The dinner menu ( at £70/person) includes three courses appropriate to the season ( three or four choices per course). The wine list is robust, and includes a good selection of wine by the glass . While none of it is cheap, there is a lot of art in the food. If I had one small gripe, it would be that the experience is a little on the slow side- dinner was a three hour affair- on the other hand you don't really want to be swilling back your Pomerol as though it were a supermarket Beaujolais on a Friday night.

Great quality food in a nicely decorated restaurand and good deal with their set lunch weekend…read moremenu: 35£ for 3 courses. The lunch started with some parmesan shortbread and truffle cream with chervil. Also Irish soda bread for the table (in house made and delicious). For starters we all went for the charred mackerel, radish, ginger and champagne. Super tasty, one of the best meaty mackerel I have had in a while and the sauce was super fragrant. For mains, I went for the middle white pork (very creative and delicious) and my family went for the Hake and lime sauce (well cooked fish!). And for desserts we all went for the chamomile and apple creme brulee. Sooo goood! Overall the food is classic Irish with a twist! I would highly recommend it for a special occasion

Not usually one to give a Restaurant a poor review but after the afternoon/evening we had at The…read moreWharf I feel it's my duty to warn people about it. Let me start by saying the food was 'OK', nothing to shout about but nice. The small portion size was a a bit of a problem. I was left still hungry after their Roast Rump of Lamb, there were no side dishes. The location of the Wharf is really nice. Just by Teddington Loch so you can watch the boats on the Thames. The dining area is floor to celling glass so everyone gets a good view. The service was absolutely abominable. For want of a better word the waiters were 'snooty' and very unobliging. We were a party of five. Myself and three others arrived first. We were asked weather we wanted to sit at the bar or go straight to the table, so we opted to go to the table. The Waiter then proceeded to put the menu's on the table, walk away and never come back. No offer of drinks while we wait, it took me to get up and get a waiter to be served some drinks. When the rest of our party arrived, exactly the same thing happened. After we finally had our drinks we started browsing the menu. The Waiter then appeared again to tell us the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes so we needed to order now! I enquired later as to why you would take a booking for 5 at a time when the kitchen was about to close and the received the response of "most of our patrons order quickly"....... The final nail in the coffin for the evening was the fact that we were offered no choice of desert and then were rudely ushered off the table so they could clear away. We headed down to the bar and an hour later I noticed the same table was still unoccupied. So avoid the Wharf like the plague. The location at Teddington lock is lovely but you will be treated like you're a nuisance, not a paying customer. I hope this review has help steer you off the idea of having dinner at the Wharf.

If anything it is off the 'main beat' of the High Street, but certainly not out of reach, although it maybe suffers from 'out of sight, out of mind.' The staff are equally friendly and welcoming. On the dot our waiter, introduced himself to us and shows us to our table. The menu reads well, offering a good choice without overpowering you or using foodie 'jargon'. For starters, we had Shetland Island Mussels "Marinière" and had Roasted Rump of Lamb & Rib Eye for our main course which, was done as per our request medium rare. The food was truly out of this world and is a "must have" when visiting this place and goes perfectly with Argentina (Pinot Noir). Overall, food and service was excellent. Our request for a waterside table was graciously accommodated. Service was attentive without hovering. Excellent service!

My wife ordered the 'home-made' salmon fishcakes (who are you trying to fool?) and they were served stone cold inside. After they had been popped back in the microwave, they really didn't taste very good or particularly fresh.

Pleasant enough pub, but for £30 for 2 lunches, a draught cider and a juice, we feel pretty hard done by, and wouldn't even dream of returning...

Several of us had the steak, mushroom and Guiness pie, which was very good with plenty of pieces of steak. This is highly recommended. In contrast, the steak and kidney pudding was rather disappointing, with very little steak in it. Apart from that, all of us were very happy with our food. If you are looking for a pub which serves good pub grub the Holmbush is one for you.

Although there is no party room, there are some great corners with couches for hosting large groups. I've never done it but others have told me it's a great place for such events.

Their full English tastes good to me, exotic as it is to this American, and other items like smoked haddock and salmon are good - the haddock is warm, and very moist and flaky. Try getting that at most American breakfast places. Dinner is more complex, but also has a couple complaints. On the first visit, I had the plaice, which turned out to be a crab mousse, wrapped in plaice fillets, and then wrapped again in pancetta, served atop some pickled fennel and spinach. The place/crab/pancetta was good, but a little dry. However, none of the flavors overwhelmed each other. It would have been easy for the ham to be too much or the crab to be too strong. It just didn't live up to the plaice I've had in Iceland (although, I probably shouldn't expect it to). The spinach was...not rinsed. Very sandy/gritty, as confirmed by a dining companion that ordered the same dish. As a high point in that meal, the roasted red pepper tomato soup reminded my of my grandmother's (a very good thing) with no milk or cream to temper the delicious tart flavor. Cream of Tomato is for sissies. I also had their ribeye. No, I didn't expect it to live up to a Chicago steakhouse ribeye but it was still just OK. Lots of connective tissue, not a ton of flavor. It was cooked properly, which is a plus, and I ordered with a (necessary) side of peppercorn cream sauce, which was quite tasty. Again, a high point for this meal: the chunky chips and hot tomatoes. The tomatoes were very good, and the chips were maybe the best I've had in 2+ recent weeks of being in Ireland and the UK. Crisp outsides. Not cut too large, so the inside was hot and moist without being undercooked. Good potato flavor, and no shortage of salt (cuz salt is delicious). They were even better dipped in the peppercorn sauce. The service here is quite good - all the wait staff (and I probably saw them all) were very friendly and courteous. They apologized one morning that my coffee came in a tea pot, as they were out of coffee pots when I came in. I've decided to overlook this unpardonable sin. Breakfast can be a little slow if you order the full English, but there's a lot of pieces there, so I'm fine with it. Just something to know if you're running late. I should also comment on the...eclectic dinner music. "Oops I Did It Again" followed by the Gary Jules cover of "Mad World"...and then some Wham. Uh. Kay.
