The Grosvenor: 1904 in Ealing

Really disappointing Mothers day lunch. Long wait and wrong order. Tried again today. After asking for menus went up to order food and said not taking food orders! Bank Holiday and no food. Seems the kitchen has issues. Avoid for food! Shame as nice place.

Nixe pub, decent enough selection of drinks on tap. Friendly, family atmosphere

Awful Sunday roast, roast potatoes were barely cooked and had to wait over 45 minutes for desserts. Ruined Mother’s Day

Food good quality as always, very friendly staff and atmosphere. Drinks and food served in a timely manner. Good range of beers. Also food and drinks very well priced. Happy to be a regular here!

I so want this pub to succeed .. especially after recent unfortunate forced closure .. and I expected that Mothers Day would be excellent - ! What a chance for the pub to show itself at its best ! It could be so good... BUT the food was a great disappointment - I don’t think the oven was working as we were served huge boiled potatoes - not roasted at all - and the vegetarian wellington was uncooked pastry … it all took ages to arrive too. Then we had dessert and plastic was found in the Eton mess. Apparently new cooks are on the way - but it doesn’t take a trained chef to cook a roast potato !!! We got an apology and free desserts but I was so disappointed that our Mother’s Day Sunday lunch was so dreadful. I will not recommend again - or eat here again.

Our friends recently shared a dreadful Christmas experience at the Grosvenor, and regretfully, I now wish I had paid more attention. Despite our intention to support a local pub, our family visit turned into a disappointment. It took two and a half hours to receive our main and dessert, and no one bothered to take our drink orders without numerous prompts. The limited gluten-free option, a 'naked burger,' was unappetising – a defrosted burger patty on wilted lettuce and tomatoes with no dressing. The overall food quality left much to be desired, and the nonexistent service required us to clear our own table. Even the kids' lunch arrived on scalding plates. For a drink, ordering at the bar- go. For food, stay at home. To cap it off, the women's restroom lacked toilet paper on Mother's Day!

Such a shame the food is so often poor and/or slow here. This should be a great local boozer, suitable for all sorts. It’s got a nice vibe but we have had multiple poor experiences with the food. Today, we came for mother’s day lunch. It was busy but not mad busy. The food was very slow to arrive (45-60mins), the roast potatoes were barely cooked (multiple tables were complaining about them!), and some of the food was cold. There were lots of staff, and they were pleasant, but it was very confused, we were asked 4 times what we wanted to order, then we were asked if we had only ordered desert (we had ordered our mains 45 mins ago - v odd). The guy in charge seemed to just want to question us when we complained. No offer of a discount. All very disappointing for one of our local pubs that used to be, and could still be, so much better.

Love this pub but had a TERRIBLE experience there last night. Booked a table, received email confirmation, turned up and for some reason no table was available. Staff were dreadful. Told me ‘things happen’, I’d have to leave and my fault for booking late..and left us (me, my elderly mother and 2 young children) with no attempt whatsoever to find a solution. When a table became available I was told ‘you see…look what happens when you’re patient’! After that, we decided not to stay - noone would give me the managers details and we felt like criminals. Appalling service and assume it was a one-off but needs fixing.

Beautifull pub and nice atmosphere, a bit pricey though

A very mediocre Sunday lunch. Nicely presented but barely warm and the roast potatoes were anaemic and tough round the edges. The vegetarian meal seemed to be a combination of the 2 menu options but was OK. The desserts were supposed to be served with vanilla ice cream, instead it was chocolate chip. Will not return, there are too many other decent places to eat.

Last time I was here was 35 years ago and I came to see whether it had changed. It had been updated a little but still had a lot of the lovely old character I remembered which was lovely. Sunday roast was excellent and service was friendly and helpful. Only suggestion for improvement was to update/clean toilets as they were in need of it. But would still recommend overall as a great pub to eat or drink.

Spacious place decent beer and music

Lived in the area for 10 years. When this was owned by Food & Fuel, had a decent GM and a proper chef, it was a wonderful pub. Amazing fresh food with seasonal specials, a warm atmosphere and well priced good beer/wine. Then along came private equity backed Red Cat. They have put in a frozen food led menu (same as all their other pubs) with a cheap kitchen team and no real chef. Shipping out centrally bought cheap frozen food to all your no pubs may be good for the cost side of the P&L, but it kills once great pubs. We don’t eat here as I know the story. However we tried the nachos one day recently - how bad can you make nachos? Gloopy guacamole out of a large bottle (ever heard of a fresh avocado?) some weird long life tasteless excuse for sour cream, a few sprinkles of unmelted mild cheddar and a few jalapeños all for something like £9. Forget it. Until Pubcos realise people want real food they will continue to do poorly. The Grosvenor used to be one of the busiest pubs around, now whenever you walk past or go in (drink only) it’s empty. I do not recommend eating here unless you like prepackaged frozen food reheated.

Had a lovely afternoon celebrating an 80th. Really excellent service (thank you to Alex) and the food was lovely. Would highly recommend for any occasion.

Had a great evening on 31st December for new year celebration and husband 's birthday. Great atmosphere, great service, loads of fun

We'd not been since the reopening so were excited for this. We'd booked for Christmas lunch no less. I have to say the welcome from (I presume) the landlord (we didn't get his name) and team were lovely, so I hope they take this feedback as well- meant. The food was OK. Not anything to complain about, but it was a bit basic and lacked attention to the details - which I think Christmas should be about. The baked Camembert starter came with a few thin slices of French bread and a sprig of thyme - but it would have been greatly improved by a bit of cranberry sauce on the side in terms of visuals and taste. We ran out of the bread pretty quickly! The prawn cocktail starter was flavourless and the prawns were tiny and a bit dry, clearly thawed from a packet. My husband and elder son's turkey main course was described as 'with all the trimmings' but aside of pigs in blankets and sprouts, there was no stuffing or (again) cranberry sauce. My roast pork skin wasn't 'crackled' so was just a soggy layer of fat and the accompanying potato Dauphinoise was woefully underseasoned so I left that too. Not worth the calories. My other son enjoyed his steak & chips though which were cooked exactly as he wished. Desserts - all OK - no complaints, nothing to write home about on presentation. A few berries or even a sprig of holly on the side and a dusting of icing sugar would have made it feel a bit more 'Christmassy'. If it was only this though I would have gone for a 'good' rating - but there isn't one here - i.e. 3.5 out of 5. The thing that made it drop down again, was that they sat us behind a screen on the other side of the toilets. This wasn't immediately apparent as a problem but over the next two hours, the smell of p*ss started seeping into our nostrils and completely destroying the ambiance. I ended up leaving half my dessert and stepping away from the table whilst we were waiting for the bill. Luckily we didn't need the toilet whilst we were there. Again, not the fault of the staff but those toilets need a much better clean and ventilation. Not pleasant at all. Would we go again? Yes, for drinks and the staff, welcome and service. No, for a Christmas meal, but maybe we'd try it for regular pub grub (I'd insist on not sitting near the toilets though - they need fumigating and a new cleaner!).

We went to the Grosvenor for Christmas lunch, it was utterly chaotic. We waited for half an hour before we were seated, the food was terrible, we waited, nearly 2 hours between our starter and our main course and had to leave with a pudding in a takeaway box, or we would have missed a taxi home. Terrible service terrible experience. Do not go to this pub for food! The manager gave us a string of excuses as to what was going on. Judging by the food I would say they were short of kitchen staff. This put enormous pressure on the table staff who looked exhausted and utterly fed up. Of all days Christmas Day is not the day to get it so badly wrong!

Any place that has Red Stripe on tap gets full marks!

It was really poor, Pub was cold, staff indifferent! Glasses dirty, food not available which is fine but when your told what is available and your order is taken to be told 15 mins later what you ordered isn’t available! It’s a shocker ! We wanted to mark the day and it will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. If I owned this pub I would be asking plenty of questions! On site management uninterested ! Tables all around us had similar problems, people eating in their outdoor coats ! The list can go on and on …………….. You can make a few mistakes if the service is good ! You buy a whole rope to hang yourselves if the service is exceptional. If the service is poor and the product is not great you won’t get a second chance. Shame as my family have had a 50 year relationship with this pub. Had a great meal in there a couple years ago! Tenants and owners come and go, this is my worst experience in the Grovesnor!

Great service and delicious roast dinner followed by dessert and cheeseboard. Lovely decor with a cosy, festive atmosphere. A great local pub.

Sometimes when you’ve worked all day, get in late and exhausted, there’s only one place to go. The Grosvenor for a time to wind down and have great food. “Where everybody knows your name” 😉

Nice atmosphere cosy surroundings didn’t eat so can’t rate the food but will definitely go back for a meal

Fabulous meal - steak pie and followed with sticky toffee pudding. The wine choice was excellent too and the staff very friendly.

Large group of friends had preordered from the Christmas menu. We made a couple of last minute changes all accommodated with no fuss. We were well looked after and food came quickly and was very good…good value for money and a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely book again.

Terrific old fashioned pub. Noisy, but with conversation rather than unwanted music. Televisions showing sports but without high volume. Friendly locals and efficient staff.

Gorgeous local pub with regular live music, friendly staff and a lovely little beer garden.

Lovely Pub ... Great service Friendly Staff

Great local pub. Friendly atmosphere and good service.

Great little pub. Food was good and they have some great local craft beers from brentford! Weird Beard. Staff very helpful.

Went in early so a bit quiet but staff were super friendly and the baked Camembert was very nice...

Our favourite local pub, friendly staff and great food.

Nice food served by nice staff. It was a bit noisy when we arrived but that was because the Women's World Cup match was on at the time. We were able to find a nice quiet spot in the garden bar.

Really lovely pub, nicely decorated and incredibly clean. There’s various seating options inside or out, the seats inside are very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and gave great service. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. Lovely to see some nice touches such as the dog bar where water and biscuits are available, the other is the range of board games to play. All round a lovely local and highly recommend. Thanks team 👌🏻

My wife and I have been enjoying the food at the Grosvenor for many years, she is a big fan of their fried fish and I've also enjoyed their fine selection of beer. There were concerns last year that it might be lost to us. We were glad that it did survive but still had concerns as to how it might fair under the new owners. When we went yesterday we were really happy to find that the old buzz was back. The food was good, it came quickly and the service was friendly.

Realy good fish and chips £14.95. Great selection of beers.

A truly lovely local pub. Friendly and welcoming staff. A lovely little beer garden at the back, plus seating at the front and inside. Even if I come here as a single woman, I feel safe and welcomed. I've had a couple of meals here too and they were lovely.

Yes, Thank God the food's a hit! Low calorie options are delicious and satisfying. The burgers are a soul quenching dream come true... Eat here... They want you to enjoy yourselves. It's clean, comfortable and revamped to a high standard. Open, honest and friendly management.

Cool pub, nice food, friendly staff, good beer selection, fun pub quiz. Not much more to say 😃

After a few months not visiting for various reasons, came back on Thursday night. First time after the refurbishment, and they did a great job. Sympathetic to what makes the pub great but really spruced it up. Service was excellent and food very good for the price.

One of my favourite neighbourhood pubs. Lovely place!

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Very tasty fish&chips and amazing Apple crumble.

Very good menu, superb food as well. Friendly staff and a decent price for London. Would highly recommend.

Great local pub with excellent food, friendly staff, good beer selection

Cosy but busy pub with a nice little garden.

Couple of great beers and food was good .Very useful upstairs room for entertaining/parties.

Lovely atmosphere and brilliant team!

Our new local! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good range of beers. A hidden gem.

Great place! Food choice good, staff friendly and a very pretty place.

Great place. Friendly and attractive package! And refreshed for 2023!

Came for an early dinner.. Really nice food, staff were nice and the pub had a nice atmosphere

Love this place! Great staff, beautiful building. Such a local asset. Just had a refurb - looks great. Had a lovely mother's day lunch - service was attentive and friendly. Food was good - between us we had a roast, a burger, fish and chips and the sea bass. Big thumbs up.

We live very locally to The Grosvenor and have been frequenting since 2021 … since then we have always waxed lyrical about our local and it’s magical community feel in a traditional pub… The beer selection, for us is enjoyable and reliable (missing Five Points Pale though…) and the service from Sandro’s team is always friendly and often enthusiastic. We don’t often dine but when we do it meets our expectations (flavourful pub grub, London prices). Given that the formula seemed to be working and early evening Friday visits always showed a pub popular with a wide cross section of the local community, we were trepidatious but excited about the renovation (and sad to have no local for two weeks!)… No one could argue that there were areas of the pub that needed some TLC, if only to ensure that it is structurally sound for many years to come, however we wondered if the operators would feel the need to paint and polish away everything that makes The Grosvenor special, and if the appeal of a head to toe renovation into bougie London gastropub would prevail … leaving locals bereft of a local comfort…however ,we are super pleased (and relieved) to see the original features and comfortable touches have remained and the space has had life injected into the reliable soul. I absolutely hate the new piping shelves but as taste is subjective and I love this pub far far too much I have not deducted a star. 😉😉😉

Think The Grosvenor has changed hands. Menu & beer selection not as good as it used to be. Took 3 attempts to order a meal that was available from their menu. For the time being, will only pop in for drinks. Please bring back Blue Moon.....this was the pubs differential. Now it's just like popping into any other formulaic pub.

Good food and atmosphere. Friendly staff

Beautiful Sunday roast. Friendly staff, would definitely recommend. Thank you Marina and Alex for your great customer service 🙂.

Had the Steak. Absolutely perfect. Will visit again.😊 Returned again on Saturday. The Cesar Salad is so good and a large portion as a starter.

Called in today for Sunday lunch and it was the best I’d had in a long time . Beef was beautiful and staff were great many thanks

Nice pub tucked away in a residential area of Hanwell. Real ales available. Friendly and helpful staff.

Booked here for our family Christmas lunch and could not have been more disappointed. The food was terrible - something you’d expect from a primary school canteen. The quality was so cheap we left our food and came home. My wife ordered the beef roast and it came with half a red onion and a couple of kale leafs. The roast turkey Christmas lunch was like a pre-made dish microwaved from Icelands. The manager was supposed to call me to discuss but still hasn’t bothered. This is one of my local pubs and have drunk here on occasion for years but will not be eating here ever again as it ruined our Christmas Day.

Lovely little pub with super friendly bar staff. Highly recommend, solid vibe.

Always have the most wonderful service, beer and food at this place. A real community pub. All the staff are great - in particular Jude who is an incredible asset to this place. Will keep coming back for years I expect!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was good and reasonably priced

Welcoming staff, many drink options and quick service

Very friendly staff. Unfortunately I had dinner during the England's match against Senegal so the sound level was to high for me but everything else was fine.

Lovely environment. Nice sides (had the halloumi fries and were the best thing ever. Can't share a pic as I devoured them ). Stuff very kind and attentive at the people in the the tables which is sweet. Will definitely come back soon.

Lovely old school pub old authentic interior and a good food selection

Nice place to sit and enjoy some company with friends. Good team behind the bar too

Such a lovely neighbourhood pub. Gosh and chips are superb

Used to love dining at the Grosvenor but the food is nowhere near as good. The team seem nice and the manager chucked in some free pigs in blankets but the scampi was overcooked, the Caesar salad stank of overzealous chargrilling (the point at which the meat smells of vomit and carbon), and the pie didn’t come with mash. I had a horrible Hugo that tasted like synthetic lemon and lime barley water and the prosecco was nasty. The negroni and pigs in blankets were delicious though! I like how the pub feels less wanky than in previous years, more like a proper boozer so I’ll definitely go back for the darts and local vibe, just not the food!

Excellent Sunday Roast, staff very friendly - I would definitely recommend this place!

Tasty Sunday lunch after a walk in the rain. A friendly place, they dealt really well when our order was delayed. Very enjoyable - recommend.

A large corner pub with with a good selection of real ale on offer .. A friendly local with a family touch ..

Top neighbourhood boozer with the friendliest staff around and some really well kept ales, often including local brews from Ealing brewery.

Le chunky potatoes più buone del mondo !!!

Everyone there is very friendly front of house and the food is great but the day we went we waited over an hour and an order of beef roast was sent out as chicken. Apologies were made and as I said, the team were all great. Hopefully a one off.

I came here with friends for a Sunday roast after the Ealing Hlaf marathon. It's a very nice pub with a huge range of beers and well-kept ale. The staff are very warm, welcoming and friendly, they work well together as a team and the food was great.

In my opinion this is the best pub in Ealing. Great food, great service - personable and genuinely attentive to detail. The pub has plenty of space airy and is full of natural light. I celebrated my daughter baptism in the room upstairs and it was just perfect. Sa and the team are doing a great job and I go there regularly for a Sunday roast or just for a beer with friends. Well done.

Lovely pub and Jude is a great barman v welcoming!

We had our wedding breakfast at the Grosvenor and it was fantastic! Sandro the manager sat us down and we arranged a fabulous meal with him with 3 options for guests and a children's menu - with great wine and champagne - for a very reasonable price. He set up the room perfectly with white table cloths, fairy lights and flowers on the tables - it looked very classy. The staff on hand on the day were very attentive and polite (as always at the Grosvenor). All the guests raved about the food. It really couldn't have been a more perfect day and I am very glad I chose to go at The Grosvenor. Thanks a lot Sandro and team. Nathan and Vanessa.

Fabulous pub - vastly improved in the past year! A good range of beers, with a really tasty selection of food, plus (crucially) staff who know their stuff and care about good service. Rapidly becoming a place we return to. And have now been back in September for the Sunday Roast dinner - excellent, and very good service, particularly from the landlord Jude. A continued delight.

Cask beer in very good condition. Friendly service.

Spacious well laid out authentic smart looking and clean victorian corner pub. Very good selection of beers and excellent food. Friendly staff

This is what every neighbourhood pub should be like. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff, a phenomenal range of craft beers…. like, loads! Elevated pub food, plenty of space, live music, pub games, outside seating… gone to the top of the W13 league! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Being a local and having one of my first Sunday off, i wanted some Roast. This is one id closest to me about 7m walk. Nice looking pub, very friendly staff, delicious roast big portion as well and good price as well. Excellent overall, with a garden as well good addition with this hot weather. Definitely recommend.

Great local pub. Great staff. Good for drinks, kids, dogs, meals, or just having a few drinks with a mate! Top quality classic pub.

Lovely local gastropub with friendly staff and friendly owner. Really enjoy visiting, and the pooch loves the doggo biscuits!

One of the best pubs in the area. The Grosvenor is a delight. Very friendly staff, great selection of drinks, exceptionally good pub food and you meet other locals in here. I go a lot and always have a warm welcome.

Amazing food and drink with a great selection especially the draught Erdinger. Genuine engaging staff in particular Marina who always smiles and treats everyone as a friend. First class.

Local pub with a great menu. Very friendly staff.

Went to an event at this pub that was in an upstairs room, which was light and airy, decorated beautifully with lights, and dressed tables. The buffet was brilliant, the food just kept coming, there was so much of it. Staff were friendly and accommodating, and took care of the technical side of things, providing a projector and screen, and access to piped music. Would definitely recommend as a good venue for an event. The only downside is as I said, upstairs, so no easy access for someone with mobility problems.

My local, great service and great food 👍🏾

This place has a proper old school pub feel about it - something in short supply these days. The quality of the beer was good too!

Love the Grovesnor, our local and hub of the community. Great choice of drinks and food, and you can always get a table. A little bit shabby on the inside but characterful and welcoming. Dog friendly too.

A proper local pub, with a good choice of beers, great food, and occasional quiz and open mic nights. Wonderful food in the separate dining area last night, and great service from the lovely Daisy. Blessed to have this little gem on our doorstep.

Great place to meet up with friends for a drink or food. It was renovated a few years back but they have kept the original style of a traditional pub.Not the cheapest menu but a whole lot better than the usual pub grub. At last "a good local" to visit

Difficult to rate, as there was sadly a power cut at the pub soon after we arrived! But staff were friendly about it, and there was a great selection of pints! Will hopefully be back soon for a full evening 🤞🏻
