The Grove in City of London, Westminster

Had a lovely afternoon in this spacious pub with delightful beer garden. The service from Paul and his team was excellent, and the real ales were well kept. The food was good - especially the ravioli starter. The vegan starters were good, although vegan choice of mains rather limited. However the prawn and monk fish curry was rather insubstantial for a main, and for the money. Whilst we appreciated the good customer service, we were a bit shocked to see that we were charged service for the drinks brought to our table. It didn't spoil out experience but we will be more circumspect in future.

I booked the Grove for lunch with a friend. On arrival the bar man walked us through the various seating options and we chose a sunny courtyard out the back. The menus were prompt, the drinks and food too. We ordered selection of small plates from the starter & sides choices adm were not disappointed. Everything fresh, interesting and served with a smile. We will return!

Place was empty and no beer on tap. Attitude was no good so left before eating

Nice Sunday roasts. Great layout of the pub. Lovely outdoor area.

I have been to this place twice, one for food and once for drinks. It is good for both. Atmospheric and a nice outdoor area for when the weather is nice. Good for young people. Food also good at not unreasonable price

Lovely pub with great garden. Table service is good too. Roast dinners were tasty.

Staff at the Grove are very helpful, courteous, and professional. Food was fresh, plentiful and full of flavour. Really good for pub food.

Best Sunday roast in London and the best sticky toffee pudding. Great service as always! This is the best pub and we are so lucky it’s down the road.

Lovely little pub in Ealing. Calm and nice atmosphere. Very good service. Excellent food. We were very happy with our visit and will be recommending. Thank you!

Staff were amazing and pleasant. Lovely food with varied menu, though I personally wouldn't mind sacrificing a bit of style for more value/volume. But v good experience overall.

Lovely Sunday lunch and great service. What’s not to like

Very welcoming friendly staff and nice atmosphere but food was average. Had the vegan roast. It was tasty but looked like it had been reheated. The chicken liver profteroles were dry. Shame as otherwise a nice friendly local pub

7 of us dined including 1 kids meal for Saturday lunch. We found the menu quite uninspiring so just had main course and a drink each, plus 3 small sides to share. Most had fish and chips or the burger which were decent albeit some of the fries were very greasy. Seabass portion was quite small albeit nicely cooked. My Abbot ale tasted slightly vinegary and the head was scummy so I decided to leave it half drank. Service was slow and the waiting staff didn’t ask about leftover food (greasy chips) and the beer. Came to almost £200 including service (which was very slow even though it wasn’t busy).

Great pub with a great selection drinks and tasty food. Regularly come here with friends and family as well as work colleagues. Staff are friendly and welcoming, would highly recommend!

We went for Sunday roast. The chicken was tasteless, the vegetables overcooked and the dish was lukewarm at best. We were extremely disappointed and will not return.

Good, helpful welcome. Fairly limited menu. Sizeable portions.

My fish and chips were of a very poor standard. 1. The fish was very small approx 40% of the size I'd expect. 2. The tartar sauce had bugger all capers and taste. 3. I just do not understand the cucumber jam.4. The curry sauce was sweet without any zing. I have been to Heston's and Millers in Haxby plus the Golden Chippie and many more of note. This was not one of them. Sorry but 5.75/10 at a push.

Not been here for quite a while and it used to be quite good but the standard this time round was very average. Sunday lunch beef was stringy ,sponge pudding was omitted entirely despite being ordered. Getting the attention of the staff was virtually impossible. All in all a great disappointment.

Lovely food and service! We sat at the Restaurant area, had 3 kids the group and the waiters were great

Staff very friendly and professional. Felt very comfortable being there. Food delicious and piping hot. Had plenty of time to enjoy our lunchtime meal.

Wonderful service. Steaks nicely done. Mushroom parfait was not a parfait but tasted nice - although cold and more texture than any parfait. Steamed pudding very nice. Sea bass also looked great and the green Thai curry with cauliflower was delicious.

Food was really good, really recommend the vegan wellington. Pub itself was nice, but unfortunately our table was seated underneath a speaker which was playing music loud to the point that we couldn't hold a conversation. We asked it to be turned down a bit but the staff wouldn't do this. Would maybe come back for a quieter lunch some time

A very nice place for a Subday roast. Samuel was very nice, excellent service

Food disappointing, would not eat there again

Went for a meal with my husband. Service was very good and the food was tasty. Good choice of wine.

A very disappointing Christmas meal! A number of big items on the menu were not available, such as steak! We had to complain about most dishes, especially when the "truffle mac& cheese" turned up as macaroni with butter and A sprinkle of cheese! The vanilla custard was runny, luke warm and lumpy! The staff did respond to our complaints and replaced everything but a very disappointing night for the kitchen team.

The food was good and the service friendly and relaxed.

We absolutely loved the grove. My work family had a lovely evening. The food was lovely and value for money. However we did not like the dessert. The cheese cake was not sweet at all and the marmalade or jam did not accompany it. I think the dessert needs to be changed. Overall we would definitely go again. Thank you

We went with our family for some dinner and drinks and we had a great time! The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and the service was absolutely amazing!

The best staff! Nothing is ever too much to ask for, they are always super on it and create a fun atmosphere. Great selection of draft beers and food. Shout out to Rosa for being really helpful and accommodating when I booked

Very helpful staff. Asked to slightly turn down music as we are a group of 5 women with compromised hearing. Prompt service, with a smile. All Of us enjoyed our meals. We will definitely return. Thank you all.

Got 3 roast dinners, 1 beef, 1 pork and 1 chicken. Good portions for beef and pork but very small amount of chicken on the bone. Service excellent, table very small for 4 people to eat and drink comfortably. However, I would definitely go again and try at a quieter time and barter for a larger table!!

Good choice of dishes, including snacks and mains. Helpful,attentive staff. Food served in good time and excellent quality. Great atmosphere with choice of seating areas .

Reasonable food. Rather odd lighting but overall an ok experience.

Scotch egg and shepherd's pie were good and beautifully served.

Lovely pub, friendly staff. Food was a bit underwhelming. Had the rib flank burger and chips. Quite dry and plain. Nothing special

The pub is a good location next to walpole park but the portions are small for the price you pay especially the sea bass main and pie.

The roast vegetables were cold unfortunately. We have eaten 3 times at the grove in the last 2 months and this is becoming a common theme. It is a beautiful roast but this he’s let it down.

Overall we had an excellent meal - the service was good and the place is great. Thanks

Loved it. Such a great place and so helpful. We watched the WWC final there and it was such a great vibe and atmosphere.

Excellent experience as always......great food, clean and pleasant restaurant, good and friendly service!

Nice pub, dog friendly, nice customers, nice food. Only criticism reqlly was the aue con was on, but they happily turned it off when we asked - though it came on again few hours later unsure why, which meant we were cold, but were leaving by then. Happily go back! (But in case it's a recurring issue might take a jumper!)

Lovely terrace, food and drinks and great service!

Excellent lunch with friends, service with a smile, large fish & chips portions, cooked to perfection. Chicken pie a bit too liquid overall. Warmly recommended.

I visited The Grove with my friend. The service was good and the young person who was taking orders was very polite and friendly. The food was also tasty and fresh. Definitely going to come back. Monika

Good pub not too busy, food service was slow but apologised blamed cooking the steak lol. Food was very good, will try again when I'm back down Londinium

Food was lovely and staff were nice. Unfortunately the aircon was aimed at our table and much too cold.

I was greeted by a tutting waitress (I think she was the manager) because I was standing in her way.. lots of staff walking passed me without greeting me while I stood waiting for my table. The value of the Sunday roasts are very over rated. 2 bits of fatty beef and 3 tiny roast potatoes. One whole carrot and cabbage definitely not worth £20 wish I went up the road and ate somewhere else. I won’t be going back.

I've been to the grove several times with family and friends for Sundsy lunch and can say the food is consistently great, service is always friendly and with a smile.

A nice place for a quiet catch up with family or friends.

Lovely place to dine, we had Sunday roast outside and was a beautiful area. Service was a little slow and teams were pleasant however could be a little more upbeat.

Friendly staff and well managed booking made a family gathering a very pleasant one.

Rude waiters. Two potatoes on a Roast Dinner? One carrot and a burnt Yorkshire pudding. The blonde woman with short hair is incredibly rude. Awful. Ran out of Chicken at 5pm and didn’t offer any consolation. Incredibly poor.

It is a great pub and good food and atmosphere. Thank you

Great space, vibe, food and drink selection. Highly recommend.

Staff very friendly but a bit slow at times , food very mediocre, had the roast chicken which was dry and tasteless and the vegan roast which was too salty.

Great pub! Food was very tasty. Never disappoints.

Great pub, good roast dinner even on bank holiday! Nice outdoor seating areas

Ee had a roast.. as usually the food was amazing and the service very friendly!Food is the best xx

A beautiful pub with various seating options, the food is exceptional although I think a little pricey for what you get. The staff are friendly and it has a very welcoming atmosphere. We absolutely LOVE The Grove and it is definately a firm favourite.

Great food, with lots of options for vegan and gluten-free food. Attentive service and very friendly

Would definitely come back, cod and chips and roast chicken were excellent, however the roast pork was disappointing, the serving of pork was small and it was hard.

Arrived 15 min early but accommodated. Food and service was excellent. Lovely place to eat in doors and out. Comes highly recommended !!

Husband’s birthday with family. Staff lovely and attentive. Service little slow waited a while for food to come. Food was good and they put candle on dessert. Little expensive for pub food but nice restaurant

We had a lovely Sunday roast dinner. Service was friendly and food was tasty and came quickly.

Very enjoyable experience, ideal for a family Sunday lunch

Unfortunately we came at the tail end of a busy Mother’s Day which probably meant the kitchens were a bit depleted and chefs tired. That said, more could have been done to manage expectations about waiting times and steer customers to order the excellent Sundays roasts that were readily available. The Sunday roast option was excellent - chicken was moist and good yorkshires and accompaniments. Should have stuck with that! The fish portion was small and overcooked, the burger was over cooked with a bone marrow crumb that didn’t work on any level. The staff were lovely but unable to help with the waiting times. I probably wouldn’t rush to come back or just for the tried and tested Sunday roasts.

Best Sunday roast I have had in years: beef just the right ‘blush’, roasties and yorkie properly crisp and other veg’ had been treated with ‘respect’. Chicken and vegan wellington also wolfed down. The parfait for dessert was something else. (Pity the cauliflower cheese side was off though).

We were really disappointed at the fact that we were refused our 50% discount after signing up to the mailing list and not receiving a discount code. We questioned this and were met with a blunt refusal initially but thankfully had one item removed from the bill. The crisps to nibble on are over priced and not worth the money. Both burgers were served warm and not hot. We didn't complain due to the social dynamic of the group and the fact that we were celebrating. However, this was an ultimately disappointing experience and we quickly moved on rather than staying like we had intended for further drinks.

The service was friendly, we could take our dog with us provided we ate in the bar area (and not the dining room), which is where we wanted to be, anyway, because we prefer the informality of it, and the football was showing on the tv screens. Good atmosphere, got increasingly busy but the tables are not on top of each other, so it didn't feel cramped and we didn't feel rushed, either. Just a good, relaxed, easy-going place to meet up. Will definitely go again.

We received a call at 3:45 to confirm our reservation at 4:30 and told they had run out of roars beef but had pork and 2 portions of roast chicken. We were happy to have pork so went ahead with our reservation. On arrival had to wait ages to be seated in a bit very busy restaurant. The lady that served us, confirmed we wanted roast pork and went off and got our drinks. She assumed we just wanted the main until I called her to order our starter. Oh she said. She assumed we weren’t having a starter. We were not asked if we wanted any sides with the lunch or cauliflower cheese. We were not Good starter. 45 minute wait for main course. Bad Sunday lunch. Extremely salty congealed gravy, meagre vegetables, less than a dessert spoon of cabbage, I black tasteless carrot. I asked about cauliflower cheese and was told it would take 10 minutes. It’s extra but we weren’t given the opportunity to order because the roast dinner had already been put through to the kitchen before we were asked if we wanted a starter. Service was terrible. No care. Service was dreadful and we won’t be going back. The bar staff are great.

Booked and was advised bar seating only. Turned up and the restaurant was empty and remained empty for the duration of our meal. Great food and service but zero ambiance. Madness that the online booking system is preventing more people from enjoying this place.

Nice pub food. Friendly staff. Great venue and location.

Went for 'Lord of the Wings' (50p/wing on a Wednesday). Buffalo and BBQ available and some decent beer. Good stuff.

I love The Grove. The staff are so helpful and friendly, the food is tasty and not over priced, and it just has a really lovely and cosy feel to it.

Good staff and good food. Roast lamb is very good!

Food was cold, portions were small, service was slow and the waitress was really rude. The food was tasty but wasn't worth the price I paid.

Great support and accommodating service. It was a special night and there was a problem around the booking that they took great care of.

For bookings during sporting events televised, please ensure there's an option for customer to select to book a table for the game or not. Don't assume everyone booking during event would know to book a table near the TV screen. There was no prompt on my booking but after discussion and a cancellation we were offered a table near the TV.

Meal was fine as was service. But there were a number of things missing from the menu

I would recommend The Grove for Sunday dinner. The food, service and atmosphere are very good.

Pub was nicely done up for Christmas. Food was good. Service was a bit slow - I think they were understaffed possibly. They were really nice and offered to take service charge ( obviously I didn’t do that ! )

went for a roast, it was very much the staff would only see you when they are ready to see you so needed some prompting for service but they were quick with ordering, quick to table and nice wines. We came for a roast end of day so it was overdone from the heat lamps but you got to expect that. Good roast potatoes though. I'll go again as its a simple crowded pleaser

Amazing service. Had an excellent time even on a Wolrd Cup game night

Very good with the most pleasant, and hospitable staff I’ve met in a long time.

Service at the bar was absolutely impeccable. Barman was a delight. Food was good but not the best roast in Ealing: my beef was actually a little bland and the gravy a tad watery for my taste but it was ok.

Service friendly, food good, felt a little ‘empty’ in the dining room near the kitchen pass (maybe put a couple more tables in there), but overall I’d recommend this place for good pub food…

Great Sunday Roast definitely recommend and the staff very attentive and professional - we will back!!!

Nice selection of food on the menu. Sadly the gnocchi had sold out but the vegan burger was a delicious alternative. The service was great and we had a nice table in the quieter part of the pub.

I've eaten here a few times and I've always been pleased with the quality of the food and service and the atmosphere of the pub

Fantastic food and wonderful friendly and helpful service, thank you!

Drinks feel more expensive than quite a few other locals pubs but it’s quite a nice environment and food is good.

Another great meal. The food is always top-notch — and the chips are pretty much as good as you’ll find them anywhere!

Good pub for Sunday lunch. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty.

Sunday roast meats were very good however there was not much vegetables...would expect more vegetables for the price...I ordered cauliflower cheese as a side which was delicious however very small portion for £5.

Lovely roast and great service.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were not rushed after we had eaten. had plenty of time to sit and talk.

We met with our Son at the Grove yesterday for a birthday catch up over Sunday dinner. We ordered two trio roast dinners and a fish and chips - all thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. No pudding this time but the chocolate brownie is a firm favourite with our Son. Comfortable, welcoming and friendly.

nice and tasty food. great location, great service.

It was a great experience as always. The Grove is perfect for catching up with friends of have a glass after work with colleagues. The food is very good and the atmosphere is relaxing. Highly recommended and we’re definitely going back!
