Grounded

My friends and I have been to Grounded a few times to meet up and relax together. It’s unfortunate that the garden is right next to a carpark, but that cannot be helped. The interior is beautiful, I just love how they’ve kept so many of the church’s features rather than modernising everything!
The food is great and the drinks are yummy (especially their hot chocolates!), unfortunately they are a little on the pricey side for what you order. There is usually always somewhere to sit so booking anything isn’t really required.
Services is usually good and fast, however a couple of times food ordered by my friends and it took a while to arrive at the table; the place wasn’t even busy and all we had ordered was salad and soups! The politeness of the staff depends who is on duty: most are polite and charming while others seem constantly grumpy and annoyed by your presence.
One great thing that I should mention is a recent event that was held there: Dine in the Dark. This fun event took place to raise money for training guide-​dogs for the blind. The aim of the night was to eat a two course meal while blindfolded! It was one of the best charity events I have been to!

Great place for dinner with the family. Staff are warm and welcoming, nothings too much trouble. Nice play area for the kids and outside space to enjoy the recent sun. Would advise giving them a call to reserve if going to dinner as can get busy or you want to sit on the bigger tables.
