Reviews in Colchester

Very disappointed with the choice of menu for lunches. The breakfast menu and food is fabulous but not so keen on the lunches

As always, food was to a high standard and delicious. Service was a bit faster than usual too! Lunch with two friends from Australia, currently visiting the UK. A thoroughly enjoyable time; can't wait to come again!

Lunch was lovely as always, great service, friendly staff.

A hidden gem of a garden centre with a really lovely cafe thrown in. What more could you want for a day out with a friend? Staff friendly and welcoming. Good, delicious and hot food. Will be returning.

Fabulous food! Fabulous customer service! Fabulous place! Thank you

Always a pleasure wonderful food in a lovely location a regular visit for sunday breakfast is always a treat

Friendly service. Comfortable and inviting. Great quality food and drinks. Now one of our favourite places for lunch.

We bought our grandaughter and her husband for lunch. We all had a lovely meal really enjoyed it. Good service too. We have been before and will be coming back again soon. Thank you.

Think it's wrong can't pay with cast at all a lot of older people don't have bank cards guess that's not the sort of people in anymore ? And now expensive due to table service

Nice surroundings , friendly staff and a well cooked breakfast.

The atmosphere was lovely, all the staff were happy and smiling. The food was beyond good, I had steak on sourdough this was hands down the best ever sandwich I have ever eaten, it was delicious, all the fillings worked in harmony. I even loved the mixed leaves as they had a really lovely dressing on the!this was followed by a lovely moist and tasty piece of carrot cake.

We had a lovely relaxing lunch. the staff can’t do enough to help you. Would definitely recommend

Had Sunday lunch . Food and service excellent .

Visited on Sunday with my husband for a rare child free lunch. Food was absolutely fantastic, but unfortunately the service really let it down. 5 tables walked in after us and were all served before us. It was only when we pointed out that we were being missed that a defensive waitress (who was insistent people who were serviced in an order, despite us witnessing differently) finally went and told the one person who was taking orders that we were waiting. In total we waited 20 mins for a drink order to be taken, despite the restaurant being very quiet. The food was beautiful but it really spoilt the day for us

On a personal level, I have nothing negative to say! We use The Barn Garden Centre Café with family so there are usually seven of us. The menu is varied and there is something to suit everyone, it's a pleasant environment and the food, be it breakfast or lunch, has always been tasty, well cooked and presented. I have always found the staff to be friendly and very helpful.

Great please to meet friends, enjoy a cake and look around the plants and shop. It is simply lovely. Good service and delicious food. Thank you.
