About Grapes

Classic, Victorian pub with quirky decor on a corner site, with Thai dishes served upstairs.

High ceilinged bar hidden away in a corner of Shepherd Market. There is a hunting theme, with taxidermy round the walls. Raised seating areas by the windows and summer seating outside. Licensed in 1742 as the Market Coffee House and renamed some forty years later then rebuilt in 1882. The pub is in a tourist area and can become crowded in popular hours and you may have to drink in the roped-off area outside.

There is a Thai restaurant upstairs, but in addition the pub food menu includes various English pub classic dishes, and a lunch deal.

    This was a good meal. We had bangers and mash and steak and ale pie and a couple of good IPAs. The steak and ale pie wasn’t actually a pie but a bowl of the steak with the flaky bit on the top.

    Relaxing pub in Sheppard's market, nice surroundings with outside Seating. Very fast service and good beers on tap.

    It’s a nice pub, but they did last call at 11p and kicked us out at 11.20 and refused to give us even a plastic glass to carry our drink at 11.20. By the time they served us we had less than 10m to drink our beers and they were angry at us for asking for plastic cups to finish our drinks!

    A group of us visited Ye Grapes for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. The pub is located in a little square off Piccadilly and was roughly a five minute walk from Green Park tube station. I had made a reservation online a couple of days before and received confirmation that our party of 7 could be accommodated. We got there early for a couple of drinks in the bar before going upstairs to the restaurant. The main reason why I booked Ye Grapes was because they had both British and a Thai menu, so everyone was happy. I must say that after reading some of the reviews, I was a little apprehensive…
