The City Barge in Acton

Amazing service. Fast. Delicious fish and chips! Phenomenal service from the lady with the pigtails behind bar. 100% recommend.

One of our local pubs - and it really delivered on our recent visit. We had a gorgeous Sunday roast - every course was spot on. From the starters right through to dessert, the food was consistently great. I had the porchetta for my main, and it was absolutely delicious - easily one of the best roasts I’ve had in a long time. The meat was perfectly cooked and full of flavour. For dessert, I had the prune panna cotta - lovely flavour and a perfect wobble. Cocktails were decent too, making it a well-rounded and satisfying meal.

🚇 Kew Bridge 🍺 £6.30 London Pilsner The City Barge is located on the banks of the Thames in Chiswick, and is one of four pubs that line this stretch of the river. The nearest station is Kew Bridge. The City Barge claims origins from 1484, which would make it one of the oldest pubs in London. This pub was originally called the Navigators Arms it later became the Bohemia Head and the City Navigation Barge. The City Barge name comes from an old barge that was once moored between here and Oliver's Island, as a toll collection vessel. The pub is famous among Beatles fans as one of the locations in the movie Help! This is a one-bar pub that is split-level and has a country pub feel. Much of the space is given over to dining, especially the sunken room, which features a fireplace, flagstone floor, and curved stone steps. Directly in front of the servery are a number of tables for those just here for a beer. Upstairs is a private dining room with sturdy herringbone tables. There are two outside spaces: one at the back by the car park, and of course, the riverside terrace, which is the best place to be. This Greene King pub offers a decent selection of beers, which included some local London brews and three cask ales. I decided on a Portobello London Pilsner; my pint hit the spot, and the price was around average. The food menu offers classic British pub grub; Fish & Chips costs £19, and roasts are available on Sundays. I arrived around 2:30 pm on a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon in May. The atmosphere inside was very chilled and laid-back, as the majority of punters were enjoying the sun and the views outside overlooking the river. The service was excellent; the team here were upbeat, welcoming, and friendly. The @citybargew4 was a thoroughly enjoyable visit. This riverside Gastro offers a fantastic traditional pub experience within a country pub setting and riverside views. 📅 11th May 2024 More London pub info on socials @londonpubmap 🍻

One of my favourite pubs in Chiswick. Great atmosphere and food! During my last visit, I had the fish pie and the cauliflower soup, as well as a glass of orange wine. My companion had fish and chips. We paid a total of 60 pounds.

Food was delicious, and the service very good, fabulous ambiance, they didn't rush me. The fish and chips were on a visit to England in late September 2023. The lamb was from a visit to England in late June to July. Everything was so fabulous I just had to go back again. I hope to go back to the City Barge next visit and have the Sunday roast and also have a walk along the beautiful waterfront.
