Parking for guests
Is it worth the drive from Harrow?
Harrow has everything — St Ann's, the Heart of Harrow, Station Road, more restaurants than you could eat through in a year. It also has parking charges, one-way systems and a Friday night that can feel like hard work. Hatch End is ten minutes up the road and none of those things apply.
We are the Italian on Uxbridge Road with the car park. Harrow Weald and Headstone people walk in; from the town centre it is Headstone Lane or the Uxbridge Road straight through, or two stops on the Overground from Harrow & Wealdstone and a five-minute walk from Hatch End station.
What we cook
An Italian menu of the older kind. Starters like minestrone, prawn cocktail, grilled sardines and Pera al Forno — baked pear in red wine with fried camembert. Then saltimbocca di vitello, calf's liver with sage, spaghetti alla pescatora, an 11oz Filleto Rossini, duck in honey and pepper sauce, and grilled Dover sole on the bone. Pasta is cooked to order and portions are not small. No pizza — we have never made it. Vegetarian dishes are marked (V) and there are plenty.
The £19.95 menu
Starter and main from a shorter menu, at lunch (12 till 3) and as an early bird at dinner with orders in by 6.45pm. On Fridays and Saturdays early-bird tables finish by 8pm. It is not available for parties over twelve, and there is a 10% service charge. It is the reason a lot of people make the trip from Harrow on a weekday.
