About Us:
This stunning example of Victorian architecture has stood as a haven from the hustle of Balham High Road since 1877. We have recently had a makeover making the pub feel cosy and elegant. The bar offers quirky rums and tequilas, spirits distilled using historic methods, an expertly compiled wine list and a range of real Ales. We are a local pub with warm friendly customers and staff, if you are looking to work somewhere with high quality, fun, high standards, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, the Grove is for you.
