Lovely relaxing setting to sit and eat with some lovely food! Which I was pleasantly surprised, service was very welcoming friendly and polite although slow at times but more than happy to return for the quality of the food

Beautifully laid out cafe are with indoor or outdoor options, the latter planted to set ambience. Staff friendly, courteous. Food- good quality ingredients and some great dishes offered, whether breakfast or lunch. This is a really superior experience in comparison to other garden centre food in Colchester. We always recommend to friends and friends recommended the Barn cafe to us.

Amazing customer service, the decor in the restaurant is beautiful. The mixologist and chef are 10/10 would definitely recommend. Nice welcoming environment created by all the staff

Really lovely garden centre with a large restaurant. Open and airy and tastefully decorated. Very nice service and delicious food. I've eaten there twice so far and would definitely like to return.

Great food and great friendly service.

Great night, great atmosphere and a very nice team. Food very good and Caz the owner welcomed everyone with a smile .

Had such a lovely meal the first time, we returned. The food and cocktails did are amazing a lovely atmosphere. Service could be a little better, but I am sure this will improve. Looking forward to booking Motown Wednesday.

The food was a bit cold or I shall say like warm,but I did enjoy the quality,I will be back but for lunch not breakfast......

Have been going to The Barn Brasserie for years now and certainly enjoy the atomosphere. The ladies who serve us are lovely. The food has not been as good while the restrictions are with us as the menu for main meals has been reduced, but all in all good value for money.

Went with a friend and though this was at 10.30 during the breakfast slot, the staff were ok with the fact that we just wanted a coffee. Following a suggestion from her we shared a toasted tea cake and then another cup of coffee. The staff made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble

Always enjoy eating at the Barn Cafe. Food is excellent. Always good service and staff recognise you from other visits which makes you feel that they welcome your custom. I have taken several family and friends to The Barn. One of the nicest around Colchester. Lovely atmosphere too.

The booking was easy and efficient The staff were attentive without being pushy and the food was excellent

Booked for breakfast which was excellent. Despite being very busy the dining area was very clean and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Have been a few times now and will certainly be returning again soon. One of our favourite eateries.
