Rye by the Water, Catherine Wheel Rd, Brentford TW8 8BD
★★★★
Rye by the Water, the canal-side bakery and grill in Brentford from Robin Gill and the team behind restaurants such as The Dairy, Counter Culture and Darby’s, has re-opened as a bakery, grocer and community shop.
Open from Wednesdays through to Saturdays, the neighbourhood spot is serving daily bread, signature bakes, fresh vegetables, wine, cheese, milk and eggs, as well as some lovely pasta and sauces - all sourced their local suppliers.
Head Baker Janine Edwards has been firing up the bread ovens to make as many of her signature sourdoughs as she can, whilst the team make sure shelves are stocked with essential items that might be needed at home during the lockdown.
Rye by the Water’s excellent coffee will be available for takeaway, as well as a selection of carefully chosen beers and wines. There will also be the chance to purchase Vault Vermouth, the handcrafted vermouth distilled on-site, made with English wine, key botanicals, fresh herbs and fruit - the perfect aperitif to enjoy at home.
The Rye by the Water community shop is open Wednesday to Saturdays, 10-4 pm. Please note that only 2 customers are allowed in at any one time and the shop will be taking card payments only.
