This has become yet another Pub/Restaurant type place! The pub area itself is a little on the small side, but somehow it creates a nice, small yet warm and friendly atmosphere. Entertaining SjW gig.

A dirty little dump of a pub not worth crossing the road for

Didn't fancy this place much, but I made the mistake of being there on St Paddys day with all the braying eejits wearing Guiness hats and being 'Oirish' which may have tainted my view somewhat.
However, this wasn't helped by my pint of Ordinary being vile (so far off there must be a lack of basic checking by staff in the morning), but it did get exchanged for an acceptable Pride.
Next time I'm Weybridge I'll pop in again hopefully minus the plastic paddy brigade to get a better picture.

Very acceptable. Lively, friendly, somewhat smoky bar. London Pride and Bombadier on tap. Sky Sports One matches on the TVs, and handy list to show what matches are coming up. Thai food served in a separate area, tables bookable.

(my very biased opionion, as it's my local)
in my humble opinion you'll be hard pressed to get a better pint of Guinness - I sample some of Dublin's finest every month so am more than qualified to express that one! great Thai food every evening, phone up for takeaway too! (website with downloadable menus http://www.thegrottoinn.co.uk) with your more regular fare for lunchtime grub, just had a crackin double decker bacon sarnie :o)
staff are always welcoming and friendly, owned by a great couple of New Yorkers that can't say the word booza properly ;o) they've done a great job turning around a booza I wouldn't have set foot in before they took it over... a great regular crowd and always a steady flow of new faces
the music is always great; Jim and Gary raise the roof as do all the people that play, gotta stick up for Scratch too! always a great atmosphere in a small, friendly PROPER pub - there's not many left like this one...
the lovely people even have free wireless internet for the customers, work is so much better with a Guinness in hand ;o)

In the last couple of weeks the pub seems to be getting better.

Went to the Grotto to see another gigging, and it was great. It's always good to check out other acts and even get to chat with them and see whats the happs, around the music scene.

We gigged here on thursday the 31st, and what a great night. The crowd were excellent and a good night was had by all.

Your entittled to your opinion . . . d'head, leave your e mail instead of being a whimp and leaving an anonymous feedback. There weren't many people there at the last gig, and we had 2 encores . . stupid . . so whats the hassle, and if we or I wasn't what you liked then have the balls to approach me and air your views.
Better still DON'T fxxx'n come to the grotto.

Always pleased to receive feedback, even if it is negative. Cringe-worthy rubbish is it? Oh dear, perhaps we need to think about revising our extremely successful repertoire...

Ok pub normally with good beer.
But the music is diabolical. I had the misfortune of seeing Scratch. Cringe worthy rubbish. Nails scratching a blackboard, more like.

New owners & management since December 2004 have really turned the place around. Thai food is excellent and the beer is kept well. Staff are friendly enough - customers are welcoming and not at all stand-offish. Live music on Thursday and Sunday nights always worth a look. One of the cheaper places in Weybridge to drink.

Interesting alternatives to beer are sold here

I think The Grotto in Weybridge
is lovely and friendly pub and is worth a vist

Used to be scary, but new landlords seem to be turning things round. Small with not much charm.

Quite friendly under new regime. Very pricy beer. Thai food supposedly v'good. Getting better.

Since the dross was throw out, this has become a friendly local pub. The manageress isn't much cop, but the staff and owner (Charles) are great, and offer a welcoming service.
Rugby is on a level footing here with football, and it can be a good place to watch an international on Sky Sports.
Worth a visit.

Great Thai food and the worlds friendliest landlord - he even picked my missus up when she fell off her chair - now that is service
