Reviews in Colchester

Had a lovely breakfast here with a friend. Eggs Benedict was very nice. Lovely atmosphere, wasn't too busy at 9.30am. Service was a little slow when ordering a second round of drinks but that was the only negative. Staff friendly. Nice shop to mooch around in afterwards.

Food is was incredible. By far the best roast I’ve ever had! The ultimate cauliflower cheese as well was lovely.

Amazing food as always, fresh, well presented and great atmosphere and service

Lovely meal in pretty surroundings. Excellent food and service as always.Thank you.

We had a lovely lunch on Saturday. We went with the protein and salad option and they were both packed with flavour. The service was quick and friendly.

My first visit to The Barn, but would visit again, really enjoyed the food especially the dessert!!!

Excellent, as always. Promptly seated outside. Drinks and then food arrived within acceptable time frame. Only issue, shortage of an ingredient for one of the Mocktails but alternative was delicious.

Always a pleasure to dine at The Barn . Fresh ingredients thoughtfully put together to provide a taste sensation. I had their salad option which was delicious and filling . Staff helpful and friendly.

Yet another lovely experience visiting The Barn restaurant.Always welcoming,delicious food and prompt service. Certainly will be returning.Thank you.

We arrived for lunch and staff were lovely. The meal was outstanding. Perhaps lacking in choice for vegetarians and on the day we came there was no choice for a vegan diner for a main course. It wasn’t clear on the day menu which salads were vegan. We could have asked so it’s not a problem just a little feedback to make an amazing place even better if that’s possible. Well done and thank you

Beautiful food, well presented, with lovely staff. My favourite go to place.

Overall was fantastic! My only issue was we sat outside and was very sunny, busy staff were amazing, the food also and I love this garden centre

I visited the Barn garden centre cafe recently and was so impressed. The food was absolutely delicious with an excellent range to choose from. The place itself has such a lovely atmosphere – really good vibes and a relaxing setting to enjoy a meal or coffee. Highly recommended if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful with great food and friendly service.

Went here for lunch, one sandwich on the menu for kids, cheese on toast £12 - we looked at the menu and left

Very impressed with the experience. We were treated politely and not rushed, and looked after very well at the table. We had a choice of table, and noticed that everywhere was clean and well presented. However I did feel that the menu was a bit on the pricey side for what was actually on the plates.

This is a lovely venue with excellent service. However the menu items and the meals themselves have not been as good as usual since the last menu change. Wondering if we need to change venues for our meet ups.

Brought 2 friends who were staying with us, for breakfast. My husband and I regularly eat here so already know how excellent the whole experience is. Our friends were completely blown away by the friendly, competent service, the lovely setting and relaxing environment and the selection and quality of the food received. Everything was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. You couldn't fault it.

Saturday lunch, absolutely delicious, couldn't fault a thing.
