This “charming waterside café/restaurant” headed by Ben Rand, former head chef at The Dairy in Clapham (RIP), is set in a new development in Brentford, where the Grand Union Canal connects with the Thames. “The food on the small menu is lovely”, but it’s a largely daytime-only operation, with occasional supper club evenings.

“An excellent waterside spot for brunch” – this bakery and grill (from Ben Rand, ex-head chef at The Dairy, and Janine Edwards, former head pastry chef at Little Bread Pedlar) occupies part of a new development, with a large outside decked area, where the Grand Union Canal meets the Thames in Brentford.

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).
