Restaurant in Chiswick for Work Meeting plus Parking

I haven't eaten out in Chiswick for ages,  put off by the difficulties of traversing the High Road but a client wants to meet there for lunch mid week.  He will be driving so has requested somewhere with nearby parking. Needs to be quiet enough and with space between the tables to be able to discuss work over lunch without others being able to hear everything,mid range to upmarket with good food and service and not too focused on one nationality of cuisine and while not mega busy would like some other mid week diners or it could be uncomfortable :)  I know of High Road Brasserie, Michael Nadra and La Trompette but not sure re parking options round there now. Any views re The Crown Chiswick? And others? Geggiano, Vacherin etc?  I'm sure others have sprung up/been refurbished over the last couple of years, would really appreciate restaurant recommendations plus parking advice - thank you.

Grilandia [top of TGT] is good food and Lebanese, just a bit different.  Roebuck pub [CHR] is good English food too.  A very steady product.  Roomy, so nooks and crannies for a discussion.    Cote Brasserie we like too [TGT].  It's steady and busy-ish....TGT = Turnham Green Terr.  CHR = Chiswick High Road.Free parking available 12.31 to 4.30 pm in Glebe Street, Dale Street and Binns Road W4, as restrictions apply to all prior to 12.30 pm., daily.      Best.

Villa di Geggiano is a good bet.Parking on a meter nearby should be fine....especially on Ravensmeade Way or Prebend Gardens. (1 minute walk)www.villadigeggiano.co.uk

I would second Villa di Geggiano. Great food, atmospheric, but also large enough to have a business lunch without being on top of other tables. I would have also suggested Michael Nadra, even though tables are much closer together, but I think it is still closed after the pandemic.

I have decided on Le Vacherin on South Parade. Does anyone know where my colleagu might be able to park around midday for a couple of hours within easy walking distance? Thank you.

Pay and display round the corner past the Duke of Sussex.

Does Vacherin still demand a large deposit (it was £50) simply to take a booking?

Read my post. Vacherin used to be a lovely welcoming good quality French restaurant when Malcolm Johns owned it. We haven't been back since the new owner started her discriminatory reservation policy based on requirements in central London restaurants, not local ones.

"For tables of 5 or more, we require credit card details, and reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee of £15 per person for a no-show or if the cancellation is made so late that we are unable to sell the table on the same terms. If the table is re-sold, no charge is made. We also require full food & drinks pre-order ( Tables larger than five )"This cancellation policy sounds very fair.However to fully pre order for a table of 6 would definitely put me off.
