The Owl – LoughtonI have been going in there for about 40 years. I have never had a bad meal there, I have always had good service there, and other than when I was in my ill-disciplined youth, and considered onion bhajis to be missiles after a skinful, I have been quite well behaved too. Try it.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterService and atmosphere was as good as always. My friend and I normally have a breakfast. I have the vegetarian breakfast but this time I didn't enjoy the mushrooms that are normally my favourite. The sauce on them was very strong and the spinach was to peppery. Eggs were perfectly cooked.
