To celebrate our wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to book a meal at your restaurant.

The Blue Anchor – ColchesterWent there to celebrate my dad’s 98 birthday. Could not fault the staff making sure he was safe and comfortable. The food was lovely and fresh and hot. Good variety of lunchtime menu and evening. Did not try Sunday roast, so cannot comment on that.
The Bakers Arms – IngatestoneThe group breakfast this time on Friday 11th Oct was not up to your usual standard unfortunately Service was very very slow despite my pre-order, and 4 out of 10 breakfasts were almost completely cold. I bring a group every month and am hoping this was just a one off

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterArrived at 12midday service was very poor waited long time for hot food, food was very good just disappointed that the waitress took drinks order as soon as we arrived but waited long time for them to take order for hot food. Not sure if the gentleman is manager but he could do with having friendly customer service especially dealing with public.
