A lovely little restaurant with amazing food. I came recently with my sister, neither of us are vegan but try to try a variety of food and everything we ate was amazing. Really great service too and the staff kindly called me as we accidentally left something on the table. Highly recommend and I'll be back soon .

Grumpys Diner – SouthendOnce again the breakfast was a triumph! One of the best in the area I’d say…. But be sure to book though. Fantastic choice, lovely service and delicious grub. Well worth a visit.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy friend and I had the most beautiful meals. I had the shepherds pie, best I’ve ever had & the gravy was sublime. Now craving it for breakfast!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad a long breakfast and finished with apple and strawberry crumble, gorgeous. Had lunch a few days later and had the feta and roasted peppers quiche, again it was lovely. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the crumble!

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterBilly is an amazing innovative chef!! We’ve enjoyed many a Sunday roast aswell as their delights from their menu and have always been impressed!

Absolutely blown away by all the different textures and flavours made to perfection!! Can’t wait for the next one!!
Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendFood and service always good. Could do with more low carb options. Has got very expensive which is a shame. £12.95 for mushrooms on a bit of toast seems extreme although tasty.

22 Ventidue – DagenhamGood, friendly service and extensive menu choice in a lovely light and airy setting, what's not to like? Well, just one thing and this is not unique to the Barn cafe - I would just love it if you were able to serve a hot, steaming mug of good filter coffee. Americano served in the big wide cups with cold milk is lovely but gets cold so quickly. Please?
