Lovely place to meet friends for lunch. Only issue was doors were open and I felt a little chilly but it might just ha e been me or where I was sitting.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad Sunday Lunch on 10th October The Food quality was excellent very high standard, produce was outstanding. Compliments to the chefs. Also the service from the staff as always was outstanding even though the restaurant was very busy Thank you all so much
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterReally nice decor and the food was lovely. The cocktails were disappointing, and a wine list wasn't offered as standard, which is a shame. This bar would be better sticking to the classic cocktails as their own inventions aren't the best. The food was great though, we shared some starters and sides.
