Harden's survey result
Summary
This “fantastic independent neighbourhood restaurant” in Chiswick serves an “adventurous” modern European menu of “delicious and unusual dishes”. Approaching its second birthday, it’s the first solo project from Newly Appointed Head Chef Nathan Cornwell representing fine local British cuisine.
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 32 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
"Consistent rreat lunch menu during the week at a reasonable price. The refined dishes are inventive, well presented and flavoursome. Staff are charming."
"Chose this restaurant for our regular Xmas dinner with friends and had very high expectations. The food was certainly interesting, very well prepared and presented - if only it had been hot! At least the staff did their best to compensate and when the cold food had been pointed out we were offered complimentary desserts - a mistake quite well recovered. The restaurant deserves to do well but it was virtually empty the night we attended with just two tables occupied. I hope they can survive!"
