The Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common

visited this pub on st night with my wife and good friends. I am so pleased that somebody has restored this iconic pub to its former glory.. and better in my opinion. the decor is light and the ambiance very comfortable and welcolming.
I had the pork pie, the portion was huge , enough for a main meal - too big for a starter but probably the best pork pie ive ever tasted! then i had the steak, this was beautifully caramelised on top and pink inside - incredibly tender and mouthwatering!
the wine list was clearly well thought out with something for everyone. we had a bottle of sancerre and then an amazing argentinian red.
this is a quality establishment that will go from strenghth to strenghth as it settles down. this quality of cooking has been missed in Wimbledon and means that we can have it all here on our doorstep in a neighbourhood venue without having to go up to town. well done!
