The Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common

This is not a pub anymore. Unfortunately, this is another buggy heavy restaurant pretending to be a pub, which means the staff are able to be less effective. No, dogs are not welcome, they are accepted in the same way people with leprosy would be allowed in. The horror in the waitresses' face at customers wearing wellies was almost amusing. Prices are high, even for Wimbledon (�9.50 for a pork pie) and although beer was good, they had managed to run out of one of the beers already. I was due to go there for dinner next weekend, but will be cancelling due to other poor reviews on the food. A great shame, it will be superb when it is bought out by someone who knows how pubs work. No wonder the last Bosi gastro enterprise folded - he doesn't appear to have learnt his lessons.
