Very good food, great atmosphere but we did have quite a long wait after we had ordered
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterEverything about this venue was excellent, especially the food. Will definitely visit again. Probably the best Sunday roast you can have. Thank you.
The Hare and Hounds – ColchesterI regularly meet friends at The Barn cafe. I would recommend booking a table as it is always busy. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Quite a limited menu but we all found something we liked.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterExcellent food and service. Only negative was the wait between ordering and arrival of our desserts which required no cooking. A good venue to meet friends.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMe and my mum had the beef brisket and it was DIVINE!!! Absolutely loved it. Considering how busy it was the service was still delightful and food was lovely and hot when served to us.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterThere’s an old saying: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. My wife and I have spent five years enjoying the lovely atmosphere of the Barn Cafe, the brilliant hard-working staff and the delightful mixture of simple, wholesome food and a few more cosmopolitan recipes. But when we sat down to lunch last Friday, it was all change. No, we couldn’t order two Buddah bowls, with its unique combination of exotic tastes. We had to choose our own three salads, plus other ingredients and the result was an unappetising mess. My wife left most of hers, I persisted for a bit longer but eventually gave up. Apart from anything else, I don’t want to work that hard choosing lunch. Please stop indulging your chefs and remember who keeps you in business: Your customers. Your menu has succeeded in the past by catering for ordinary people with ordinary tastes. If I want the exotic, I’ll go to an exotic restaurant.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat lunch yesterday. My friends first visit, she loved it. The new salad bowl choices are such a good idea.

The Hare and Hounds – ColchesterWe arrived at a busy time having booked a table. We were told it would be a wait for food but were able to order quickly and had no longer than normal wait for the food. Absolutely delicious main course, beetroot gravlax, excellent staff and overall very good experience.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterThree of us had a lovely lunch. The food was delicious and tasty and the service excellent. We will return having had two good experiences.
The Hare and Hounds – ColchesterI come here regularly to meet with friends, and always enjoy our lunch or cuppa & cake when we're here. The food is always of excellent quality, presented nicely and served by friendly, attentive staff. The menu has a varied choice of 'mains' options with plenty of delicious desserts and cakes for afterwards. With both a pleasant indoor and outdoor seating area available, you can choose where you wish to be, but both have a lovely relaxed feel about them. A lovely environment for a meet up with friends.
