Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Wimbledon Pale Ale battered fish & chips

Fish in a batter made with Wimbledon Pale Ale, with chips, mushy peas, tartare and lemon. The pub classic with the local beer.

From The Fox & Grapes's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

The Fox & Grapes

Gastropub · British · Wimbledon

9 Camp Road, London SW19 4UN

A gastropub on the edge of Wimbledon Common, with a real kitchen behind the bar, its own beef dripping and fish battered in the local ale. Fish and chips after the Common.

We'd add

Homemade beef dripping, sourdough toast

The pub's own beef dripping on toasted sourdough with house chutney. With the first pint.

Same plate, other kitchens

Sunday roast: which one?

The Fox & Grapes and 3 others in London all lead with it. What sets each apart, and who it suits:

    This kitchen

    Beef drippingWimbledon · Menu checked Oct 2026

    Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and gravy from a kitchen that dry-ages its own steak.

    Pick it if your roast follows a walk on the Common; walk-ins are tough after sunny days, so we'd book.

  • CureCamberwell · Menu checked Sep 2026

    Butchery-led: beef or pork from their own in-house butchery, with gravy, charcuterie and potted pork from the same meat.

    Pick it if you're in south London and want the most meat-focused roast of the four; the roast is worth booking.

  • Suet crustIslington · Menu checked Oct 2026

    Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding in a Barnsbury dining room whose pies are made in-house.

    Pick it if you're in north London and want a garden table when the weather holds; worth booking.

  • Brentford · Menu checked Oct 2026

    Roast meat and Yorkshires from a freehouse that reworks pub classics in-house — the roast locals queue for, with serious cask and keg.

    Pick it if you're in west London, the beer matters as much as the roast, and pub pacing suits you.
