restaurants that make up a group overlooked by group
chef Vijay Anand who was trained in India's famous

full meal, you will happily be accommodated.
Quayside BistroWillowtree Marina, West Quay Drive, Yeading UB4 9TAt: 020 8841 2500
Quayside Bistro is one of West London’s best kept
dining secrets. Only about 10 minutes from Heathrow
Airport located in a tranquil waterside location, the
Bistro offers fabulously prepared Mediterranean
cuisine. Along with a great selection of world wines
the seasonal á la Carte Menu offers the choice of

freshly prepared stone baked pizzas.
The Crazy BearOld Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield, HP9 1LXt: 01494 673 086
Luxury and opulence is evident everywhere, the over-
the-top décor seems to be a deliberate effort as part
of a studied plan to provide diners and guests with
the feeling of unmitigated indulgence and it works
amazingly well. The menu offers English and Thai
cuisines and diners could face a dilemma in choosing
the delicious meal, no matter what the occasion is.
From the Thai menu, you could start with a mixed
seafood soup or starters of crispy Peking duck roll and
move on to the seared tuna with crispy salmon skin
and green salad. There's nothing better than a cold
smoked eel with ratte potato and horseradish salad,
followed by a main course of slow cooked veal shin
served with savoy cabbage if British food is your
choice. End with a flourless bitter chocolate cake and
milk ice cream and do take note of the carefully
planned wine list.
