bunch of grapes in Southwark

A charming and inconspicuous establishment that I discovered during my recent exploration of the area. I highly recommend that you visit this establishment and experience its offerings. The outdoor seating area at the rear of the establishment is particularly noteworthy.

Our waitress Emilija was fantastic and went out of her way to make sure all of us (including our dog!) were well looked after and very content!! Great job!!

Good Bar, next to The Shard. Nice terrace. Friendly Service.

Very jolly and cheerful place ❤️ I love the location, the beer, and the people who go there. It's such an authentic pub, my favorite in London 🍺

Went on a Thursday 1730-2100 and from start to finish the place was buzzing. Refreshing to see a pub so busy but with minimal wait time to be served by friendly staff because management ensured the number of staff was perfect. We ate upstairs after a drinks in the bar and James our server was great. Professional enough for us not left wanting and with good banter for a laugh. Just how a good barman/server should be but is hard to find these days. Great visit with everything just right. Will definitely be back and thoroughly recommend. Thanks James

The head bar man (jay?) was brilliant answered the phone late on a Monday night after my husband left his expensive glasses at the pub. Reassuring us that they would be kept in the safe until he can pick them up. 5 star service

Love this place for a drink but found ourselves here on a Sunday looking for a roast. I'm a vegetarian and had the wellington it was incredible my husband had the roast beef. Reasonably priced for london

Nice pub, close to the station, pleasant outdoor seating.

Fairly hectic after work bar. Large groups of shouty blokes rather off putting and the outdoor area that's so covered over it's basically inside had people smoking in it, which wasn't great. Suggest avoid. May become more charming on the weekend you hope.

Great pub, very busy but loads of staff. Fantastic area outside. Would recommend as a great lace to meet and greet.

Really nice venue, friendly staff, table service which is great when one is upstairs. Very nice vibe but a bit loud upstairs for the people I was with. Would definitely recommend going for a drink or three there!

Thank you, James! Great service and great Sunday roasts.

Good ales, location and great service. Old school pub just missing sawdust!!

Very helpful servers and the food was delicious

The Sunday Roast here is well below par. There were items missing from the plate, only 2 potatoes, over cooked meat and overall no love shown. I can say that the staff were very friendly and accommodating and the pub itself is a decent. Just give the roast a swerve...

Had a fab experience having a roast on a Sunday. Our sever (James) was great and made sure we had the best experience possible!

Me and my friends had a great lunch at the Bunch of Grapes last Sunday, after completing a charity Walk. We had booked but were late arriving, but still received a friendly + warm welcome. The food was delicious and we had really nice service, including some treats and water for the 2 dogs we had with us! We would defintiley book there again - highly recommend!

Getting served is tricky usually. Update: 7 years later and in on a Monday, things are much easier. Beer over £7.50 a pint btw

I visited on a busy Sunday lunch time and was received with good food and great service. When I arrived, there was only one staff at the bar at an almost fully seated pub. The friendly service was not at all compromised and my food order with request of extra chilli sauce was served fast. The gravy and the mini croquette was light, the beef was super tasty. The sitting area at the back yard was perfect to have a quiet reading space overlooking the shard against the sky. On my way out, another older female staff joint the young man at the bar. She went through extra trouble to fill my water bottle with warm water requested. (There was self service iced lemon water available on the side already). I am really grateful. In case the staff is reading this, the water was for my meds needing warm water to dissolve in. So thank you! Pub like this make my day sparkle ✨

Great place for a drink.. staff are great

Nice enough pub. Saw a mouse run up the wall

Very friendly! Nice ciders and beers on tap!

ate literally the worst roast of my life here yesterday. not only was it tiny and missing several of the components listed on the menu, but it made my brothers seriously ill. we inquired several times if they had a gluten free option safe for coeliacs and were assured by everyone it was fine and safe. WELL IT WASN’T, YOU POISONED 2 PEOPLE YESTERDAY. just turn people away if you can’t provide the service they’re asking for. i’m absolutely disgusted for every reason. the food genuinely would have tasted better if they pissed in it.

Lovely lively little pub , with a really cosy garden on two levels , nice lighting and tvs outside , busy place , friendly staff and great location to the shard

Staff asked for ID, but would not recognise my BRP, photo of passport, despite both already providing proof of age. And they were rude about this. I don’t think it takes this much effort to get a beer anywhere else. Absolute joke, will never come back here 🤡

Few drinks as part of a works get together. Very busy as expected near London bridge, good mixture of customers including tourists. Enjoyed visit but unlikely to return as there was only one female designated toilet, meaning at least 10 people waiting. Not sure if some toilets were out of action but needs sorting put.

Typical old london boozer, busy with people from nearby offices etc when I went. Quick service, very busy, pleasant enough

Beautiful Pub. We are from Australia and were looking for a place to have a drink. Home away from home! The staff were lovely and we decided to have some dinner as we were enjoying the atmosphere . Absolutely 10/10 meal compliments to the chef, beautiful meal well done guys.

Manager Magda served us , she was brilliant . Great service . Food was really good, definitely will come back !

£45 for 4 drinks, I know it's london but that's obscene

Second time that I've been here this week. I had haddock and chips and it was delicious. The waitress was very friendly and even though she was very busy she still took the time to make us feel welcome. This pub is a great find and I'm going to come here again for sure.

Food was nasty, not what we ordered but after waiting an hour we were very hungry. The wine was perfect. We won't be going back unless it's for a bowl of chips 🍟 they look nice

First time here for Sunday lunch. I had the vegan option as it was excellent. Had the apple and rhubarb crumble for desert and it was yummy. We sat in the garden and it was very comfortable and relaxed. Our waitress was very friendly and made us feel welcome. It was my first time here and definitely not my last.

Went here before a brunch was a nice friendly pub old fashioned feel reasonably priced menu

Great place for both food and drinks. Staff seems to be happy and very helpful. We had smashed burger and burrata which were just delicious. Nice beer garden too.

Went in here for a quick bite and had a really good time. Good and relaxed atmosphere in a very busy area of London. Do recommend.

Nice tidy pub , not far from the Borough Market. Traditional decore . Seating up stairs as well. Good menu. Good sausage and mash. £17 per person. Nice though.

I booked dinner late in the evening so decided to have a drink somewhere near the restaurant and came across this place. I had a pint of Guinness and stayed for about an hour. I was here Friday evening and it was heaving with people so it's really popular. Bunch of grapes is in the prime location of London bridge so if you're in the area, come to this lovely pub 😊

Such a shame we had a bad experience - the staff were unapproachable and the pub was inaccessible. One of our friends was in a high leg cast and crutches and there was nowhere for her to easily sit down !!! It’s 2024, we’re more inclusive now or at least we’re trying to be. Get with the times :/

Lovely pub with a good selection of beer. Great location and a decent outside space. Staff are friendly and service is great.

Great pub and a nice temperature on a hot day. Music too loud. James, who served us, was an absolute star! Our dog, Arthur, was also really grateful for the snack!

James was excellent, friendly and do anything to help with food. Nice pub great sausage. Good beer, waffling now to make up 100 words Best Arthur

Great service from James. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment.

Stopped in for a quick drink while waiting on a table to become available at a nearby restaurant. The staff were friendly and full of joy. Good selection of drinks, and prices are not too bad considering it's central London. I imagine it gets very busy on a Friday evening with everyone emptying out of the nearby offices.

All the staff are lovely and the food and drinks great, they even played a special song for us when asked

Excellent beer, great atmosphere, good location. Even though it was pretty busy during our visit, we were served immediately.

Great pub, but the Guinness was diabolical

Met up with a couple of pals to watch the Euros. Had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we all chowed down on an excellent burger whilst watching Netherlands v France. Returning on 5 July with a (hopefully) larger group. Looking forward to it!

Can't even walk on the pavement!!! Your customers taking the whole massive pavement and forcing pedestrians to use the street. Shame of you.

Typical English pub with a wide range of beers. It has a very cozy interior patio where we could have a few beers and ended up having dinner. Reasonable prices for London, both for drinks and food. The fish and chips are a large portion, crunchy and accompanied with a good portion of potatoes. The burger is a little smaller, but well made and also served with potatoes. Friendly and attentive waiters. recommendable

Had lunch upstairs with group of work colleagues. Great food and service

Stayed at the shard and checked out the bunch of grapes on line and after reading the reviews whilst I was still at home before travelling to to the shangri la I booked a table.we were not disappointed everything about the place was 5 star service food and the surroundings.well done .only wish we had a bunch of grapes in reading

James thanks for taking such good care of us. You are the best! X

Fantastic pub, a hidden gem in London Bridge, high ceilings, fabulous interior, lots of character and THANK YOU VERY MUCH to the amazing James for TOP service with a smile. Very professional. We’ll be visiting again soon. Best wishes

Proper pub. Great food especially Sunday Roast beef which both me and my friend had. Superb service and atmosphere. We went back there after we got to know this nice Polish lady, Magdalena.

Nice place for food when we went there on Sunday for Sunday Roast. Place was very busy but managed it well, and waiting time was reasonable with no complaints from our part. Really good gravy and soft as butter beef. We will definitely book again for future Sunday roast meetings.

Fantastic little pub, service and food was great, whole family loved it. Well look after by a charming young Lady. Will be visiting again soon

Fantastic proper little pub - service and food was great whole family loved it. Well look after by a charming young lady . Will be visiting again.

Beautiful small pub and secret beer garden in London Bridge. Great music, delicious food,cold drinks and free tan hot summer day!!

Marked down food as menu choice was limited after a busy day but James was fab 😊 good music!!

Extremely Rude staff. The duty manager she was extremely rude. Bad judgement for person who being extremely drunk this is what she explain to me... I went in the same area having a drink. They told me I was fine and I'm not drunk at all. Regarding the venue I am extremely offended by the time waiting for drink and I'm refuse badly whit no manner for hospitality service.

Unfortunately I had a terrible experience here with a really aggressive bar tender. He very quickly got mad at me for not specifying exactly which type of Rose wine I wanted, so I apologised and said 'sorry just house Rose' to which he replied 'see it's not that hard is it' and when I asked if I could add another drink to my order he snapped 'anything else you want to tell me?'. He also threatened that if I'd added anything else to my order after that he would have 'charged me double'. He had a really angry and aggressive attitude throughout the entire interaction. This kind of behaviour is totally out of order and I think he should pick on someone his own size rather than young women to take his anger out on his shift. Such a shame as aside from that Bunch of Grapes is a gem of a place. Best be careful not to let that become ruined by unprofessional staff.

Booked Sunday lunch at 24hrs notice (which was a surprise as most pubs booked quite a long way in advance). First challenge, not having been before, was finding out that dining room is upstairs as it's not very obvious. Quite a big dining room with wood-panelled walls painted in a traditional dark colour. Nobody to greet us however there was a "waiting for..." reservation sign on our table so we sat down and waited (only one other table was occupied). It was about 10mins before our waitress came in to take our order. I ordered the beef Sunday roast and wife ordered chicken escalope with tabbouleh. The roast was a solid 7/10, only let down by the roast potatoes which had no crunchy outer coating and the fact that watery gravy had been poured over everything (would have preferred a separate dish with gravy). Tabbouleh is traditionally bulgar wheat, onion, tomato and parsley but we were served giant couscous with parsley so a disappointing attempt which was a bit bland. For dessert I ordered the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce and ice cream and was informed that as they didn't have and salted caramel sauce they would give me extra ice cream. Unfortunately, when you microwave sticky toffee pudding without any sauce it turned into a rubber brick..😟 Only an average rating overall, however I would still recommend this pub as we had a very pleasant afternoon without any loud music or other noisy diners.

Best Fish and Chips in the area!

Good place for a quick pint before you jump on the train. Very busy on Thursdays.

Perfect! Went for a bite to eat with my friend. Very chatty and smiley lady called Magda served us. Beer garden is fantastic but gets busy at times. Enjoyed few beers and a bite to eat. Thank you again. We’ll be back.

Beautiful gem in London Bridge. Great music, atmosphere and the best pint of Guinness and great selection of ales in Central London

Group of family and friends on a day out. We stopped at this gorgeous pub with amazing backyard. Service was great, Emily looked after us amazingly and was very helpful. The food was delicious and drinks very nice. Loved the Spritz menu ona a nice sunny day with a view of a shard

James was fantastic and looked after our dog with treats and water.

James was an amazing server! Great place with such friendly service :)

Historical pub being there from 1644. Duck was excellent as well as the soups. Pies not so tasty, still quite interesting. Overall impression is very good although it is overpriced.

The service was quick and the staff were lovely even though the pub was very busy. We sat upstairs which was good as we all wanted to chat and this area was a lot quieter than downstairs. Good pint of Guinness.

Noisy, crowded, seating difficult to find

Great location, just near London Bridge Station. Service and staff are good. It can get very busy and loud, so in our case we couldn't even have a conversation.

The Bunch of Grapes is a great spot just down the road from the Shard. My friend and I have been for pre-dinner drinks there before, and on Good Friday, decided to try the food at the pub. And I'll happily return. You can order your food via the Youngs app, and it comes to your table. We had booked, but the team couldn't find our booking, so after a drink in the sheltered garden, we found a nice table upstairs to the pub. We ordered a ploughman's lunch, fries, and chicken wings. It was more than enough for two people! We struggled. And with the tip, it was about £40. Obviously, a round for 2 people is generally around £12/14, but that's London for you. So, great food, a great choice of beer, and a nice venue. The staff could be a bit more polite. The two women serving on Friday must have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed, as it really seemed that they didn't want to be there, let alone serve people.

Great service and amazing hospitality from Anup, Mario and Ashma! Will definitely be back!

Great country feel but only 2 min walk from train station/town centre. Nice staff and good service 👍

Daria - always fantastic service. Highly recommend

Comfy pub near the pub. Good to sit down and have a few drinks with friends.

Larger area out the back than expected, but it's for the smokers.

Great place for a drink unfortunately wet when we visited so unable to sit outside

Great happy pub with table service upstairs. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Service can be a little slow at times, especially after work, it is, a lovely pub tho and hidden gem in London Bridge. Always great for meeting and going on somewhere else.

We had dinner there last weekend and, although they had had an incident at the door and it was full of people, the service was pretty good. Great food, fast and great value for money.

Humas was a watery slop on a plate.. Hubby's burger was soaking in grease.. the bun fell apart with the grease Awful

Can be very busy at peak times.

Lucy was an amazing server!! Will definitely be back again soon :)

Really cute place in a great location. Great selection of wines and the customer service is perfect!

Gorgeous pub in the heart of London Bridge. It has an upstairs mostly for dining, and two different areas. Really busy over the weekends and after work on weekdays. The only downside is that they only have 1 single female toilets! So queues are always terrible.

Lovely pub and lovely staff! Hard to find such pleasant people like Annie!

Stopped in for a brief pint. Interesting layout, friendly service. Bit expensive though.

Really love this pub. Has a great atmosphere and loads of character. Had a great experience the last time we were there, however, on this occasion, the food and service let the side down. Chicken escalope was dry as a bone and the burger was so small, patties very thin considering the price of £17.50. It was shrove Tuesday and we were given pancakes as a good gesture which we thought was really lovely, but unfortunately the pancakes were stale and dry and tasteless. Food needs a bit of work, but the pub itself is a great after work boozer.

We went group of friends for a meeting travelling from different countries straightaway from airports. It was lovely. We looked at open pub at late hour around 10:30pm. Found this pub at google maps as a place that is open till midnight. Went straight there and it was lovely! I really liked staff, friendly bunch of guys, all beautiful stylish and smiling people even right at the end of their shifts. Also music, don’t know who is responsible for the music but it was right up my taste☺️ We were drinking Peroni beer, a pint £7. They also were nice enough to give us a plastic cups at closing time to take our last drinks with us outside.

Great pub...very busy, but attentive, happy, helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend...thanks 😄

Decent pub food great service and staff.

Caratteristico locale londinese, ottimo per mangiare carne , ritorneremo top

Staff were friendly but inside was so busy and crowded. Music was too loud.

Great atmosphere and the food was tasty, but god damn the drinks are expensive here!! A double G&T was over £15 and a Guinness was £7, much more expensive than others pubs just around the corner. Great atmosphere but the price is going to stop me from coming back.
