Thank goodness a comment set in reality, the new owners that took on the franchise from a settlement, were not friendly & were toxic to the immediate local community. Chiswick is saturated with foodie joints & time has moved on the fantastic Duke of Sussex huge refurbishement invites live bands & football, as sense of what the Duke originally was (except the 70's strippers!)& yummy food a sense of community is much needed as part of the conservation area not a high pressure resturant hell bent on group-on profits. The food markets on the weekend has been a fabulous contribution to recent years. Also I've just heard ON the grapevine the new owners (the ex) [NOT Malcolm john the real Michelin star holder] had done a 'runner! Allegedly. The area would benefit a balance of a boutique style business, a wellness centre, a community space, a bookshop, gallery, bookies (it once was!) something with office hours, anything but another industrial style restaurant. It's all change on Acton Green the church has recieved a huge legacy donation so will finally knock down the prefab for a community cafe space although importantly i don't recommend the above section should be living quarters it's inappropriate in common land, we don't wish to set a precedent. Well that's my 2 bobs worth.
