Were it not for the stark contrast between Newstead's beautifully rehabbed exterior (including the titular tower, which someone should adopt as the logo of the Grove's resurgence before I copyright the idea) and the generally shabby state of its surroundings, you might imagine it as a place where two or three generations of neighbors have met for a pint and a bite to eat.
This week I visit Newstead Tower Public House, the new gastropub from Anthony Devoti, the chef and owner of the bistro Five. Check back here tomorrow to see what I think.
