The Bollo House - London

I moved to the area earlier this year and having a roasty on a sunday is my favourite part of the week and after having the vegan wellington at the bollo i’m not sure anywhere else could top it so i’ve been in pretty much every sunday from march november this year. the food is amazing but it’s the staff that really make it so special particularly izzi and stu. I’ve had my busiest year ever this year and as a solo musician it can be quite a lonely life but having my sunday roasts at the bollo with izzi and stu to meet me with a big smile has really helped me through some tough times this year. they’re so genuine and really care about their customers and it’s so clear to see that with how they are with anyone that walks through those doors. as gorgeous as the food is, i know the bollo wouldn’t be the same without izzi or stu so i want to say a personal big thank you for making the bollo such a special place and for helping me (and no doubt so many others) more than you know x

Having passed the Bollo a multitude of times in the past I decided it was time for a long overdue visit. A dear chum suggested we go for a birthday lunch in my honour and it was swiftly booked. We walked there after visiting the relatively close by Chiswick House but unfortunately got caught in a downpour. So we arrived a little soggy but excited nonetheless. When we reached our destination we were warmly greeted and kindly offered our choice of tables. We grabbed a couple of drinks, sat down, picked over the menus and placed our orders. We had a surprisingly lengthy bit of a wait, to be honest (given how quiet it was that afternoon). But once our meals arrived we were suitably impressed. Excellent sized portions especially the large, and delicious Yorkshire pudding. Three large slices of perfectly medium beer, maple syrup covered carrots, kale, spuds and (to me, at least) the star of the meal the mulled red cabbage. Plus, a HUGE side of cauliflower cheese. The food was immaculate. And proved far too much for me shameful, I know. My company, however, annihilated hers like a starved wolverine! And had space for dessert! I've already put the Bollo on my go back to list. Right near the top. The ambiance is lovely there save for one particularly loud, chirping little dog. The glass dome we were sat under flooded us with natural light which was endearing. The staff were helpful and polite. And the prices were fair for the area. A great spot that, I dare say, will become a regular haunt for yours truly.

Fabulous meal here Friday loved the Thai green curry. Such a friendly welcoming pub, lovely staff especially our waiter Jamie!

We went for a meal on Saturday, we both had fish and chips, massive portions and great service by a lovely Welsh waiter, we'll certainly return

We found this place after checking into our Airbnb. We had been in the UK for just a few hours, had spent lots of time either walking or sitting on trains, after a long flight with little rest. We were tired, hungry, and ready to try our first real English food. Staff were kind and helpful, the food was delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. Will probably be back before we head back across the pond.
