Harden's says
Restaurateur Sam Harrison's smart neighbourhood restaurant and bar is designed to anchor the new Brentford Project, a mixed-used development beside the River Brent, when it opens in July 2023. It follows the success of Sam's Riverside at the reopened Riverside Studios by Hammersmith Bridge. There will also be a Sam's Larder opposite.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“The number one choice for eating in Brentford and just what is needed here!” – Sam Harrison’s year-old outpost of Sam’s Riverside is a “beautifully appointed venue by the river in the newly upmarket Brentford complex” (in which it’s an early pioneer of this fast-developing area). Practically all reports acclaim it for its “West End-quality food and service that never disappoints, be it at a riverside table, up at the bar or in the main restaurant”. Top Tips – “cucumber margaritas are amazing”.
Summary
“Just what the local area needed!” – Sam Harrison’s “newly opened outpost of Sam’s Riverside makes the most of a relaxing waterside setting as part of the substantial new residential developments” in downtown Brentford. But it’s “sufficiently separate to have its own identity and atmosphere”, and is “really buzzing” as “there’s nothing in the area serving food of this quality”: a selection of approachable but interesting brasserie fare. Top Tip – “good- value set lunch menu”.
Summary
Restaurateur Sam Harrison’s smart neighbourhood restaurant and bar is designed to help anchor the new Brentford Project – an upscale, mixed-use development beside the River Brent, open in summer 2023. It follows the success of Sam’s Riverside at the re-opened Riverside Studios by Hammersmith Bridge, although it doesn’t have the sweeping Thames -side vistas of the original. (There is also a Sam’s Larder opposite).
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
