The Bollo

A safe distance from the commotion of Chiswick High Road, this neighbourhood gastropub charms locals with its sophisticated good looks. Outside is a little dining terrace, complete with an ornamental hedge; inside, the Victorian premises have a wood-panelled elegance, whether you’re seated at old pine tables or snuggled up on chesterfields. A regularly changing menu runs from snacks & omelettes to sharing platters & hearty full meals, so order a pint of Abbot Ale or something from the decent little wine list & sit down to a satisfying plate of, say, beef, pancetta & mushroom stew. Otherwise, Caesar salad & fresh fish from Billingsgate should peg back the calories, & lime sorbet makes a lighter alternative to sticky toffee pud. Half-price mains on Mondays, Wednesday quiz nights & Sunday roasts keep Bollo bowling along through the week.
