   Fabulous. The roast, beef and chicken, is awesome. The taste, the flavour, everything was so balanced. I also tried a beer with flavor of elderflower which was amazing. And the girls inbehind the bar were so nice and helpful. Thank you for an amazing lunch. Good vibe.

   A pub with an old-world atmosphere of England. Tasty giant portions, great selection of beers. The whole of Kingston is worth a visit. District in London with the atmosphere of a summer holiday. :-)

   We had an amazing lunch at this lovely riverside pub! The outdoor seating right by the water was perfect—relaxing, scenic, and just the right vibe for a sunny afternoon. The food was top-notch pub fare—tasty, hearty, and freshly made. We especially loved the fish & chips or burger and the portions were generous. Pairing it with a cold drink while enjoying the view was the best way to spend the day. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding to the warm, laid-back atmosphere. Service was quick and attentive, even when they were busy. If you’re looking for a great pub with delicious food, a beautiful setting, and proper hospitality, this is the spot. Can’t wait to come back!

   An unforgettable experience at the Ram. Archie was a MVP who made our visit great. Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Thames in Kingston, The Ram is more than just a pub, it’s a destination. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a cozy, inviting atmosphere that effortlessly blends traditional charm with modern comfort. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a romantic riverside drink, or simply unwinding after a long day, The Ram offers the perfect backdrop with its stunning views of the water, crackling fireplaces, and thoughtfully curated ambiance. But what truly elevates The Ram from great to exceptional is the people, and in particular, Archie. From the very start of our visit, Archie went above and beyond in every possible way. His warm smile and genuine hospitality made us feel not just welcome, but truly at home. He wasn’t just serving drinks, he was crafting an experience. Attentive without being overbearing, thoughtful without missing a beat, Archie anticipated our needs before we even voiced them. He remembered our preferences, offered fantastic recommendations from the menu, and even shared a few local tips that made our evening even more special. What stood out most was how much he cared. Archie wasn’t just doing his job, he was exceeding it with grace and authenticity. He checked in with a personal touch, made us laugh with his friendly banter, and ensured every moment of our time at The Ram was comfortable and memorable. It’s rare to encounter someone in hospitality who makes you feel so genuinely valued, but Archie does it effortlessly. The pub itself is a gem, ideal for any occasion. Whether it’s a lively get-together with friends, a quiet date by the river, or even a solo evening with a pint and a view, The Ram delivers every time. The outdoor terrace is simply magical at sunset, with the Thames glistening and the buzz of conversation blending with the gentle sounds of the water. The Ram has always been one of my favorite pubs in Kingston, a place where good times are guarantee, but thanks to Archie’s outstanding service, this visit was nothing short of perfect. If you’re looking for great drinks, beautiful views, and a team that treats you like family, The Ram is the place to be. And if you’re lucky enough to be looked after by Archie, consider your evening officially made.

   Lovely staff - always friendly, service with a smile. Got some nice recommendations on new beers to try. Always love the live music nights. My only qualm would be I really wish there was a little bit more of a vegan option - everywhere in Kingston does a vegan burger and a salad.

   Lovely spot for a pint with a number of ales and beers on tap. Selection has been limited recently with only around 20% of the taps in use, but a good selection still. Has a lovely outdoor terrace at the back with backs onto the River. Great for summer evenings.

   This is a nice and cosy pub along the river. We visited at the end of a shopping trip, its just outside the shopping area, so a little calmer. We were able to find seats inside and order a couple of drinks before leaving for dinner. There is a good selection of drinks, the staff are friendly, the service was good and the facilities were decent. We would visit again, especially in the summer to try sitting outside by the river.

   The Ram itself was originally a brewery site in the 1500s, it was first noted as being a pub in 1708. Although this was a few doors down, and the current "Ram" site only appears from 1840 onwards after a licence transfer. There's nothing significant of note about this place historically, only that it's maintained a degree of independence from other tied houses having been owned by Frickers Brewery (1903-5) and Royal Brewery of Brentford respectively. Only 2 doors down was the more colourful Eagle Tap. It was described as poorly ventilated and unsanitary, cited for drunk and disorderly behaviour, and the landlord during WW1 would sell intoxicants to soldiers. Despite this, it would turnover 5x as much as The Ram, but it ultimately became offices in the 1950s, and now a Best-One cornershop. History lesson over (credit to Richard Holmes again), the pub itself had such a welcoming vibe. Open space with lots of booths, a small but refined select of local ales on. I opted for @twickenhamales Naked Ladies which is always a winner. Keg wise it's the usual suspects, but with a Lervig House Party beer on, and in January I think they even shove the NA one on too. Food looked very good, a step above normal, and 50p a wing Wednesday with the T&C's specifying a minimum of 6, and no maximum. Intrigued. A spacious garden down towards the river, which during the "outside only" period of lockdown(s) took over a much, much larger space. Must have some decent contacts at the council to get away with that. Felt like a nice pub overall, one I'd definitely go back to. Something kind of interesting (to me at least) sitting in old buildings. Take a lot of pubs current states for granted. Anyway, I'd love to see a wider selection of beers but what can you do if you're tied. Another one checked off the list, and if you're strolling along the river you can sack off that Sam Smith's pub and head here instead.

   Simple pub, but worth visiting for the beautiful views of the river. It is not that big but plenty of room outside. I was glad to find a table outside on a Saturday late afternoon. Customer service is great as well.
