Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

We began in 1964. It was the time of the Beatles and Rolling Stones and an air of great fun. Anything seemed possible, it was the Sixties! Grumbles was the first restaurant in London with a silly name!

In the early days as we rushed around the tables, we hardly had time to notice the faces of the likes of Beatles, Mamas and Papas, Julie Christie, Michael Foot, Christine Keeler, Ian le Frenais, Rod Steiger and so many many more as well as Jane Lapotaire sometimes helping with the Founder Jeremy Friend washing up!

Grumbles and its customers have been such a winning combination for over 60 years and we thank you for all your support.

Really fabulous and everything we hoped it would be. We’ve just moved to Pimlico and had heard all about this local treasure and were really looking forward to visiting and it was just our cup of tea. Now that we live here it’s sure to be a firm favourite. Great menue, great service great ambience. We feel very lucky to have Grumbles on our doorstep.

A very nice 3 course menu. This was the first time I had invited some friends to the restaurant: which I have previously visited several times. Unfortunately, the carrots/parsnips arrived at the table cold and had clearly been microwaved. I mentioned this to the staff but beyond a reassuring comment nothing was done. Apart from that that, we enjoyed the evening.

A group of us meet regularly for lunch- and where do we go? We always go to Grumbles. Its a lovely place. Good food and drink and great place for a chat - without being deafened by spill over noise.
