The Bridge in Barnes

the bridge in barnes has often been a hit and miss affair 12 months ago it was not a venue that one would have chosen as a night on the tiles but steadily the menu has devoleoped into a very reasonably priced gastronomic delight from a pork belly and black pudding delice with seared scallops and fennal slaw to the ever exiting scallops benedict the kitchen is open plan so you can actually watch the cheff cooking your order although i must say that the level of ambition and flair has decreased in the last 3_4 months it is still a high qaulity venue with an ok wine list ( mediocre at best wines at a very highly inflated price) and my husband noted that the cask ales could not have been stored properly (cloudy ale) to sum up still a bit of a hit and miss venue the food is exeptional as is the service although the wine list and bar could do with a major overhaul i shall most certainley be ruturning especially on a monday evening when it is half price main courses

I do NOT recommend this restaurant!!!!

I've been here and had a very bad experience. The food was not good indeed,

and we had to wait quite a while. Although we said nothing, I honestly thought the kitchen forgot about us!!! Me and my guest agree that the glass of wine we had was not good at all, as it tasted like "if " the bottle has been opened for few days......... and that are NO something you expect from a restaurant!!!!

Overall the service was nice, and the lovely girl had a lovely smile and good manner, e en though it is not enough!!!!!!

I've actually got told from a friend that this place wasn't good like few years ago, when we used to come regularly, but I thought to give it try.... never again

Called in for an early supper at the Bridge and sat in the sunny beer garden over a bottle of wine and very tasty food especially the lamb roulade that is on the menu currently. The service was good and the girls that served us were polite and friendly. Will definitely be paying another visit.

We eat at The Bridge regularly and recommend it to friends. Last night I enjoyed pan fried cod on crushed new potatos with sugar snap peas and enjoyed every mouthful. The food is very tasty and fresh even if a little pricy. The atmosphere is excellent and staff young but polite and always trying to please. Definitely worth a visit especially on a warm night as it has a great beer garden.

Came on Tuesday with 2 friends for dinner. Food is very average, portions are too small! Extremely overpriced for such a place! We left hugry and unsatisfied! The worst place in the area for sure. Their staff look untidy. Bad experience! Not coming back...

This used to be a good pub to have at the end of our road. Unfortunately over the past few months the wine quality seems to have deteriorated - same prices but inferior wines.

The half price food on Monday is good value, but I would certainly not pay full price - mains courses for £12 - £15 which are worth much less.

We had a lovely evening in The Bridge last night having strolled over from Hammersmith - friendly service, tender steaks and a nice Chilean merlot. It was pretty quiet for a sunny evening, but then it was Thursday. Not particularly cheap, but I would certainly go back.
