Reviews in Colchester

Fabulous as always, service was a little slower than normal but it was very busy.

Although the restaurant was extremely hectic the service was still good. The staff were dashing above and certainly earned their corn this day. The food was a little slow in arriving but very understanding but it was well worth the wait A very happy morning.

We're regular customers. It's always busy these days, even more on a Monday. Just read a previous review about probs paying by card; can't understand that, as we've never had a problem paying by card. Always good coffee and food and staff very good.

Need to book as always busy even on a Monday. Food excellent, freshly cooked, good choice and staff all very helpful. Lots to look at before or after your meal.

Young guy on desk was lovely and welcoming and so was our waitress food was nice only complaint very expensive limited menu and still not happy about being held to ransom about only paying by card !

Always a good place for lunch. A good choice of original dishes

The eggs Benedict was really tasty and my friend had poached eggs and avocado, she enjoyed it but didn’t like the extra tomatoes they had added. Disappointed with the hot chocolate which was very watery, but they assured us it was made with milk. A very nice place to meet up with friends for breakfast.

Often visit with friends and always experience excellent service from polite, friendly staff. Food is good value for money and fresh, which means it’s most enjoyable. Look forward to visiting again soon for another breakfast or just coffee & cake.

Great food, piping hot & delicious. the service was swift & friendly.

Excellent service and food . Many of the items on the menu are unusual , which is good to see . We have been here a number of times and the standard is always good . Long may it continue .

Great service. Very good food and ambiance.

First visit for my son yesterday. Like myself he appreciated the quality of the produce used, warm atmosphere and service. He also added that the toilet facilities were very clean. I always say you can judge the kitchen cleanliness by looking at the loo's. Excellent. Thanks again and see you soon x

Yet again fantastic lunch fish just melts in the mouth staff friendly as always

The staff are friendly, welcoming and engaging without being over bearing. The food was great, well prepared and presented and overall good value for money. We really liked the decor and ambience and will certainly return very soon. Having tried a few other places close by this is our favourite so far.

We visited for brunch. We had been here before some time ago, and based on our previous experience decided to return. Just as it was the previous time, the service was excellent, friendly and helpful staff, lovely food and warm and inviting atmosphere. We don't get to go out much these days due to having young children, but the Barn would always be our first choice. Would highly recommend.

Went with a friend and we both had the special chestnut and leek soup. It was delicious beautifully presented. I go quite often and the food is always good.

Meet some lovely friends for breakfast, it was super, staff were lovely and although very busy they were very attentive. Breakfast was so nice and looked as good as it tast. Hope to be back soon
