Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonGreat breakfast. My friend and I both had the avocado and poached eggs with added bacon. Delicious.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterFood and service were A1, even changing some items from the fixed menu. Very busy and very noisy, which was a shame
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterI’d booked a table For 10:30am for 4 people . It was mine and two others first visit on recommendation of my daughter who had been before. She was with us also. The breakfast was lovely. 3 of us had the eggs and avocado on sourdough and then one smoked salmon and scrambled eggs also on sourdough. My mum said the scrambled eggs were a little on the cooler side but was too hungry to ask for another one! The flavours of the avocado were incredible. It was a party in my mouth! The poached eggs were perfection. I would highly recommend this dish. The staff were friendly and polite. My only complaint would be the knives. I know that’s a bit random but we all struggled to cut our sourdough toast due to the bluntness of the knives! We will definitely visit again
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterGreat friendly staff!! Food always being topped up.. only downfall is the toilets was not clean at all Would definitely come back

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterMy family and I had a Sunday lunch at The Barn which we all very much enjoyed. Great service and enjoyed sitting in the outside section, next to the shop which had a lovely atmosphere. We’ve also separately had tea and cake here a few weeks ago which we loved too!

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterCannot fault the service or the food My friend had the toasted t cake as I recommended but for the first time I went for the bacon butty- lovely fresh granary bread which was full of very flavoursome bacon- definitely to be repeated We were sat at a table within the shop rather than in the main restaurant which at times can get noisy & busy so prefer the quieter atmosphere of the smaller area Lovely way to spend Sunday morning!
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterDelicious fresh food and lovely staff.

Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonLove everything about this place. Been three times in about the last 6 weeks. The food and service are consistently good. The Scallops starter is delicious. Two for one burgers on a Thursday is an absolute bargain. The atmosphere is buzzing with drinkers and diners all having a marvellous time…we’re just sorry we don’t live in Broad Oak!
The Dukes Head – Bishops StortfordGreat service. Friendly staff. Got a discount as I am a blue light card holder (just show proof of your card for 10% off) Ok selection of food for the price you pay. Clean tidy environment. Attentive staff around clearing plates or changing food when low.
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonWe both had the king prawn Marie rose open sandwich which was nice but really could do with more prawns especially at £13.95. I’m a regular visitor as I love the garden centre and the cafe has a lovely atmosphere and very good staff. It might be nice to have a normal sandwich on the menu sometime not open ones.
