Skewd Returns to The Grove Hotel, Hertfordshire
skewd 2025 launch @ The Grove hotel
We were thrilled to be invited to the launch of Skewd’s 2025 return to The Grove Hotel, and we’re happy to report: it’s just as spectacular this year.
Following the overwhelming success of last year’s pop-up, the multi-award-winning Turkish restaurant is back, bringing its bold and modern take on Anatolian cuisine to one of Hertfordshire’s most picturesque settings.
The vibe is vibrant yet refined. Skewd knows how to put on a show. The setting itself, nestled within the Walled Garden, made for an unforgettable dining experience with an aroma of charcoal-grilled meats filling the air, and setting the stage for a fantastic evening.
We had the pleasure of sampling some of Skewd’s standout dishes, including the signature lamb shish—juicy, tender, and packed with flavour—and the delicious mini lahmacun, a perfect introduction to the menu’s rich Anatolian roots.
Resident DJs bring the energy every Friday and Saturday from 7:30pm to 11:00pm, making it a perfect spot for an upbeat dinner with friends or a unique date night. Just a heads-up—outdoor seating is first come, first served, so get there early if you want to dine under the stars.
Whether you’re a Skewd regular or discovering them for the first time, we highly recommend heading to The Grove and experiencing it for yourself. This is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary journey where tradition meets innovation, and we’re so glad we got to be part of the launch.
