Enjoy stunning riverside views at The Wharf Restaurant and Bar in Teddington
The Wharf Restaurant and Bar is situated on the riverside in Teddington, overlooking Teddington lock – famous for Monty Pythons Fish Slap Scene! The Wharf Restaurant and Bar is unique in that it is the only dedicated restaurant in Teddington that takes advantage of the River Thames. Nearly all other restaurants in this area are on the nearby Teddington High street.

The Chef Proprietor, Ray Neve acquired the the Wharf in 2002. Ray has worked at many top establishments such as The Dorchester Hotel and was executive chef at both The Bankers Club in Kuala Lumper and The Conrad Hotel on Chelsea Harbour.
Our party of three chose from the A La Carte menu which has an eclectic mix of modern European cuisine with some vibrant Asian influences. The menu has a large range of choices and prices to suit everyone.
For the starter course we chose scallops and minestrone soup. This was after we had all dipped a selection of high quality fresh bread in oil and balsamic vinegar. One of The Wharf’s speciality is Chilli Aioli which was also served with the bread. This was something I had never had before and provided a nicely spiced mayonnaise which was unusual and perfect . The scallops were cooked to perfection – not over done which is often the case.
Selection of English Artisan Breads, Olives, Chilli Aioli, Olive Oil & Balsamic
Seared Atlantic Sea Scallops, pea purée, pancetta, Clonakility white pudding
Minestrone Primevera salsa verde, croutons
For main course we chose Sea Bream (huge), the Grssingham Duck and London Pride Cod (also huge). We also selected some carrots, green beans and cauliflower cheese as side dishes. The carrots were delicious and honey roasted. The very tasty cauliflower cheese was one of the many highlights of the meal at The Wharf.

The Wharf Restaurant and Bar is a multi purpose venue containing bar area, restaurant and upstairs function room. There was an engagement party making full use of the function room when we dined at The Wharf. I did not venture up however I imagine it shares stunning views of the river just as the downstairs does.
The staff at The Wharf were very friendly and attentive and we were all well looked after including advice on pudding wines with our dessert.
If you are want to have a special meal in a beautiful riverside location then I would recommend booking The Wharf Restaurant and Bar in Teddington. It will take you approximately half and hour from London’ Waterloo and The Wharf is approximately fifteen minutes walk from the railway station.
Hope that you enjoy your meal.
