Gone are the plates of boring vegetables. Instead, you will find foie gras and chicken liver parfait, wild mushroom croustillant and roasted stone bass. But, there’s nothing stuffy about the place and it’s still a local mainstay. When? Open now Where? 94 Church Rd, Barnes, London SW13 0DQ How? For reservations call 0208 7480 393
