WELCOME TO THE SPRING GROVE

The Spring Grove has been at the heart of Kingston and Surbiton’s community since 1896.

We still only serve the finest cask-conditioned ales, as well as craft beer, award-winning wines and a wide range of premium spirits. As the seasons change, so do our menus and we’re proud to serve the best British classics, Sunday roasts and using ingredients that are seasonal and local.

The Spring Grove is pleased to be a dog friendly pub, and just a short stroll from Fairfield Park, we welcome all well behaved two-legged and four-legged friends.

With plenty of nooks, we’re here if you want to grab drinks with your mates, or if you want to host a party or event. Book your table now to ensure the cosiest spot the house.

Rebecca and the team look forward to welcoming you!.

A quiet lunch time. Maybe only 3 customers - and an odd smell in the pub on arrival.. so there's very little in the way of atmosphere. However food was delicious and they were generous enough to supply extra pickles so what's not to like!

Absolutely stunning Sunday Roast, everyone’s food was delicious and my vegan Wellington was the best one I’ve ever had , the beetroot filling made it a less hefty affair. Highly recommend

Amazing pub! Been here twice now and loved it both times. Fantastic layout and furnished beautifully so that you feel really comfortable, I could have stayed for hours. I had some Proper job and it tasted just as great as when I was last here 3 years ago. Can tell they look after their beers. Food is great too, I had sausages today and wish I'd asked where there butcher was, delicious. My great grandad used to run this pub in the 1940's & 50's, although I never met him I'm sure he'd be proud of how good this pub is today.

Ask anyone when walking around Kingston what their favourite pub is, and while their special places may vary, a vast majority will say the "nicest" is The Spring Grove. Off the main road that connects Kingston to Surbiton, round the back of the University is a quaint area that doesn't look like it belongs. Old shop fronts - a bakery, an offy, a church, terraced houses, a sort of rural calmness prevails. First discovered on a crawl a few years back, it won me over with their gigantic garden (heated and covered), which is amazing when not resembling a crèche. On repeated visits, the snug was a prime viewing spot for the weekend football, no longer showing, due to lack of interest and an ownership change. Which is a shame. But nothing is too much trouble for the staff who work here, a refreshing positivity that we all sorely need. It feels like it's split into 4-5 areas, the stunning sky lights dominating the two main restaurant spaces, the booth filled kitchen fronted area usually occupied by swaths of families, and front area with a few TVs taken up by a much more varied crowd. It used to get full on weekends, but I've not seen it too busy for a while. Beer wise it's the usual Young's suspects. Young's Ales and Neck-Oil on tap seem to be the go-tos mixed among the macro lagers. Hepcat is a nice addition, as well as a varied alcohol-free range. The Spring Grove was probably responsible for over half my consumed Neck Oils a few years ago, which now seem to mostly taste like soap wherever I go. Food, it's pub fare but very good. Proper hefty portions, filling and tasty. Christmas day menu was a belter when we were still mid-covid. I could bang on for days about the pigs in blankets in yorkshires. History wise there's not a whole lot distinctly notable, but it's still *old*. The venue itself dates back to 1896, as part of the Spring Grove estate developed by Mr Palmer Porter, designed as an area with affordable homes for those working in Kingston. There's a real community feeling here that is written about in most references to the area, it does feel like a space with its own identity. Young's have a real talent for making pubs "nice", and this is one of the nicest. Despite the majority of this review being adapted from over a year ago, I still love coming here, and recommend you do too if you're in the area.

What a beautiful place, l am struck by the decor and atmosphere of the building, bright, beautiful and spacious. I can't believe after all these years l haven't ever been in! My loss really, met up with my friends and enjoyed the lamb. It was nice sitting and catching up after only ever communicating via zoom. It is an experience you don't get on zoom calls. Great food, great service, fabulous place. Xx ❤️
