The Fox and Grapes, Wimbledon Common

Really poor. Sorry to say that as was expecting great things. But the refurb has left the place cold - all bare walls and stripped wood. There is nowhere you would feel comfortable just having a drink - bar is tiny, all tables set up like a restaurant, no soft furnishing, so feels like a canteen.

Food prices are high for no discernable benefit - some dishes were good, some were just plain bad. Portions can be mean, especially the pathetic burger (They should be ashamed!). Steak was poorly cooked and tough. Fish was good, as were the chips.

Service was inconsiderate. We were left hanging at the door for ages, orders were taken slowly. They've parked an ugly storage unit right outside too, so had to elbow my way past smokers leaning on it.

Seems to be lots of fake positive reviews here so I'm deducting an extra mark for that.
