A cafe retaurant in the Cotswolds has opened with its own on-site kitchen garden and a different feel during the day to the evening. Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden is now open at the Old Kennels at the Bathurst Estate on the edge of Cirencester.
During the morning and afternoon it is open daily for coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea or takeaway. But from Thursday to Saturday, it opens for elevated evening dining.
Head chef, Sam Idione, aims to showcase the finest Cotswolds artisan produce from within a 25-mile radius on his Modern British menus with creative French touches, alongside fruit and vegetables grown at its own on-site kitchen garden. A full bar serves seasonally changing gin cocktails, award-winning English and Old and New World wines and beers produced next door by Corinium Ales.

In the evenings, Roots + Seeds offers a restaurant experience with elevated service within its newly-built dining space with 54 covers. The single-storey building has larch-clad exterior walls, and inside, vaulted ceilings and large windows overlooking the kitchen garden and the surrounding parkland.
The cafe restaurant space is furnished in rustic industrial style with scrubbed farmhouse tables, oversized pendant lights and vintage garden tool displays. Within the dining area, a fun, interactive and enclosed space for younger children, and outside, two courtyards with al fresco dining for 30, access to a secure outdoor play area, and the Roots + Seeds on-site kitchen garden.
The Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden supplies fresh produce daily for the restaurant which is also used as a welcoming community space open to all on Saturdays for talks with Toby Baggott about growing your own, and for local school children, volunteers and charities during the week.
Families and dogs are welcome inside and out. Vegetarian and vegan dishes on every menu and a children’s’ menu is also available.
