Reviews in Colchester

Food is always lovely, drinks & cake - amazing! :)

Lovely welcome on arrival and out table of 5 was ready for 1pm as booked. Great menu choices for Autumn…. Loved the butternut squash salad, amazingly filling! Service great. Slightly noisy atmosphere due to floors and furnishings but we coped! When the quiche is on special would it be possible to have a veggie quiche choice too perhaps? Thankyou, we will come again. Thankyou. We

This garden centre cafe is a great place for lunch or to meet friends for coffee, cake and a catch-up. Freshly made food is always delicious. The staff here are friendly and helpful too, so, combined with the pleasant surroundings, it is a really enjoyable place to have something gorgeous to eat and drink.

Really delicious Sunday lunch and the staff were so understanding as we were a little late for the booking. The food was great quality and the gravy especially was ace! Thank you.

Really enjoyed the roast here. We booked last minute, we were finding it difficult to book anywhere that was still serving a Sunday Roast early evening. The staff were very attentive, we were given the heads up when we arrived that there was only one roast turkey left which we reserved for our daughter before we looked through the menu. The portions were generous, plenty of vegetables that were cooked perfectly, 3 slices of meat and lovely tasty gravy. Hadnt been here before would definately go back. Excellent

A lovely restaurant, pleasant surroundings , friendly atmosphere without being noisy. A good selection on the menu food was good . the service was good although a tad slow for a quiet evening… but we would return

Visited Saturday lunchtime. Family of 8. Superb 6 course tasting menu. Fresh, tasty & beautifully presented dishes. Excellent value for money. Staff were helpful & accommodating. Service good Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch on Saturday. The food was beautiful served in lovely surroundings by very polite and efficient staff. We will definitely be back

The food and atmosphere at Barn Plants is superb!

Lovely poached eggs, thank you

FOOD VERY POOR, TOTALY OVERPRICED STAFF VERY UNFRIENDLY, FIRST TIME WE HAVE BEEN FOR ONE YEAR, HOW STANDARDS DROP.

Visited yesterday again for brunch with friends. Drinks served swiftly, our floor was delivered soon after piping hot. Always enjoy it here you know what you are getting, nice food using quality products

Birthday luncheon A nice time had by all Food was delicious Our waitress helpful and polite

Great! A group of 8 friends. We had a very tasty meal. Lovely staff and location. Have booked to go on Sunday as hear the roasts are amazing. Will support this good honest pub/restaurant as much as I can as there isn’t many left like it. Well done to the new manager!

Hadn’t been back since last May when it was quite average but heard they had new woman in charge. Really wasn’t disappointed Food took a little longer to cook as expected but when it can out it was delicious. Very obvious it was freshly cooked so worth the wait (25 minutes) . Waiter Sharon was friendly and helpful which made our night out better. Recommend!

Always lovely food, and good customer service. I go regularly because its so good. I love wandering around the garden centre always new products to see.

We recently help a birthday party for my daughter Hazel, with 44 guests . The tables ,decorations, lights etc all made for a lovely,atmosphere. The food was good, the service was good, everyone enjoyed their meals and commented on it . The only fault was the vegetarian meal which was dull and unimaginative. My gluten free meal was very nice.

Expensive food for what it is. Customer service / friendliness barely existent. Shame there aren't many other options in the area.
