About Weir Bar & Dining Room

Gastropub using local market produce, with a heated riverside garden planted with tropical shrubs.

The Weir is a popular place to eat and meet friends in Brentford. It's reputedly the oldest surviving licensed premises in Brentford, dating back to 1604. JMW Turner, the famous painter, lived here for a year in 1785 and the cellar below dates back to this time. The pub is located on the river tucked away from Brentford High Street on the corner of the Georgian square, The Butts. There are two bar areas: the piano bar and the main bar. You can reserve tables for both food and drinks parties in both. Formal dining is catered for in a separate dining room overlooking the waterside garden. On Sunday there is Live Latino Music from Jorge Ramirez.

    I have been coming to the Weir for nearly 10 years. This is hands down the only establishment that keeps on innovating, creating and keeping all its patrons well fed, imbibed, entertained and treated like 5 star guests. This has all been led by Jo and her amazing team. Nothing ever seems to much, the attention to detail is amazing! Well done to you all, and thank you Jo for always pushing the envelope in ensuring the Weir is a place of wonder and an experience not may places in London or anywhere come close.

    Had a brilliant lunch, it was pretty quiet on a monday but did mean we had pick of the outside tables. Great location and views by the canal. Food was excellent, albeit slightly slow to arrive, and there were special cocktails this day. All our dishes looked impressive but obviously it’s about the taste and it did not disappoint. Our server Alfie was brilliant. Couldn’t do enough for us, kept checking everything was fine but not obtrusively and had good banter throughout. Highly recommended but I see it does get busy on a nice, sunny evening.

    Updating this review: I've been to this pub more times than I can count and the service just gets better and better! Plus their food is absolutely amazing, I've tried almost everything from the menu and the chef/kitchen staff know how to make a delicious meal (but be warned, the portion sizes are big, especially for the roasts, fish & chips, burgers and the chicken pie), so I want to give a big shoutout to them! Callum, Nial, Yarna (she's the best at making cocktails), Erica, Hannah, Aliya and Olivia are great hosts and I will definitely continue to visit this pub

    A lovely evening in the garden with music and food. Great service from Callum even though the pub was busy. Cocktails were lovely :) 2 for 1 on pizzas was a bargain - the prawn pizza was the highlight! The Calamari was nice but the alioli needed a bit more flavour. The roast chicken was tasty and again a reasonable price. We will be back!
