The Blue Anchor – ColchesterHad a lovely Eggs royal today for breakfast. Food lovely as usual. It was busy and the food and drink took a long time to arrive. We wanted a refill of coffee to go with the food, but that only arrived after we had finished eating. All in all we still enjoyed our breakfast though and will come again.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterI often come here for breakfast - I had a vegetarian breakfast which was delicious.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterI visited Spoons for the second time. Food was delicious, if I had 1 complaint it would be that the man cooking the steak didn't know what he was doing. He asked me how I liked it cooked, I told him "medium rare" it didn't matter what I or anyone else said as we all got our steaks cooked the same. "Well done".

It was quite a quiet evening due to the hot weather and football but that meant that the atmosphere was very relaxed and we were not rushed to finish. Would recommend a visit.
