The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterVegan Food is METALLLLLZ! Took a trip to Stoked over the weekend , I’ve seen them popping up over my Insta for the last couple of months and when I saw they were hosting a metal night it was a no brainier! We were greeted by a treasure trove of quirky memorabilia , the smell of woodsmoke , candle lit tables and rockin friendly staff .. not to mention badass tunes. We went for : Limited Edition Ghost Wings - made from oyster mushrooms coated in the crispiest batter and a hellishly hot sauce , these were SO good , I couldn’t stop ,even though I was seeing double! Hattie B’s Fried “Chicken” - the texture on these buttermilk Seitan tenders was phenomenal and I don’t know what wizard created the Sweet Nashville Hot Oil but it was amazing , crispy Cajun fries and pickles. Mac & Cheese - no explanation needed , Creamy and delicious , not to mention the crispy topping! Also an honourable mention the the themed cocktail list (there were tonnes more cocktails too) and selection of beers including masses of USA rarities. Can’t wait to try some of the other offerings including the new pizzas and someone said “steak” night with Tiramisu! Don’t threaten me with a good time .. Thankyou team Stoked see you very soon!

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterAt the Barn you always get friendly service and a lovely choice on the menu. I had the salmon sandwich which was delicious. The only draw back is they will only accept card as payment.
