The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFirst time having Sunday Roast at the Barn, seating was a little cramped, but the roast made up for this it was all very good, plesant waitresses, the roast was served hot with good portions of vegetables and nice big roast potatoes, my beef was cooked just right and my wifes pork the same with nice crackling. Yes would come again.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterThis was a birthday treat for my mum and she loved it. We are regular customers as the food is excellent and service really good with friendly staff. Lovely environment too
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterVery good value for money with a great variety of food well cooked. The only negative comment is that some parents were not controlling their children who were running wildly around the restaurant and shouting loudly.
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonLovely breakfast at The Barn. I had American pancakes with Greek yoghurt and berries and my husband had the full English. Great service and lovely food! A little on the pricier side compared to m other places locally but I never hesitate to visit.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – Colchester4 of us booked the Gala NYE Dinner. We had a very enjoyable evening - canapé + 6 course taster menu. The food was excellent - very unusual + creative dishes . We opted to pay more for the wine pairing selection . The food/wine pairing was excellent value served by pleasant attentive waiting staff. The atmosphere was great with party hats + face/moustache masks on our table to get us in the mood for the disco with midnight serving of Prosecco.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterHave been coming here for a while now and is the best breakfast in Colchester and the service is always fantastic.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterA wholesome experience. Good food, great ambiance . Downside was that one of the hospitality staff was requesting for a tip, quite odd. I’d visit again
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonStoked is always and will always be one of my favourite vegan restaurants in the local area. The time and effort put into the restaurants decor, vibe, food and service is second to none. There’s also something for everyone if you aren’t a fan of the “meat” style meals. I personally loveeeee their seitan and can never go wrong with the og chick’n slider. The drinks are great too with so many alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The staff are always so wonderful too. The menu is small but it means that every item has had a lot of time spent on it!
Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendWe had our office Christmas Lunch here and it was superb, food quality and service was excellent, very well organised.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterThis is the third time we have attended the Blue Anchor for a 6 course gala dinner on NYE. It’s always a fantastic evening with dancing until 1am to see the new year in after dinner. The food was amazing, the atmosphere friendly, cozy and inviting, service was also excellent. Great value for money too. This has become a regular event for us with family joining us every year because it’s a great night. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking to see the new year in, in style. Thank you to the team at the Blue Anchor for a great NY celebration.
The Blue Anchor – ColchesterWe had another excellent breakfast at The Barn Cafe. Always great friendly staff providing one of the best breakfasts in the Colchester area, and probably further afield too! Excellent coffee, sublime cooked food, especially the eggs benedict!
