The Silver Birch restaurant
This place is glorious. We went for a special occasion meal last night and I can honestly say it was one of my best dining experience for a very long time. The food is what is called ‘modern British/European’ and is the kind of thing that wins Michelin stars. The recently installed chef, Nathan Cornwall, has previously worked in several Michelin starred restaurants so it can only be a matter of time here. If I were Jay Rayner I would go into rapturous detail but I’m not so I’ll just say that the standard is easily comparable to what you would expect at La Trompette but at a considerably lower cost - around £20 cheaper for three courses by my estimation. And the Birch’s wine list is a lot more affordable too. Before your starter arrives you are are treated to a selection of exquisite little plates, gratis, that will really amuse your bouche and give you a hint of the splendours to follow.This place really deserves support. Catch it soon before it wins that first Star and the prices will inevitably go up! (of course I’ve got no connection or financial interest. I’m just a super satisfied diner!)https://silverbirchchiswick.co.uk
