Love this place always welcoming, staff are very nice and smiling. The fish and chips are the best and even better you are able to order a small portion if required
Great food & service for lunch today, Gluten information was very good, in particular salt & pepper squid was superb! ��highly recommend.
The best Sunday lunch we've had for a long time. Bothe the lamb and beef was fantastic. Not cheap but you only get what you pay for. The staff were very efficient and friendly. All in all a great place to visit.
Thanks Peter & Ange
Always love it and think the food is only bettered by the service and management.
Fiona the waitress is always amazing and knows how to treat customers. Karen the manager is why the place is so popular.
Some great staff over the years.
Silly complaints on here - places always have days when things can go wrong and that is why you go back. The Grove gives new staff a chance and they are often soon fab at their job. We all need a chance.
Never a disappointment. Nice staff, good food and a great location & even dog friendly like a proper pub should be. Highly recommended.
The Grove Lock is a fine pub in a perfect location. Watch the narrow boats on the canal with some top quality food and a decent pint. 10/10.
Service is always good with friendly and helpful staff. Food is freshly cooked. In winter there is always a fire going and in summer plenty of space to sit outside beside the canal and enjoy the sunshine.
What a glorious upmarket pub located on a lock on the Grand Union hotel near Leighton Buzzard. The food and beer selection is comprehensive and there are several places to eat, a lovely terraced wooden barn structure as well as tasteful interior dining and al fresco as well. There is a cozy gas log burner in the main restaurant and exquisite scale models of narrow boats on display. What particularly impressed me are the gorgeous prints of narrow boats in an abstract form, some possibly linotype or pen and ink. The toilets were beautifully tiled in an Edwardian style. The staff were charming and if you want to enjoy a nice Sunday roast don’t hesitate to visit this establishment
Marvellous! Popular pub next to Grove Lock. Good selection of real ales and wines. Easy comfortable atmosphere in the pub. Only thing I found was that over three visits, the staff were a bit too intense. But well worth a visit!
Lovely pub with very friendly and helpful staff. Food is basic and a little pricey, but the atmosphere is great with open fire and dog friendly too. Situated on the side of the canal and plenty of outdoor seating for when the weather is good.
Beautiful building. Amazing friendly staff and the food was perfect. No issues at all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lovely afternoon, delicious Scampi and chips, a view of the canal and great service from Chelsea. Perfect Sunday afternoon
Lovely canal pub. Very busy ( Friday evening), but still managed a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Staff are friendly,polite and attentive without being pushy. The food was very good for above average pub fayre and well presented without being pretentious. Fair selection on the menu and reasonably priced.
Very nice pub with a chilled vibe. Just went for drinks but keen to try their Sunday roast as the plates passing us looked good. Definitely book in advance if you want a table on the weekend.
First ever time having visited this pub was a brilliant choice for what its worth I would say yes food quality was absolutely unreal like I had ordered a starter Crispy squid was absolutely unreal and Hummus to share which was a great start and then for mains I ordered Fullers Battered fish and chips and wow for what you pay its worth it.
My other friends had ordered pies and burgers etc.
Friendly environment in the pub, Dog Friendly too as I seen someone who had their dog in the pub.
The reason why I have given 4 stars is because the service was bit slow and disappointing, whether if its to do with staff shortage god knows but we had booked our table in advance.
3 of the orders which were amended at the time of ordering were not made correctly *instead of Mash had asked for Chips*
They immediately went and got chips for those individuals.
I would definitely visit again to try other things off the menu.
Only stopped for wine & a couple of beers. wine was fine… actually…. This pub has a lovely pinot wine. Sat by the canal on their benches. Staff friendly. Would love to visit for food.
Only down side (which was not the pubs fault) was some customers had left their old rubbish like fag ends & cigarette boxes on the grass, made it look unsightly.
Beautiful location.
Great selection of drinks here and a beautiful outside area and garden seating along the canal! They served Tarquins Cornish Gin which I absolutely love but you don't see in this area very much so that was a lovely surprise!
Just a wonderful fab place with brilliant staff...
Another visit, today, meal for seven.. and fantastic again..
So, back today Aug 24, and a lovely Monday afternoon meal with friends...
👍
Loved it. Not been here for a few years. Outdoor eating area has been improved and because of the good old English weather plenty of under cover seating
Amazing location. Very idyllic. I only give 3 stars for the food because I always find the menu very lacking and untempting. However, what we did have was actually cooked well. But then again, that should be the case for anywhere selling food ! Staff are all friendly and attentive. Lots of smiles.
Nice pub beside the canal with plenty of parking space, outdoor seating, and a good choice of beers. Food is typical pub fare but quite well done.
Feels like you're in the country when just outside town.
Don't normally leave reviews, however after a visit today with my mam. I honestly have to say what a fantastic environment and amazing food.
I spoke to the gentleman, I assume one of the owners. But so kind and caring to his customers, and hearing him talk to other customers around me.
If I'm ever back that way in the country I will definitely revisit. If your in the area, especially in the sunshine. Go get your self a table by the lock. Amazing
Great pub with awesome staff. Recommend getting a table on the upper mezzanine to get a view over the canal.
Easy parking outside and usually busy at the weekends so would recommend booking a table if you’re in a larger group.
Very nice pub first time visited this pub a great choice!! The food quantity was great value for money will comeback again soon!!😀
