Unacceptable standard of furnishings. Most of the chairs are seriously distressed. Not good enough, given you are charging well over going rate for latte (£3.75)

Called in today for coffee and toast, told the wait would be 30 mins and we accepted this. However, the toast did not arrive for at least 45 mins. Just for toast !! When mine arrived it was white, I asked if the bread had been toasted and was told very bluntly, "yes". Basically I had white bread that was slightly warm, which was horrible. The lady (French??) that served us each time was very rude, unwelcoming and unhelpful. I would not bother going there again.

Ordered smashed lamb burger with mint, homemade tzatiki sauce, coleslaw. Dish came with very cold buns, no mint, no tzatiki sauce and not a smashed burger but a very firm formed one! The kind lady serving did her best and we were offered a free drink. She appeared embarrassed. It doesn't take much to warm/toast the bun, and add ingredients that are advertised! Husbands meal very similar (different burger). Just disappointed for £40! Sorry but it will be a long time before we eat there again.

A friend and I visited on the 1st August at 12.30 for lunch. We ordered just a bowl of chips , a pint of lager shandy and a lemonade. The lemonade was too flat and watery so was the shandy. When we mentioned it to the woman working she got herself a drink and said it was fine. She was rude from when we walked in, she answered the phone while we were waiting to be served. When I asked for a refund she tutted, said there was nothing wrong with our drinks but they were awful. I insisted on a refund so held out my hand but she just put it on the counter. No "sorry you're not happy " nothing so we got a refund and went elsewhere.

Pipping hot coffee on a cold day which was well needed, had a vanilla latte which came in a large mug and good value for price. The food was a delicious and very well presented, it seemed like the chef brought it out himself, smiling and helpful too, grabbing extra sauces ect. Also the female team member taking orders and making drinks was friendly and efficient. I had a roasted veggie and hummus panini that came on loverly soft seemed bread, good helping of chips and salad well dressed while my partner had a fish finger sandwich which also presented well and tasted great. So all round loverly experience.

We went here for a lunch treat. First time visiting here for me, but my fiancee had been here several times. We were very impressed with the waitress who bought our 2 Americano coffee shortly after ordering, which was nice. I ordered the sausage and kale mash, and my fiàncee was recommended the avocado and cheese toasted panini. Waiting time wasn't too long for the food. When it arrived, I was very impressed with the presentation. The panini came with a side salad garnish and seasoned chips. The sausage and mash were presented as a tower of sausage with layers of smooth kale infused mash potato surrounded by a moat of delicious onion gravy. The flavour of the sausage, mash, and gravy were exquisite, my fiancee tried it, and also she shared her panini with me, and the avocado and cheese filling was really nice. Definitely a nice place. It has nice background music, you can hold a conversation here, seating is quirky... old church pews, sofas with chairs and tables too.

My partner has been a strict vegan for over 35 years. I specifically asked for a vegan sausage sandwich and made sure I asked for vegan spread just in case they didn't figure this one out for themselves..I had a sausage and egg sandwich..The waitress gave us our food, and said 'this one is the vegan one'It was only after my partner took a bite and swallowed a bit that she realised that it was meat!!We asked if this was meat or not... 'oh sorry we had a mix up, ill get you a vegan sandwich' really isn't good enough!!..This made her physically sick!!35 years!!It really isn't much to ask in this day and age to understand and respect someone's dietary requirements if you work in a restaurant.. the lack of care or interest disgusted me..not a word from the manager apart from a 'thank you' as we left..We will NEVER return again..

We went to Grounded for my mother’s 92nd birthday and told the member of staff who took the booking that we needed to eat early . We arrived and 7.00 pm , had our order taken at 7.30 pm and finally got our food at 8.30 pm .by which time it was really too late for my mother and her friend to eat . When I complained at the end of the evening I was told that they were busy with three other customers and as they were only a cafe an hour wasn’t long to wait for a meal . I was refused any kind of discount or contact details to complain to the manager . The experience was quite frankly rude and appalling and the toilets filthy.

Went into Grounded with four friends, expecting a reasonable meal. Firstly, all the meals arrived twenty minutes between each one, even though they were ordered at the same time. One of us ordered the 'smoked salmon and poached eggs' which came out looking like bacon, obviously gone off and not edible. Was offered another meal which then took a further twenty minutes to arrive. Overall not the best experience and won't be visiting again.

Staff were nice enough but unfortunately the whole experience was marred by the food and drinks, which unfortunately are key components for a restaurant. My Diet Coke definitely wasn’t, despite it being swapped when I took it back. My beef burger came as a chicken burger, and the lady offered to swap it but as I’d already waited 25 minutes I just ate it.Thankfully it didn’t cost much thanks to EOTHO. Cakes were good apparently.

Four of us came to lunch with our dogs. My husband and I usually get the breakfasts, which are faultless, but this time I fancied something different. I ordered the nachos - big mistake. £8 for a tiny portion, and I mean tiny! It didn't come with guacamole and jalapeno's so it was sent back, only for it to come back out with just the guacamole. All of a sudden the waitress was nowhere to be seen for me to send this back AGAIN so just got on and ate it as I was starving - it definitely was not worth the £8 paid! My friend ordered the halloumi and poached egg on toast. One dry egg and barely any halloumi! The breakfast ordered was great, the only decent meal of the lot. We also ordered dirty fries which was again, tiny! This place has gone downhill drastically and will reconsider returning. If you do go, order the breakfasts as these are the only item which are consistently good.

Epic by name and epic by nature, the breakfast really did live up to it's title.Not bad value by today's standards and was definitely more than enough for a big eater such as myself! Would definitely recommend if you're in the Corsham area and you fancy a bit of a challenge!The price of the breakfasts (especially by the time you add a hot drink) and the fact that my girlfriend's poached eggs weren't runny at all, are the two things stopping this receiving a 5 star review. If my breakfast wasn't so nice the disappointing poached eggs would've probably warranted a lower score. Overall though and taking into account the other times I've visited, it deserves a solid 4.

The café is in a converted Chapel built in 1790. The people are very friendly, the hot chocolate with amaretto is warming and scrumptious, and the food is delicious and not very expensive. Food choices – including vegan and vegetarian options – range from poached eggs on toast, full breakfast, paninis, soup, lasagne, salad and burgers. We didn't have long to wait before our food was brought out - a full breakfast and two paninis for the three of us - and we finished every crumb!

We walked in and could not tell staff from customers. We placed our order and sat down. We could not believe the conversations between staff and the customers, who were obviously a group of friends. They were swearing and a child was running in and out of the bar area and the staff were encouraging this. The noice level from these people was so high that we could not have a conversation and considered cancelling our order and going to a different restaurant as we could not tolerate the noise any longer. With that our food arrived and out of politeness we sat and ate it, paid and made our exit. The male staff member was not dressed appropriately with jeans hanging down exposing underwear and an ill fitting t shirt, not what you’d expect from front of house staff in a restaurant. We felt we were an inconvenience to the staff as they made no effort to ensure our experience was enjoyable. They were too engrossed in indecent conversations between each other. This is obviously why there was a huge lack of customers in there. Despite this, we enjoyed the food, however the poor service and uncomfortable atmosphere means we will not return.

Beautiful location. Unfortunately I can't say anything else positive. There was hardly anyone there yet we still had to wait 10 minutes to be served. Price for the drink we served was more expensive than advertised, we queried this and was just told its because it has cream? When you pay £4.15 for a glorified milkshake you expect it to be good. The "chocolate" and "hazelnut" frappe we were served tasted of nothing other than milk and cream. Tried to force myself to drink it just to get my money's worth but it was really just disgusting so ended up leaving it. Wouldn't come back.

The fish finger sandwich used to be well presented and well cooked but this time I was presented with a tower of “stuff” towered on top of badly cut slabs of stale bread which proved impossible to eat without getting all over my work clothes which was annoying.The fish I did eat was rubbery surrounded by an oily batter and the fish I didn’t eat wasn’t cooked.When this was pointed out to the waiting staff, apparently I’d eaten too much of it to qualify for refund! I think they were too busy standing round licking cups (?!) to care but I was assured that the chef would told to pay more attention. Yep that made me feel better. Not.Now I know why it was empty.

It was managed by a French gentleman and ran like clockwork. Unfortunately when he left everything started to go down hill....... I hadn’t visited Grounded for some time as there are several high quality alternatives in the area. This morning I decided to give it a go and what a mistake that was!! The restaurant is filthy and I mean filthy. Everything is sticky/dirty from the furniture to the cutlery. I ordered a poached egg and bacon on toast and they couldn’t even get that right. The eggs were completely over cooked whilst the toast was undercooked. Then bacon was fatty and very salty tasting. The restaurant was very quiet, despite it being 10am on Saturday morning. Nobody asked how my food was and if it hadn’t been for the fact that I had paid upfront then I would have refused to pay! The staff stood around chatting when cleaning should have been on their agenda. To the owners of Grounded. Please bring in a new manager and either train or replace your staff. If you don’t you won’t last much longer in Corsham.

Myself and my friends always order takeaway breakfast from Grounded - the perfect hangover cure! Generous portions and the full english breakfast is fresh and delicious! I would highly recommend!

Came in with a few friends to this beautiful converted chapel. We sat down at a table with old church pews and enjoyed a really lovely meal. The service was excellent and the staff could not do enough for us and as for the amazing coffee they serve well .... I will definitely be back again

The building is nice although everything else is average. The food, drinks and service are not bad, just not that great either.

My first visit to a Grounded and had heard great things. I visited for lunch with a friend. On first impressions were good, interesting room and lots of tables. Good choice of food including all day breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus cakes etc. The food we ate was good, and the fish finger sandwich was large (goujons were large and fresh). Good choice of soft drinks, coffee etc. What let it down was the sticky table and sticky menus, this could easily be reticfied but we both noticed it.

Went for a lunch date with a friend. Food was good, albeit quite expensive for what it was. Staff were polite but not the most attentive. Would probably go again if needed somewhere in Corsham.

Popped in here last minute for a quick bite to eat and had a very average salad .. it still amazes me how anyone can charge nearly £10 for a chicken and bacon salad with a very small amount of Gorgonzola cheese and a couple of small pieces of chicken ... but apart from the price it was extremely tasty ... could of done with just a little bit more chicken and bacon ...and cheese and then it would of been perfect !! Really good atmosphere ..

Grounded in Corsham is in an old church complete with gravestones in the centre of Corsham with a car park right next to it. There are tables outside and a kids play area. The building and outside area are beautiful, it has such character and has been refurbished to look very funky inside. There is no table service, we had to queue up three times at the counter to order drinks, then food, then pay afterwards. There was a glass and sauce bottle left on the table from a previous customer and the menus were in need of a good clean! We both had eggs benedict and sweet potato fries which were ok, the eggs and fries were cooked to perfection but the hollandaise sauce tasted bland. The paintings on the wall for sale was a nice touch but just as a pet peeve - a lot of them were wonky on the wall! I came away feeling this place has the possibility to be amazing but wasn't quite there yet, it ticks so many boxes and with a little more love and attention it could be fantastic.

Lovely building and ideal location with a really good atmosphere in Grounded BUT sat down on something very sticky on the seat staining a light pair of jeans, sugar not wipped up and sticky menu, ordered and the staff were pleasant and food lovely couldn't fault but then went to the ladies one toilet with notice not working, one with lock broken and other with loose toilet seat and could gave been cleaner really disappointed, management need to appreciate the over worked staff that really were flat out hence couldn't clean up very well and repair the toilets won't be rushing back there

I frequent grounded regularly, sometimes staying for food and sometimes staying for quiet drinks with friends. What I enjoy and trust so much about grounded is that it is well known as and backs up as a family friendly environment. Unfortunately today that was not the case. I would love me to stress that this was not due to the staff but due to a completely inappropriate patron. I had attended with my partner and our 18 month old son with the intention of a quiet drink. This was unfortunately not the case. On arrival of the venue we were greeted pleasantly by the staff as per usual, it was the actions of a fellow customer that ruined our visit. I am a young mum and felt intimidated by a man who is known by locals as a peodophile. He stared at me, uncomfortably, to the point my partner felt the need to ask him to stop. At this point he proceeded to stare even more. I felt exceedingly uncomfortable in a place I am usually very happy. I fervently believe this person ought be banned from this venue on the stance that it is a family friendly place. I hope that in future I can attend this place without feeling threatened.

Great breakfasts - you really feel the care which has been put into them.Lunch is good too - had soup, tasted homemade.Fantastic coffee too.The only downside is how cold the building is.

Popped in early evening one Saturday. Burgers and hotdogs were really nice. Quite a big menu, plenty of choices, meals were tasty: the venue just lacks a bit of atmosphere.

A group of us visited last week what's happened!!! Food gone downhill, service poor all the staff wanted to do was to smoke outside. I ordered an extra portion of onion rings got two placed on top of my chips! Portions smaller and not really presented well!! Very disappointed!! Perhaps you may need to think about your customers instead of opening more cafe/diner! Will not be returning!!

Best pizzas around to be honest. Bad for my diet but I only had one a few days ago and had to order another.
