The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAs always had a great evening at Grumpy's. Food was good, service excellent, thanks Cerease and Jasmine, all round a great night. Oh! and the Mr President cocktails went down very well. Thanks everyone.
Grumpys Diner – SouthendHad a very nice time here with two girlfriends. Lovely friendly service and we were not hurried at all. There was torrential rain but we stayed dry underneath the sturdy outside covering. The baguette ordered was lovely and good value but possibly the plain bread sandwich could have been a bit more exciting with some salad and crisps etc. Would recommend to friends who want a nice long lunch and a little browse in the shop afterwards.
