The Grasshopper pub offers a mixed bag of dining experiences, with some patrons raving about the lovely Sunday lunches and quality wine selection, while others complain about overpriced and poorly cooked dishes. The recent renovations have improved the ambiance, and the outdoor area is well-received. Some customers appreciate the dog-friendly atmosphere and extra touches like complimentary fudge. Overall, the staff are friendly, the location is fantastic, and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a recommended spot for a meal.
