Harden's survey result
Summary
This “good local” beside Wimbledon Common, co-owned by TV chef Paul Merrett (also of the Victoria in East Sheen), does “a great Sunday lunch – and you can take the dog”. Competent staff ensure you get “excellent service even with a big group”; “the only disadvantage is its popularity, which can make for a noisy experience”.
Summary
“A favourite in the Wimbledon Village/Common area!” – this Georgian pub is co-owned by TV chef Paul Merrett and his Jolly Pubs group (which includes the Victoria in East Sheen). Aside from the odd nod to cheaper pub-grub dishes, most of the menu is somewhat more ambitious bistro-style fare.
Summary
“You feel miles away from London” at this Georgian gastroboozer on the edge of Wimbledon Common, which provides “a great atmosphere in very cosy surroundings”. “There’s a more relaxed vibe than when it originally emerged from its old ‘boozer’ days. The staff are lovely, attentive, fun but not over the top, and the food is perfect”.
Summary
This Georgian boozer on the edge of Wimbledon Common is “just what you want from a London ‘village’ gastropub” – “a reliable friendly local, with food that’s a cut above the ordinary”.

Fox & Grapes Restaurant Diner Reviews
"I honestly think Fox & Grapes sets the standard for top end pub food. Everything we had from the menu was exceptional in quality and the wine list is spot on too. Staff are lovely and it keeps a true pub feel even as it’s really there for the food these days. Price wise, I think it offers excellent value for the quality provided and is not at all out of whack with other places in the area"
