Ahhh brunch that easy going meal, the relaxed sister to the early rising, time conscious breakfast; the delicious feast that was made for savouring. If the historical maxim is to be followed: ‘Breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dine like a pauper’, we should surely brunch like an Emperor! So where does one go for this delectable, decadent meal in Chiswick? Here, in no particular order are our top 5 places to brunch:High Road House
If luxury and decadence is what you are after, head to High Road House and enjoy the likes of ‘smoked haddock hash with a double yolker’ or ‘french toast and berries with Chantilly cream’. Sit inside in the elegant panelled brasserie or outside on the terrace and indulge in your brunch as the high road buzzes before you.

Angie's Little Food Shop
The small independent café on the high road was founded by Angie Steel and is influenced by her South African heritage. This gem of a place serves the most delicious and nutritious food, the wild mushrooms have to be tasted to be believed – utter joy! And if the extensive, eclectic all day brunch menu isn’t tickling your fancy the counter top is piled high with homemade cakes and pastries which will appeal to any sweet tooth. (Or, do both and take a little something sweet home to have with a cuppa later.)
The brunch menu is served all day alongside the lunch menu. The cafe doesn’t take reservations and with a steady stream of Angie adorers get in early to avoid disappointment…oh, and did I mention the mushrooms?
