Reviews in Colchester

Visit many times as we love eating here. Staff friendly efficient and helpful and happy. Food very good.

My favourite place to go, always excellent!

Breakfast this morning was very pleasant with good food and pleasant staff

A very pleasant experience, with excellent food and service.

The staff are always so friendly & polite. The popularity if the place speaks for itself. The food is always super fresh and the portions are perfect.

First time and amazed! We've just moved to the area and were excited to take our friends from US for a beakfast at the Barn. The atmosphere is perfect, traditional stunning garden Centre with a cafe! The decor is cosy, staff are fast and smiley, food is delicious. Love the no cash policy as it keeps everyone safe. Can't wait to go back and explore the shop a bit more. Thank you Barn staff for our lovely first experience!

This is a regular haunt, on this occasion our breakfast was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly

Visited on a Sunday with my father as we love the roast but as it was warm we both opted for a salad alternative. I had the Buddha Bowl with Salmon and my father had the Halloumi salad with beetroot. Both were delicious and good value. It’s a lovely setting with good service and a broad menu selection to cater for all groups. A hidden gem that I would highly recommend.

Lovely lunch as always with friendly and helpful service. Went back later for afternoon coffee and cake! The only problem with this venue is that they do not accept cash. Like many people, I do not want our freedom of choice to use cash instead of cards taken away, so may have to look for an alternative venue that does accept cash next time. Great shame.

Yet another lovely breakfast at The Barn . Can’t fault anything . Good service , good quality tasty food and I feel the price is fair for the quality . I wouldn’t return as regularly as I do if I didn’t enjoy it . Just a lovely place to catch up with friends . We never feel rushed

Breakfast yesterday was absolutely delicious as always. Staff very helpful without being annoying

The three of us had an exceptionally good meal. One of our party was death and the position of the table we had was absolutely perfect for her. A great time was had by all.

Excellent as always

My friend and I both ordered the Buddha Bowl. Beautiful, colourful presentation of about a dozen different plant based food items. Everything was delicious. We are looking forward to coming again, very soon, for lunch. We took cakes with us. My friend said the chocolate brownies were potentially the best she had ever tasted. The date slice was full of yummy dates; the plain chocolate decoration certainly enhanced the overall flavour.

Another delicious meal. Not had a bad one so far and we've been coming for years. The chocolate brownie was superb.

Lovely food and very friendly and efficient service. Thought the breakfast was very good value for money. Great scrambled egg and high quality ingredients. If I had to critique, I wasnt sure if one of the sausages was cooked fully through so we left it to the side, however I didn't complain because the rest of the breakfast was amazing and more than enough food!

Love it here. My mum and I have been coming for years and never had a bad meal, always interesting things on the menu!! We love the different salads and the risotto is 10/10!

My third time coming here and my visit was every bit as good as the last. Easy to book, excellent service from friendly staff, a good selection of food and drinks - all in pleasand surroundings. My halloumi salad was so so tasty. I live an hour away, but if I was closer I'd be visiting all the time!
