I booked this restaurant for our family Sunday lunch, as it came highly recommended on The Fork. I was so looking forward to the meal as it had high ratings. But unfortunately, our experience was far from all the high ratings. As soon as we entered the restaurant, they were still sweeping the floor, and we were asked if we had a booking, as if the entire restaurant was fully booked. Except that it wasn’t. There was only 1 table of 2 there. Also, we found broken glass under our table, and the soles of my shoes were sticky as we left the restaurant (probably from the spilled drink that wasn’t cleaned). Our booking was for 13:00, but we were offered the breakfast menu. When I asked for the lunch menu, the waitress said she wasn’t sure if it was available. Then another staff member said that we could have the lunch menu. Now, who wouldn't serve the lunch menu at 13:00? So weird. From the “all-day dining" menu, my girls & I were so looking forward to having the steak, as it sounded delicious and also that was the only thing my daughter’s liked from their menu. Upon ordering, we were informed that they didn’t have the steak. How disappointing! My husband ordered a starter of prawns and calamari, and we’ve never been served a dish with just about 4 prawns & 2 calamari rings. The waitress who served us was pleasant, and the drinks were good. Apart from that, nothing was great. So, I would not recommend it and we are not going back. _______________________________________________________________ P.S. This is in reply to the restaurant's reply to my comment: The restaurant wasn't busy at all - No one had ordered steak before us, as we were the 1st people to place orders + there were 2 tables who arrived after us... I accept your apology in regards to the cleanliness. In terms of the 50% off - it wasn't given to us because of the inconvenience. It was given to us because we booked it through 'The Fork' with 50% off offer. Thank you for replying back though.
Some bistros fail to deliver, but Time does the business. Our reviewer had an early evening meal, catching the setting sun on the veranda after a warm October day. Time delivered in every way. The Haloumi starter was beautifully presented, freshly prepared, and in a mango sauce which worked well. The chicken burger main was exceptional, especially as our request for a small salad on the plare was met without any concern. Everything was cooked to perfection and was super tasty. We took the Red Rioja Crianza wine, perfectly o at room temperature, in a pristinely clean glass... even our request for a glass of tap water excelled, served with raspberries, blueberries and lemon... in a lead crystal tumbler. Service was top notch. Sarina cannot be more than 18 years old, but she took the order without writing it down, was polite, prompt and deserved her tip. Pelican Reviews are delighted to award Time Bistro-Bar with 5-Stars.
It was my friends birthday here last night and somehow upon arriving in fancy dress (70s night) I was told by a rather snobby and rude barmaid I was not to be served. I asked why, was told the owner (or, whoever…) told her not to serve me. So then they both were rude to me and argued with me and he shouted at me rudely!!! By the way, I was not drunk, I’d had one pint. They refused to give me an explanation when I repeatedly asked for one and were instead arrogant and disdainful. I decided to go, anyway, went to Ealing and had a much nicer evening there anyway and made some friends. DO NOT GO HERE: my advice.

Second time at Time today with friends for a birthday celebration. First time having the food. I had the Chicken Burger and it was delicious. The cocktails we had were amazing aswell. While we were there the staff were so friendly, the place is so elegantly decorated, the atmosphere is amazing and it is just a great place to go for a lovely evening out with friends. Chantal really looked after us and the manager made the birthday girl feel really special. I would highly recommend for food, cocktails and atmosphere for a great night. Thank you.
Great place for lunch or a relaxed coffee and snacks with friends or just by yourself. Owner and chef both dedicated to providing good food and good service. I had the quinoa and beetroot veggie burger and it was light and flavourful. The interior is quite quaint and tastefully done. The location was a pleasant surprise as, even though it’s August off the main road, it actually backs onto Brentford lock and so has views to the water and a lovely bridge over the lock with an open space, contrasting with the busy road on the other side.
ASTONISHINGLY bad nachos. Hilariously bad. I didn’t know nachos could be this bad. It looks like one big disc of cheese was melted slightly over puffy chips. The cheese feels like plastic and pulls like a super starchy cheese pizza (never a good sign)! Slight pepper flavor but nachos at all. I’ve had better nachos at sports food stands for half the price. Update it’s less warm now and I’ve taken to cutting the cheese with scissors to get it into smaller (very solid) pieces.

A perfect venue for celebrating a special occasion - we hosted our daughter’s first birthday party there. Chris, the manager, was very helpful starting from planning the party to looking after us on the day. Beautiful decor inside, delicious food and very friendly staff. We had plenty of space dedicated to our party too. I’d highly recommend this venue for a private party!
We went to a private function. Staff very accommodating. atmosphere amazing . Beautiful venue. Have had cooked breakfast there before, quality food. Most importantly Cocktails amazing.
