The City Barge is a historic riverside pub at 27 Strand on the Green in Chiswick. Its position directly beside the Thames gives the restaurant, terrace and outdoor seating broad water views, creating a distinctive setting for lunch, dinner or a drink near Kew.
The seasonal menu uses fresh local ingredients in modern British dishes, lighter pub classics and considered vegan and vegetarian choices. Seafood has a natural place in the selection, while sandwiches and more substantial mains let diners choose between a quick visit and a complete meal.
Sunday brings traditional roasts with the expected trimmings, making the pub particularly popular for a leisurely weekend lunch. Changing dishes and seasonal specials give regular visitors something different across the year while maintaining the familiar appeal of generous pub cooking.
Ales, wine, sparkling wine and cocktails accompany the food, with the bar remaining central to the relaxed atmosphere. The Harrowden Room overlooks the Thames and provides a private setting for smaller gatherings, while the main restaurant and garden suit everyday visits with family and friends.
Address: 27 Strand on the Green, Chiswick, London W4 3PH, United Kingdom
