Always a pleasant welcome and atmosphere. The coffee is very good as is the tea. Had Espresso, it was only half warm but was good quality.

We used Grounded to supply some serving platters for an event at home we hosted. Lauren and her team were excellent at responding and sorting everything out to do with questions and paperwork. On the day she turned up exactly when she said she would and the food not only looked phenomenal but it tasted even better. Can't recommend them enough if you need an event catered for.

The sky is no limit for Ground in Hayes. Calm efficient service, a great recommendation of a flat white with amaretto, an absolute game changer, while I waited for me friend. Well though through presentation and a nice buzzy but quiet atmosphere. S Delicious food choices and as a coffee head they cracked that bean too. Top marks for the cohesion and funky team at Ground see you at my next long lunch break.

Great coffee and good food. Would be nice to see a few more vegan items on the menu (but appreciate that’s just my personal preference). The staff are always really friendly and they always make my young child feel welcome. They also do £1 children’s food during school holidays which is great.

First time here, and turned out to be a good find. Lovely Sourdough sandwiches, and warm banana bread with honey and butter on the side, was excellent. Definitely give it a go if you haven't tried it yet.
