  “Finally visited today ! Quick Look around first then found a table & ordered tea, coffee & breakfast !! Our drinks were brought out, then we waited & waited after 45mins, my husband enquired!! Apparently our food had been brought out but to a different table ???? Requested a refund, not much of apology, but full refund given. Very disappointed 😞”

  “On a sunny day this is a great place to sit with its setting reminiscent of a Mediterranean villa. Sun baked courtyards offer great views and welcome shade and there is an excellent cafe serving delicious food with friendly staff. There is a well stocked shop with lots of tempting offers and prices that seemed pretty decent. Finally the garden centre itself offers most things a keen gardener would need. It’s also worth a short walk down to the lake with its restful surroundings and a welcome place to sit. Very much a recommended stop if you are visiting the area.”

  “A fabulous setting, great location and brilliant food. I always recommend Leaf & Ground to friends looking for somewhere to catch-up with other friends and family who might be travelling through Gloucestershire. It’s got an exciting space for children to run around including a play area, there’s a short walk with a small lake and then there are big relaxed spaces to eat with brilliant quality food. Exit through the deli to take home some treats. We stop regularly but our last visit was en route home from a long drive back from Cornwall.”

  “Beautiful scenery and building, could easily be a wedding venue. Free parking as well. The food was delicious, however... I ordered a latte with oat milk and it came with dairy, I wasn't asked about intolerances/allergies either when ordering food/drink. It was rectified quickly but naturally it's annoying. The staff could be friendlier, but I appreciate it was busy. We sat outside and had to go in to order, usually no problem however there is no real till/place to order from. You just go to the bar area and stand in a huddle and wait for someone to notice and approach you with a tablet, not great when it's busy as there's no queue/line. The other issue with outside is the staff had no idea what table was where. The tables are numbered, yet our drinks then food made it round the entire courtyard and we had to flag them down. I guess people move tables around a lot outside and I can imagine this is annoying for the staff, perhaps the owners/managers could help create a system to help the staff here? (E.g., give customers a table number with a flag so staff can easily see where to go). Good experience, but could have been improved in areas.”

  “What a lovely place to spend a few hours. The café is warm and welcoming, serving a delicious cappuccino that was easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time. I’d definitely recommend booking ahead as it’s clearly a popular spot. The deli is fantastic, filled with fresh local produce, quality wines, seasonal vegetables and plenty of gourmet treats to take home. There’s also a charming gift shop offering beautiful handmade items including pottery, candles and other unique pieces from local makers. I also loved browsing the indoor and outdoor plants for sale — such a great selection and very well cared for. The grounds themselves are beautiful, perfect for a relaxing walk around before or after visiting the café. Free parking is another big bonus and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. A wonderful destination with something for everyone — highly recommend visiting.”

  “We decided to try the coffees in the café and were seated quickly. However, we then waited around 15 minutes to place and order and still no order taken. When we eventually went to the counter, the staff were chatting amongst themselves rather than attending to guests in the cafe, In the end, we ordered outside as it was much quicker. An amazing location, but the staff need to be far more attentive or trained to better level in the cafe.”

  “Leaf & ground didn’t disappoint, starting with the service, prompt, polite well informed. Food was on point, I had the smoked trout with beetroot to start. This was 10/10 for me my other half decided on the black pudding scotch egg which I have to say looked amazing. For mains we had the duck & and the chicken both were delicious again well presented, made with local ingredients and seasoned well. Desert was the meringue again this was on point, the rhubarb and pistachio topping I thought worked really well. Overall we all had a really nice evening in a beautiful setting. A must try for an a beautiful evening dinning experience.”

  “A cafe, deli shop and beautiful garden centre located just outside Cam. This was a gem of a find. Love what they are doing here. Plenty of parking, dog friendly and quality food. Lovely dog walk beyond the car park with superb views as you climb(only for customers of Leaf and Ground). Highly recommend this place. They have quick bites and drinks available from their outside hut and a cafe if you want to sit in.”

  “Lovely cafe, great food and dog friendly. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast here on Sunday 29th March 26. Generous portions and really great food. We all chose Avocado and poached eggs on sourdough with macha salsa and added streaky bacon as an extra. Popular place so I’d recommend booking ahead. We also enjoyed a look in the garden shop, the deli and a walk after. Dogs not allowed in the Deli.”
