Worth the wait. Make sure you double check your reservation. There were empty tables, but they do not take walk ins as there is only a certain amount of food prepared depending on reservations.

We were able to order promptly and our food came out in an expected amount of time. There is a bit of a time limit for stays because they are so busy, but we didn't feel rushed at all.

The poached egg cooked to perfection. The salmon fresh , and the English muffin good. I still prefer Thomas'. Haha. All in all a great breakfast, outstanding service and a truly charming place.

So when I was strolling down the highstreet in the early morning, feeling pretty famished, I was delighted when Bill's caught my eye. I thought I'd found a gem and sure enough I had. It is very understated from the front, I actually had to do a double take to see that Bills served brekie. Inside Bill's has a qwerky British/italian vibe with welcoming staff. The menu was great they offered everything from tea and toast to a Full English and Eggs Benny. I chose the Full English and it was lush. The food is far from a greasy spoon and more what you'd expect from a boutique breakfast cafe. I havent seen the lunch or breakfast menu. But I assume they are equally as tasty. I hope to return soon to give them a try!

The decor probably looks the same everywhere but it is kind of cute in a quirky way. It feels like a bit of a maze but also kinda hides the amount of space it has. Luckily we booked a reservation for dinner as the couple ahead of me would have to wait about 30 minutes. My friend and I ordered a bottle of the Rose fizz. It was nice to have strawberries wedged into the side of the glass and have a huge tin as a chiller. I likey. I ordered the chicken skewers with a side of sweet potato fries. The chicken was deliciously cooked and seasoned and really liked the tzaziki dip. The pita was a bit tough but didn't really have much of that. I really liked the sweet potato fries. This is exactly how I like it. I usually don't order dessert but feel that I've been working out pretty hard and the warm mini doughnuts just had to be done. It comes with a side of melted dark chocolate and fresh strawberries. Dangerous... I might have to come here once a week for this. They came out freshly fried and the chocolate was oozing with goodness. Semi-sweet so I would cut my doughnut in half and slather the chocolate around it. Only 2 small strawberries to dip into the chocolate but none the less really enjoyed it. The service was really good. Attentive and not too stuffy. I'll definitely be coming back regularly.

It was a rainy day so it was just me and this other family having tea. When they left they left the shop owner Pam and I were just vibing. She was so nice and welcoming.

After a long day at work, I trekked down the quiet side of Chiswick to Thames road for a late bite. I was seated upstairs amidst couples and groups of friends, next to a corner fireplace. From this vantage point I could see the entire upstairs dining area. Candles and roses are on every table and the decor is eclectic yet romantic - a love theme. Annie's shepherds pie (a special on my first visit) and a side of broccoli hit the spot. A few nights later I tried a more basic fish and chips, plus a pear, green bean, and shallot salad. The fish was flakey and battered perfectly - not the sloppy pub stuff you find elsewhere. The salad was refreshing. Finally, I've also enjoyed the halloumi burger. It's thick and well-executed. Substitute sweet potato fries or a vegetable for the chips if you want something a little more nutritious. Despite arriving just before closing time on most of my visits, the staff is always helpful and enthusiastic. Even on cool nights, the heat from the kitchen warms the upstairs, so be ready to de-layer if you're dressed for the cold. It's cozy! The love theme extends to your post-meal survey card, which reminds me of Valentine's cards kids give out in school. Maybe the love theme explains why I fell in love with Annie's.

I stumbled in flanked by the missus and the boy as I was a little unsteady due to a hefty Saturday night. The sun was out, the windows and doors were open and the place was heaving but the effect was totally soothing. Bare brick, lots of flowers and nick-nacks. Really homely. Just what you'd expect from this lovely little corner of London set on one of the most beautiful parts of the river. A beer downed in one to help me read the menu. And the menu was just made for my state. Perfect comfort food. Prawn cocktail to start. One beautiful quality, big, meaty, sweet prawn and lots of crayfish underneath in a not too sickly rose marie sauce. And most important of all, ultra crisp lettuce and lots of it. Followed by roast chicken dinner. Bright veg, unctuous gravy and probably the best roasties I've had in one of these roast lunch efforts. They are usually a bit of a disappointment aren't they? It's not easy to hide the ills of an old warmed up roastie. But these ones were wonderfully crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. My belly thanked me as the starch kicked in and soaked up the last of yesterday's transgressions. Pudding? Of course. It's a hangover. I had a cherry bakewell tart. Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good ones and so do this lot. The boy had a tasty hamburger and chips and the missus had the roast lamb. We shared obvs. The lamb came with excellent home made mint sauce. These are the little touches you want from a great local restaurant. It was all washed down with plenty of wine and lemonade and the bill was shy of £80. Worth every penny. The food is cooked with love and served with joy. But ambience is the real key. Light and airy on a summer's day. Warm and cosy on a winter's night. It's the type of place that's going to make a nearby resident a regular. Such friendly service and such a well run place. Such pretty surroundings. We're a couple of miles down the road but we'd cross oceans to come back. Or the Thames at least.
