Roots deli in Charnwood

Was surprised we’d never seen this place before. Good quality food. Always nice to find a new independent place to eat. Will be back soon to try more from the menu.

Attended a birthday party held in one of their rooms. All the food was delicious and there was plenty, they even provided boxes for the surplus to be taken home. Lovely setting, friendly staff, plenty of space & the bonus of wallabies and alpacas to look at. The farm shop was sadly closed as party was in the evening but I will be returning when it’s open based on the excellent quality of food provided.

Arrived with friends to a full car park and cafe, and were quickly seated at a table that needed clearing. Good sign! We had to find our own menus, no-one gave them to us. Order taken (5drinks, 1 carrot cake, 1 vegan cake option, 3 toasted sandwiches) Drinks and cakes arrived quickly. Table next to us were asking where their breakfast was as they'd been waiting 45 mins, it arrived 15 mins later. The hot food had not arrived for us after nearly an hour of waiting, I asked, to be told it'd be 'a little while' as there were problems in the kitchen, to which we were offered complimentary drinks (which arrived wrong) Hot-food arrived 20mins later, it was nice. Just thinking that we could have been politely for-warned that there was a problem in the kitchen. Those eating cakes were hungry by this time but daren't order now due to waiting time! The Vegan cake option (Coconut, chocolate, raspberry slice) was tiny compared to the huge slice of carrot cake. These need to be improved. Unfortunately wouldn't rush to go back after this first experience. (Average £9 per person)

After buying from the farm shop, we decided to try the cafe. Food was amazing. Freshly cooked. Excellent service too. Will definitely come back 😊

I absolutely love it here. After seeing how amazing the pancakes looked I had to return and try them. They still do the select your own 5 item breakfast which is great. If choosing between the cooked breakfast or pancakes I think I would go pancakes, they're so thick, good ratio of pancake:bacon and plenty of syrup! The fresh orange juice is the best and the hot chocolate is lovely and rich. Vegan options also reported to be good. The staff are all friendly and the toilets clean.

Saturday brunch with family, outdoor seating available for the nice weather but also shaded indoor seating. Passion storm smoothie was good. There's a 5 item breakfast option which is nice to choose what you want. Pancakes looked spectacular.

Had a lovely experience at Roots today, we were lucky enough to arrive at feeding time, it was a joy to watch, then Jane invited us in to the paddock!! It was so nice to see all the baby Bantam chickens and Indian runner ducks, it was cute overload. We then treated ourselves to a drink and a plate of chips, it was only £6.20, great value. All the staff were really nice, will be going back again very soon.

Very nice. The big breakfast baps 10/10 Will be returning again at some point for sure Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Got a chocolate milkshake and panini for lunch outdoors and visited the animals. Food was great, track and trace and sanitiser available.

Had a hot chocolate in the car park (barn and cafe usually open when out of lockdown) and saw the farm animals. Watched the staff feed the alpacas, goats and wallabies. Wallabies only been there a week so kept distance to let them settle in to new home so no pics but they're super cute!! Lady feeding the animals was really friendly and educated us on the wallabies.

Roots farm shop and Deli is excellent place to come too as we have found out over the last 11 months, it as a excellent takeaway service a great farm shop with very friendly and helpful staff. The coffees are second to none, milkshakes are very good. The bacon and sausage cobs are good quality and locally produced, had the pizza today for lunch which was nice to. Also tried the frozen butter chicken and Bombay potato over the last few days which I would recommend.

We had a walk around the shop, selection was good, the animal supplies also had a very good selection. We ordered a take away coffee, as we didn't want to register for track and trace, which is required as soon as we sit down. We were walking around the animals anyway. Toilet is very clean. The coffee was very good. The show animals were all very nice and very cute.

Roots deli as been a welcome delight over the past few months we had used the place the odd time before January this year but as been a perfect retreat to grab a takeaway coffee and milkshakes, the bacon and sausage butties are very nice and locally reared Also the farm shop as also guided us to buy local produces which I wouldn’t have done in the past and wonderful countryside.

Called into Roots today for lunch, which was delicious, and while there we spotted a new mayonnaise that was flavoured with lemon and dill. We used it with some cold chicken at teatime (a suggestion on the jar) and would highly recommend to others. It was different and very tasty. We hope it will become a favourite in the shop.

Pleasant and well laid out deli with lots of choices, good outside space with animals to look at... and nice cafe with homemade cakes and lunches. Nice to have a wander around!!
