| There is yet another manager again but this one seems to be doing the right things. The food and Beer are much improved and the place looks better than ever. This will be my escape from the common during the summer. Keep up the good work thepubman - 3 May 2008 15:00 |
| The food used to be good. New manager. Now it isn't. Also the music has been turned up too loud. Choller21 - 3 Mar 2008 09:29 |
| Four of us came for a roast on the sunday just gone and were universally disappointed. Chicken Liver pate with red onion chutney looked and tasted like it was from the own brand section at Iceland and was not even served with toast just bits of stale ciabatta and the Prawn cocktail came from that same freezer cabinet. Things did't get any better with the mains, the meats were all totally overcooked and of poor quality as was veg/fish. Staff were pleasant enough and were obviously aware of the dogs dinner we were served as no one dared to ask whether we enjoyed our meal...apparently it's better during the week.

| I went to the grove the other day and found the whole experience utterly delightful. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the staff in a warm and welcoming way and was served immediately by someone who seemed genuinely pleased to serve me. She recommended several items on the menu to which my partner and I chose. They were delicious and served with a smile! I had the BBQ Chicken Pita with Mozzerella and Bacon and my partner had the Steak, all were cooked just as we liked it even though we had several specifications. The beer was delicious as was the house red. I would recommend this pub to anyone as a most relaxing establishment with the winter fire going it is the perfect place to unwind! fancypints - 14 Jan 2008 19:53 |
| Not quite what you'd expect to find in a back street in Balham - this is a fairly typical chainy Youngs Pub and Dining Room, which has limited appeal for serious drinkers. Carry on walking to the nearby Nightingale, if its a bit of atmosphere and a proper pub you're after. JohnBonser - 19 Dec 2007 13:09 |
