Harden's says
Soft-launching in late May just a few doors along Crisp Street from Sam's Riverside, Sam Harrison's vision of "the perfect little local corner café" offers a full English breakfast and all-day bacon rolls alongside more contemporary dishes such as beetroot with halloumi and za’atar on sourdough with goat's cheese, crushed nuts, pickled red onion, roasted garlic confit and poached eggs.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“This café in Turnham Green Terrace is definitely a classy addition to the eatery choices in Chiswick” and is proving a handy add-on to Sam Harrison’s small empire, whose original outpost is tucked away in a backstreet behind Hammersmith’s Riverside Studios. In particular, it’s “a fantastic place for breakfast, morning coffee or a great lunch stop”: staples (like crab crumpets) “are very well done” and “served with a smile”: “not cheap eats, but the quality is good”. “They offer set dinners with a seasonal menu Thursday to Saturday” in W4, while in W6 they do ‘Smash & Grab Burgers’.
Summary
Just behind Sam’s Riverside, on the site that was Café Plum (RIP) – Sam Harrison’s vision of a ‘perfect little local corner café’ offers a full English breakfast and all-day bacon rolls alongside more contemporary dishes such as beetroot with halloumi and za’atar on sourdough with goat’s cheese, crushed nuts, pickled red onion, roasted garlic confit and poached eggs. It opened in summer 2023, too late for feedback in our annual diners’ poll.
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).
