The Barn Brasserie, Great Tey, nr Colchester

Such a fabulous eating house! We were worried that on a Saturday night time it might be congested and therefore not comfortable, yet it wasn't when I visited, and so I had the joy of being able to investigate myself and talk comfortably with my guests.

The wine list was intriguing and the bar team incredibly educated and warm and friendly. I can't wait to get back there and sample more food or do a wine sampling.

I had been to the Barn Brasserie several times over a few years and the food and service had always been fantastic. Whilst looking for our wedding venue we discovered that The Barn had begun to cater for weddings and booked immediately. We were not disappointed - we had the most fantastic day. The staff went out of their way to cater for every request we made. The food was excellent - I have been told many times it was the best wedding food anyone has tasted. If you'd like a classy, intimate venue for your wedding or any event, I'd not hesitate to recommend The Barn. One of our friends booked their own wedding reception here the day after attending ours!

"Very happy experience - family get together to celebrate a birthday, large age range from 3 to 70, all enjoyed it. Slightly pricey, but what we expected, and the service was first class."

"My friends and I dined at the Barn Brasserie recently and as usual the food and service were exceptional. We have dined with numerous friends and always have been absolutely delighted with everything."
