From Winnersh to West London

Saturday, October 04th , 2025

 

Club India is in Winnersh, and has a chef with a strong pedigree. It was a very enjoyable experience, the service led by an experienced manager. The cooking was excellent and the prices were fair. Methi chicken and tandoori prawns were particularly good dishes, but pretty much everything was of a high standard.

Pollini is in a smart, historic building in West London that was once a Victorian-era early car factory and salesroom and is now an arts centre. The Italian restaurant has a lovely dining room, though it had rather intrusive music and low lighting. The service was good but the food was rather mixed, with a good duck ragu but also some less successful dishes. It seems to be mainly an events function, doing weddings, etc, and it seemed quite expensive for what appeared on the plate.
