About the Vibe
The Grocer is a solid Young's pub tucked away in Spitalfields Market that punches above its weight for a chain venue. You'll find a buzzing bar area that's perfect for after-work drinks, plus a surprisingly spacious covered terrace that's ideal when the weather cooperates. The Sunday roast is their claim to fame - properly done with all the trimmings - and their spritz selection has been getting quite the buzz lately.

Solid pub with great terrace in Spitalfields
The Grocer sits in a convenient spot within Spitalfields Market, making it a natural stop for shoppers and city workers alike. As a Young's pub, it benefits from the chain's consistent beer selection and reliable food standards, though nothing here will blow your socks off. The interior has that familiar pub feel with a buzzing bar area that gets lively during peak hours, while the real draw is the covered, heated terrace - a rarity in this part of London that lets you enjoy al fresco dining year-round.
The food is solid pub grub - nothing fancy, but the Sunday roast is genuinely good value and properly executed. Their cocktail and spritz menu has expanded nicely, offering some refreshing options beyond the usual suspects. Service tends to be friendly and efficient, though it can get busy during lunch rushes and weekend evenings. It's not a hidden gem or particularly special, but it's a dependable spot that delivers what you'd expect from a well-run pub in a prime location.
