The Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common

Went back to the F&G for the first time since the refurb. Sunday 27th March @ about 4pm. I just had a drink with my parents, wife and my baby, but have to say that the space is MASSIVELY improved now.

They have replaced the slightly shabbly furnture, cleared out the 'ye-olde' paraphernalia (no more clay cider kegs gathering dust I'm afraid) and the whole pub no longer smells of the loos.
This is my first (and probably only) review on BITE.com, but felt compelled to put something up here to contradict the negative reviews I've seen.

So to summarise :
- drinks are no more than AllBarOne (�3.60ish for a cask ale)
- they seem to have kept the projector, so presume they still show sports
- they are definitely still dog friendly
- food prices have gone up by �3-�5 per main course compared to before. �13 for sausage and mash is not cheap, but as part of a day out walking the common etc. it's not extortionate.
It's not giving away drink and food, so the 10 rating is perhaps a touch generous, but I was happy and will be back.
