The Grove Surbiton

I'm sure I've had decent meals in the grove before but I really unimpressed with the cauliflower curry, undercooked veg in really large pieces, not chopped up or mixed into the sauce and and not much curry sauce

Food was very disappointing. There were 4 of us, 2 Ordered whitebait for starter, they had about 3 bits of whitebait but mostly squid which for the price was terrible with a watercress garnish that was wilted and had seen a better day. All of us us then had roast dinners. 3 chicken and one beef. The gravy was like water, potatoes weren’t roasted, they tasted boiled and had no crispyness to them. Bread sauce was cold, pig in blanket was anaemic and looked like it had t even been cooked, the same for the stuffing, pale white and definitely not roasted. The only part that was ok was the roast carrots and the Yorkshire pudding. With the whole dimmer tasting like it hadn’t been seasoned. The serving staff were lovely however and tried their best to accommodate but I would never eat here again. We were out for a birthday lunch day so it ruined the day.

Booked last minute. Long wait for food. One wrong main arrived- they fixed that quickly. Two of us ordered sea bass with chorizo, spinach and new potatoes. No chorizo and no spinach. Disappointing.

The second time in a month I’ve enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Grove. I wanted to go back because 1) the first time was so good, and 2) I wanted to make sure it was as good as i remembered. It was, really consistent and equally tasty. I’ll be back.

Disappointed with my vegan roast dinner. The Wellington tasted like it had some kind of spice in it, the gravy was far too watery. It was super loud with big groups in both corners and us in the middle
