Well worth a diversion off the M5. Incredible architectural masterpiece, a cleverly designed, unique, retail and dining venue which will not disappoint. The buildings and surroundings have been executed to the highest quality. Fabulous cafe/restaurant with opulent deli and garden centre. Check the business website for the complete story and proposition. Stunning views and fine food.

Garden shop with presents eg candles and ornaments, a deli shop and a cafe. Very dog friendly, and there are some nice grounds to walk in and to take your picnic bought from the deli should the weather cooperate. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely advise booking before you go (we booked an hour before and when we arrived they were not accepting walk ins). Plenty of parking.

Always a pleasure to come here after a potter on the Cotswold Way. Great food and friendly service. And well behaved dogs are allowed in the dining area.

Had a nice lunch at Leaf and Ground on a Tuesday. Hot food was served from midday, and came out quickly. The food was yummy, and you get a good portion. The waitress was really friendly and helpful. Free parking available so long as you're a customer, and there's lots of nice groceries and treats you can buy too. Would recommend!

Disappointed in my visit. Waited too long for order to be taken even when staff up and down to kitchen, passing our table numerous times. No-one said, "I'll be with you in a minute". Tea cakes were under toasted... I have always had a great experience with superb food.....not today. Don't let go of your standards L&G.

Great place, love the food, only reason I didn’t put 5 stars for food is because I have a request: can you PLEASE put less sugar in the chocolate brownies! They’re almost spectacular, that amount of sugar makes my head spin and trust me I can handle sugar pretty well. That’s like, a lot. Maybe substitute for dates?
