The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAnother visit for breakfast at The Barn on Sunday. Never disappointed with the food, the friendly staff or the surroundings. Since moving to Copford a year ago this is our favourite place to go to. 10 out of 10
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad breakfast. Husbands scrambled egg and smoked salmon on sourdough toast was by far the best he had eaten. Very generous portion of smoked salmon. My vegetarian breakfast was equally delicious, the scrambled egg perfect and tomatoes, bubble&squeak etc were very good. Would like vegetarian sausages added or as an option as most other places provide these. Eaten many times here and always happy with the food and friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.
