The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe had a really good breakfast at the barn. Booking online was quick and easy. The cafe is in a lovely space and all staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The shop has a beautiful selection of home wares and plants. I would definitely return and recommend
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFood and service , nothing to fault. Shop has beautiful items and plants are unusual and well cared for.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterI took my Mum for breakfast. The Barn Cafe is beautiful, we were met by a friendly assistant who sat us quickly with no fuss. We both had a barn breakfast which was amazing! The bacon and sausage were particularly good. Overall great food and great service!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterBooked to come for Sunday lunch with my husband and three children at 1:45. Got there after having a 30 minute walk from home for there to be no roast dinners left. The other main hot meal was fish and chips and they’d ran out of that too. We were all so annoyed. We’d ordered drinks (hot chocolate tasted like hot water) so had to leave after that with empty bellies. Nightmare and felt sorry for the kids. Surely all the covers that are booked you should be able to accommodate a hot meal on a Sunday lunch time!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterVisited many times for Breakfasts and lunches with friends. Tad disappointed! First time ever yesterday we were asked to leave our table as they were very busy? On leaving there were numerous tables free and nobody queuing for a table
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy first visit. Food was excellent and good value. Unfortunately I found it very noisy,(I wear a hearing aid), a result of how popular this place is. The service unfortunately was intermittent, again I suspect due to being so busy. Would visit again, but maybe for a later lunch, when it may be more relaxed.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe were very impressed with the efficient quick service despite there being quite a few diners there. Lovely tasty meal in a great setting .

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad a lovely lunch yesterday, I had the omelette and my husband had the fish and chips. Delicious. I then had the pavlova which was fantastic. Service was good. In all a very enjoyable visit.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAnother fab experience at The Barn, busier this time but no less as good. Breakfast with a friend, hot pots of Breakfast Tea, I chose the poached eggs with a muffin and cooked ham with a side of Hollandaise. Not a morsel left. My friend was barely viewable over the mountain of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon..she fought through it! We left, all caught up with full tummies. Fabulous service as always by the staff. Please remember to take change for tips.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterVisited again yesterday with friends for a late lunch. Again a lovely meal, good portion sizes, hot and nice presentation. Booked for brunch in a couple of weeks too.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad a lovely lunch with a friend at Barn Garden centre cafe Sunday just gone. Service wonderful friendly food tasty nothing too much trouble for waiting and all staff there. Atmosphere great even when so wet out.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterA great place to meet up with friends! Yesterday was no exception with seven of us enjoying mid-morning refreshments in the indoor “terrace” area - the older among us finding it easier to hear the conversation around the table in that particular area. The reception on arrival was warm and welcoming, the table service prompt and friendly, and the food was delicious as always! I booked online (a simple, efficient process), but unexpectedly had to adjust the booking the day before by email; yet despite this coming so last-minute, the staff were so good, accommodating and helpful. Thank you to all concerned for a great experience!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterThere was 17 of us , we pre ordered and we all really enjoyed our breakfasts. It was hot and the staff were very pleasant. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you.
