Nice food and friendly staff. In need of a refurb but a nice space all in all.
2 issues, Staff and Food! READ ONStaff - I attended with my wife and went to the lounge for a quiet afternoon meal and glass of wine. There was a table with 3 men who instead of sitting in the attached bar to watch TV, used the lounge. They are a bunch of loud foul mouthed individuals. Their language was a disgrace, in what was a family lounge. We complained to the manager but he failed to challenge them, probably because they were regulars. I felt for the families with children who were commenting themselves on the swearing. Poor showing folks, shame on you! Food - Awful, and I'm not just saying that because of the horrid staff and foul mouthed customers. My steak fajitas came with a smattering of onion and pepper and some uneventful sides, the tortillas where damp somehow and tasted unpleasant. My wife's burger was cremated and the meaty segment between the char was bland and tasteless. Very poor and not worth the hassle, drive past and go elsewhere, spare your kids, your ears and your tastebuds from the full frontal assault they will receive here.
The Grove serves food on a Sunday evening, unlike many other places. My steak was tender and cooked just how I like it; the accompanying chicken was moist; the side salad fresh and crisp; and the chips were perfect - crispy outside, soft and fluffy inside. My husband enjoyed his madras curry just as much. The staff were very helpful and keen to ensure we were happy with our meal. Service was extremely quick (even allowing for the fact that it was 18:30 on a Sunday evening and not too busy). When you go in, it strikes you as a normal run-of-the-mill pub, with plenty of local customers (always a good sign). The food however was much better than this suggests: we had an excellent, very reasonably priced meal and I'm so pleased we found this place.
Christmas day lunch here. Very nice cosy pub. Really enjoyed it
Have visited a few times and always good value food, drinks and excellent service. Recommended!!Regards David
