Bustling Ealing gastro pub with strong roasts and a lively garden; food is generally good value for a pub, though fish and chips quality and service consistency are sore spots.
The Grove delivers solid neighborhood pub dining with strong roasts and creative burger work anchoring an elevated comfort menu, supported by a spacious garden and warm, bustling atmosphere that draws loyal locals. However, inconsistent fish and chips quality and service lapses during peak times prevent the grade from climbing higher, and the pub lacks the distinctive execution or destination appeal needed to compete with the area's premier dining establishments. Best visited off-peak or for the reliable roasts and wings.
One caveat: Fish and chips draws repeated complaints about portion size and dryness
