Restaurants in Colchester

As always this The Barn delivered. We have many times had Sunday breakfast, but as we had a friend over from Australia decided to have lunch & we were not disappointed, everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was top notch with a variety of choices being made including 2 vegetarians. Main courses all devoured!!! but ensuring there was a little space for the gorgeous desserts. Food 10/10 Service 10/10 & friendly helpful staff.

I had lunch yesterday with a friend and we both had the BLT Open sandwich. Very disappointing. A limp base of some sort of pitta bread, a squirt of tomato sauce around the edge, two small overcooked rashers of bacon, a couple of cherry tomatoes, a covering of mayo and a few sprigs of rocket. £12.95! I would estimate the ingredients cost around 50p. I know times are difficult in the hospitality business, but if you want to get customers in your cafe you need to give them a semblance of value for money. We had breakfast a couple of weeks ago which was good, but you need another bread supplier, it's too doughy and heavy. Will come back for breakfast but won't rush back for lunch
