Sous Chef

About us:

Spring Grove has been at the heart of Kingston and Surbiton’s community since 1896.
We still only serve the finest cask-conditioned ales, craft beer, award-winning wines and a wide range of premium spirits. As the seasons change, so do our menus and we’re proud to serve the best British food, and Sunday roasts and use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.
With a number of bookable spots and our sprawling beer garden with two gorgeous huts, we’re the perfect place for birthdays, celebrations of life, engagement parties, weddings and more. Spring Grove is pleased to be a dog-friendly pub, just a short stroll from Fairfield Park.
