Our Food
The Fox & Grapes is loved by locals for many reasons…. not least our fantastic food. Chef Director, Paul Merrett, works closely with our head chefs to produce dishes that bring together the very best of Modern British cuisine often with his trademark Asian twist. Paul & his team deliver the quality produce & attention to detail of his fine dining days but with the relaxed approach of a classic British gastropub.
The Dining Room
A former coaching inn, the dining room at the Fox & Grapes is split in two by a grand central bar. On one side, a large open space with beamed ceilings and an open kitchen, creating a convivial and lively atmosphere and on the other side, a more intimate space delivers a cosy country pub vibe.
British Cuisine with a modern twist
Modern English menus deliver classic favourites such as fish & chips or a great handmade burger alongside exciting innovation such as Roasted hake, caramelised cauliflower, samphire and hazelnuts or 16-hour slow cooked lamb breast. Vegan & vegetarian dishes are a big part of our menu too.
Sunday Roast
Our Sunday lunches are a local legend, with three different roast meats plus a vegan nut-roast always available alongside all the trimmings, cooked to perfection.
Paul Merrett
Paul Merrett is chef director at the Fox and Grapes in Wimbledon and the Jolly Fine Pub Group. In his fine-dining days Paul’s cooking was twice awarded a Michelin star before he found his culinary home in London’s gastropub scene.
Our shopping list
Paul Merrett, Executive Chef of the Fox and Grapes, writes: “Sourcing ingredients for The Fox and Grapes is a big part of my job. I spend a lot of time meeting suppliers, testing new products and visiting farms and producers. I try to shop as seasonally as possible and keep a careful eye on food-miles too.
I am very proud of the suppliers we work with and the quality of the produce we receive. It doesn’t matter how good a chef you are if the produce is not up to scratch.
We often get interest from guests on our sourcing philosophy, so we’d like to share that with you here.”
