The city barge is a lovely pub with great food unfortunately let down by the service. Half an hour we waited before our drinks were bought over with a food order being taken before they arrived. We had also ordered some tap water for the table which never arrived. Once we ordered, and food arrived (in a timely fashion) we then went up to the bar to order drinks as no check back on our food had arrived with no additional drinks order. We had ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which never arrived and we needed up cancelling it as we had nearly finished our meals. Patricia, the lady serving us, attitude had completely changed once we had asked about drinks and the side order, it was quite unpleasant which was a shame as this was a special birthday occasion. We love this pub and the food really was delicious, hot and arrived in good time but this experience let us down and I don’t think we will be returning sadly. We never remove service charge but did on this occasion which I think was fair.

The Fish and Chips were outstanding—fresh, perfectly cooked fish with a crisp, golden exterior and flaky inside. The chips were fresh, crispy outside, soft inside, and paired perfectly with tasty dips. A fantastic meal overall, highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a Sunday Roast, and I must say the experience exceeded my expectations. The food was not only fresh and perfectly seasoned, but also beautifully presented. The roast was tender, the vegetables were cooked just right, and the gravy added a rich depth of flavor to every bite. You can tell that a lot of care goes into preparing each dish. I’ll definitely be coming back with my family to enjoy it again soon! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a classic and well-executed Sunday meal.

Great bar service even though one of us had a strong opinion about a certain wine. Food was good except that they ruined perfectly good mushy peas by putting mint in there but that's personal choice as I have been brought up with northern roots. Also the curry sauce with the fish and chips is not chip shop curry sauce just so you are aware.

This is my second time at the city barge and this was a fantastic meal, I was hesitant to try to tiger prawn and monkfish curry but I’m so glad I did. It was really fantastic and the flavours were really just right.

The pub setting is very nice. We were seated comfortably. The fish and chips arrived very quickly after ordering. The batter looked very light in colour however, it was crisp and cooked. The taste was disappointing. The curry sauce accompanying was tasteless. Other dishes might have been a better choice.

Not what it used to be, lowering my 5 stars to 2-3. Great for fish and chips and drinks. Other dishes like steak don't get cooked as requested (too much or too little). Sticky toffee pudding is no longer a winner either. Great atmosphere and great beer selection, with nice views at sunset.

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.

I love this place but the service and food need to be better. We came at lunchtime on Sunday. The menus all had food stains. The food was okay-ish but not great and the service was similar. A desire by the staff to make this place the best pub in Chiswick would make all the difference.

Not like our usual visits at all. Understaffed in kitchen and table service as everything was slow and mostly miserable/hassled. The chicken Kiev must have been bought in as it was unattractive and dry. Very disappointing that the good weather appears to have caught them unawares. The Swan is now far superior and our new ‘go-to’.

Pubs that only take payment by card should have this writ LARGE on their door and on their menus! Why wait until it comes to time to pay the bill to say "I'm sorry, we only take payment by card"? Well I'm sorry, I only make payment by cash. I understand the benefits of only taking card payments but they should make this clear before they take orders otherwise it leads to an embarrassing experience at the end of an otherwise pleasant afternoon. For this sole reason I will never return and I will never recommend.

Been going to this pub ( on and off ) for many years. As a Beatles fan this pub is significant to me because the Beatles came here in 1965 to film scene's here for their Help! movie. When they re released Help! on DVD we held a party here to celebrate that event and we invited actor Victor Spinetti ( he appeared in virtually all the Beatles films) to come to our party. And he did. So yes I do love this pub

Service was decent enough and the atmosphere was great, as one would expect on a lovely sunny evening by the river. HOWEVER, the food was a disgrace. How they can justify serving a burger with a patty full of gristle, served with a slice of tomato and one gherkin, with a small side of bland frozen fries for £18 I’ll never know. We paid £60 for two glasses of wine, a pint and two burgers (after the Chiswick calendar card discount had been applied). Le Vacherin restaurant the other side of Chiswick offers a 3 course menu for half this! Pubs complain they are losing business and struggling to survive, yet they seem to be the creators of their own demise.

The welcome was warm and our pre-request for a quieter table had accommodated. Unfortunately our wait between starter and main course was not acceptable (nearly 30 mins). We were told as our starter plates were being cleared that mains would be right along. Nobody let us know differently and I had to track down a server to ask what was going on. They were really busy, but it was a Saturday so I’m sure that’s not unusual. No apology or deduction from the bill. I would go back as long I don’t have other plans, and not with elderly parents who can’t do such a long lunch.
