The Blue Anchor – ColchesterWe visit occasionally as walking distance from our home.. Service efficient and polite , food always tasty ,never feel rushed. Would recommend.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterWe had lunch yday and the food was pretty good - kedgeree and the pie special were delicious. The Buddha bowl with chicken was a bit of a disappointment - chicken lacked any sort of flavour and didn’t seem very fresh. The salad wasn’t hugely seasoned, felt like each ingredient was just plonked on the plate like a salad bar. For £18 we felt it was overpriced. For £10-12 it would have felt like a fine meal but £18 is what I’d expect to pay for a nice main meal at dinner. Lunch for 4 for £100 (no alcohol or desserts) feels steep at a cafe! Good service and lovely atmosphere!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterCame here on Boxing day and as always we all enjoyed the whole experience. Great food, varied menu to suit all tastes and excellent service provided by friendly and attentive staff. Thank you Blue Anchor team for making the day special.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterVery disappointed to see they were only serving breakfast - this wasn’t stated on website or on my reservation confirmation (I booked for 12.45) 20 minute wait for order to be taken. Overcharged - did email to see response but they didn’t come back to me
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterVisited on New Years Eve. Really good atmosphere in the Restaurant. Staff were extremely friendly and efficient. Food was beautifully presented and tasted superb. Only 1 of us had eaten Ox Cheek before but everyone enjoyed it. This is a regular haunt of ours and it never disappoints.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterNew year tasting menu - I love the food at this restaurant but I thought the menu on this occasion was over complicated, strong flavours mixed . I think because it was NYE a tad on the pricey side.

The Blue Anchor – ColchesterWe booked for brunch on Sunday. The staff were quite abrupt on arrival stating how busy they were. It took far to long for the order to be taken and then an hours wait for it to arrive. The order then arrived wrong Very disappointed as I have been to the Barn in the past and had an excellent experience.
