Chiswick, Mediterranean Restaurant Guide

A “top pub garden” is the trump card of this handsome, green-tiled tavern on the Chiswick-Acton border, and it’s backed up by “super-attentive service, great food” and “a lively buzz”. It’s been “consistently good” in its current guise for more than 20 years.

“The mixture of tapas and pizzas works well for a family meal” at this handy local on the edge of Bedford Park in Chiswick, where “the ambience is nice, particularly out on the terrace on a warm evening”. If there’s a complaint, it’s that standards can be “a bit hit ’n’ miss”.
