The Dukes Head – Bishops StortfordWe came here for a birthday meal Compared to the one in Ipswich, the food here was very average Also, the toilets upstairs were disgusting. There was a light broken and they were very outdated and filthy.
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonBeen before but not for a long time. Booking on line was straightforward and we arrived on time and were welcomed and showed to our table by a very pleasant young lady. Food was very good as were the drinks. Only downside was that several items on the menu weren’t available, but we were all happy with our choices. Altogether a very good experience with great food and friendly service. I will come again.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterLovely atmosphere. Service was friendly but somewhat slow even though it was not particularly busy. Had to grab a persons attention on more than one occasion. Cake, this time, wasn't great. Seemes like it had been frozen over the festive period and didn't taste particularly nice. Lunch however was delicious and the Sunday roast look delicious.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterExcellent service. Super efficient. Beef baguette was the best ever.
