Met for tea and scones at 11.0 Scones lovely as usual. Service a bit slow and had to ask twice for water. Nice good feel atmosphere as always but very noisy. Could do with some sound boards in the roof.,
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFriends and I always chose to meet at the Barn. Friendly staff, very nice relaxed atmosphere. We dont usually eat but enjoy your coffee. Occasionally we have a cheese scone or cake. Maybe we will eat oneday, meals do look nicely presented and plates are empty. Keep up the good standard.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterExcellent meal again at the Hare & Hound yesterday. The food was so good and very tasty. Service was perfect, nothing too much trouble for them. Will definitely be back again.
The Hare and Hounds – ColchesterWe were booked in on Sunday 20 July for Sunday Roast Lunch. We arrived at 1345 hrs booked in with the booking register. We were asked if we preferred eating inside or outside we chose inside and were handed the menus ,with the caveat that there are no more Roast lunches available. The waitress apologised and told us they had been very busy. We were very disappointed as our booking time was only halfway through the Lunchtime session. As you had no food, we had no alternative but to leave. Thank you for sending me this review form but alas there is nothing to review. Kind Regards Michael Lewis
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWonderful Sunday lunch in a great country pub. Good service, great value. The Blue Anchor always delivers! Would definitely recommend!
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterExcellent food and service the ambience was warm and friendly nothing was too much trouble
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterOh dear my second complaint, I love this place and the food is so good. However the prices need to be thought about concerning vegetarian options. I made up a meal of cauliflower cheese £3 plus, roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pud and green veg. It tasted so good! However at looking at bill I was charged over £18 plus! So 3 roast pots and 1 Yorkshire pud plus veg came to £14 plus! Ok the veg could of been £4 but £5 each for 1 Yorkshire and 3 roast pots! My husband had fish &chips and peas ( which he enjoyed) £16. I’m going to stick to the lovely breakfasts and lunch choices and forgo what is suggested as vegetarian Sunday lunch/roast. Risotto is not a Sunday roast. Another review here has said similar about her plate of veggies costing almost the same as a meat roast.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterVery overpriced for a plate of vegetables which was the Sunday lunch vegetarian option Apart from risotto my family had Sunday lunch with meat which was 19.95 my plate of vegetables was 18.95 which I thought was a rip off as the expensive meat was not supplied with my meal ,so is meat only £1.00 ? Will not have Sunday lunch again although we go in the week and it's very nice
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe had an excellent Sunday lunch on 14th July and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the ambience. The service was very good as usual. My observation of the food is that, in my opinion, the portions are over generous. We weren’t able to finish our meals which meant a lot of food was wasted.
