Clever Soho House group; they always seem to know what people want wherever they open in the world, and Chiswick’s High Road Brasserie is no exception. A social chameleon, it transforms from bustling brunch hangout to relaxed all-day dining room (including cakes and sandwiches at teatime) and offers cocktails at the marble bar in the evenings. Menus change seamlessly as the hours go past and it always seems busy, with everyone from families to media types. In summer, the outdoor tables under the generous awning at the front are the place to be. The interior is a stylish mix of modern and retro, with beautiful coloured floor tiles, green leather banquettes, wooden chairs and fabulous light fittings. A crowd-pleasing menu offers bistro classics such as onion soup gratin, coq au vin and steak frites, mixed with Italian and modern British favourites. The pork belly bun, groaning with flavoursome meat and apple sauce, is a must-try. Having garnered strong reviews on opening, the Brasserie suffered a shaky period where service and food standards wavered, but we’re pleased to report that things are back on form.

French onion soup to start was great and the atmosphere and service were spot on. We ordered ribeye and sirloin steaks for the main however and they were both completely tasteless. For this reason alone unfortunately we shall not be going back

Nice winelist, decent food, commited service. Advisable to ask for a quiet table to avoid en vogue Chiseick show offs, parading their screaming kids around.

This place has clearly improved: Staff finally seem to be allowed to recommend their favourite dishes and seem passionate about their place of work, when we we asked to extend the sitting for our table the manager did everything to make it possible - and the food now looks and tastes the way it should. No wonder the place os full everytime I walk by!

After having a very rough and unwelcoming experience at the High Road Brasserie two years ago, we never wanted to go back. A friend's birthday invitation got us back there and WOW, what a wonderful evening we've had! From the moment we arrived the manageress and her staff made us feel very welcome and special. It did get pretty crowded at times and we did have to wait unusually long for our food, but the wait was made up for with a wine decanting demonstration and a birthday pudding. Clearly an improvement.

I used to really like this place for a simple midweek meal. As previous users have said, they once did an excellent beef burger. But the quality of the food has absolutely nose-dived over the last year, going from quite good for simple dishes, to completely inedible. Such a shame. (Unlike others, I've always personally found the staff to be very pleasant.)

Not up to the standards of the other Soho House venues. Food is decent and they do make a pretty mac & cheese off the menu, but the attitude of the staff is generally poor. You'd think being in Chiswick, where most diners are local, you'd go out of your way to keep people happy but I've not found that to be the case.

the HIGH ROAD BRASSERIE is possibly the worst place to be in Chiswick! It cannot be compared to the other restaurants in the Soho House Group. The service is neither friendly or helpful and the whole dining experience is completely unpleasant and the prices are ridiculous for what is on offer. If you happen to sit outside you will do so until hell freezes over as NO ONE WILL COME TO SERVE UNLESS YOU GO IN AND SHOUT!!!!! Then they consider you to be a nuisance. Not a place to be seen dead in unless you really don't mind being ignored.

re the High Road Brasserie - forgot to mention that having booked one evening for dinner and phoning to say we would be 5 minutes late, which, as it happens we were not - we got a lecture from the HOSTESS telling us we should have been there 15 minutes earlier even though we arrived spot on the time we had booked. She was a bundle of angst and utterly horrible - WISH WE HAD WALKED THEN!!!!! This place is NOT A GOOD ONE.

Worst dining experience in years! The chips tasted horrible and smelled strongly of over cooked oil. My friends stake was basically a big piece of fat, creatively concealed under a tasteless green sauce and I needed a magnifying glass to identify the miniscule shrimps that theoretically came with my cod. All four of us left very disappointed! Unacceptable food and ridiculous prices! Definite No Go!!!!!

This was my first and last time of going to the High Road Brasserie. The fact that there was a mix up and 'hostess' Barbara couldn't find the reservation is forgiven but her attitude IS NOT ! an evening in a restaurant, where you are hoping to have a relaxing & pleasurable (even if expensive ! ) experience, will never turn up that way when the 'welcoming hostes' is rude to the extend you feel your only hope of a nice evening is being anywhere but there !!!
