The SO and I really like La Seronata (117 London Road, Twickenham, TW1 1EE). It's a step back to the late 1970's and we do like the nostalgia. However, it does divide reviews if one reads trip advisor et al.
What to say? Family run. Slower paced. Home cooked? Sort of. The owner's wife / co-owner is certainly doing her thing in the kitchen. The menu hasn't changed in the years we've been going, and thank goodness for that! The fillet steak with dijon mustard and brown sugar is a delight, and reasonable (for within the M25) at £18. SO had sirlion with brandy and pepper. Her summary was "mmm" and a smile. The veg and starch came in the stainless steel serving platters. This is like my childhood.
Anything wrong? The wine's expensive. It is the one reason we don't come more often. SO has suggested that next time we drink the house red, or order by the glass. She's a sensible one, is the SO.
La Seronata does provide a lovely antidote to the relentless march of themes and chains.
