The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy family and I had a Sunday lunch at The Barn which we all very much enjoyed. Great service and enjoyed sitting in the outside section, next to the shop which had a lovely atmosphere. We’ve also separately had tea and cake here a few weeks ago which we loved too!

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterCannot fault the service or the food My friend had the toasted t cake as I recommended but for the first time I went for the bacon butty- lovely fresh granary bread which was full of very flavoursome bacon- definitely to be repeated We were sat at a table within the shop rather than in the main restaurant which at times can get noisy & busy so prefer the quieter atmosphere of the smaller area Lovely way to spend Sunday morning!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterDelicious fresh food and lovely staff.

Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonLove everything about this place. Been three times in about the last 6 weeks. The food and service are consistently good. The Scallops starter is delicious. Two for one burgers on a Thursday is an absolute bargain. The atmosphere is buzzing with drinkers and diners all having a marvellous time…we’re just sorry we don’t live in Broad Oak!
The Dukes Head – Bishops StortfordGreat service. Friendly staff. Got a discount as I am a blue light card holder (just show proof of your card for 10% off) Ok selection of food for the price you pay. Clean tidy environment. Attentive staff around clearing plates or changing food when low.
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonWe both had the king prawn Marie rose open sandwich which was nice but really could do with more prawns especially at £13.95. I’m a regular visitor as I love the garden centre and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere and very good staff. It might be nice to have a normal sandwich on the menu sometime not open ones.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterExcellent friendly service and the Sunday Roast was excellent, amazing Yorkshire Puds and plenty of tasty vegetables, especially the Potatoes.
