Reviews in Essex

After so many months of no treats visited the Barn cafe for breakfast on July 22nd with my daughter and 1year old granddaughter. The staff were so welcoming , friendly and helpful and the food was superb. I had a barn breakfast , my daughter had a veggie breakfast and , after ordering an extra portion of beans for my granddaughter, they offered the choice of a small portion of beans on toast, which my granddaughter loved. Altogether a lovely experience.

Great food at a reasonable price, great friendly staff and service

Lovely breakfast - friendly staff. Food quality fab. Coffee superb. Great comfy, clean, welcoming place to meet up with friends & prices reasonable

The food was delicious (Buddha bowl with hot salmon) but the service was very slow. We were seated and hour and a half and only had a main course. Our plates were not cleared and we were going to have a dessert but was not asked in that time so left

Food was delicious and good value for money although we did have to remind the server about our drinks order before receiving them. The server didn’t seem very happy, I got the impression she was a bit stressed. This has been the case a few times since being able to come back here. I do adore the shop after too!! I want everything in there.

Had a most enjoyable breakfast with two of my friends. Very good meals and very impressed by the staff

Excellent food and nice venue. Worth the long drive.

Great service and delicious food to celebrate the last day of school! Really responsive to specific asks and Steph was great!

Excellent quality, good service. We will be back

Excellent food with a very interesting menu. It was always good to eat there and now we're allowed back it's even better. The newly refurbished restaurant is very pleasant, much more roomy than before and furnished very well. Service was exceptional.

Excellent cafe, perfect place for lunch, breakfast for just coffee and cakes, always good quality and very good service, the best Garden Centre cafe around.

Lunch at the Barn on Friday was lovely. Great setting, great food and great staff. I would thoroughly recommend it

Delicious lunch time meal & friendly staff. Looking forward to going there again when I have more time so I can try one of their desserts which look amazing.

Lovely venue, delicious food and the staff are always friendly.

Loved it here. The atmos and decoration is impressive. The food is generously portioned for the price and tasted greated. I don't eat gluten due to medical issues and to have pancakes that i didn't have to cook myself was just great. Definitely intend more visits.

Another lovely lunch. Great outside seating area, undercover. Good food, choice and service. Super cakes. Garden centre plants are also superb and I love looking around the gift shop area too. Thank you to all the lovely, friendly staff that make this place a hidden gem. Will be back again soon!
