The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterI'm not a vegan but honestly, this place could convert me. Without doubt one of the best places we have eaten at. Billy was phenomenal with his service (working alone tonight) and his food. Excellent knowledge of vegan food and able to extract some of the most amazing flavours from the food (the celeriac tacos and BBQ beans were amazing!) And his knowledge of drinks was 10/10 as well. Welcoming, homely and comforting is the best way to describe Stoked. Vegan or not you need to go and try this!
Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendNice suroundings. Lovely cake and tea. Helpful staff.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe had such a fantastic experience here! The food was delicious, the owner was so lovely, the restaurant was decorated so fun with all Simpsons memorabilia, and the whole experience was just great! The banana pudding was 10/10 and my favourite thing we ate was the ‘fish’ tacos and the mushroom wings which was unreal!
