Grapeshots Menu Review
2-3 Artillery Ln, Liverpool St, London E1 7LJ, United Kingdom
Nestled just a few steps away from Liverpool Street Station, Grapeshots offers an intimate and charming culinary experience that perfectly blends traditional British pub culture with elevated dining. My recent visit to this tucked-away gem provided a nuanced understanding of what sets it apart from other gastropubs in London.
Menu & Quality
The Grapeshots Menu delivers on both variety and authenticity. Standout dishes include the ale-battered haddock and chips-light, crispy, and golden perfection-and the steak and kidney pie, rich and hearty with melt-in-your-mouth pastry. Each plate demonstrates the kitchen’s attention to sourcing high-quality local ingredients. For vegetarians, the beetroot and goat cheese salad was a refreshing surprise: vibrant, well-balanced, and generously portioned.
???? Drinks & Ambience
Where Grapeshots truly shines is in its drink selection. The wine list is curated with care, featuring both popular European vintages and some lesser-known gems. The cask ales are equally impressive, served at the perfect temperature in traditional dimpled mugs-a rare touch. The interior oozes character, with oak-panelled walls, soft lighting, and a welcoming fireplace that fosters a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Service & Experience
Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. Staff were more than happy to offer pairing suggestions, particularly helpful for navigating the wine list. The entire dining experience felt personalized without being overbearing.
Final Thoughts
While prices are mid-range, the Grapeshots Menu delivers value that far exceeds expectations. It’s ideal for casual lunches, after-work drinks, or even a relaxed dinner with friends. Its combination of excellent food, curated drinks, and historic setting makes it a must-visit in East London.
