New dining hub and kitchen garden for Cirencester

A brand new dining hub, Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden, will be opening in Cirencester in the spring.

It will be located at The Old Kennels in Cirencester Park (the Bathurst Estate) and is brought to the town by the team behind The Scenic Supper.

Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden will offer a relaxed and friendly place serving up coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea or takeaway daily, and dinner from Thursday to Saturday.

With sustainability at its heart, The Roots + Seeds Kitchen Garden menus will showcase some of the finest Cotswolds artisan produce from within a 25-mile radius, alongside fruit and vegetables grown in its own, on-site kitchen garden.

Toby Baggott, Roots + Seeds founder, said: "Climate change, food miles and sustainability are at the forefront of our minds, so growing our own food over a weekly cycle, with daily changing specials, will help us achieve our goal of creating a low to zero food waste restaurant."

Head chef, Sam Idione's, menus will showcase fresh, home-grown and local artisan produce, including locally reared beef, lamb, pork and poultry, game from the Bathurst Estate and its neighbours, and fresh fish and seafood delivered daily from Brixham in Devon.

Dinner is served in the main restaurant Thursday to Saturday and will offer a more sophisticated dining experience, to offer a new dining destination for Cirencester.

Once the Bathurst family's foxhound kennels and stables, Roots + Seeds café occupies a light-filled space with vaulted ceilings and large windows overlooking the kitchen garden.

There is a separate children's room, full of books and arts and crafts equipment. Two courtyards provide dining spaces, with access to a new outdoor children's play area and the kitchen garden.

Two of the Scenic Supper's glasshouses, previously located at Todenham Manor Farm, will be re-sited in the Roots + Seeds kitchen garden, offering somewhere to sit with a coffee or take out.

Roots + Seeds will also have a full bar with award-winning, artisan King Stone gin made by Roots + Seeds founder, Sam Lawson-King, along with beers produced next door by Corinium Ales.

As well as supplying fresh produce for the restaurant, the Kitchen Garden will be used as a welcoming community space to encourage local school children to grow food in an interactive environment, and for volunteers and those from mental health charities to come together.

On Saturdays, Toby Baggott, a passionate gardener, will be in the Kitchen Garden to talk to visitors about all aspects of growing food.
