Reviews in Essex

Excellent Sunday Lunch, very tender meat and an excellent array of vegetables all cooked perfectly. Very busy but service was good and the staff cheerful and helpful. Not the cheapest but still good value for money given the excellent food. A lovely venue to dine in.

We have been going to the Barn Cafe for Sunday breakfast for a couple of month’s now. We meet up at different Cafe/ Restaurants for breakfast every week & have sampled many venues in Essex over the years. I can honestly say that the Barn Cafe is up there with the best ones. The variety & quality of the food is extremely good & is cooked to perfection, the seating area is warm, light & pleasant & the staff are very professional, polite & accommodating. We can therefore recommend the Barn Cafe to anyone looking for a nice meeting place & meal.

Lovely meal with friendly perfect hosts and service Good value as well as dog friendly Thank you so much

Food was fab but it was a very slow service, our plain normal coffees took about 1/2 hour and the food was a bit slow too, we were going to have more coffee but they did advise there was a wait so we passed on more coffee and had one at home instead We will be back but maybe pick a quieter day

Lovely meal and coffees as always

Food excellent as always especially the pecan pie with caramel sauce and clotted cream what's not to love, fish very good too. Staff very attentive even when very busy.

I’m sorry to say that we were disappointed with our breakfast meal. The coffee was weak and tasteless, the bacon was overcooked and we had to snap it rather than cut it. The black pudding was also overcooked, solid and difficult to eat. However the service was very good and the surroundings were very pleasant.

Came with friends as we find the venue and food consistently fabulous. The beverages took a long time to come- a very long time! However staff communicated this with us when we started to get twitchy explaining it was backed up. It was also a very busy session. We tried a new breakfast dish Turkish flat bread with poached eggs, walnuts and other bits. Flatbread was a bit too salty - an interesting choice but not for me.

Delicious food and original. Incredible cakes. New favourite place to eat. Not cheap but so good.

Myself and my husband came along with two friends for lunch this week . Restaurant was light , bright and warm, as were the staff. The portions were plentiful and very tasty , even an omelette was praised for taste and texture. Eton mess desert was made with real fruit sauce and was delicious. All in all a lovely , reasonably priced meal . Thank you

Excellent food. Comfortable and Happy environment. First class service. Really customer friendly and focused.

Tasty food for our lunch. Beautifully presented and cooked well. Helpful staff offered good advice and service.

Always have an amazing meal and time at Stoked. Highly recommend!

Visted Stoked for the first time yesterday. The food was amazing and great value. The decor is fantastic and we felt very welcomed for our first time. We will definitely be back soon!

Excellent menu choices, quality food, and service. Very enjoyable lunch in a busy environment.

Slow service! My favourite meal was the Buddha Bowl but it wasn’t on the menu - please bring it back!! Not the best today but I’ll try again another day

Lovely food and staff but obviously short staffed as no one came over to ask if we wanted desert or another drink after our main meal was cleared away, had to go up to counter and ask for coffees about half hour later. Will definitely return though as such a nice place and good food and I’m sure staff situation will be rectified soon.

This is by far the best roast I’ve had anywhere, will definitely be returning
