We have been to the Grove Ferry Inn for years, decided to go their on Saturday 26th May to have lunch in the lovely surroundings by the river. Found a table easily enough (which was surprising), the only food that was on offer was the BBQ (4/5 choices e.g burger, cheeseburger,chicken burger all for £6.00 which we thought was expensive)...

Evening meal disappointing; 3 out of 4 of our first choice meals not available as was the bottle of wine. One pizza served raw... More
