Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently single out the Grove as a clean, welcoming community pub with a friendly atmosphere and a wide selection of drinks, including well-kept beers, lagers, and ciders. Many return for the sociable vibe, live music, and events like quizzes, darts, and pool, while several praise the buffets, with one highlighting the quiche as a standout. A few note the outdoor seating uses the car park, a minor drawback. One reviewer describes noisy disruptions from children and dogs on a Friday early evening.

“If you fancy a quiet pint early doors Friday give it a miss. Dogs yelping and in the lounge? Kids dumped at pub to run around wild shouting and throwing drinks about whilst the parents get on with their drinking. It has got worse so thanks but no thanks I'm off.”
- janet luxton

“My favourite place to go, and do often! Very well run, very clean and I’ve never felt I’ve wasted a penny. I can’t recommend It highly enough. A good mix of ages and very welcoming for all. If you haven’t visited then do so !”
- Helen Jackson
“I visited The Grove for the first time recently, I was greeted warmly by the landlady, landlord and their staff. There was an very good atmosphere. Prices for drinks were very reasonable with a good choice. I went back the following weekend and my first experience wasn't a one off! I'll definitely will be visiting again soon!”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
