The Horse And Groom Clapham

A Riotously Delicious Paella Extravaganza! Oh, dear paella enthusiasts, prepare yourselves for a mind-boggling, taste bud-tickling adventure that will leave you wondering whether you've just stumbled upon a magical culinary wonderland! Behold, for I have had the privilege of devouring the most tantalizing, belly-rumbling, and knee-weakening paella of my existence. As I embarked on this culinary quest, my expectations soared higher than a flock of flamenco-dancing seagulls. The first glimpse of this illustrious dish sent my heart into a flamenco frenzy, beating to the rhythm of saffron-infused harmonies. The vibrant colors painted a picture so lively, it whispered, "Señor/Senorita, your taste buds are in for a rollercoaster ride of ecstasy!" With great excitement, I took my first spoonful, and the symphony began. The rice, a canvas of flavor, played host to a medley of succulent treasures. Each grain soaked up the savory broth like a sponge, rendering it an irresistible magnet for my eager fork. Tender, perfectly cooked seafood mingled with chorizo slices so divine, I swear they were blessed by paella pixies themselves. And the vegetables! Oh, the vegetables! They danced on my palate, adding a touch of freshness that sent me twirling in gustatory delight. But let's not forget the pièce de résistance—those blessed saffron strands! They lent their golden essence to every morsel, turning each bite into a taste explosion that would make fireworks blush with envy. It was as if the paella had received a secret memo from the flavor gods, commanding it to unleash a symphony of tastes that tickled my senses and left me craving more. In the presence of this divine paella, time took a backseat, and I was blissfully suspended in an eternal moment of gustatory nirvana. With each bite, I found myself contemplating the meaning of life, questioning why this delectable dish hadn't yet been declared the eighth wonder of the world. So, my fellow gastronomic adventurers, if you seek a culinary experience that will transcend the boundaries of ordinary existence and catapult you into a realm of pure unadulterated joy, then brace yourselves for this paella extravaganza. Be prepared to surrender your taste buds to a frenzy of flavors, and bid farewell to all notions of restraint. For once you've tasted this paella, your palate will forever yearn for that moment of divine communion. Remember, my friends, life is too short for mediocre meals. Embrace the glorious paella journey, and let your taste buds rejoice in the glory that is this magnificent creation. Viva la paella! Viva el sabor!

Lovely meal. Recommend the paella. Beautiful old pub. Nice atmosphere. Ample car parking service was very good As we arrived early for our booked table our starters we re slow to appear due to the kitchen being extremely busy. However i take this as a recommendation because so many people were there. I will definitely return.

I booked a table yesterday to have dinner with my wife and the experience was excellent from the beginning to the end. We were advised about a new comer to the menu, a 21oz steak you only have to look at the photos to fall in love with. We had a superbly chosen partner, a bottle of a beautiful Italian wine, another recommendation. We couldn't help but to ask for a second one. I would like to thank all the members of the Horse and Groom team for making us feel so welcomed. You'll see us back soon.

Our first time coming here left a very good impression. The service was friendly and welcoming, the dining area was comfortable and had a more intimate feel to it. The food was delicious and the service was faultless. We'll definitely be coming back here again.

Really good country pub with great food and beer.
