The Grocer in Tower Hamlets

Went in on Thursday evening with Some friends visiting me in London. Ari was really wonderful, we felt very welcomed. What can I say? Took the time to explain some local beers for my friends and I to try and overall has great service! Very charming, will be back when my family visit for sure!

We had a brilliant light lunch here on Saturday - we had two of the sharing boards, both absolutely delicious, but the highlight was the staff - so friendly and went above and beyond to help us celebrate one of our party’s special birthday even though we hadn’t said in advance. Totally recommend. Thank you!

ARI provided an excellent service I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone the food is exceptional. We enjoyed it immensely. Thank you very much

Came here for a few drinks after work , lovely vibe around the place and great service , especially from Kelsey she made sure we were well looked after . I am definitely going to return🥰🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had the chicken and leak pie and omg it’s amazing! Customer service is spectacular and the vibes are great!

Great bar staff and service from Shoebob, he made us feel very welcome.

The short ribs were the worst i have ever had in my entire life, they say ribs but its a lie its all lie they were dry and we are a couple of two and they brought us three of them, i mean really. Sort it out

Even outside we felt comfortable with the heaters on. Atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. The server offered us an open table indoors when we ordered dessert, which was added to our experience.

Keisey was taking care of us today and she was super fast, friendly and helpful. Thank you sincerely 🙏🏻🙏🏻 we will be back :)

Ari was accommodating and made sure we got the best deals we could! Will defo be coming back!

Great night, lovely place. Kelsey was super nice and helpful.

Great spot to meet with friends. I can see it being quite popular on the sunnier days.

Very disappointed that service charge was added to our bill for table of 2 when clearly stated on the menu that it's on tables of 4 or more, I'm aware I could have asked for it to be removed but it would have been very awkward in a busy restaurant. I have done as requested and sent a copy of the receipt last Saturday but you've not contacted me or done anything to rectify the issue, very disappointing

Excelente servicio - una bienvenida muy amable y cálida. El personal no podría haber sido más servicial. Buena elección de comida y bebida. Varias personas que tenían el pastel eran muy cumplidos. Buena relación calidad-precio en general. Ubicación conveniente. Todos los asistentes ( 10 ) dijeron que el lugar era una gran elección. Sin duda volveremos.

Comida increíble, servicio rápido, Kelsey dio recomendaciones increíbles y fue muy amable y servicial. Volveré de nuevo.

Visted para un sándwich y bebidas con mi marido, gran ubicación con mucho que ver. Un poco decepcionado en varios aspectos, mis maridos sandwich contenía mayonesa de mostaza, él odia la mostaza, pero no lo dijo en el menú. Mi sándwich estaba muy duro y crujiente en un pedazo de pan, ¡creo que había estado por ahí un tiempo! Pero lo más decepcionante fue que el menú dice claramente 12. 5% de cargo por servicio en mesas de 4 o más, pero se puso en la nuestra para 2 personas. Sé que podría haberme negado a pagar esto pero habría sido vergonzoso pedir que me quitaran algo cuando claramente no debería haber estado ahí para empezar. No volveríamos por las razones anteriores.

Absolutely brilliant! The food was great and reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful and it’s even dog friendly. Great place.

Dannika was so helpful, all staff were great. Food and drinks really good too

Lady was so rude asked us if we couldn’t see the sign before dismissing us from sitting outside even tho there was no one outside the empty pub

Once again, Dannika was the perfect host for my mates and I. Being all former City workers, the Grocer has become our go to place. Nice to be recognised as a ‘regular’ and the service is friendly and very efficient. Burgers &/ or fish and chips are recommended. We’ll be back again soon.

My son and I were tourists wandering around the market on a quiet weekday a couple of weeks ago and decided to stop here for lunch. All we had were the fish and chips but wow - delicious. Small praise perhaps because it was the only time we had that dish while in London but we enjoyed it immensely. Simple food done perfectly. Service was friendly quick and terrific.

Pub in the market. Decent range of cask beers and plenty of choice for other drinks. In and outside seating. U January 2025 - pleasant pub, insufficient cask beers. Nice atmosphere.

Had the best margarita!!!! I've tried a fair few but this was stand out. Great vibe, good service and enjoyable atmosphere. Lunchtime on a Saturday and not too busy. Didn't try the food this time but would go again.

Manager named mona was drinking while working and then replying in a really bad and arrogant way, never going back

Great pub within Spitalfields market. Good quality well prepared classic pub food. We had sausage and mash and burger both were great. Minor problem with cask ale - Young's Winter warmer, end of keg past it's best, which was immediately changed and rectified. Would definitely return.

We had a booking for 10 for after work drinks and nibbles. The Grocer team looked after us very well and we had a very pleasant evening.

I have been everywhere in the uk, but this was the first time i have seen a manager being so racist. Manager named mona was saying such words that were really wrong. Never coming back

The general manager named mona was so rude. She gave me a drink with fly in it and was making racist comments

3 months ago when we visited London we had a very great time at The Grocer’s. The food was delicious the beer was excellent and they had the best designed glasses I ever saw🤩 All the staff was very kind and friendly. If you are in London I would fully recommend to visit this place🤩

This year we introduced it to our children. They loved it. Whether it's fish and chips or Grocer Burger beef. Every bite is a treat. The only thing to improve is the temperature inside because a little wind is felt. That didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.

Visited the grocer last Sunday , very happy with the chicken roast definitely worth visiting for , and as a person who don’t drink they have a wide range of non-alcoholic drinks which made me feel included I had a non-alcoholic amaretto sour which was really good . Overall I will definitely be visiting again soon

I had a reservation here last night for dinner. We were seated immediately. The servers were so polite! We chose to order off the app. My boyfriend had the fish and chips. I’m a vegetarian and felt there was so many vegetable dishes available. Overall we were very satisfied and would absolutely recommend the grocer

Cozy place, lovely staff with good drinks!

Staff is very friendly and food is also amazing

Great pub in the heart of Spitalfields market. Staff are great and foods awesome too. If you’re in the area you must stop by.

Daniella was amazing. She gave us great service and we had a great time thanks to her.

Love the super friendly staff there! The portions are quite big especially for the roasts on Sundays. I always go there to have either chicken roast or the vegetable wellington, love the potatoes they give with it too. And whenever I come with my dog the staff always immediately brings her a water bowl and some treats so she loves them too haha. The wait at the bar might get somewhat long when of course the pub is full but the staff always makes their best to serve everyone as quickly and efficiently as they can. So yeah, over all I'm super satisfied with my visits there, be it indoor or in their cute viby outdoor space, and I recommend it very much. They also got a very nice selection of beers on tap with extra options in bottle for dry Jan yeey!!

First time there, will go again

We had our team Christmas lunch at The Grocer and it was really good. Food was excellent with many saying their Christmas lunch was just like home! It's a great venue with a bar outside, which we decamped to after our meal. Heated lamps are the best. A big thank you to Dannika and the team.

Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the most incredible pub England has ever seen. Tis the seasonal of giving, and what better place, to give, than right here, at THE GROCER

Excellent vibe, food…Exceptional service from Dannika👍

Didn't eat here, but will do in future, lovely people, atmosphere, menu and drinks thanks to you all for being such fun and so caring too!

Lovely pint of Young’s ordinary, lively pub with a great atmosphere. One of us had a burger and it looked excellent. He got us all chips and they were excellent! Good night out!

The only reason food is average is because we came from eating at another establishment and never got to try their food.. love the atmosphere and the Smiley and Friendly service..

The Grocer has become my ‘go to’ place for lunch when I visit the City with friends. Over the last couple of years, as the staff has got to know us, we get looked after well and valued as customers. The food is good pub grub, a wide selection of beers and enough choice of wines certainly for me. I consider the cost good for the types of long lunches we have there.

Wish I could give 0 for service. Horribly rude servers. Please try to avoid- there are multiple other amazing places around the market.

Great place. Good service, lovely food.

Thank you so much to Dannika for looking after us. We arrived early but our table was ready. Our dietary requirements were well cared for, the food and drinks were delicious and served in perfect timing. My son even got his dessert first, as requested. Great place for lunch right in the market. Would recommend and will go back! Thank you.

super nice bartenders, very cozy feelings - can reccommend

Great place to share an evening with friends

It took 50 minutes to get my food despite not being too busy. They forgot my order and pretended that it was very busy in the kitchen. Had to go and ask twice for the food before I could get it. And the food wasn't with a 50 minutes wait either.

I really enjoy going for a drink there when I’m in the neighbourhood. Nice bar, there’s plenty of seating (even ‘outdoor’ which is covered as inside the market, and heated). Recommend a visit!

Un pub muy decente y cómodo situado en el mercado de Spitalfields. Pasamos una hora agradable más o menos viendo el mundo pasar. El servicio era bueno, así como la comida

El tendero nos dio una cálida bienvenida y nuestra fiesta de 11 disfrutó de una comida muy agradable. Cómodos asientos al aire libre era muy útil para las primeras llegadas y nos permitió disfrutar del ambiente especial del mercado de Spitalfields. El personal era amable y servicial, la comida era caliente y sabrosa y había una buena gama de platos, y cervezas. No teníamos entrantes, pero quizás debería haber hecho dada la variedad de platos que se ofrecen. ¡Gracias a Dani y al equipo por ayudar a que sea una experiencia tan memorable!

An excellent lunch for a group of 12 friends enjoying a reunion. Delicious food, a wonderful welcome from Danika and the team who looked after us so well and didn’t hurry us out at all! Highly recommended !!

Quiet place to have a good pint of beer inside Spitafields market

La comida está bien .. servicio es impactante! Necesidad de seguir recordando al personal que traiga bebidas y alimentos y luego un obligatorio 12. ¡5% de cargo por servicio cuando no he recibido ningún servicio! Qué pena...

Fabulous pub great service lovely atmosphere cheers 🍻

Ryan made us the best spicy marg, me and my hubby Gary will be returning for the delist Sunday roast, my Labrador poodle Glitter enjoyed his attention, the kids had the bangers, would recommend 10/10 x

Came for the Roast, but stayed for the bread and oil. The bread was perfectly seasoned.

Really great and quick service! Extremely grateful for the food it was delicious! Also a lovely atmosphere.

El ambiente es abierto, acogedor y divertido! Nuestro camarero / sirviente Amandio era fabuloso! Las bebidas eran deliciosas y la comida era increíble! Mi nuevo lugar favorito en Londres!

Our bartender/server Amandio was fabulous! So friendly and accommodating. Everything about this place was awesome!

I got a table here for my architectural group's aprés-tour social. Our waiter was super-patient and accurate (10 diners!) with drinks, serving food--and helping us pay with separate checks. Food and drink all excellent. I've taken off 1 star for service only because the orders took a little while to arrive (hey, it was Sunday lunchtime peak-hour!) and the interior was just a little on the noisy side (same). Recommended 😋

Great bar to go to, with very nice staff especially Emily, the food was amazing would defo come back here!

Nice chilled bar, good selection for drinking

Good drinks, nice atmosphere and very welcoming staff, especially Veronika

This place is amazing..the server Dannika and the drink master Ryan WOOW,. And the chefs..Tasty food and the drinks were delicious, and if we gonna talk about the service WOW! I will definitely come back! Thank you x

Veronika absolutely a great server, provided us with great knowledge and insight on the drinks! Thank you

Very delicious food, I recommend the fish!!! Service 10/10

Delicious food, very good location, I recommend fish and chips

Beautiful place, very atmospheric. Wonderful service and delicious Gunness beer. Eaten fish, which I highly recommend, and beef pie.

Super nice service!! Had great food and the location was very Beautiful!!

Alright, guv, if you find yerself around Spitalfields, The Grocer’s a solid shout for a pint. Nice spot, right in the thick of it, perfect if you’re knackered from moochin’ around the market. Got a good selection of drinks, and the pub itself has a proper nice vibe to it – modern, but not too fancy, y’know? Now, the food’s decent – won’t knock your socks off, but it’s tasty enough and does the job after a few bevvies. Prices aren’t bad for London, but let’s face it, you’ll always pay a bit more in town, innit? Only reason it ain’t getting the full five stars is ‘cos it gets a bit busy sometimes, and finding a seat can be like winning the lottery. But hey, that’s London for ya. Staff are friendly enough, and once you’re settled, you can have a right good time. All in all, The Grocer’s a cracking spot for a pint if you’re in the area. Worth a stop, for sure!

Far too noisy....the waiters at the bar would only serve certain type of people...all bartenders were miserable, not friendly at all, not enhaging....the drinks were not great value for money either. They even ran out of glasses....really..?....in a busy bar...??? We had to wait for our glasses to be washed... Will not come back period!!!

The food here is absolutely amazing, and the staff and drinks are equally incredible! As a regular, I’ve always been taken care of so well by Amelia, Veronica, and Dannika. Each of them, on different occasions, has looked after me and my colleagues with such care and professionalism. They truly embody what hospitality is all about, consistently making us feel right at home. I’ve been coming for over a year consistently and will continue too!

Lame service. Veronika??? Our host could barely be bothered to deal with us. Food was super mediocre. I have had better food at a Wetherspoons. No atmosphere and very underwhelming lunch. Won’t be returning.

Nous avons été surpris par les plats qui était vraiment très bon et Veronika la serveuse, c’est très bien occupé de nous.

The staff is very Helpful and welcoming. The atmosphere and vibes in the pub are great. They also have an amazing range of beers and they often feature guest beers.

I ha a very friendly service, I would like to thank for Kelsey and Emilia the lovely service!

I came in with a group of friends and we had a great time, both drinks and food were banging and the overall experience was titillating

Pleasant pub in Spitalfields market. Outdoor seating available. Drinks are pricey even for London and non- alcoholic drinks are as much as the alcoholic versions.

Food is good and staff is friendly

Had the pork Sunday roast was amazing and our lovely waitress Dannika just made the experience so delightful with her beautiful smile and eye catching lovely tattoos will definitely come back

Having to download an app and make an account is not great!

The Grocer was the ideal spot for our last lunch in London. The atmosphere was laid-back and fun, exactly what we needed after a busy vacation. Our server, Veronika, was a gem! She went above and beyond to make sure our 7-year-old daughter was happy, even when her initial drink choice wasn't a hit. :) The food was fantastic – fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. I was thrilled to see so many gluten-free options, including fish & chips! Everything we ordered was wonderful. The location in Spitalfields Market couldn't be better. We loved exploring the market's unique shops and local artists throughout our time, and The Grocer added a perfect final touch to our wonderful trip. Hope to visit again someday soon! Highly recommended! 💖

Great service from a lovely lady. I think her name was Amelia. She kept us well topped up with drinks! Good choice of traditional pub food and always a nice vibe. Great place to meet for a relaxed catch up. Many thanks. Would def recommend.

Great food, great beer and great staff! Look for Amandio if you need amazing service, he made our evening unforgettable.

A lovely bar with a great atmosphere. The cocktails they serve are probably the best I have had. I can highly recommend the extra spicy margarita and espresso martini. The staff are really friendly here. Shout out to Amandio for looking after our table. He is a real asset to your bar! It was my first time here. Will definitely visit again when I’m back in the big smoke.

Good and well-prepared food! Pleasant atmosphere and excellent service!

Place was nice and food also, Thanks Veronika who helped us with with our food allergies giving us another food options, We enjoyed and recommend it!

Was served by Connor at the bar last night. What a lovely guy! He made me the best Aperol I have ever tasted I will definitely be back

Great restaurant in Spitalfields Market. Fabulous produce, friendly and efficient staff in a great location. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you're in the area.

The place looked good and the beers were amazing but I think they need to upgrade the people working there, We were served by an orange-haired woman with a ponytail who definitely had an attitude and it looked like she didn’t want to work, she had absolutely no patience and her horrific facial expressions made us understand she had no pleasure in serving us, Sorry for the owner 😒 Hope her boss knows who he decided to represent his business with

Great place to have a beer in Spitalfields.

erika was so lovely and did amazing service!! had a great experience and she made the sunday roast so enjoyable

Very slow service. No one to greet anyone coming into the eating area. Drinks took 30 minutes.

Such horrible service/waitstaff. Went in to get a table and ignored by waiters/host. Had to ask about sitting down for lunch and told we had to seat ourselves and order at bar since they were so busy (it was not busy). We found a seat and were waiting patiently in line at bar to order and were told by another waiter that we could not eat there because my 9 year old had food already. My 9 year old will only eat certain food so we had takeaway for her while we were waiting to order. All this was fine expect the attitude of the first waiter and second waiter was totally rude like they hated their jobs and we were a nuisance. No customer service attitude at all.

Food is quite nice and they have an outside area.

Stunning pub in the bustling Spitalfields market. The staff were amazing, particularly Erica, Flo, and Kelsey. Provided exceptionally fast and friendly service. Will definitely be back again!
