The chef found us a table at short notice, which was brilliant. The garden was lovely, with a great view. The fish starters were delicious. I had swordfish, for my main and my friend had, Cromer dressed crab. Also catered for gluten free. Both meals were superb. The staff were friendly and professional.

Rewards scheme. I qualified for a free dessert on my app & the waitress said yes, claim it at the end. I did not really want anything but thought I would as it was offered. However when I claimed it off the bill I was told that as I had only had soup. I did not qualify so ended up having to pay £6.75 for a dessert I did not even want. Also as two of us were gluten free we did not get any bread with our soup. Surely in this day and age it is not expecting too much for a restaurant to have a gluten free loaf in stock

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.
