Nice pub with a variety of seating options. Youngs pubs ranges and food so not one for bargain hunters

Had a great lunch on New Year’s Eve as a group of ten. We’d eaten Sunday lunch here before (it is brilliant), this time we had the main menu - food was great, the burger was excellent, fish and chips huge and the sticky toffee pudding a real hit. The staff were welcoming, attentive and all round lovely. The pub was busy, with a couple of roaring fires to add to the atmosphere. This is a great pub, we’ll be back again.

My partner and I have always loved The Spring Grove for Sunday roasts and eagerly anticipate every visit. As big roast enthusiasts, we’ve tried many, but nothing ever compared to The Spring Grove—until yesterday. Unfortunately, we were heartbroken to notice a decline in quality. The chicken, once beautifully stuffed and wrapped in pancetta, has been replaced with plain chicken. The delicious vegetable purée has been swapped for basic cabbage and peas, and we were given just two potatoes each—disappointing for the price. We know that they change the menus between seasons, but it seems to have been made more basic this winter. The atmosphere also felt off, with a nearby group of children climbing barefoot on furniture, which was distracting and unhygienic. While we understand it’s a family-friendly venue, some gentle intervention from staff to maintain a respectful environment would have made a big difference as these kids were definitely old enough to be wearing shoes and it's not nice to see their feet where people eat! That being said, staff are always stretched on a Sunday so they took a little while to give us the bill. As a nice touch they took our drinks off the final bill which was very kind of them as they are always so nice and hospitable. Another reason I am so sad to have to write this review! We’re sharing this feedback out of love for The Spring Grove, in hopes it can return to its former glory. We’d be so sad to stop coming to what has always been a favourite spot.

I had the best leaving party at The Spring Grove in Kingston, which accommodated all 90 of us comfortably. From the off, Jack and the team were really helpful with planning the event - great communication and all the right information being given so we knew what to expect on the night. The staff were amazing on the night too - so friendly and welcoming to everyone and it really made the night special. We ordered platters of food which catered to all dietary requirements (everyone was saying how delicious the food was) and the venue itself was homely, well designed and perfectly suited the theme of my party. I was even able to put up a few decorations and move the tables to personalise the space. Massive thanks to the team, it was a party I will always remember!

Jack and the team hosted my birthday party last weekend. The booking process and communication was seamless, the advice for food was spot on, the food itself was delicious and the service was excellent. I hosted 60 people in the area at the back and everyone has said how great the venue was. Highly recommend the Spring Grove if you are looking for a place, and thanks again to Jack and his team - Nothing was too much trouble .

This place really has the wow factor. Came up to London to catch up with an old school friend of mine, to chew the fat and enjoy a few drinks - generally decompress from a busy work week. Fantastic experience; talked through each beer, whilst being looked after with friendly and humorous staff. To be honest I was made to feel like this was my local! Ended up staying far longer than expected and didn’t want to leave. Ps. Recommend a sausage roll, woof!

This was my first visit to the Spring Grove, no doubt, being local, I will call again. The clientele was an eclectic mix: parents with children in tow, pensioners who will be unaffected by the loss of fuel allowance and people who wear woolly hats indoors, vote Lib Dem but tell everyone they voted Green. The decor is smart and varies as you move through the pub. The seating inside is predominantly leather, and the outside offers wooden benches. The garden has some well-appointed sheds/booths at the bottom. I presume that pets are welcome, outside at least. The bar had a good selection on offer, the wine was reasonably priced, I ordered a bottle though drinking by the glass would not have been much more expensive. I didn't have a meal there however I did order the snack option, Sourdough and Caerphilly Cheese the Gorwydd variety. Being a native of said town I thought my partner should try this posher version of the product that made my home town sort of famous. To be fair the barman did say that it wasn't really a big enough portion to share but c'mon lol mice have give their lives for larger portions. I understand that to a Londoner the provinces would appear to be savage, dangerous places where cheesemongers have to battle nationalist hordes, vicious footpads and highwaymen but this particular brand of Caerphilly Cheese is produced in North Somerset! A nice pub, I would suggest a visit but bring your own cheese.

We had a very enjoyable meal at The Spring Grove, choosing typical Pub grub - sausage and mash and ham, egg and chips. The food was well prepared and presented and enjoyed by all. The ham in the ham, egg and chips turned out to be a very substantial ham hock that my friend enjoyed very much. The servers were attentive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. We would return again.

I decided to get out of the bussle of Kingston today being a Saturday it's usually packed. Go to the Spring Grove I thought quite and peaceful. It didn't disappoint. This pub has been a main stay of our family for a long time. It's had its ups and downs the food hasn't been great. But today it did so where praise is due I'll give it. I had a pint and sausages n mash. And as a treat I had apple crumble with custard and pudding wine. Beautiful and tasty 😋 just what the doctor ordered.

The worst and most expensive sandwich I have had in a long time. The staff were extremely efficient and friendly but the sandwich was rubbish. I had 'Pitchfork cheddar and home made tomato jam'. It cost £9.50. The cheese wasn't fresh, neither was the white bread it came in ( slightly dry ) My friend had the roast beetroot sandwich and hers was equally as unappetising as mine. I couldn't recommend either of those sandwiches. Very poor.

Just had a weird experience at the Grove, an hour ago. I love this pub, but I have just walked in, stood at the beer pumps and watched the bar tender talk at the other end of the bar to the chef and a supplier for a full five minutes simply ignoring that a customer was waiting. I walked out and no one noticed…..

Excellent Pub. This is a really splendid pub, run by a young team of friendly and outgoing staff. Really welcoming. We were a mixed group of beer & wine drinkers, beers, Aperol’s, non-alcoholic beer drinkers & kids. Something for everybody, including milk for a toddler. It’s a substantial property with, evidently from the historic photos on the walls, a long history as a focal point for the area. Most of the original architectural features have been retained and so it’s a comfortable & charming presence. Out back there is an excellent pub garden. Wheelchair / pushchair accessible. The top zone of the garden is covered by a very healthy & productive vine which seems to love the location. Inside the walls have some eclectic & really interesting art & photos. Genuinely worth a look. And in between the art are some decent TV’s unobtrusively showing, during my visit, the Olympics. All in all, a very happy & comfortably pub. First class.

Sadly if you have booked the Christmas meal you'll be very disappointed. Starters Every bruschetta starter was soggy obviously left on the side waiting for other starters to go out or preprepared. The mushroom topping one was served luke warm. Ate it as hungry Mains The pork was disgusting. The skin was was like tough leather with absolutely no crisp. The mash lumpy and the Brussels broke rules that even al dente would question and cold. Everyone who ordered it left 80% of the food on their plates and only 2 people out of 12 chose to eat it. Turkey was OK and veg but potatoes didn't seem freshly roasted Veggie option served in oily pastry filled with squash. Looked unappealing and was uneaten Deserts Sticky toffee pudding was nice and cheese board which obviously didn't need cooking!! Serving staff very pleasant If you have booked for christmas menu I suggest you cancel it none of our party enjoyed it and will never go back for food which is a shame as its local to our office. Most main dish plates had over 70% of the food sent back uneaten
