After my Christmas dinner yesterday, I thought it would be next year before I would be able to cope with another roast meal. Turns out I was (happily) mistaken!
Excellent food, lovely atmosphere, and friendly staff - what more can you ask for?

Fantastic for Sunday roasts.
This is a great big handsome pub hidden down Balham's residential roads. Great for big groups of people that need feeding or watering.
The friendly staff took our order and delivered some rather scrummy looking roasts for the rest of the group whilst I had a mouthwatering veggie choice of leek and cheese bread and butter pudding (yes, I too was thinking 'what madness is this?!') well, it tasted divine. I could have it again tomorrow and the day after and the day after that. It was so light, very moreish but filled a hole at the same time. Only sad side was that they sent just carrots and cabbage rather than the butternut squash side as promised.
Special mention for the sexy desserts that put such a big dilemma in my head, very happy with my warm brownie with peanut butter panna cotta and salted caramel ice cream. But still acquired food envy at the sight of the steamy sticky toffee pud with butterscotch sauce and honeycomb. Have to go back just for that.
Reasonably priced and great atmosphere, we'll be back!
Beautifully decorated pub in Balham and surprisingly quiet - a real hidden gem. We enjoyed a lovely drink here on the outside terrace and will definitely be back for food inside, the menu looks great!
This is a lovely pub tucked away just off the main road from Clapham South to Balham. As a result it isn't as busy as other pubs in the area, but still has some nice sun-trapping outdoor seating. Inside is equally light and airy with a great skylight capping a beautifully furnished interior. To top it off the Young's pub food and ales offer a great quality choice for both eating and drinking. On this occasion I chose the balham burger which controversially has peanut butter amongst the usual relishes - works for me!
Lovely meals in a gorgeous, relaxed atmosphere.
Had a smashing time at this wonderful pub tucked away in Balham on a Sunday. The grove has a great atmosphere and happy staff ready to assist in anyway possible. The roast however was the highlight of my trip the roast chicken was cooked to perfection and very flavourful. Also big thanks to the management for being so efficient and helpful. Truly had a wonderful time. 😁😁😁
Would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a lovely meal with great service.
We have spent quite a bit of time at the Grove over the BH weekend whilst visiting family in Balham and on Saturday we held a party there for my daughters 21st birthday. We’ve really enjoyed spending time there, the atmosphere is chilled and the staff very friendly, particularly the gorgeous lads from the north-east!
It’s a modern, quirky pub with plenty of space. It’s just off the main road in Balham so doesn’t have the queues at the bar that some of the high st pubs have. We were given a lovely area to decorate and spend time with everyone who came to the party. Got to say the food was just amazing, it appealed to everyone and everyone commented what a fantastic buffet they supplied. They do a normal menu too which looked very nice.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome (dog friendly too) we had the best party. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
Really enjoyable evening at this lovely, relaxed pub. The main reason is down to the excellent service - every person behind the bar and in the kitchen is friendly, helpful, and will go out of their way to help you. I asked for drinks off the menu and they were impeccable in their response and in delivering the finished products, as well as being reasonably priced. Really lovely feel to this pub and we'll definitely come again. Thank you for making us feel welcomd! xx
Beautiful location with outdoor eating options, great starters (including their salmon spread and soup of the day (potato and corn)). Also great range of mains.
The Grove, one of Balham's little secrets, is a brilliant place to chill with beer in hand. A beautiful pub tucked away on Oldridge road. Super staff, a delightful building and great beer. All you can hope for! Very comfy sofas too!
Beautiful cozy bar tucked away in the heart of Balham. Came for the pub quiz that they do on a Thursday night and it was one the most fun quizzes I've done. Lovely Atmosphere and all the bar staff were great vibes!
Really pretty pub inside, light and airy with skylight and well decorated. A pleasure
One of the best roasts we’ve ever had in a lovely British pub. The food was beautifully presented, delicious and a great range of options that caters for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Wonderful vibe and great decor. Will definitely recommend!
Alastair who served us was great perfect balance of leaving us to chat but also check in occasionally. Allergy menu easy to use, Really relaxed nice experience, 👌
Lovely looking pub and lovely staff.
Thanks for being so friendly and if the guys on the bar from today (21st June) see this, sorry I didn't come back to chat again I was super busy and had to head off.
