The Grove

“Background music playing, excellent friendly service, delicious meal.”

We went to check out the newly refurbished Grove and we weren't disappointed! The decor was great and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff were brilliant and welcoming and the food was absolutely excellent. Seriously couldn’t fault the food. Some stand out dishes I’d recommend were the Salmon poke bowl, the prawns, the scotch egg and the Jerk chicken! The wine menu is great, which is quite hard to find and the cocktails we had were lovely too. Can’t wait to go back here - especially when it gets warmer so we can enjoy that gorgeous terrace.

Brilliant views and a range of tapas. Always thrilled to see arancini on a menu. Decent servings. Local beer in a bottle too. It was pretty busy in the late afternoon on Easter weekend, but still a few tables available for walk-ins. A few people had kids. It seemed child-friendly. The toddler at one table was enjoying the chips. A child at another had an ice-cream sundae which I would have got if it hadn't turned chilly. The Grove is on the way to the high street, and only a short walk from the beach. A lovely stop on a relaxing day out of London.

The food tasted incredible and well presented. I would highly recommend trying the chicken burger. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with beautiful views across the Thames estuary from the rear terrace. The chilled music adds a nice touch to the ambiance. The service was sadly a little slow on our first visit, but the restaurant was extremely busy and perhaps understaffed, but this restaurant deserves a 5 star rating for its great atmosphere, excellent food, and friendly staff. We will certainly be back again to try the new menu!

Beautiful setting for outside dining. Service was lovely but a couple of simple requests were not met. (No beetroot and avocado was missing) Not the end of the world and I’m sure they would have rectified it had we asked. The new ownership seems more relaxed (in a good way).
