Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast draws repeated praise, with diners calling it one of the best meals of their trip, generous in portion though one visitor found it just an average roast. Close behind, the lamb chops and rump steak get singled out as delicious, and burgers are called excellent and full of flavour. The riverside setting, with outdoor seating by the Thames or a conservatory view, comes up again and again alongside friendly, welcoming staff, with several mentioning help arranging a birthday cake and candles. One reviewer's experience broke sharply from this pattern, describing a kale, apple, walnut and blue cheese salad as soggy and inedible, fatty lamb chops, a brownie containing kitchen roll, and a neighboring table with missing items, with only a brief apology and no response from management. Aside from that account and one mention of an average roast, most describe food arriving quickly and staff going out of their way, including keeping sunblock on hand for sunny days by the water.

“Genuinely one of the nicest places i've been to in a while. If you're looking to take your partner for a nice cute date, this place is fantastic. There is plenty of seating by the riverbank with fantastic views. The food was phenomenal. I had the 225g rump steak and it was delicious, whilst my partner had the Lamb chops. We both devoured our meals in no time. The service is lovely, the staff are friendly and understanding, and as always, if you're nice to the staff they will make your stay an incredible experience. Definitely a place i recommend.”

“An absolute gem. We’ve both got pub backgrounds and recognise a proud team led by a great boss. These guys do everything to make sure you have a fab time. We really enjoyed our visit. An absolute gem - well done team Bell & Crown. Reminded me of the spirit my Dad instilled and the buzz that goes with it is unmistakable 👏👏👏”

“We had a lovely Sunday roast here. While we couldn't sit on the outside portion near the river, we had a great view out a window with tons of sunlight streaming in from a skylight. Food and drinks came quickly, service was pleasant, and we had zero complaints about the food.”

“I'm a super regular at The Bell & Crown Chiswick, can't count how many times I been here with families, friends, and won't have it any other way. Great food, ambience, services and the team like Eloni, Martin, James, Matthew, Fiona, the girl from India, another from Europe, (sorry forgot the names but I won't forget how lovely you were😘!) are the heroes at this restaurant. Keep it up, more power! 💕🎉”
