Fantastic little cafe. Lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Plenty of bike parking and bowls for dogs at all outside tables. Food was delicious with a range of options for everyone.

Would personally recommend the onion bahji wrap but other choices look great too. Ice cream servings seem pricey but are very generously portioned.

the cafe is a great place to rest after you ride, loads of seating inside and out, the food is really nice with a range of cold sandwiches to hot sandwiches and hot cooked food, also hot and cold drinks all at a reasonable price

I hardly ever have a trip to Cannock Chase without stopping in for a brew and a bite to eat at Grounds cafe.
