Summary
“A brilliant addition to the neighbourhood” – this Chiswick site was formerly a branch of Brew (next to W4’s thriving Franco Manca), and, despite opening in tricky times (October 2020), wins enthusiastic local praise. The first solo project from Kimberley Hernandez (previously head chef at XU and Kym’s), it’s a relatively ambitious neighbourhood restaurant for this chain-filled high street, with “competent”, “flavoursome” modern European cooking.
For 31 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).

The Silver Birch Restaurant Diner Reviews
"This was a disappointing meal in a restaurant whose credentials looked so good and with a high price point. The bread offered was dry and had clearly been cut for a while. The blooming onion starter, which others have seen as interesting, just seemed odd - a deep fried onion on deep fried kale with far too little sauce. The mains were small and, in particular the skate, off the bone, needed more texture . The flourless chocolate cake was nice but again needed texture."
