Union Jacks

Food was badly burnt, house wine remained unfinished. 6 burnt meals out of 8. I took a photo the food was so burnt.Toddler meal so over cooked our toddler couldn't bite through the fish fingers. Whomever is running the pass in the kitchen unlikely to be a chef. Decor very good staff very friendly. This place will go out of business if owners don't step in and sort food out. Wish I had read reviews first poor birthday meal.

We went there this afternoon 17.12.12 for our Xmas Lunch do and I enjoyed the lunch we had. The menu is rather mundane and to be expected, the service and the atmosphere was brilliant. I give the service 5/5, the menu 3/5 and the food itself 4/5. I had the fish fingers for starter, the beef burger for main and a bakewell tart for dessert with a mince pie. The mince pie was delicious by the way but some of the savouries were rather oily. The presentation was 10 out of 10. I would recommend eating here DEOF!

We arrived to a full restaurant (being saturday evening) but was told a table would be freed soon so we waited. I now wish we didn't. Way too loud for my liking, waiting time is unexceptable (although suddenly very quick when one gets up to leave after giving up waiting for the cheque), plain food, place feel very tight even though I'm a size 10. To sum it up I was not amused. Advice: avoid The star goes for the staff being friendly.

Ignore the bad reviews, just dont go expecting a high end dining experience. A quirky menu, all dishes very well done and pleasant staff - made for an enjoyable evening.

Don't be fooled by the nice smell outside this restaurant. The food is far from being fantastic. We had lamb and salmon, neither of them pleased me or my friend. I felt still hungry after that, although I have a small stomach and usually have enough with just the main course. Too expensive for what it is, but really friendly waiters, as mentionned before by others. Not coming back.

Nice staff, very accommodating with my change of time for table booking (twice). Advised over an hour after ordering that one main course was no longer available and was asked to choose something else. Childrens dish included 3 of the smallest fish goujons with a side wardorf salad (literally smaller than scampi). When asked for some chips to fill up our 4 year old I was told 'no chips' but we do some new potatoes with lemon. I asked them for the closest thing to chips and the potatoes came with fresh lemon rind and herbs on to which our 4 year old turned her nose up (nice flavour but too strong for a child). Did you not think to make them plain or at least ask if we wanted them plain? All of our food was tasty but it seemed everything had 'mustard mayo' or 'mustard dressing' on it. My bill was discounted when requested (thank you), nice place but please upgrade your childrens portions - both quantity and accompanyments (given your location in nappy valley) and vary the menu a little. I should have read the other reviews before as we went for a birthday meal.

Thought we'd give UJ a try although the fact it was nearly empty on a Saturday lunch time wasn't a good sign. Pizza was very bland with hardly any topping, but expensive and the salmon dish was very disappointing with a gloppy overly dressed cucumber salad which was swimming in butter from the new potatoes. Team that with a small piece of salmon and I was sat wondering why I've paid £11 for this? Far far better choices in chiswick and Jamie certainly needs to up his game and offer realistic prices if this branch is to survive at all.... However the staff were really lovely and that's the only reason it gets a star.

We were slightly alarmed by the so-so reviews but we decided to go anyhow. We were glad we did and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered a variety of dishes ranging from Woodman flatbread (a mushroom and cheddar pizza), grilled sea bass and Indian chicken. All were well-cooked and very tasty. Service was friendly and prompt without being over-puahy. The retro arctic roll with fruit coulis was very nice but we would have liked to see a couple of hot deserts on the menu (crumbles maybe?) We would definitely go again.

Well meaning but we wouldn't go back. Left waiting at front door too long while they sorted out other bookings (on a Saturday lunchtime). Kids menu was not inspiring but made worse by the waiter telling us unprompted that lots of customers found the portions too small. We asked what he suggested we order to bulk out the choices and he had no suggestion to make other than "choose something else" and refused to contemplate increasing the portion size! Flatbreads from the main menu were ok once they arrived, but cheese-heavy, and pork was very good. Side salad ordered bu one grown up never arrived. But kids food was small (as warned) and raw cabbage/carrot mix on the side was hopeless: too finely grated for kids to pick out the carrot that they would happily eaten. Old fashioned cordials were also left undrunk by the kids.

Tasty pizza but so heavy that it's repeating on me, greasy and clumsy. Only 2 wine choices by the glass, both of which were poor, thin and uninteresting. Service good but won't be going back as plenty of other better choices in Chiswick, really disappointed.
