Café Grove is a real treat. It’s great, home-cooked, Polish food. Portions are big, and the style is authentic. Breaded, spiced minced chicken. Perogis. Blini with goulash. Borscht. Cheese fondue. More types of pork than you could want. All with tasty potatoes, sauerkraut and dill.

They serve breakfast, too, if you want a cheap fry-up.

There are several Polish beers, all manner of spirits, a few wines, and even a cocktail menu on offer. They’ve got several brands of vodka.

It’s a small but cozy place. About five tables for two and two tales for four. There’s a photo exhibit currently on the walls. Service is very friendly, and they’re happy to explain what the Polish dishes are. The food is very cheap for what you get: most main dishes are £8 or less, and you probably won’t be able to finish them. Seriously, this is not “light” eating in any sense of the word.

If you need your eastern European meat-and-potatoes fix, you will not get it any better and cheaper than here at Café Grove.
