Roots + Seeds in Cotswold

Fresh food, great service, child friendly too, what more could you want from a restaurant serving Sunday Lunch. We've just come back from Sunday Lunch at Roots + Seeds in Cirencester. Crispy beer batter on the fish, really chunky chips (not fries) silky smooth mushy peas pretty much a perfect combination. The young front of house team have been well trained to make everyone feel welcome too.

Perfect family brunch spot! Delicious food, lovely location and great areas for little ones to enjoy. Will definitely be back!

Good and coffee was first class. Unfortunately they allow dogs inside but do not manage them. Table next to me couple had dog and every time somebody went near the dog barked loudly. This happened more than once. The cafe staff did not ask the dog owners to go outside, which the dog owners should have done automatically. Shame really as I regularly visit this cafe when I am staying down here and have recommend to friends. Oh we’ll have to find somewhere else I suppose.

We arrived late when they had shut down the tills and a lovely gentleman gave us free coffee and cake both of which were very tasty. Fantastic and a much appreciated gesture. Thank you. Will definitely be back.

Really loved this venue. A delightful area inside and out, friendly, chatty staff and our lunches were first class and the coffee excellent.

Disappointed as had heard good things from friends. Had booked a table and we had a small toddler with us. Walked in and felt like forever to be greeted and seated. Extremely busy on a Saturday and acoustics makes it hard to hear your table speak. Felt kind of chaotic and I wanted to leave when I arrived! Nevertheless finally got seated and plastic chairs looked very grubby. No high chair for my son so had to feed on lap. Managed to feed him and were still waiting for anyone to come and take our order about twenty mins later. I do understand when a place is busy but in my opinion a place is only as good as its service! Got up and left. Having a young child with us, I didn’t think he would make it through the time for order to be taken/be served etc. Shame. Went to have a look in the deli which seemed very overpriced. Maybe it’s just a weekend problem but it’s put me off returning.

Lovely new venue on the edge of this historic town. Beware that it seems to have its sights firmly set on families with young children and has both indoor and outdoor play areas. So it can be a bit noisy inside next to the many children. The food was lovely, if a bit expensive. The Bakewell slice was gone in 3 mouthfuls and was more expensive than the average for the area. There is plenty on onsite car parking, with multiple EV charging points, but none of the parking is free.

We visited twice in January, once for breakfast and once for just a bacon sarnie and coffee. The service was very good, the staff very helpful at all times and the table clean and tidy. It is very popular with dog walkers and children as it is situated at the edge of Cirencester Park. If you are not a dog lover and want to avoid small children then this may not be for you, but if you are a more normal person with a relaxed attitude then Roots+Seeds is a dream venue. We are very tempted to try their Sunday Lunch as a treat once the weather warms up. Compares very well with Cote's food and service.

Having been to Roots + Seeds a few times with my family, our friend group decided to book our Christmas meal there, it was the most delicious food!! Excellent service as always. Roots + Seeds are impeccable with all they do and I can not recommend them highly enough.

The lovely food and tea/coffee were let down by very poor service. Table was dirty and chair was wet, we had to ask for absolutely everything by getting up and going to the counter (cutlery, sauces, glasses, butter etc.), staff were in a terrible rush and we were not made to feel welcome. Music far too loud which added to a somewhat stressful atmosphere. Truly some of the most disappointing service I have had in Gloucestershire recently.

Terrific staff. Really good food. Our various needs were well looked after. Thank you. We will be back again soon.

Stopped in for a quick coffee and cake. The setting by the park is pleasant - must have driven past this many times and not known it was there. Had to use pay and display car park which isn’t ideal but they do offer a rebate for over £30 bills. Our food was good, it was very busy but the owner still took a minute to chat to us. Interior not very inspiring but everyone’s food looked great and we would go back for a proper meal next time.

We have wanted to come here for ages, we were not disappointed. Great location in the Bathurst Park, dogs welcome, beautiful modern establishment and warm. We had coffee and cakes. Both excellent, what not to love.

oh dear what a shame. Apple and celeriac soup that was overwhelmed by apple and only hinted at celeriac; Tip - if you serve thin sliced [dry] brown bread make sure the butter is room temperature? Prawn cocktail that was mainly finely chopped lettuce smothered in an overpowering tomato sauce and 1 rather sad on shell prawn, the rest of the prawns [ probably about a tablespoon] were small, watery and had no taste; I suspect frozen? If you were expecting M&S style fat juicy ones or a retro 80's classic starter you would have been disappointed. At £8 didn't even come with a slice of bread. The roast looked adequate, but very obviously roast potatoes supplied by Aunt Bessie. The fish and chips were - again adequate. Neither offered good value. But the worst was yet to come. A "trifle" served in a large whisky glass that was a dribble of fruit puree, a coating of custard and the best part of a glass of runny double cream. I cannot fault the carrot cake but at £4.50 a medium slice it seemed expensive. Shame really as the setting in the Park is lovely.

Dinner - The best food we have had locally for a long while, and the service front of house was excellent Vegetarian options and Vegetables were lovely I also had lunch here last week and was equally impressed Great value for the money and we will return shortly

I'm not sure if it's a cafe or restaurant! Order at the counter. Food was nice. Cumberland sausage cassoulet (Cumberland sausage needed to be cooked more) was nice, but was it worth the money? I don't think so. Bacon butty and naughty chips were good. Some confusing things, you must pay for parking, spend £30 and the parking taken of the bill, dog friendly, fine but we couldn't hold a conversation due to 3 dogs barking at one another. Puts us off returning.

We had a wonderful meal here on a Friday evening. The ambience is very calm and the food was simply delicious. One of us had a beetroot based dish while the other had sausage and mash, plus the most beautifully cooked heritage carrots. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Totally recommend...we will be going again.

Great place to relax and have a lovely meal. Me and my wife thoroughly enjoyed our evening. All made from fresh produce grown on site. I would highly recommend the chilli margarita

We booked a table for lunch and turned up on time. Table was reserved for us and met by friendly staff member. The menu card on the table was disgusting, it could have been there since it opened. I reluctantly picked it up to read it. Considering the roots and seeds ethos I didn't see a great deal to get excited about however beetroot gnocchi looked good. The specials board offered only soup. It is not table service and my wife ordered at the bar she showed her caravan club card which allowed 10% discount, and paid. The food came the gnocchi was okay but only warm not hot the chips (frozen) were fine. My wife checked the bill and discovered she had not received 10% off. She queried this and was offered a piece of cake which she declined. The coffee and tea were fine. The restaurant itself was more like a school canteen. This impression helped by the numerous toddlers playing in the soft play area. To sum up tea and coffee fine, food choice average served luke warm. Probably a good place for parents with toddlers to have a break with a cup of tea and cake. But not for us. It is unlikely we would return.

Great location. Great bacon sandwich. Great latte. Great establishment. Let down by filthy menus that should not of been in use. In the photo I can only hope this was coffee. Though other menus did not seem much better.

Had a lovely meal out with my wife. Have been a few times now and have always had great service for and drink. Had the parking validated and paid for and it was free after a certain time at night.

Lovely evening meal with my husband. Great food, great service and great drinks selection! We often have a lovely cooked breakfast whilst out walking our dog.

The food was excellent & great atmosphere. Would definitely come again. Short walk from our camp site at Cirencester Park

Informal lunch with girlfriends to celebrate birthday. Lovey simple choices to suit vegetarians and Sunday Roasters. . ( Lamb Shanks). Sadly no one drinking (driving) . Great service, really hot dishes. . Thank you Sam & Team. Hugs Susie Xx

Friendly from the minute we arrived, went out of their way to make sure a friend who is gluten intolerant had a meal prepared. We had burgers, fish and chips, expresso martini 😀 Bit unfair to see they have had poor reviews due to the...

Lovely cafe and surroundings and so close to our caravan park with a 10% discount. Sat outside with our dog. We did enjoy the coffee, which was hot enough, although we shared a carrot cake (not a huge slice!) I thought £4.50 for the cake...

My husband and I have visited R & S four times between us and it just gets better and better. We've tried a few brunch and lunch menu choices and have always been impressed by the freshness and quality of the ingredients, the presentation, and...

We booked Roots and Seeds because it was so close to the campsite and we weren't expecting such excellent food, the beetroot and thyme gnocchi was delicious and the superfood salad was fresh and very tasty. The meringue in the lovely Eton mess was the...

Nice place, nice staff. Food ok. Parked in car park, bought a ticket, apparently parked in the wrong part of the car park. Found out today that the coffee and cake cost me about £40. The car park is a private enterprise, and not well...

This is a fantastic location for breakfast, cake, coffee and dinner - we have sampled all, this week and the food and service has been outstanding throughout. Looking forward to Sunday lunch tomorrow. Massive well done to the team you have made our holiday. I...

Nice cafe in pleasant surroundings. Good indoor space and nice to sit out in the sunshine too. Not the best coffee, not hot enough and quite bitter and paying £4.20 I would expect better. Would've loved a cake but overpoced at £4.50 for a mediocre...

What a lovely evening: we really enjoyed local beer (from just across the yard), excellent food and with friendly but professional service. Give this place a try for dinner, you won’t be disappointed. (The discount for Caravan Club members was a welcome bonus. Dog friendly...

We went to Roots and Seeds on 2nd September 2023. Had reserved in advance and requested 2 high chairs at brunch but when we arrived we spent the first minute and a half being completely ignored by all of the staff at the main desk...

We met some friends here and had a lovely brunch, the food was good and reasonably priced. There is an indoor and outdoor play area which was brilliant for the children.

Lovely friendly place and a bonus doggy friendly. Stayed on the near by Motorhome Club site found this great place on our walk into town. Just had drinks on the first night on our way back from town, dinner on the following night. Food was...

Beautiful setting within the old kennels at Cirencester Park. Easy to park (and free, just gave your Reg number to staff). We had cocktails in the courtyard to start, the light n stormy was perfect! The menu was excellent, enough choice to cater for everyone...

We were camped on the very near caravan park and this was the first place we went to for a cup of coffee as it was within walking distance. Considering that it was a Sunday afternoon and it looked like it had been a very...

Very nice setting on the edge of Cirencester Park. You have to pay for your car parking - Pay By Phone available. The restaurant is well appointed with friendly, welcoming staff, it is rather noisy due to all the hard surfaces. Food was variable. There...

First visit was on Monday (10th) this week and we were very impressed Great location in the old kennels with instant easy access to Cirencester Park Also in the buildings is an art gallery, antique shop selling lots of big old garden pots and things...

We visited Roots + Seeds a couple of times during the day and also had an evening meal. It’s a new cafe/restaurant in a lovely setting in the edge of Cirencester Park and a very convenient short walk from the Caravan Club site. We really...

Very poor value for money. Two slices of thin sourdough toast with butter & marmalade cost £9.00! Ridiculous! Service was sloppy & thoughtless, too. Every other cafe in Cirencester offers much better value for money.

Went for Sunday lunch and very disappointed. The building itself is attractive but the atmosphere was noisy and chaotic. My roast beef lunch was served cold and my partner’s fish was raw. We also had to chase after his dish as it was being offered...

The plan for this new restaurant is to grow most of their own plant ingredients in due course and you can view progress outside the restaurant. It is set in a new building which is fairly spacious. It felt more like an institutional dining-room or...
