Reviews in Colchester

Good food in pleasant surroundings. Efficient service despite being busy. Will return.

Great service, great food, a very enjoyable lunch

Excellent meal and service , value for money.

Christmas lunch for two of us, chosen from the ‘Christmas’ menu. Choice of dishes, food, service and ambience all outstanding, better than we had expected. Decent value for food and drink:

We had a lovely time at our Christmas lunch yesterday and the staff were all so lovely, especially the young lady who served us (sorry didn’t ask her name) Table was big and difficult to manoeuvre in and out but it didn’t spoil things The only thing that we felt the need to complain about were the rock hard roast potatoes which most of us were unable to cut but overall, very nice meal. Thanks

Great lunch here on Sunday, food and wine was lovely, impeccable service too. We all enjoyed it!

Great food, great staff but just a bit cold in the restaurant hope it’s warmer when we come on Christmas Eve can we please sit where there are the table cloths.

Great food good quality, Nice atmosphere. Welcoming staff

lovely place to go as a garden centre and eatery - 'hidden' away before the melee of Stanway. Other centres may be bigger but I thought this centre better in many ways. good parking. light and airy covered shopping area. cosy and comfortable eating area with a good choice of food and drink. Staff were very helpful and happy! Definitely go again and again :)

Best cheese scones we have had. Staff are friendly and efficient. Recommend booking as it is very popular.

It was very good value and the meal was delicious and we all had a lovely time,

Brilliant food served with a smile

Absolutely superb breakfast as always! The ladies here deliver an excellent customer experience.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch at The Barn Cafe. The food was wonderful and the staff very pleasant. Thank you.

Clever noise control. Good All Day Breakfast

Our first visit and we loved everything about it. We will be back!

9 for Sunday lunch wonderful meal and such good service most enjoyable Thankyou

Afternoon Tea booked for 2 on the 8th December, Booked with a glass of fizz but this never turned up so we ordered a lovely glass of wine, our food came out and some of the sandwiches and cakes were delicious but some of the cakes were very dry and crumbly and the sandwiches were in somewhat of a short supply. At no point did anyone explain what the sandwiches or cakes were so it was a bit of a guessing game. Afternoon tea roulette as it were. It's a lovely restaurant and we will return but wouldn't recommend the afternoon tea unfortunately.
