Balham's best local

We’re a community-focused, dog-friendly Victorian pub nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Balham High Street. Landlady Anna and Chef Mirko have been working hard developing the most amazing food menus, service, atmosphere and team to ensure you, our returning and new regulars, are as proud of our pub as us.

Having been established in 1870, we’ve been a long standing pillar of the local area and have been welcoming the wonderful people who’ve live nearby, for quite some time. With plenty of charity and fundraising efforts taking place, as well as fun events, epic rugby days, and legendary Sunday roasts, we’ve got something for everyone.

From modern pub classics to luxurious lunches, using only the best local British ingredients, our new seasonal menus are packed with exciting dishes from our passionate kitchen team. We also offer tasty vegan and allergen-free dishes, along with light bites and coffee for those busy afternoons when you’re juggling school runs with the kids.

The Grove team are looking forward to having you back for some relaxing afternoons and wholesome evenings at your favourite Balham local.

A Grove Christmas

It’s never to early to book for Balham’s best new pub this festive season. Enquiries are now open and it’s never been easier to book. So, whether you’re looking to organise the office party, or a wholesome sit-down with your nearest and dearest, we’ve got something for you to look forward to.
