Cafe Grounded, Redfield

What an utter disappointment. At the end of past year, this was a vibrant place with really tasty food. Tonight was my last night for sure. Yet again, they didnt have the food on the menu and then the chef decided not to do tapas. With little choice, I had the Grounded special pizza which was the most unappetising circle of raw garlic and bits thrwn on top, with little love. So awful, I've just come home and put my fingers down my throat because I felt ill. Its better in the pan which is where I think the chefs love of their job is too. Unfortunately, stay away from this place until they turn around their staff. Front of house staff, lovely, polite and smiling, probably because they're leaving a sinking ship too. Bring back the Grounded it used to be.

Partial good service, average food. Atmosphere was poor, we were the only people in there by 9 o’clock on a Friday evening. I won’t be returning.

I’ve been going to this Grounded for about 10 years. It’s definitely going down hill. There was a strong scent of drains and I noticed there was a lot of plug in type scents dotted around the place, clearly trying to mask the smell. The toilet was dirty and the floor was very wet. There is one very loud member of staff who I could hear swearing. Every time I have been recently, she’s so loud it’s actually distracting! I really hope things look up as it’s been my ‘local go to’ for years

My expectations were a bit too high. My baked potato was more waxy than fluffy so I won't order that again. The waitress was very nice and sympathetic when she learnt that the incorrect topping had been ordered for me. Better luck next time, eh?

Totally brilliant! Food, wines, service and music all really good and really good value for money. They deserve to be full every evening.
