Friday Night Dinner: The Grove Tavern
We walked to the Grove Tavern, situated on the corner of a street with a few other shops, cafés, and another restaurant. When we arrived there were a few people having a pint, and a few other people eating. We were shown to our seats in a near-empty part of the dining room.
It being a pub, it does pub food. And it does it rather well.
While waiting for our mains, we first enjoyed some crispy halloumi, dressed in honey and chilli. They were a little crunchy and sweet. My wife had the Onglet steak, which she said was better than the steak at Rail House Victoria. It came with some good chips, a mushroom, and a peppercorn sauce. I enjoyed the Fish & Chips. It was a good portion with a light, but not whimsical, batter. Besides it were the usual accompaniments: tartare sauce, chunky chips, and some mushy peas. The latter I thought were a little too watery.
With our meal, we also shared a bottle of a Paraíso Sur viognier from Chile.
We didn't fancy any of the desserts, and instead we ended up for some dessert wine at The Brackenbury Wine Rooms at the other side of the terrace. Their menu looked good too, so that might become a further review.
The Grove was cosy and welcoming, and it fits in well as a neighbourhood pub with decent food.

WTF does that need an `utm_source` for?
I sometimes wish cache expiries could be fuzzy, like 900±15 seconds. Y'know, to prevent the thundering herd effect.
