Great ambience, service and proximity to city attractions (we went to Theatre Royal) and the food was good but it was not hot when it reached us. I think that the relatively shortened 'breakfast' menu meant that some of the more usual choices were not coming out 'cooked to order'. A pity as everything else about 'The Grounds' is great.

We ordered coffees which were great and breakfast eggs benedict which were lovely, but the shukshuka was not good, It was not thick enough and it was very dry and overcooked. The flavour was good but should not have been served. It could have been a one off, but I would go back and try again if i was in the area.
