The pub itself and the staff were excellent. However, we all felt the menu was a little odd and we all struggled to find something we liked. My husband had the chicken escalope which he felt was swimming in oil. And infact, was very large too large. It needed to be served with vegetable or a small salad. We all felt the same about this. Who wants a huge chicken escalope an egg and nothing else. Of course you can order more vegetables but this is additional. My friend tried to order vegetables but this was off the menu anyway!
We liked the revamp. Disappointed that several of the meals listed on the menu were not available. Quite a few dishes included clementine which was a bit odd but perhaps seasonal. The chocolate mousse was grainy. My son requested an expresso martini at 9.30pm only to be told that the coffee machine had already been switched off. Don't people order coffee after that time?!
This place has recently been refurbished but even before then staff are helpful and friendly and have twice accommodated my year group of 20 peers for Christmas meals. The food is good. They take allergies into account (options on set menus are amazing but the chef offers to change meals to make them gluten-free/vegetarian etc). Great vibe and again, very friendly staff.
Really disappointed. Given the new chef and refurb we were looking forward to a great Sunday lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food took over an hour to come out, no one communicated with us on the time we were waiting, and when the food came out it was mediocre. Really disappointed.

Excellent food very high standard of cooking and presentation AND the service is great. Massive portions of fabulous food just fantastic. I have eaten in Michelin stared places that were not as good. Treat yourself, it’s so worth it!
food, staff and ambience perfect. The pub ran out of the veggie option and made my partner cauliflower cheese in a pastry tart especially. Absolutely perfect! Becca and her team excelled in every way. We'll done!
First time here and we all agreed that there was a cosy feel to the pub. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Food was great and we look forward to returning.
Spring Grove has upped its game recently. Delicious roast beef and pheasant pies, good Yorkshire puddings and good service. Been the last two Sundays.

Great food, and a beautiful pub, recent remodel which is gorgeous. Would recommend it, and Dan was great behind the bar. Will return!
Good choice of food and fast efficient friendly service. Thanks for finding us a quiet spot midst the Rugby!
