Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendFabulous as always, service was a little slower than normal but it was very busy.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterPopped in for lunch for my 6 year old’s birthday. They’d laid out some decorations on the table which was a really nice touch. I asked about a salad option as I’m really restricted, and they made me one up without any fuss at all! So nice to have that accommodated despite me being in a diner where burgers and ice cream are the theme, thank you so much for being so flexible for me. Food is so generous in portion size, and staff are always so lovely and friendly, we love Grumpy’s!
Grumpys Diner – SouthendAlthough the restaurant was extremely hectic the service was still good. The staff were dashing above and certainly earned their corn this day. The food was a little slow in arriving but very understanding but it was well worth the wait A very happy morning.

The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe're regular customers. It's always busy these days, even more on a Monday. Just read a previous review about probs paying by card; can't understand that, as we've never had a problem paying by card. Always good coffee and food and staff very good.

Stoked Vegan BBQ – SouthendOne of my group got charged an adult price despite being under 1.5m. Food was bland and fresh cooked meat was tough and flavourless. Kids left to run riot by their parents. Tables not very well layed out and to many. Better off paying a little more and going to Aroma!
Spoon World Buffet and Bar – BasildonThe eggs Benedict was really tasty and my friend had poached eggs and avocado, she enjoyed it but didn’t like the extra tomatoes they had added. Disappointed with the hot chocolate which was very watery, but they assured us it was made with milk. A very nice place to meet up with friends for breakfast.
The Barn Garden Centre Cafe – ColchesterWe absolutely love the food and vibe at Stoked! We had our Valentines meal there and we were very impressed. The food was beautifully presented and all the dishes tasted amazing. Definitely worth a visit for the fantastic selection of imported ales and the revolutionary approach to vegan cooking. If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?!
