   Food was very disappointing. There were 4 of us, 2 Ordered whitebait for starter, they had about 3 bits of whitebait but mostly squid which for the price was terrible with a watercress garnish that was wilted and had seen a better day. All of us us then had roast dinners. 3 chicken and one beef. The gravy was like water, potatoes weren’t roasted, they tasted boiled and had no crispyness to them. Bread sauce was cold, pig in blanket was anaemic and looked like it had t even been cooked, the same for the stuffing, pale white and definitely not roasted. The only part that was ok was the roast carrots and the Yorkshire pudding. With the whole dimmer tasting like it hadn’t been seasoned. The serving staff were lovely however and tried their best to accommodate but I would never eat here again. We were out for a birthday lunch day so it ruined the day.

   Hi HelenS. We are sorry that your experience with us was poor, this certainly isn't the level we set out to achieve or usually deliver as I hope you can see by the majority positive reviews we receive. The Chef was very disappointed to receive your feedback & every diner was asked about their experience & the overriding message was that it was well received and enjoyed. We are so very sorry your meals did not meet the same standard, your feedback will be used to help us improve. Team Grove

   Disappointed with my vegan roast dinner. The Wellington tasted like it had some kind of spice in it, the gravy was far too watery. It was super loud with big groups in both corners and us in the middle

   Hi Sammy. We are sorry you did not enjoy your chosen meal. There will be seasoning in the wellington to enhance the flavour but nothing more than that. Apologies the gravy was not to your liking. Unfortunately there is little we can do about the other large bookings in the dining room at the same time, Sunday is a very popular and busy time for us. We would have happily moved you to a table better suited to you if you had asked, sorry. Team Grove info@thegrovekt6.co.uk 02083991662

   Food was really bad (very small portions, very simple food like that cooked by a first year undergraduate who is cooking for themselves for the first time). And therefore very overpriced. Do not recommend at all.

   Hi SpBelse. We are sorry that your experience with us was poor, this certainly isn't the level we set out to achieve or would usually deliver as I hope you can see by the majority positive reviews we receive. It is very difficult for us to make this right after the event, had something been said at the time we would have done our utmost to put this right there and then. Rest assured your feedback has been passed to the kitchen team. Team Grove info@thegrovekt6.co.uk 02083991662

   I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at The Grove pub in Surbition and I must say it was an absolute delight. The cozy atmosphere combined with friendly staff made for a memorable experience. The pub meal itself was truly outstanding. The dish I ordered, sea bass, was a perfect balance of flavours and textures. Each bite was a delightful combination of savory and mouthwatering goodness. The portion size was generous, leaving me completely satisfied. I highly recommend this pub to anyone in search of a delicious meal accompanied by a warm and inviting ambiance.

   I'm sure I've had decent meals in the grove before but I really unimpressed with the cauliflower curry, undercooked veg in really large pieces, not chopped up or mixed into the sauce and and not much curry sauce

   Booked last minute. Long wait for food. One wrong main arrived- they fixed that quickly. Two of us ordered sea bass with chorizo, spinach and new potatoes. No chorizo and no spinach. Disappointing.

    The second time in a month I’ve enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Grove. I wanted to go back because 1) the first time was so good, and 2) I wanted to make sure it was as good as i remembered. It was, really consistent and equally tasty. I’ll be back.
