The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterPrompt service and relaxing atmosphere. Nicely decorated room, spacious and comfortable. Attentive staff and excellent food. My new potatoes were rather tough and dry, so may have been re-heated. Other than that, all food was tasty.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe had a pre Christmas lunch get - together with the family in early December, as they are going away. The whole experience was excellent. It was easy to book. The Christmas decor was beautifully done, and so welcoming. The wine, drinks and food were really good, and catered so well for vegetarians and the children. I had the crab and seafood tagliatelle, not something you see offered that often, and it was marvellous. The servings were generous, same with the desserts. The service was very friendly and efficient - I was impressed by the way a rapport was struck up with the children. The bill was very reasonable and represented excellent value for what we had- a pleasant surprise at this time of year. All in all, a very happy experience- highly recommended, and we will certainly be back.
