The Fox & Grapes is the only independent pub in Wimbledon Village. Modern English menus deliver classics with a twist, from the definitive prawn cocktail to shepherd’s pie made with slow roasted shoulder of lamb. Sunday lunches are a local legend, with three different roasts always available. Friendly and cosy, the Fox is the ideal everyday local, as well as the perfect spot for a celebration lunch or a relaxed dinner. And don’t stop at dinner. Stay for breakfast too, after a night in one of our super-comfy, air-conditioned bedrooms.

Proudly independent since 1888, the Victoria welcomes locals all day. From breakfast after the school run – and must-book brunch at weekends – through lazy lunches and on to the best à la carte dinner around. Expect to find well-loved British favourites at this stylish gastronomic bolthole. But anticipate innovation too – think sea bass with sag aloo and chilli jam. An airy conservatory dining room leads out to a leafy, walled garden, and seven hip hotel rooms carry the pub’s decadent styling to the converted stables out back.
