Chianti (Ealing) - (Near , South East)

Paul Boakes Visited as a family of four, and opted for the £58 ROKA han setto brunch menu. The starters were fantastic, with an endless supply - until your mains are served - of salad, chicken, dumplings, sushi, kim chi, endamame and sashimi. My advice would be to fill up on the starters because... ...the mains werent quite as good. We had the sirloin, which was good, but the ribs (pictured) and the salmon (pictured) were lacking on the flavour. Nothing particularly wrong, they just didnt have the wow factor of the starters. I was also surprised by one portion of steamed rice being delivered: unexpected, un-asked for and fortunately, un-charged for as well. It wasnt mentioned on the menu...?!?! Dessert (pictured), however, recovered the game, and was a selection of chilled, frozen and fresh items: banana ice cream, sorbet, cheesecake, fruits, and so on. Service was inpeccable - spot on, attentive, polite, efficient, friendly. Absolutely flawless. Total bill came to £350 including service for 4 x adults at £58/each plus 7 x beers, and 3 x diet coke. We were in and out within 90 minutes on a lively Sunday lunchtime. Top tip: book for the lounge, which is much quieter and airier than the more enclosed area at the back of the restuarant. And it can be a little tricky to find, as its on the first floor of a building - took us a few minutes, and this was a second visit!

Lady Nazarene Ortiz GAIL’s Bakery is a cozy spot with delicious breads, pastries, and coffee. The bakery smells amazing and the food tastes fresh and homemade. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. It can get busy at peak times, but it’s worth it. Overall, GAIL’s is a great place for breakfast, a coffee break, or picking up fresh bakery treats.

Daria X The Greystoke is an absolute gem. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and lively, making it ideal for anything from a casual drink to a proper meal with friends or family. The pub itself is beautifully kept, warm, and welcoming, with a great local feel. The food is consistently excellent — well cooked, generous portions, and clearly made with care. Drinks are just as good, with a solid selection on tap and behind the bar. What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff: friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help, which makes every visit feel effortless and enjoyable. Whether you’re a local or just passing through North Ealing, The Greystoke is one of those pubs you’ll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommended.

Imran Zm If you’re around Barking Riverside and spot the Good Meal Jamaican food cart, it’s definitely worth stopping by. Don’t let the simple setup fool you—this place delivers big, authentic Caribbean flavours. The jerk chicken is a standout, grilled to perfection with a smoky kick and just the right level of spice. The curry goat is rich, tender, and full of deep seasoning that tastes like it’s been slow-cooked with care. Served with rice and peas, plus sweet fried plantains, every meal feels hearty and satisfying. What really makes this food cart special is the freshness and speed. Everything is served hot, portions are generous, and the value for money is excellent. The service is friendly and down-to-earth, adding to the overall experience. For a quick, flavour-packed meal on the go, Good Meal’s food cart brings a proper taste of Jamaica right to the streets of Barking Riverside. Definitely one of those local gems you’ll keep coming back to.
