Sergio's friendly greeting is the beginning of a wonderful dining experience. The small, cosy atmosphere begs you to stay for a while. From the starters to the desserts, it's one delightful bite after another! Pace yourself so you don't get too full to enjoy dessert. We will truly miss Sergio and the Chef's delicious food. Here are a few of our favorites: Bruschetta, calamari fritti, basket of homemade bread, marinated olives, penne rustica, Pollo Zola, tiramisù and torta di banana. We had to go back home to the United States.

This review refers to the Maidstone Pizza Express…read more Possibly one of the most horrendous dining experiences I've ever had. This was mostly down to the attitude of the waitress who, once she discovered that we didn't want wine and were only there for a medium sized meal, decided to adopt the stereotypical passive aggressive attitude that unfortunately is so common in towns as opposed to cities. For some reason she identified me as being the criminal in the operation and so directed all questions to my mum (who was dining with me). For example, when asking how the meal was she stood behind me so that I had to bend around nearly 180 degrees to give her my answer. I was met by her staring right past me as if to dismiss my opinion or anything I said. I have a long standing connection with Maidstone in Kent and would never live there ... and I will *always* walk straight past Pizza Express. My advice: Go down the road to ZIzzis instead.

We arrived early so were the only patrons in the establishment. We order the must have fish & Chips, Mango Habanero Chicken Bites, side order or olives and drinks. I sampled the Merlot, Shiraz as well as the Malbec before opting for a bottle of Merlot. All three were delicious. OMG, the fish & chips were so delicious. The crust was light, crispy and the fish perfectly cooked. We tried it with the malt vinegar and it was so good. Their chips were a cross between French fries and the normally expected chips. Do early sleep open your eyes. The mango habanero chicken bites and olives balanced off the meal Our hotel had a small refrigerator and no way to heat up leftovers. We were able to fully enjoy everything. The service was fantastic with just enough friendliness and discussion without intrusiveness. We will definitely be back before we head back to the USA.

Had the most amazing unplanned evening here last night. The restaurant is impressive, a large…read moremodern open plan restaurant and large bar with conservatory overlooking the river Thames at Teddington lock, welcoming you to a friendly, decorated interior. 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!

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.

A group of us were intrigued so we stopped by to check the place out. We were there early in the afternoon, so it was not that crowded, and we did not actually check out the menu, but we had a great time nevertheless.

Bread and Roses hosts bands in the evenings and has a comfortable outdoor beer garden in the back. I hope to have the opportunity to return soon.

The staff were very friendly, and the prices weren't bad. I found it a bit tricky to find, it is quite far down a road that looks residential, but that just makes it an even better slightly hidden gem, and they have a lot of fringe performances, readings and comedy shows - there were two events on just last night! And a good number of people at the main bar in the pub itself as well. Room hire is available and worth looking into for any performances you may want to put on, otherwise support local theatre or even just have a nice drink in a fairly laid back, friendly pub. Looks like the main room had just been repainted as well, with wet paint signs up everywhere. Plus, it's owned by the Battersea and Wandsworth Trades Union Council. I think that's pretty cool!
