Lyon born chef Claude Bosi of Hibiscus fame is branching out from his sought-after Mayfair eatery, with Wimbledon gastropub, Fox & Grapes. The new venture is a collaboration with brother Cedric and former sous chef at Hibiscus, Patrick Leano. Cedric previously ran Claude's former pub, The Bell in Yarpole - nearby the village of Ludlow where Hibiscus itself was born. Patrick has worked with Claude's team for two years and was previously with Eric Chavot at The Capital in Knightsbridge.

The Fox & Grapes is dedicated to cooking the very best of what's in season and has just won Menu of the Year at the 2011 Catey's Awards (the highly prestigious food industry Oscar equivalents).

Paul Bonner and other residents have kindly taken these photographs of the pub before the refurbishment, and during.
