  • Café Grove

    Budget choice
  • In an effort to rein in the hyperbole, we will say that we can think of one downside to an evening spent dining at Café Grove – a meal there does serve to encourage gluttony of the highest order. A steaming bowl of borscht made for the perfect starter. We followed that with pierogi that were little parcels of discovery – some filled with potato, some sauerkraut, some meat or cheese – and each of the discoveries was a happy one. Ordering from an ample specials board provided the greatest treat of all: golonka (stewed pork knuckle) was exceptionally tender and tasty, served with an enormous pile of chips and veggies, all for less than £7. Our advice: come with an empty stomach, then try to fill it.

    The service can be a bit erratic, but is usually good. The food was, until recently, excellent and extremely good value. It's gone down a bit in the past couple of months (the pancakes used to be superb, the best I've ever had, but they've gone a bit stodgy and undercooked. Wonder if there's a new chef?) Still, it's well worth a try.

    I have eaten there before and I have to say that the food was quite nice. However last Bank Holiday Monday I did not even get to try their cuisine as I left before ordering. We were made to wait 35 minutes (!!!) for a waitress to take our orders. And it was not even busy! I understand that the kitchen might get busy at times but surely someone could have come and at least offer some drinks. Upon arrival we were given menus by a waitress and I informed her that we would sit downstairs, after waiting for some 35 minutes we just left hungry.
