Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendThe food was great as usual, The atmosphere was fine and everything gave good value for money . The only cloud was the service. Once our drinks were served everything slowed down. I accept that it was busy , and the main course arrived after just over half an hour. However it took ages for our plates to be cleared, and I eventually had to ask a waitress to get us coffee having abandoned any thoughts of sweets. We had the impression that we were being avoided by some staff who seemed well trained in not catching the eye of customers.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat service & lovely food as usual.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAmazing Sunday roast. Staff lovely but only issue was getting somebody to take dessert order
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterNever fails on the food front! Menus are varied and all the traditional dishes are cooked beautifully. Best fish and chips for miles around and the steak pie was delicious. Breakfast is particularly good. Staff are helpful, polite and pleasant. The only drawback is the noise factor which can become quite astounding!
