I had a really good experience as a vegetarian. The menu had a nice range of options, which is always a relief. Anastasia, was fantastic. She was super friendly, made sure I had all the info I needed about the vegetarian options, and even suggested a few things based on what I liked. If you're in the area and looking for a good pub with solid veggie choices, I’d definitely recommend The Grove. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Anastasia, you’re in good hands!

Melissa was an exceptional waitress to our small group. Our first choice of cocktail drinks was unavailable and she was a master mixologist in coming up with an alternative that was liked by all. Excellent friendly service with a smile.

Delicious, top notch vegan food and exceptionally attentive service - especially Jane and Anastasia who were serving us! Also super pet friendly - Anastasia brought water and fresh chicken for our dog plus he received some lovely cuddles from her too. 100% recommended xx

Overall I really love the atmosphere of the pub and food was good. Despite some negative aspects of the visit I would recommend this pub. Service: We booked in for dinner. Whilst our waitress was very friendly the service was slow and inattentive. This was surprising as there weren’t many tables sat around us. Took way too long for drinks to arrive once ordered (was quicker to leave the table and go to the bar ourselves). £5 for a pint of diet coke also seems very steep for Surbiton… Sea bass with chorizo: Really enjoyed this. I normally don’t like chorizo but this paired really well with the fish. Fish and chips: Friends enjoyed this fish and chips. Banana sticky toffee pudding: Looks fantastic but sadly didn’t taste it. The banana chips were too hard and not a great take on the traditional pudding. A case where simplicity would have been better. The pudding itself was a bit hard and dry (looks like they were cooked individually but this means there was a crust all the way around which was disappointing)

Food was next level ! I believe it to be a new menu and I hope the chefs keep up their enthusiasm the same way they’ve created this menu and delivered it. All the time it’s like this I’ll be coming back non stop ! Well done to the chefs and front of house.
