Drove nearly an hour to come for a tea and cake with the dog as it states on the website its dog friendly only be told they couldn’t have dogs in because they were short staffed. They also said they announced it but there was nothing on their social media so I’m not sure where they expected people to see it. Especially as their last post was about a doggie menu! Woman was rude and unhelpful and there were 3 families in the queue with dogs that had turned up to be directed to two tables in the car park that were already occupied. Gluten free options were also terrible so do not recommend for coeliacs

We held my afternoon tea hen party here and had the best time!! The staff were incredibly accommodating and generous in helping my hens bring their vision to life. Nothing was too much of a hassle and we felt super welcome - the team at Oranges and Lemons made it all really special. They were also brilliant with our access needs (I’m a wheelchair user) and dietary requirements (vegan, nut free, gluten free, veggie etc). The food was delicious (best vegan afternoon sandwiches I’ve had!) and we’ve had great feedback from the group. The room was the perfect vibe for us - lovely atmosphere and decor. We can’t thank them enough for such a memorable afternoon. We’ll be returning for lunch and many more afternoon teas…!

What a lovely place with such excellent service and really yummy Sunday roast. There is never enough gravy in most subday roasts but not at Mersea Barns! A whole gravy boat for the table! My kids have allergies and so many places we go to eat it's complicated and we are made to feel like an inconvenience but the staff at Mersea Barns went out of their way to be kind and accomidate our dietary needs. Good to see a couple of dairy free/ gluten free things at the counter too makes a world of difference to feel included when you have allergies.

I can not thank the staff at Level Best Enterprises enough for the wonderful homemade lemon drizzle cake that we had with our coffees today. It was gluten-free and dairyfree and was such a treat. Hardly anywhere in Colchester does gluten free and dairy free, and it was an absolute joy! Thank you so much. Your homemade offering is exceptional and I loved all the Christmas goodies!

Genuinely the best cake I have ever eaten. I was really sad when they left London and moved to Colchester but I have even driven to Colchester to have my fix! The new shop is so beautifully decorated, perfect atmosphere and location. The cakes are amazing there are also choices of vegan, gluten free etc. Staff lovely, nice packaging. Would highly recommend. I really want to try the afternoon tea!

We ordered food from here for our Christmas Dance Party buffet. A selection of sandwiches with Christmas flavours, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, dips and veggie sticks and quiche. We have a few people in the group with food allergies as well as sensitive to gluten, vegetarian and vegan . Brunch offered options for everyone! Not just “something to eat” but rather a good selection for everyone to have a nice meal. All the trays and packs were perfectly labelled and the food was delivered on time as agreed.
The attendees of the party came out of their way to let me know that they enjoyed the food.
I will happily recommend for your event. Making an order is pretty straightforward and you can get good advice and help from the team about what to orded. They also let me know if I was ordering too much for the amount of people.
Thank you so much, Brunch. You really contributed to our party to be a great success.
Highly Recommended!

Popped in after a visit to the dentists, hoping to grab some breakfast, but I was too late as it was 12pm. However, the lovely staff member did me a strong black coffee (very tasty, strong without being too bitter), offered me some toast and tried to cater to my gluten free diet, and later on returned with a packet of GF crisps as they had finished breakfast time. Very thoughtful service, and the sofas at the front of the shop are extremely comfortable, I did not want to leave.

The food was amazing and with one person in our party being gluten intolerant they went above and beyond to accommodate her dietary requirements. The waiter we had was so attentive with a refreshing sense of humour. We will definitely come back again! The only negative I can say is that we were one of two tables so the atmosphere was subdued but the food and especially the service was outstanding.

We visited Coffee Hog in PrettyGate for the first time. Lots of lovely cakes and treats available to choose from and I was super happy to see they also offered gluten free items. The Staff member seemed to be really clued up on what was gluten free and what wasn’t which made me feel really reassured. I love that they have a toy area for children to explore, which means parents and carers can enjoy their coffee and a chat in peace. Will definitely visit again. :) x

My wife and I booked a last-minute meal at Pavilion on Monday, and I was blown away by the service. As a coeliac, eating out can be a challenge, but manager Gareth took the time to go through each option and gluten-free alternative the chefs could prepare. The level of care was outstanding, and I felt completely at ease. The food arrived quickly and tasted incredible! Highly recommend this restaurant for both the service and the quality of the food.

Great service, particularly as we were a very large party. They also catered to diners with dietary requirements—we were told they ordered Gluten Free pasta specifically. Food was tasty, staff were attentive. Particular big thanks to Camila who was always there when we needed something! Beautiful ambience and good music too :D
