Library Ingatestone – ChelmsfordThis is our favourite garden centre restaurant. There is always a good choice of food and the service and staff are excellent.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat place to dine, food was great and the staff were very friendly. Thank you to the owner Caz who made our experience there extra special. We were celebrating my Dad's 60th .
Library Ingatestone – ChelmsfordLovely brunch. Eggs royale was absolutely spot on. Lovely coffees as usual.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterA lovely morning spent buying gorgeous plants for baskets and tubs, rounded off with a delicious roast lunch. Fab way to spend Sunday after all the restrictions. Felt almost normal again.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAttentive staff preparing & serving great food, with eggs yolks such a lovely colour they can’t be supermarket!! We will be having breakfast there again! Thank you
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFood excellent. Music too loud for my taste. Service very junior and needs a better wine list. Will try again when not late on a Friday night.
Library Ingatestone – ChelmsfordI had breakfast there with a friend and the Eggs Royale was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. I would recommend the Barn to anyone for their food and the helpful staff. Excellent and will visit again soon.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFood was excellent. Steak perfectly cooked and truffle fries were delicious. Atmosphere was slightly ruined by the music being too loud. Will try again when it's not late on a Friday night. Service was disappointing due to very inexperienced and junior wait staff. Wine list could be better. Caz seems like a great guy though and keen to fix issues, so this could be a great local restaurant.
Library Ingatestone – ChelmsfordWe are regular visitors to the Cafe and will continue to return in the future. Food is always delicious and the servise top notch.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy wife and I found good all round service and staff friendliness. Highly recommended, will certainly eat there again. Battered cod superb, coffee excellent.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe had a really nice lunch at the Cafe on 22 May. The food was very nice and value for money. The service was a little slow but they did apologise as there had been a run on breakfasts. It was not really a problem.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterHad a lovely coffee and treacle tart my friend had a cappuccino and cheese scone. Both were excellent. Surroundings are lovely.I would certainly recommend this place to eat and meet. However the only fly in the ointment for me was we later ordered 2 more pots of tea and paid our bill. The tea was brought over to our table and was told that they close in 5 minutes. If i was told when ordering and paying i wouldn’t have bothered with the extra pots as neither of us had enough time to drink our teas
