The Golden Grove in Runnymede

Had a great afternoon celebrating my birthday. Cocktails were lovely, food was fantastic and had great fun playing shuffleboard and darts. Bar staff very attentive and we were the last to leave! Thoroughly recommend this place

Went for a roast thought we’d go out save cooking a roast at home. Big mistake. Brisket was tough, roast potatoes were jacket potatoes roasted. A roast should include roast potatoes not jackets. The veggie option was a veggie burger spit in half with gravy on the top, worst veggie roast I’ve ever had in 30 years. Complained and refused to pay. Such a shame as the golden grove is a nice pub just not for a Sunday roast. Won’t be back for a roast.

Food was absolutely shocking I had beef brisket which was more like the sole of my boot when I've had beef brisket is very tender and falls apart this didn't it never broke apart at all as for the staff they done the best what they could do in the situation they are working in but as a way of compensation they offered me mashed potato or chips with my roast dinner I don't think it goes very well together so keep pushing on and hopefully one day you will get where you need to be as it is a great venue for music on a Friday or Saturday a bit of tweaking in the kitchen is definitely needed but until then I will give it a big miss

Really nice secluded pub. Went in for a birthday meal for my daughter with my family. Food was brilliant. Can't recommend the pizzas more. Only a small play area out the back. Staff were really friendly and service was quick.

3 adults and 1 young child £200, not worth that money for pub food, rip off.

My husband, daughter and I came here with our dog at the weekend. My husband had a pizza and my daughter and I shared some small plates - chicken wings, macaroni cheese, garlic bread and salt and pepper squid. Nice meal, friendly staff. The pub is well presented inside and out.

Food wasn’t the best for the money but help was at hand from the staff, atmosphere and the comfort are good.

Squeezed us in for a table of 6 unreserved..Food and service was outstanding.

Great beer. You can see the pizza you’ve ordered sitting in the freezer 10 mins prior. Also, I’ve heard better bands busking in Staines high street than the band that played on the 7th September.

Absolutely fabulous. Great atmosphere. I love ice in my drinks, and when I asked for extra, a gent I think was the owner started entusastically telling me about his awesome ice machine... to which I agreed 😀 ... gotta appreciate a place that knows that the little stuff makes a big difference 😉 Nothing better than a perfectly chilled drink... plus beautiful outdoor area, with games to play too! I have tried many bars in the area... this is the best 👌

Such a great find. Feels like being on holiday!

What a find !! Pizzas are the best I have ever had. Staff were so friendly and helpful Other places can learn a lot from these guys. Will definitely be going back.

Great night on Saturday at the open air viewing of top gun. Service was great my only comment would be that they need to add to their menu the started and mains seem to be a little limited, otherwise lovely pub x

Decent food but over priced. 20 quid to play darts is crazy. The roasts are overall quite dry but the atmosphere is nice.

As a large family, we love The Golden Grove for our get togethers, esp during the summer months when we can enjoy the garden and the kids love the play area & open space. The food is great & the staff are friendly & welcoming. My elderly Mum has issues eating food, so we called ahead and they very kindly provided soup for her.

I went there for a work outing and was completely satisfied. The atmosphere captured immediately as the owner Steve is professional but welcoming at the same time and this is rare to find lately. I remember lots of laughter playing different games available like darts, shiny balls, shuffle board and the pizza was truly magnificent! WILL COME BACK VERY SOON Check for bookings on the website as it fills up quickly (might be the smell of fantabulous delicious food! From an Italian point of view this was the best pizza I had in a long time!!!! La migliore pizza che ho assaggiato (e divorato!) da molto tempo!! WOW TO THE BANDIT PIZZA!

Lovely pub and lively atmosphere

A proper hidden gem 💎 in Chertsey, Can not fault this pub in any way, Future patrons of this establishment please please do not spoil it

Had a really nice meal on bank holiday. Service was quick and friendly. The pulled pork roll was really tasty with the fries and coleslaw, my husband enjoyed the smoky ribs, Bottle of pinot rose was £25.

Take cash but only the correct money!!!!puts me off going again.

Great night at the grove, food as always amazing, best staff there could be pepperoni pizza 😍

Amazing evening spectacular food as usual ebony and Aaron so accommodating as per usual love it here !!

Great pub! Really good food and cold beer not to mention the outside section. I will definitely visit again.

We have been and used the new games really enjoyed. Friendly staff Had the pizza they were nice Was also here for the music but it was packed and loud so was not so enjoyable unfortunately

This pub is absolutely amazing. Perfect location, food is great and service was perfect ..... highly recommend 👌

Popped in for a drink, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Was looking for somewhere local that we had not eaten before and decided on this pub ... brilliant evening .. food was great and the live music gave the place a great atmosphere. The other thing worth mentioning is .. the girls serving were BRILLIANT.. constantly looking to see if you needed another drink or food .. a rare thing these days in restaurants

We traveled in from the U.S. and found this place charming and the food fantastic (even for our picky kids)! The staff was excellent and accommodating. Our favorite food was the cheesy garlic bread, along with the pizzas. There is shuffle board and darts in the back which were fun. I’m certain the patio would be great in the summer.

Enjoyed sat evening with friends at the grove . Best atmosphere 😁 in Chertsey at the moment on sat nights . Live band too . Good pint of beer and pizza I would recommend. Definitely worth a visit . John

What is a superb place to dine.Food is tasty staff are wonderful services excellent too.With live music every Saturday real night out treat with friends partners and families..

Cold, had to leave our coats on while eating. If you don't put any heating on when it's 3° outside, when do you put it on????

It's been a fair while since i've been to the Grove and not sure why but i haven't been until today. Last minute mothers day arrangements went downhill and decided to stop on by with the mere hopes of a table! So we show up and even though they was closed for bookings they still gave us a table which was extremely generous of them, the service was superb the two lady waiters were so smiley and engaging which gave a good vibe, the music was subtle and nice to listen too, the restaurent area was a nice casual vibe and the food was spectacular! Price was definitely worth it, leaving us all fully stuffed and in need of a nap! Pricing wise, for an adult it was around £20-£30 which is very suitable considering the quality and service and for a child it's about £7-15 and for the size it was very farely priced! On top of everything as it was Mothers Day they even brought some flowers over to my partner for her to take home which was a lovely gesture considering we didn't book! Definitely will be visiting again!

Went here for an after football meal with friends and family, enjoyable evening,the service by the two girls was perfect considering how busy the place was. The food was excellent,hot and tasty(loved the beef rib!) Drinks perfect. The shuffleboard session after went down well as well! Hopefully will return soon Thanks!

Great setting, pub garden, games and deals ongoing. Pizza's are also really good. Aaron, Ebs, Jake and the team are always very accommodating 👌🏼

Great burger and only £10 pounds on Wednesday's :) Music was a bit on the loud side but not too much.

First visit - and won’t be the last! The food, service and ambiance were top notch.

Excellent Sunday roast, smoked brisket was amazing and my friend's pork was equally good

My family went very recently for Sunday roast and it was really great. I had smoked beef brisket roast which was delicious. All four of us cleared our plates. Staff are really lovely and friendly too.

Went here after a walk at St Anne's Hill, had the pork belly Sunday roast. Pork belly has to be cooked well, and it was... fab with excellent crackling. Good chefs at this pub and great service 👍

After a lovely dog walk at St Anne’s hill we enjoyed a lovely Christmassy lunch here… showing our Aussie friends some old fashioned British festive vibes…. Thanks guys … just perfect

Wow, my family and I popped into the Golden Grove for an impromptu early dinner with our two children (6 & 3). This was the first time we’ve been since it was refurbished in August 2023 and we were both pleasantly surprised by the new Bandits Smokery menu. I had the beef rib and my wife had the pork ribs and it was all cooked to absolute perfection. The pork was so tender and melted in your mouth whilst the beef rib was just perfect. The atmosphere was great, the service was second to none and I genuinely cannot think of anything negative to say… although I did eat too much, but that’s on me! I will look forward to going back as soon as possible and find any excuse to visit there again. Thank you to all the staff, it was perfect x

AVOID!!!! absolutely awful pub, false advertisement… Disco? On new years eve! Over £120 spent on cabs from Shepperton to this joke of a pub! Legally checking definition of disco :)

Great staff and great food, the new refurb has really livened the place up as well!

Great dog friendly gastro pub. Great smoked ribs.

We recently hosted our engagement party at The Golden Grove and hired out the games area for the evening. Shuffleboard and darts were a big hit with our guests and the food was delicious. Ebony and her team done a great job to make sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend! It’s also a great stop off after a dog walk up St Anne’s hill!

Tasty food, friendly staff, nice location.

Unbelievably relaxed atmosphere, coupled with great food. Other plus points were the beer selection, great staff and how dog friendly they are:) will definitely be coming back soon

2nd time back to this newly refurbished pub. Fabulous friendly service and good pub food - pizzas, burgers and some salads. Lovely inside and out and situated in a beautiful spot.

First time here, will definitely come back. We very much enjoyed our starters, mains and desserts! Food was so delicious. Playground area for the kids was a bonus. To make it 5* I would suggest putting outdoor heaters on to other tables and not just the two cabins. Plus two swings next to the playground set for younger toddlers / babies. And parking is a small issue.

Such a great pub. We hired the games room shuffle board and darts. Kids loved it too and playing outside in in the woody bit and slide. Lovely staff and great time had by all thank you Food excellent !

It's lovely but the prices for the food are just too expensive

Lovely country pub, the area out the back is really beautiful with the trees and seating area. They have an on site smoker which is unbelievable, the food is really delicious. Staff were really good too. Such a great pub. Lots of parking out front, loads of seating options indoors and a nice heated patio too.

Just dropped by to use the gents here and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Feels like a really close community pub / restaurant with outdoor amenities / play area for kids. I didn’t eat.

Went to the golden grove on Sunday for my Mums 82nd birthday.. On arrival we struggled to get my Mum into the pub because the only door with an accessible wheel chair door had a private party going on and we were told to use another door but couldn’t as it had stairs.. It was lashing down and my Mum was getting upset, she actually has dementia and lives in the care home across the road.. We eventually got in and the party guests were very gracious and moved out of the way for us.. Our table was set up, three chairs and a space for the wheel chair.. The noise for a lunchtime pub/ restaurant was deafening.. They had a singer that was so loud that the people in the restaurant had to shout at each other.. I couldn’t even hear my Mum speak, so we had hardly any communication at all.. This was her first time in a restaurant this year, due to lots on medical issues.. We ordered starters and they came out but we had no side plates to put the food on and after we had all finished our main courses and desert, a member of staff asked us to move to another table as they’d made a mistake and gave us the wrong table, we were literally just finishing tea and then we were off.. We’d booked until 16.15 and it was set up for a wheelchair but still had 20mins to go..’ There was also a tall lady who was probably a manger, who ran everywhere like things were on fire, it created stress and wasn’t a peaceful dining experience at all… But the food was good, I had the smoked beef brisket Sunday lunch and it was tasty but no green veg, carrots or cauliflower at all the refurb of this pub/restaurant was amazing though and the garden is huge.. Just wish they’d have warned us about the private party, we booked online said about my Mums birthday and her being in a wheel chair.. I will probably return as I’ve had quite a few nice drinks in here but I’ll choose a more peaceful setting for my Mother next time…

This is one of my favorite places. Always very polite service, you can see that the people who work here- like being here. If you're looking for a dog-friendly place, this is perfect. Wonderful garden, delicious, nicely served food. 100% satisfied. I'm always happy to come back.

Comida absolutamente deliciosa, atendimento impecável, valea visita. A área externa é muito boa também.

Absolute gem of a pub - gorgeous inside & huge sunny garden, delicious food (and big portions), and attentive service. This pub has had a refurb and installed some fun pub games, but the biggest point we took away was value for money. We worked for an afternoon in the garden with free Wi-Fi and a lovely lunch - the food & drinks tasted like a premium experience, better than some very expensive central London venues. We’ll definitely be returning.

I recently visited after their refurb. They have done a fantastic job however there are still some area's that need to be worked on. The garden was busy when we arrived however there were some empty tables but a lot of the chairs outside had not been cleaned in a while and also the tables had not been wiped clean. (However saying that our empty glasses and plates were cleared away when we were on them BUT in the 4-5 hours we were there I didn't see an outdoor table be cleaned once...) The bar is very small which does make it difficult to get a drink as the team are clearly struggling to work at a fast pace with such little room. The queue did go back into the restaurant and could be waiting up to 5-10 minutes. I didn't understand why table service was only for part of the restaurant when there was no one inside, surely reduce the queue inside and do table service outside? Onto the food, we ordered at the bar and our food came but we had to wait for cutlery to arrive as this was not done before. I tried the newly added, smoked pork ribs which honestly did fall off the bone and were tasty but need's more sauce. It would be good to add a pot of a hot smokey bbq glaze on the side to add as you make your way through. The burger as always was great! All in all, i think it's going to be a really positive addition to chertsey pub's but little things like the above in the first few weeks of re-opening are so important and hopefully can be resolved as the Red Lion in Shepperton is great. Will be back and you should try it if you haven't!

Lovely pub. Service impeccable. They've only just reopened so menu is still being worked on. We had prawn chorizo skewers and pizza. Very nice. Was a little on pricey side. Shuffleboard/darts 20p/h. Would definitely return.

Proud to be able to call the Golden Grove my local! Great people, atmosphere, food and fun! Lovely refurb! Can’t recommend it enough! 😎

Visited this quaint nice place today with my cousins and family. Super Amazing Food. Lovely Staff. Shae was very courteous, polite and friendly. She is brilliant. I shall definitely visit again.

Bang average. Sorry wanted to enjoy as was eagerly awaiting thev*upgrade" but charging top gastro pub prices for limited and substandard food. Small portions. Terrible menu. Greek salad of one leaf. They better improve quick to justify their prices or they will go to the wall. Ignore the high ratings as they must be false.

I love our local pub. Great staff, they are super helpful and professional. The food is delicious and we love the chicken wings!

Visited the newly refurbished grove, new entrance through the left hand shed. Looks great inside and outside and service was very friendly and helpful. Drinks selection is good with lots of beer choices on tap. Food menu is limited currently but will be added to in due time, they have nibbles, pizza and burgers. They also offer vegan options and we tried the vegan pizza, which was tasty. Inside they have a games section, with shuffleboard, darts and kids play area (outside). Felt cosy and comfortable inside, we sat outside initially but it gets a bit colder in the evening. The pub doesn't get any evening sunshine but has lighting and a couple of cabins.

Four of us visited for the first time since this place reopened. Wow, what a transformation! Beautifully decorated and furnished throughout. We pre booked the new attraction, a shuffleboard table, for early evening, @ £20 per hour. Really great competitive fun! Great selection of draft beers and lagers. Well stocked bar and nice choice of wines, spirits, and freshly brewed hot drinks. Moved outside to the very comfortable and nicely lit garden restaurant bar. We ordered 2 freshly baked pizzas, which were cooked in a pizza oven and were really tasty and perfectly cooked, and 2 smoked chicken caesar salads, again really tasty + fab skinny fries again perfectly cooked. We were warmly greeted on arrival, thanked on departure, and looked after with smiling efficiency throughout our 2½ hour stay. We will definitely be back soon. Well done to the Golden Grove team. An excellent value for money service experience!

The food was incredible, the kitchen staff were so busy and still took time to speak when complimenting the food. Jake, our waiter, was so professional and polite, all of the staff were in fact, from the moment we walked in. Couldn’t be happier, they were all amazing. Run don’t walk!

Excellent. As a head chef myself ,l recommend this place for food

Nice friendly staff, good food but a little pricey

Lovely staff. Wonderful experience

Brilliant place and excellent food 👌

Really nice atmosphere. Lovely burgers although small menu choice but fine for us.

A beautiful country pub in the most gorgeous setting. Lovely staff, lovely food and drink, pretty garden and a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Food was excellent! Staff very friendly, well worth a visit.

Amazing food and service, as always the staff were impeccable and so friendly. A few weeks ago we had Sunday lunch, which was gorgeous, from the starters of prawns to the roast beef, it was beautiful. Dinner this evening was mouth wateringly delicious. We ordered the sticky beef and the sausage and mash, neither disappointed, it really was stunning 💕 Highly recommend the Golden Grove, its a little gem, thank you to the staff and chef for a wonderful evening, see you again soon xxx #weloveasnug 💓

Great food great service ,nice surroundings

Lovely pub with good beer selection (Beavertown) and lovely garden. Food is good but overpriced.

We went for the interesting menu Only to be told the it is only pizza on Thursday

Fantastic outdoor space for families or grownups. Such friendly ladies as waiting staff too xx

Nice garden and great that they have 0% beer on tap. Food a little pricey.

Great atmosphere,great afternoon with Treehouse Fire gig!

Very expensive for reasonable food

Really excellent Sunday lunch. Chicken wings were an excellent surprise!

I went to this pub on a sunny Saturday afternoon and I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been treated so well in a pub! The staff are just lovely and nothing is too much trouble. It was a very hot afternoon and they bent over backwards to make sure we were comfortable and had plenty of shade. I had the Chicken Caesar Salad - it was enormous and would have fed at least 3 people, so another time I think I'd go for the starter size. But it was really fresh and tasty. Great atmosphere - people of all ages (and lots of lovely dogs!) and loads of space for kids to run around. I'll definitely be back.

Beautiful setting really good staff food was amazing

This is a beautiful pub. We often go here at a weekend with the family and the kids love it. The food is perfect and so tasty. We recently had a party here and they were fantastic. Completely stress free, food was amazing and the staff were all very professional. Can’t recommend enough!!!

Had a fantastic birthday party there. Food and service was great. Nice outdoor perfect for summer.

Good service. fair prices. Dog friendly.

Geweldige lokatie, sfeervol, heerlijk gegeten. Was een mooi feest!!

Friendly atmosphere with great food

Lovely place forgot about this little gem. Will go again

Popped in for after dinner drinks, very friendly staff! Fin made the best espresso martini.🍸

A lovely pub. Great staff. We had pizzas from the pizza van.

The best pub in the area! Great live music 👌

Very limited menu, not much for kids to eat. Only had 2 adult meals and 2 kids meal, 2 drinks and cost £60. No starter or pudding. Thought this was quite steep for what we had. Nice pub otherwise with play area in the garden.

A lovely pub serving some delicious food. Turned up on a bank holiday monday without booking but pleasantly surprised to get a table for lunch. The staff serving were good also. Hope to return again soon.

Nicest pub in the area, both for food and drinks.

Sad to be giving 2 stars as I used to love coming to this place but it seems it's gone quite bad. I had to wait a while for my roast dinner which the waiter apologised for but when I got it there was part of a grape vine in my Yorkshire pudding and a hair in my mash. I had to send it back cause it put me off eating it. Luckily we didn't have to pay for that dish. My children then got two chocolate brownies for dessert and the brownie was rock hard. Plates weren't taken before dessert either. Love the location and grounds but won't be coming back for food unless it improves.

As this is our local we go quite often but it’s been the first time this year. Glad to see the plastic baskets have gone but what ever they have done to the chips, please change back - under cooked, flavourless, floppy chips. The scampi and chips was like something from Little Chef and not a gastro pub! The service and atmosphere was great but the food was disappointing ! Hopefully it was a one off!!

Good food - fun vibe. Cosy inside. Not so great service.

Lovely food. Service was a little slow for a group with 3 hangry threenager!!
