Riverside Brasserie

Little ambience — all down lighters. we were on a voucher deal, but it excluded sides, nibbles and drinks. There were also hefty surcharges on beef/​steak. Sides were £4 a piece. Chateaubriand was 5 generous slices but far from the best I’ve had and some pieces were a bit stringy. The best came last with an excellent Apple & apricot crumble and an amazing passion fruit pannacotta that blew me away. As well as the included cocktails, we had 2 small glasses of Chenin blanc and 2 large glasses of Cote de Rhone. Despite paying up front (£50) — mea culpa– we had the chateaubriand at a £24 for 2 surcharge– the extra bill came to £62 plus a 12.5% gratuity totalling £76 — so £126 all told. Our first Heston experience but one we will not repeat — in summary, food ok, overpriced, service lacklustre and just not good value for money.
