The City Barge - London

Great food and location. Staff very welcoming and professional

The welcome was warm and our pre-request for a quieter table had accommodated. Unfortunately our wait between starter and main course was not acceptable (nearly 30 mins). We were told as our starter plates were being cleared that mains would be right along. Nobody let us know differently and I had to track down a server to ask what was going on. They were really busy, but it was a Saturday so I’m sure that’s not unusual. No apology or deduction from the bill. I would go back as long I don’t have other plans, and not with elderly parents who can’t do such a long lunch.

On top of its game. Exquisite squid starter beautifully presented and a pan fried hake dish par excellence. My daughter liked her Caesar salad with charred broccoli and the mushroom risotto was excellent. Nice atmosphere and always easy to get a lunch table before a Brentford match…as I regularly do!

A wonderful welcome, perfect table with a view and the steak was delicious. Thank you.

It’s a nice pub overall and nice Sunday atmosphere. I think Sunday menu can be improved we had a member who usually likes fish and there was no fish main course option which is pretty standard these days. Also the Sunday roast was ok I wouldn’t go back for it I have definitely had way better. I think the beef can be improved. Thank You
