| Went to the Golden Grove today as its one of my locals and I had always thought it looked like a nice pub to visit. I walked in to find I was the first customer of the day at 12.25. I ordered steak and chips only to be told they had no steak so I changed to bangers and mash. I ordered a pint of IPA. The food turned up after 20 mins and first impresions were not great. The gravy didnt move (it was more like wallpaper paste), the bangers were ordinary (Tesco's do better) and the mash was powdered catering stuff that they just add water to. What really made it bad though was someone had given a good dose of seasoning to everything so in one mouthfull it would taste salty, the next you'd get a strong black pepper taste (I came away from the pub with a strong taste of pepper in my mouth). The food was average at best so a 5/10 on this. The beer was worse. It tasted to me more like Cider (it had that cidery taste). Having had IPA many times before I know the taste and cidery it should not be (I guess it was past its best). So I give the beer a 3/10 making an average of 4/10 which is a shame as it looks quite an inviting pub from the outside. The only good thing was the price which at less than £9 for everything was reasonable (even if it was only average). bluesman - 4 Jan 2008 16:20 |
| A very traditional kind of pub, popular with local people. The problem being it's a bit out of the way, and far from the town centre. Gets quite lively on occasion but is more of a place to go for a quiet drink really. I like the Grove, it's a nice place. Isaac_Hock - 4 May 2007 22:46 |
| We went for lunch there on Mothering Sunday. We realise that it's a busy day everywhere but we were disappointed with the service. We waited for over an hour for our meals to arrive - only to see them served up to the wrong table. We then had to wait a further 20 minutes for replacements. When they finally arrived, the main courses were okay. We were further disappointed by the "home made apple pie". We were served a tiny portions of a sugary pie with hardly any fruit in it that tasted like it had just been reheated in the microwave. roberty - 20 Mar 2007 20:02 |
| This should be a great old country pub but it falls well short, the inside is cheap, outdated and unwelcoming. Went on a cold Wednesday night but instead of a snug cosy atmosphere it felt uncomfertable and transitory. 2 ales on, Tetleys Cask and Pride, OK to drink but no great shakes. Could see this as having great potential for an Anthony Worrell-Thompson gastropub maybe. Not a bad place, but massively underacheiving. Quinno - 8 Feb 2007 22:30 |
