Amazing staff! Everyone is very friendly. Dog friendly too which is handly.
Great food options for all, including great vegan and vegetarian options.

We came here after my mother's funeral. The buffet provided was very good. It was fresh and plentiful. It was placed next to the open windows, so flies were a problem. Probably would have made more sense to have had it at the back of the room. Tea and coffee was not offered freely and we had to chase staff for it. The seating arrangements were disappointing as we were all sitting separately and it affected the atmosphere somewhat. The staff were obviously very busy but were friendly and obliging.

Lovely Sunday menu and reasonably priced. Delicious food, great quality, seasonal ingredients and brilliant vegan options. I had the soup, nut roast and orange olive oil cake (tasted much better than it sounds), one of the best vegan roasts I've had in a pub/restaurant. Staff we're very friendly and attentive and service was pretty quick considering it was busy. Will definitely be returning.

I've wanted to visit the Bunch of Grapes for dinner for a while, now. I have previously been here for a real ale and lunch, and it impressed me, so I was determined to try out the main menu.

I visited with my partner on a Wednesday evening after pre-booking a table for 19:00. We arrived 15 minutes early but were promptly seated and offered drinks, to which I ordered the Buwch Goch Gota Red Ale which I thoroughly enjoyed and my girlfriend ordered the Madri excepcional which was also delicious.

We ordered olives (which were the best olives I have ever tasted) and the smoked duck breast starter. The duck breast was beautifully presented and utterly delicious, although the kind of small portion you should expect from a fine-dining establishment. An ideal appetiser to warm up for our mains, which for my girlfriend was the Pastrami sandwich, which we agreed was amazing and that the chips were fantastic. I ordered the 12oz Coffee-rubbed Rump steak, which was cooked to perfection and utterly delicious, and went very well with the rosemary-cooked onion with which it was served.

As sides we had chicken wings which were above and beyond any wings I've had before, in a truly divine sauce, and Pork Belly burnt ends, which may have been the highlight and the most tasty thing we ordered, in an almost obscenely sticky, sweet, dark blood-red sauce, which was used up on those amazing chips once the burnt ends had been fought over to completion.

I consider my evening at The Bunch of Grapes to be the best meal I've had at a restaurant in as long as I can remember and I offer my highest compliments to the extremely talented Chefs that put true passion and art into their work.
Service was very good and very well timed. I will be visiting again and again and cannot recommend enough to everyone I meet.

this is an excellent pub. Staff friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks extensive list including some v unusual (and delicious)fermented non-alcoholic bottles. Menu also extensive, food very well cooked, unusual twists on familiar dishes. Lots of thought gone into combinations; excellent burgers, vegan, vegetarian dishes, freshly booked....conservatory area slightly cold yesterday. Bakery/shop good for last minute Christmas presents for foodies! lots of little rooms. Eclectic mix of customers, drinkers, people playing board/card games, lunchers.....all a really nice experience. Thank you the Grapes.
