pleasant.

Came with friends as we find the venue and food consistently fabulous. The beverages took a long time to come- a very long time! However staff communicated this with us when we started to get twitchy explaining it was backed up. It was also a very busy session. We tried a new breakfast dish Turkish flat bread with poached eggs, walnuts and other bits. Flatbread was a bit too salty - an interesting choice but not for me.

Delicious food and original. Incredible cakes. New favourite place to eat. Not cheap but so good.

Excellent food. Comfortable and Happy environment. First class service. Really customer friendly and focused.
