The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterPrompt attention, delicious food, lovely atmosphere - apart from a large table of very noisy young women obviously thoroughly enjoying themselves! Don't mean to be a party pooper but, being so close, it was virtually impossible to have a conversation ourselves.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat breakfast for 12 people, pre ordering was simple and after sharing the staff kindly asked everyone by name when their breakfasts arrived making it so much easier for me who was organising. Food was great and coffee is also very good. I only wish they let dogs in!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterPretty good, but a few issues. While the food for my party was generally good, my Philly Cheese Steak was very fatty and I had to leave around half of it. Other than that it seems quite rushed. Our orders were taken within minutes of us sitting and they kept trying to clear the plates while we were still eating. No huge issues, but worth pointing out.
