First proper meal in the UK for me while visiting a while back, and it set the bar high. Probably my most memorable meal on my entire Europe trip.
Set on the Thames right by London Tower Bridge, BWCH has got a great view for sure. In fact, I absolutely LOVE the wharf area (was staying at the Guoman Hotel across the river) for its industrial feel. The interior is decked with wood, and I love the airiness and it gives to the space.
Had a late dinner with the family, starting about 830ish. We sat outside on the patio area, and it was just amazing. Our servers were courteous and helped us through the menu, which was nice especially since we were being touristy. The sister and I both opted for the Best of British menu (a great value at ~25 pound for 3 courses). We went for sweetbreads, fish & chips, pork chop, strawberries & cream, and grapefruit jelly with elderflower sorbet. Amazing. The pork had a perfect crackling as well. Mmm. Parents went for a steak and a salad, both pretty good, nothing ridiculously exceptional. Really, the standouts were the sweetbreads and the elderflower dessert. The sweetbreads were nicely fried up and creamy on the inside - just seasoned enough as well. The elderflower sorbet was so fragrant, and everyone enjoyed that one.
BWCH is definitely a bit pricier as a dinner option, so it's good for special occasions or for a truly nice night out. I'd highly encourage outdoor seating along the river if it's a great summer night, and go for a time that'll get you ending around 930-10. That's when the view of the river and London Tower Bridge from the restaurant is really spectacular.
Will be back here on my next visit.
