About grub!
By day Grub Café and Music Bar is a friendly relaxed café offering delicious simple grub sourced predominately from the local area. We were highly commended in the UKTV Local Food Hero awards in 2008 (South East) and have been nominated for the Sussex Food and Drink Awards 2009/2010 (Best eating our experience). Families are welcomed during the day and to most of our evening events (Comedy and some other performances may not be suitable for the under 16s).
Live acoustic music is on offer every week (check website for listings). We showcase the best of local talent alongside well-established names from the UK as well as artists who are touring from the USA, Australia and Europe. One of our international guests, David Celia from Canada, sums up his music as 'root-rock with a hint of folk wrapped up in a pop package'. This aptly describes much of the music at Grub. As a huge fan of Bob Harris' Radio 2 shows, owner Steven Price has been delighted to host a number of the amazing list of accomplished singer-songwriters and bands that have been played and performed live on his shows.
Our fornightly Open Mic sessions (1st and 3rd Tuesdays) are incredibly popular, booking is recommended if you are hoping to perform. The atmosphere is relaxed & friendly and the crowd are always generous with their support. All ages, experience and genres welcome!
The Grinstock Comedy Club brings a taste of London night life to East Grinstead. The comedy club has proved an instant success and with names such as Holly Walsh, Phil Kaye and Angelos Epithemiou already on the line up, these events will only continue to grow.
Other events have included photo exhibitions (we are currently showing photos from wildlife photographer Gavin Parsons) charity quiz nights (by special request), one man theatre and private parties. Private hire available Sunday to Friday and we have held events as varied as wedding parties, 1st, 30th, 40th 60th birthdays, naming ceremonies, christenings, club meetings & leaving do's.
We are never afraid to try something new! If you have an idea give us a call.
