The service was the worst I have experienced in a London bar for a very long time. I will not be returning and would not recommend this very empty bar/restaurant to anyone.
Don't bother.
On entering the restaurant we were seated in a noisy corner. The food was overpriced and not nice. I'm not a generally a fan of anywhere that forces the set menu on you (£30 for 3 courses, £25 for 2) and then makes you pay for all the sides you have to order to make your meal anything more substantial.
The starters were all about the presentation - certainly not about substance, or indeed taste (mackerel and soup). The mains (steak and cod) were just that. A slab of steak and a slab of cod. If you wanted anything else e.g. a few wilted salad leaves or rock-hard, burnt chips, then you paid for it. Not that it bothered the manager when we pointed them out.
Luckily the company we were with was fantastic although we would probably have had just as much fun in McDonalds. And at least you know the chips there wouldn't be burnt.
Service here is truly appalling. We waited about 20 ,minutes to order at which point we were told that two starters were unavailable. WE waited another 25 minutes for the starters to arrive- my quail was raw in the middle and had to go back- it came back five minutes later- frazzled from being stuck under the grill on one side and still BLOODY on the other. Our mains arrived and the sides came five minutes later. I have been here once before and the service was awful then too. I went back because a friend had booked to take some friends out. My heart dropped. The general consensus was that this place is awful- I'm also hoarse toady from having to shout over the club classics that pump from the bar (I like a good club tune- in a club not a restaurant) Avoid this place- go to Trinity across the rd, Or Entree on Battersea Rise- even the pubs in the old time are far better than this. Awful, awful, awful. P.s. disgusting loos too- one of the urinals taped up...
Had an awesome night out last week at Grafton HouseSpend my night in the lovely garden sipping on champagne and cocktails they were yummy!!!There is a wonderful nice good feeling and I will be back again for my summer get togethers with my friends Great location and good food
First time at Grafton House and it was easy to get to . Clapham Common Tube station not far to walk and nice you can be away from the crowds in London
A nice restaurant with a lot of class. We were greeted to our table by Kathryn and we had a starter of English Asparagus and Cured salmon which was amazing with fresh produce.
For mains we had the Ribeye which was cooked to perfection and Grilled Lemon sole .
Compliments to the New Head Chef Dave and his team who are amazing.
We had coffees and then later we decided to have drinks in the bar and they have a DJ Band who plays on a Friday night.
We ended our evening on a wonderful high
I went to Grafton House on Saturday night. We started in the bar where we had amazing Cocktails and then as the night was so beautiful we made our way to the Garden and we had an amazing time what a heaven in the middle of Clapham
A DJ was playing music and all in all we had the most awesome night out
The staff were so friendly and excellent service.
Its is a local we will be returning to again and again
I dont usually write reviews on anything but had a lovely time out at Grafton on Friday. Enjoyed the venue and the music and the drinks. Well reasonable priced and nice atmosphere. Not a bad way to wind down the week
Had a pleasant experience dining at Grafton on the weekend. As we had never been there we were quite suprised at the venue and we left not disappointed. The menu had a lot of nice British produce . The steak was cooked to perfection and the salmon the others ate was amazing. We all had the lemon tart which was one of the best we have tried.
Jana our waitress was amazing. She couldnt do enough for us and we saw the whole restaurant was looked after . We had a lovely experience and we are now booking at Grafton again in the next few weeks
