Barn Brasserie, The Description
Situated in the rolling Essex countryside the Barn Brasserie restaurant offers an idyllic rural setting while combined with astonishing accessibility situated as it is just five minutes from the A12 and nearby Colchester in the picturesque village of Great Tey.
This 500-year-old barn has been lovingly restored and is a truly magnificent dining venue with high gabled ceilings and a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that ensures diners return again and again. In fact the 7,500 sq ft thatched roof makes this grade II listed barn one of the largest in England.
The restaurant itself is now in its ninth year and continues to prove itself a popular choice on the region's gastronomic scene. The main restaurant prides itself on a menu that has something for everyone. From its choice menu one course for £5.99, two courses for £9.99 and three courses for £13.99, right up to its sumptuous á la carte menu and impressive wine list, the Barn Brasserie caters to all tastes and all pockets.
You could start with slow roasted tomato bruschetta served with black olive tapenade and a pesto dressing, or even a half dozen Mersea rock oysters, followed by pan-fried roast cod steak with herb crust, dauphinoise potatoes and creamy leeks. Finish off with a delicious lemon tart and peach sorbet.
If you are eating on a budget then the variety is equally tempting. The choice menu of one, two and three courses includes delicious starters like tomato and basil soup or melon and Parma ham, followed by baked fillet of salmon or Tey Brook farm sausages.
There is also an extensive range of vegetarian and gluten free options from baked field mushroom with Stilton and cream cheese sauce to balsamic glazed onion tart with goats' cheese, pine nuts and cherry tomato salad. All that can be accompanied by any of the dishes from our side order menu.
The Barn ethos of quality demands that its chefs use only the very best produce the majority of which is sourced from the very best local producers. Whether it's free-range produce, like chickens from Suffolk or eggs from Tiptree, the Barn gets to know its suppliers and works closely with them to provide the Barn's clients with a dining experience to remember. Every meal is cooked to order and all individual tastes and requirements are catered for.
As well as glorious lunches and dinners, the Barn can also cater for business meetings, seminars and presentations with its private Dealing Room seating up to 20 delegates. Situated in the restaurant's courtyard, the Dealing Room offers a unique opportunity to hold meetings in a secluded and stylish setting away from the usual distractions and demands of the office.
Opened in 2002 this facility has proved immensely popular with business people from all over the region and is also available to individuals for private dining, wine tastings and parties along with our Colony Room which will seat up to 28 guests, offering a modern and contemporary dining experience.
All in all the Barn Brasserie is an interesting dining experience not to be missed. For further information visit the Barn's Website to sort out your reservation or requirements.

Your Reviews of Barn Brasserie, The
James (11 November 2009)
In reference to the recent reservation on a Friday in October as a part of some family celebrations, I must apologise for the delay but I have been away on business, but I wanted to take the opportunity to express our gratitude and sincere thanks for making the night special for my mother-in-law. The dealing room was the perfect venue for the ten of us with the food being great. The service provided from the four waitresses was also excellent as they were very pleased to assist with any need. An excellent night had by all and we would not have any hesitation of referring people to you. With sincere thanks and regards, James.
