Reviews in Colchester

Excellent lunch on Friday 14th April. Good food choice reasonably priced. Tart of the day very good with potato and salad. Service friendly and considering the restaurant was full very prompt. Slightly noisy for our 90 year old friend

Good service with waiter. However, specified a food allergy and plate arrived with item so was a bit disappointing. Food generally good but very limited children's menu which disappointed.

Lovely as always. Food good. Service good. Atmosphere lovely. So easy to book a table online.

4th time I’ve been to Barn Plants and not actually been served. We waited 20 minutes however not one server approached or acknowledged us and so we just left (again). Really kept trying to give The Barn the benefit of the doubt as service used to be great as did the food. However, there doesn’t seem to be much organisation any more and it’s just luck as to whether you get served. Very disappointed.

We love The Barn Cafe! My family and I would often come here for Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or just for Coffee & Cake! We’ve always loved it! Now, as well as coming with family, I also bring friends here for a spot of lunch and a meander round. Between the food, the ambience and the politeness and friendliness of all staff - you won’t leave disappointed! The price can vary, however - the price of the food in comparison to just how perfect everything is, both tastebud wise and how it is presented, is very justified - in my opinion. All round incredible!! It’s always advisable to book if you can, as especially in the holidays it can be very busy - their Sunday Roasts are also extremely popular, and well worth booking!! I promise, you’ll never be disappointed!!

Great service and a delicious meal! Never disappoints.

Disappointed. Had the haddock goujon sandwich very greasy lots of batter and not much fish

Previously reviewed but hadn’t adjusted the ratings.

Good food but slow service

I always enjoy my visits here. I think the food is very good, service excellent and always with a smile, and the surroundings are lovely. No complaints!

Very easy to book a table online. Confirmation email too. Food was excellent, would definitely recommend for breakfast and lunch. Staff very friendly

Excellent lunch, fish goujon sandwich which came with a nicely dressed salad garnish. The chips were very nice too. Service excellent

Lunched here a few times, Lunch recently with a friend. Had a wrap, Very nice but need to ditch the green salad garnish and add crisps or similar. Staff always acts polite and friendly . Will definitely return again

I’ve had two breakfasts at the barn this weekend and both were as delicious as ever! All of our party were very happy. The service was excellent and everything clean and tidy - no dodging food relics under the table either. A great place to go with a busily atmosphere - highly recommend.

Excellent breakfast, as always.

The effort, by all concerned that goes into making this dining experience, remember it's just lunch, is phenomenal. Great service, lovely food and best of all fantastic value.

Excellent meal enjoyed by my husband and myself for Sunday lunch.

Excellent service, food and atmosphere as always
