Not usually one to give a Restaurant a poor review but after the afternoon/evening we had at The…read moreWharf I feel it's my duty to warn people about it. Let me start by saying the food was 'OK', nothing to shout about but nice. The small portion size was a a bit of a problem. I was left still hungry after their Roast Rump of Lamb, there were no side dishes. The location of the Wharf is really nice. Just by Teddington Loch so you can watch the boats on the Thames. The dining area is floor to celling glass so everyone gets a good view. The service was absolutely abominable. For want of a better word the waiters were 'snooty' and very unobliging. We were a party of five. Myself and three others arrived first. We were asked weather we wanted to sit at the bar or go straight to the table, so we opted to go to the table. The Waiter then proceeded to put the menu's on the table, walk away and never come back. No offer of drinks while we wait, it took me to get up and get a waiter to be served some drinks. When the rest of our party arrived, exactly the same thing happened. After we finally had our drinks we started browsing the menu. The Waiter then appeared again to tell us the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes so we needed to order now! I enquired later as to why you would take a booking for 5 at a time when the kitchen was about to close and the received the response of "most of our patrons order quickly"....... The final nail in the coffin for the evening was the fact that we were offered no choice of desert and then were rudely ushered off the table so they could clear away. We headed down to the bar and an hour later I noticed the same table was still unoccupied. So avoid the Wharf like the plague. The location at Teddington lock is lovely but you will be treated like you're a nuisance, not a paying customer. I hope this review has help steer you off the idea of having dinner at the Wharf.

Had the most amazing unplanned evening here last night. The restaurant is impressive, a large…read moremodern open plan restaurant and large bar with conservatory overlooking the river Thames at Teddington lock, welcoming you to a friendly, decorated interior. If anything it is off the 'main beat' of the High Street, but certainly not out of reach, although it maybe suffers from 'out of sight, out of mind.' The staff are equally friendly and welcoming. On the dot our waiter, introduced himself to us and shows us to our table. The menu reads well, offering a good choice without overpowering you or using foodie 'jargon'. For starters, we had Shetland Island Mussels "Marinière" and had Roasted Rump of Lamb & Rib Eye for our main course which, was done as per our request medium rare. The food was truly out of this world and is a "must have" when visiting this place and goes perfectly with Argentina (Pinot Noir). Overall, food and service was excellent. Our request for a waterside table was graciously accommodated. Service was attentive without hovering. Excellent service!

Sure it's a little rough around the edges but it lives up to its expectations and has plenty of seating and space for large and small groups. There's also a great outdoor seating area, perfect for spring and summer days/nights. If you're in the neighbourhood and looking for a relaxed environment with no judgement or bells and whistles this is the place for you.

This pub has loads of character. The food is classic pub food, at good prices and a high standard (home made, not delivered and microwaved) available in the day and evenings. There is a separate function room at the back where live music events (bands and a regular jam night every Sunday) are held. This gives the bands enough space and keeps them out of the way of the main pub for those who want to drink or eat without music . The Swan gets some great bands and people come from far and wide for these. There is a car park round the back. Well worth a visit for a meal, the live music or a pint in lovely traditional surroundings.

The dinner menu ( at £70/person) includes three courses appropriate to the season ( three or four choices per course). The wine list is robust, and includes a good selection of wine by the glass . While none of it is cheap, there is a lot of art in the food. If I had one small gripe, it would be that the experience is a little on the slow side- dinner was a three hour affair- on the other hand you don't really want to be swilling back your Pomerol as though it were a supermarket Beaujolais on a Friday night.

The lunch started with some parmesan shortbread and truffle cream with chervil. Also Irish soda bread for the table (in house made and delicious). For starters we all went for the charred mackerel, radish, ginger and champagne. Super tasty, one of the best meaty mackerel I have had in a while and the sauce was super fragrant. For mains, I went for the middle white pork (very creative and delicious) and my family went for the Hake and lime sauce (well cooked fish!). And for desserts we all went for the chamomile and apple creme brulee. Sooo goood! Overall the food is classic Irish with a twist! I would highly recommend it for a special occasion

The pub has been divided into several areas with couches and tables and chairs dotted around. There are many nooks and crannies, so it's possible to have a cosy, intimate drink for two.

However, this place is so popular you'll need to book in advance, which they make very easy for you to do on their website. It seems that if you haven't booked for game day, you'll be standing. (They have a very classy, user-friendly website as well.) I also hear it's a great place to host parties. Although there is no party room, there are some great corners with couches for hosting large groups. I've never done it but others have told me it's a great place for such events.

To be honest, I don't see what all the fuss is about, unless you're football mad, there's not much going on here. As for the food, I recently tried the steak here, one of the pricier items on the menu and this was average at best. There's certainly room for improvement on the menu, but most come to drink, not quite in the same league as 'The Stonhouse' (clapham common) or 'The Avalon' (clapham south). Would not eat here again unless I had to.
