There was only one person serving behind the bar and one person serving food. The bar was completely littered with empty glasses. We have visited the grapes a few times in the last few months, we like the atmosphere and the food is really good. We asked why there was a lack of staff and the answer was that the brewery would not give enough hours to potential future staff to make it worthwhile to work at the Grapes. We watched people leave when they noticed that there were upto six people waiting to be served and there was a one and a half hour wait for food. We find this disgraceful. MITCHELLS AND BUTLERS need to address the way the run this pub/restaurant before they lose all thier customers to another pub/restaurant three hundred yards away (The Nags Head) The manager worked really hard to keep the customers happy but we felt the pressure on him and the only person serving food was too much.
A generic chain pub, lacking real ale (Doom Bar only, plus lager, John Smiths, gin, cocktails, etc) and offering typical fare, including jerk chicken skewers, various nacho flavours, fish and chips, mixed grill. Experience was elevated by a friendly server, Jacqui, who arranged a bowl of chips while waiting, even though they were short staffed. Free parking and easy access.
Meal for 12 booked, kitchen very busy so delay on food but staff continually communicated with the party. Excellent service, lovely meal & very reasonable prices. Really pleased with all aspects. Will defo come again
Staff were friendly and polite. The food was amazing! Restaurant standard . I has seasoned salmon with rice . It was freshly cooked not microwaved like a lot of pubs . I will definitely be coming back on a regular basis
Started eating here after receiving a 40% voucher off main meals. Have to say I was seriously surprised at how fantastic the food was and the hospitality. Highly recommend the grapes . We've been there 3 times this week .
