Really varied menu & all home-made, I had the duck stir-fry which was amazing & my Mum had the thai red chicken curry, you can tell that they have really thought about the flavours that go together. Both had just the right amount of kick without overpowering the dish. Unfortunately neither of us had any room for one of their... More

Booked a table for our Dads 65th Birthday and retirement, and the staff were very helpful in the special arrangements we had organised. Very friendly and great service with a smile on the night, making for a memorable evening. Food very good except the prawns which a few were disappointed with. But otherwise faultless with wonderful pâté and burgers especially... More

Almost on my doorstep, since moving to the area, I have visited The Grove on several occasions including breakfast, lunch, early evening & late evening meals. The personal, attentive service from staff is fabulous and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Regardless of how busy they appear to be, I am amazed how well the tables are managed. I... More

Another fab meal at this lovely restaurant. The Father's Day menu wasn't vast but had all the right options. Classics like the Chop Salad (best salad in town) were still available whist special Father's Day favourites were added. I went for the roast fore rib of beef as did 2 of my other dining partners whilst the fourth went for... More

On visiting the Grove for midweek lunch of which I was looking forward to. Having been before and had excellent food. Without going into detail I found the overall standard of the food I ordered. Very poor for the money they charged . Management did wave charging me for this.thus this is not point I was making and did leave... More

Thank you for your review and whilst we are obviously very sorry that you did not enjoy your meal yesterday, every effort was made to rectify the situation at the time. Our waitress initially checked on you after you had been given your meal and said that you were expecting the Chicken Pain Bagnat to come with ciabatta bread. This... More

Had a gorgeous breakfast - both the mini - break(fast) and the full English were plenty big enough and very well cooked. If you can get a table on the terrace you will be amazed by the views

I have been here a few times and never been disappointed. I went early evening with my youngest daughter, it was super. We both had the burger, simple but delicious, made to order and absolutely hit the spot. The service was excellent and the lady owner was absolutely delightful. I have just joined their club and will ensure I will... More

Sadly my latest visit to The Grove fell well short of my previous experiences. The service was terrible (very nice girls) but the first rule of waitressing - never make a trip empty handed - seemed to go by the wayside. We waited ages to order and then weren't allowed to order food the same time as our drinks. Then... More

Having deliberated over how to celebrate my birthday decided on a private party at The Grove. It was a fabulous night, Louise and Delvin were extremely helpful in helping to plan and after the event many people have commented on the venue, the fantastic food and the friendly staff. A great place for a private party.

Lovely place to visit. I took my elderly mother for a Sunday meal here last week-end and they made us very welcome indeed and had a lovely experience. The restaurant resembles a lovely Mediterranean Bistro style and has a great outdoor decking area over looking the Leigh Estuary which is brilliant on a lovely sunny day. The service was friendly,...
