About The Grove

The Grove strips the stress out of milestone celebrations and casual pub outings in Surrey Downs with coordinated event rooms and polished table dining. Dedicated planners assemble custom entrance signage, balloons, and room-screen photo slideshows so private parties flow effortlessly without host panic. Out on the deck and across the breezy garden areas, afternoons shift toward crisp pints, oysters, and seasonal sips like the PB&J cocktail. Settle in for cloth napkins, warm bread rolls, and generous plates of slow-roasted pork belly or fresh crab linguine.

  • Stress-Free Milestone Celebrations: Dedicated managers coordinate flexible multi-course options, tailored decor, entrance signs, and slideshow displays across private party spaces.
  • Elevated Pub Dining: Cloth napkins, table service, and warm dinner rolls elevate weekday catch-ups, quiz nights, and group dining beyond typical bistro fare.
  • Sprawling Deck & Beer Garden: Breezy open spaces host weekend live music alongside cold pints, fresh oysters, and monthly cocktail creations.

  • Flexible Catering & Dedicated Coordination

    Dedicated function coordinators manage timing and accommodate bespoke menu requests so guests select their preferred dishes without alternate-drop restrictions.

    The guests could decide which meal they wanted it was not alternative drop. The amount of food was so impressive, no-one I spoke to was still hungry at the end of the night.

Before you head over

Practical tips on planning private functions and group dining at The Grove

  • Supply Slideshows and Media Early for Included Room Styling

    Take advantage of the venue's complimentary setup services by providing your media in advance; staff can run your photo slideshow directly on room screens via USB and provide included balloons and custom welcome signage.

  • Confirm Flexible Menu Choices Without Alternate Drop

    When planning a seated celebration or reception, ask the event coordinator about flexible multi-course selections—the team allows guests to choose their preferred mains on the night without forcing an alternate-drop format.

  • Clarify Course Timing for Group Bistro Bookings

    When ordering across a large group in the bistro, coordinate meal courses with the floor team if you prefer entrees and mains served together, as mixed party orders can occasionally arrive in staggered waves.
