Service
Pros:
"We had a great experience at our friends wedding party, great service, delicious food and the service, spot on."
"Mangers very helpful and friendly - leant me a phone charger."
"Lovely friendly staff."
"The service was excellent, the staff are really switched on and friendly."
"Excellent service was provided by the young staff."
"The staff were so friendly and brilliant, I wish I’d got their names, they were fun and had a bit of banter but also really knew how to look after us."
"Service was super friendly!"
Cons:
"Took a seat and waited as bar staff took selfies and totally ignored us."
"The service at clearing was friendly, but less so when taking out orders ... so, mixed."
"The food is good, prices quite high but on my visit the service was terrible."
"I said we just wanted a drink and she said rather brusquely 'Sit at the bar.' Didn't feel very welcoming."
"Staff looked hungover, forgot how to apologise, when dropping cutlery."
"Everything tasted bland and deeply average but prices and service did not mirror this."
"Staff very slow, not taking orders correctly."
Food
Pros:
"Good selection of food that tastes great and is not just typical pub food."
"This dog friendly eatery on Wimbledon Common serves great seasonal food, with specials on the board."
"Visited for a Sunday roast. Great venue, lovely atmosphere with a nice level of buzz but not loud, top service, delicious food and drink."
"I have to say that this pub serves the best food in Wimbledon, it’s not even 'pub food', there is such a variety on the menu and it is all seasonal."
"Food was amazing - steak and burger."
"The food was incredible and collectively we nearly ordered everything on the menu due to our varying tastes."
"The food was great especially the sticky toffee pudding!"
Cons:
"Sunday lunch was extremely disappointing! The roast beef was served practically raw as was the lamb!"
"Seriously overpriced for average food."
"Sadly bad experience, with several big organisational issues and a VERY poor breakfast."
"Everything tasted bland and deeply average but prices and service did not mirror this."
"You certainly don't get value for money. Expensive for such small portions."
"The burger was distinctly average and also incredibly small."
"The roast beef was tepid at best and woefully under seasoned."
Ambience & Decor
Pros:
"The decor is classic but much brighter than your typical pub."
"This is everything I love about a modern pub: warm service, lively local atmosphere, good wine program, and delicious hearty food."
"A favourite place of mine as a local to eat and drink in beautiful surroundings."
"Very pretty indoors! Music not overpowering for the conversation."
"Tucked close to Wimbledon Common, the Fox and Grapes is this adorable indie pub. Super cosy vibes, friendly crew, and seriously tasty menu."
"Classy decor, warm and welcoming service coupled with a cosy and welcoming restaurant and bar area, this place takes a lot of beating."
"Love this pub. I love the high ceiling in the main room which makes it feel almost old fashioned barn style and the low ceiling in the other room for dining making it feel more cosy."
Cons:
"Since this once-revered common-side pub has been modernised it's lost most of its charm."
"Bit of a shame to have lost somewhere so characterful and unique in favour of the 'could be any trendy gastro-pub' trend."
"The decor is a bit drab, with not a lot of character."
"It was probably too quiet for my liking."
"Although the pub is lovely and staff are great, the roast is one of the worst I’ve ever had, totally over cooked and over priced."
"Used to love this place but last time we visited the food wasn't great - thrice cooked chips wasn't cooked."
"A little concerned about the attitude to safety with fire exit route blocked with furniture and stock - hopefully all cleared by now."
Value
Pros:
"Impromptu visit for a glass of wine, which was excellent, not only in taste but value."
"It was priced fairly for what we received and next time we are in the neighborhood we will return again."
"The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent quality at a reasonable price."
"The prices wasn't too bad either."
"All in all a lovely place to relax in."
"We've been going for years and strongly recommend."
"The food is outstanding and so is the service."
Cons:
"Lovely venue but hugely over priced."
"Seriously overpriced for average food."
"As a party of 6 who regularly meet for Saturday lunch, this place felt over-priced - £37.50 per head."
"The price of a pint is very steep, also given you are obliged to pay a service charge too."
"You certainly don't get value for money. Expensive for such small portions."
"The prices are unashamedly high."
"However, the dishes were over-priced. We ordered a main, a dessert and a soft drink each. The price came out as £40 per person."
Parking & Accessibility
Pros:
"The manager went above and beyond by going out of his way to purchase and display a parking ticket for our car."
"The property is marketed as having free parking."
"The location was a nice quiet area of Wimbledon Village, an easy 20 minute walk to the centre and train station."
"It’s quite easy to get to, as it’s right by the park and there are a lot of dog walkers/ dogs, as it’s a dog friendly pub."
"It is of course our in the village so be aware it's not a simple walk from the station up the hill."
Cons:
"There are only 2 spaces outside the front of the hotel and they come with restrictions."
"Upon leaving we found attached to our windscreen a parking penalty notice of £130 (£65 if paid early), on our last visit we was informed it was free parking but on this visit they failed to warn us of a change in the circumstances (charges apply)."
"Popped in with my 2 young children whilst on a walk and wanted to sit to have drinks and snacks. Unfortunately it appeared the entire pub had been booked out for a party and they hadn’t seen fit to simply close for the day as we weren’t allowed to sit anywhere and they didn’t have a garden."
