The Fox and Grapes - London

On our first day in London visiting our son, his wife, and their new baby, we took them to lunch at the local pub in Wimbledon, The Fox and Grapes. We enjoyed two bottles of Gobelsburger Gruner Veltliner Dry 2010 LössTerrassen Kamptal from Austria. For starters, we had avocado prawn cocktail for £9.50 ($18), foie gras and grape terrine with date purée toast for £6.00 ($11.40), and a charcuterie platter for £12.50 ($23.75). For our mains, we ordered the English beer-battered haddock with triple-cooked chips and mushy peas for £14.50 ($27.55), and a shepherd's baby leaf salad served with...

A great discovery during the hot days of August. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you to the team at Fox Grapes for excellent service and delicious food. The steak was cooked perfectly to order, and the haddock was a generous portion. The burgers were also top-notch.

It has been a few years since my last visit to the quaint town of Forty Exact. I used to frequent the common land, and the F G was always a convenient stop on the way back to college. I recently spent a pleasant lunch there on a rainy day. I had the beef and linguine, which was just what I needed - hearty and warm, but not overly heavy. It brought back memories of simpler times, when dining out felt more intimate and less commercial.

Went for a weekend walk around wimbledon common, but needed a bit susceptibility on the way. I was recommended to spend the hand in hand or the fox grapes when I was ready to spend a little more. Finally, the fox grapes were the one we took (both literally and metaphorically). it was a bit more pricier than normal, but eating was a quality to fit. I chose the squid and triple boiled chips. the squid was perfectly broken, and while the three-fold boiled chips were not as good as others I tasted, the muddy heaps were excellent. the positive noise from the other side of the table suggested that the burger was also quite good!

Wondered in there for much needed refreshment while in the area for a meeting, glad I did. Bar staff were immediately welcoming and attentive. A bright open feel to the restaurant and bar (even in the low ceiling bar part, good work) with a varied selection of drinks that are well displayed and make for a nice focal point. The quality of drinks and service was fantastic, made to feel very welcome. I didn't try the menu but a friend had the sea bass and was extremely impressed. To top it off the whole place was immaculately clean. Highly recommended.
