The Summer House- Warwick Avenue, London

60 Blomfield Road, W9 2PA

With a prime spot on Regent's Canal, The Summer House is a charming venue for lunch or dinner. Now open all year round due to popular demand, it can be enjoyed as a cosy spot during the winter or for alfresco dining when the roof is pulled back in the summer. Fish and seafood dishes prevail (their fish and chips is a big favourite), however sharing platters, salads and char-grilled steak also feature.

The seafood platter is impressive; a healthy portion of popcorn shrimp, salt & pepper calamari, grilled sardines and Mediterranean king prawns accompanied with sweet chili and tartare dips. The Summer House salad makes healthy eating easy- a colourful plate of chicken, bacon, avocado, egg, Roquefort blue cheese, chives and tomatoes served with a light vinaigrette. Dessert was a creamy cup of Eton Mess- a lovely sweet treat to finish with.

Its canal location influences the nautical interior; white bricks, splashes of duck egg blue, classic stripes and an abundance of shell and boat decorations are on show. Each table is adorned with a bright sunflower and the plants placed throughout bring more nature into the space.
