Atmosphere in Richmond

“We got a takeaway for a family of 6. We love the huge portions, and generous amount of chips. Really cannot fault anything... It is also very nice that they also offer grilled options, on top of their selection of battered deep-fried goodies. Everything is delicious!”

“I've been eating and taking away from this restaurant almost from the time I moved to Putney 57 years ago. Thetford has always been delicious, the service unfailingly professional but friendly and the portions more than generous. I love it.”

“Absolutely wonderful food and fantastic service. Mancef (hope I've spelt it correctly!) Is the perfect host. Prawns were cooked to perfection and the Tabula salad fresh and crisp and bursting with flavour. The atmosphere is relaxed and accomodating. Thank you for making our weekend :)”

“A hidden gem. We had our reunion lunch here a couple of weeks ago. we have been doing this for a number of years and the food is always fantastic, service quick and friendly and always a great atmosphere . How they can offer, to a large group, such a great range of meals to such a high standard is beyond me. We have already booked for next year !”

“A sensational afternoon tea experience. The teas were unusual and delicious. The food, both savory and sweet, was freshly made, and of superior quality. Topping it all off, an elegant yet understated atmosphere with friendly, attentive service. A special thanks to the sweet blonde waitress who helped us with our language skills with uncommon patience and attention.”

“I recently ordered from Rosana Spice for a Wednesday night dinner and was really impressed. The food was phenomenal: fresh, tasty, and beautifully cooked.especially butter chicken was so good the sauce was creamy and full of that classic Indian flavor I’ll definitely be trying more from their menu.”

“Very nice little Thai restaurant run by 3 adorable ladies. Watch out when they bring out the sizzling beef and its smoke haha but beside that the dishes are tasty, the service attentive and the room not too loud. The Menu A Standard is perfect selection. The soup and the curry were delicious. The Ice cream is not very exciting though. Conveniently located less than 10 min walk from Richmond station.”

“The best Italian restaurant in all of London. Exceptional service, wonderful food, pleasant atmosphere. It's my favorite restaurant.”

“Lovely cafe, bigger than it looks. Large selection of home made snacks and pastries. Great atmosphere. Perfect for breakfast”

“My wife and I were rushing to the airport and got a bit lost, some train lines were closed, and stumbling upon this place in a hurry and quite hungry. We ordered two pork bao and two Thai milk teas. The bao was freshly handmade on the spot, and super juicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The Thai milk tea was equally satisfying, perfectly hitting the spot. The service was impressively quick, which was a lifesaver given our tight schedule. We ordered, waited just a few minutes, ate, and were back on our way. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We’ll definitely return the next time we’re in the UK.”

“Beautiful little cafe nestled near Kew Gardens Train station! Obviously a popular pitstop for locals and tourists. We enjoyed a lovely coffee and croissant here last week and we were really impressed.”

“This is the cafe in the heart of downtown Richmond. Everyone will pass by this cafe, so it is the ideal place to drink one of your coffees of the day. The friendly staff will serve you with a smile. The tables outside become breathtaking on sunny days since they have a place where the sun can see them. One of the few cafes in the area that serve espresso in its glass and no bigger, (espresso lovers will love it).”

“The best Breakfast in the area!! Proper English Breakfast, delicate coffee, super friendly staff, not noisy inside at all... That is what you need for a hangover :) Seriously: the owner/boss is a great guy and it is not only my opinion, the staff says the same too and maybe this is the recipe for Cappuccino success. Always smiling Klaudia and Asia will help you with delicious choices, been there so many times, just love it! Kids friendly place too, no matter how busy the place is. Merry Christmas from Maciej and family... and C u after New Years!! :)”

“Lovely impromptu coffee stop in East Putney. Decaf americano excellent as was my cheese tomato egg toastie especially made on request. Thanks for a really nice experience!”

“I’ve been visiting this lovely café in Putney quite often lately, and it’s become one of my go-to spots in the area. The atmosphere is calm and inviting never too noisy, just the right place to relax, read, or catch up with friends. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and there’s a genuine warmth in the service that makes you feel welcome every time you walk in. The coffee is consistently good, smooth and full of flavor. You can tell they care about quality; every cup feels freshly made. But what truly stands out here is their banana bread it’s freshly baked every morning, perfectly moist, and has that subtle hint of cinnamon that makes it irresistible. It’s simple but absolutely delicious, and no surprise that it sells out quickly during the day. Beyond coffee and pastries, the food menu is also impressive. They have tasty brunch options and light meals that are fresh, well-prepared, and nicely presented. Everything feels made with care rather than rushed or pre-made. Overall, this place has a really nice vibe great coffee, fresh food, and genuinely kind people. Definitely worth a visit if you’re around Putney!”

“I had black Americano and my wife had cappuccino, we both really enjoyed our drinks a lot. My Americano had that light fruity aftertaste that you often only find with very high quality, it was genuinely very delicious. The interior is relaxing, calm and light and we really appreciate the soft music as well, not at all over the top. I love what this place is going for, as I am new to the area it's nice to find a place nearby that I know I can be comfortable in. The woman serving us on Monday 6th was also very kind.”

“I recently visited Artisan Coffee, just a short 5-minute walk from Putney Station, and had such a lovely experience! There’s an Italian barista there who truly stands out – she is warm, hospitable, and has such a kind, welcoming presence. She makes excellent coffee with great attention to detail, and her patience and friendly attitude toward every customer really make the café feel special. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet genuinely caring. Highly recommend this spot for both the amazing coffee and the wonderful service!”

“We had our Work Christmas Lunch on 18/12/2025, the Christmas menu was AMAZING! Plenty of food on the plate, we ordered some extra trimmings, which wasn't necessarily needed but definitely happy we had them as the food was sooo good we just could stop eating! Service was friendly and the whole lunch was a success. All my team commented afterwards how great the Christmas Lunch was this year. Thank you very much!”

“Couldn't have asked for better service, food and accommodation for the weekend of my sister's wedding. Eanna and Lara were attentive and very professional. The venue was immaculate and everyone had a wonderful time. 10/10 would recommend the queen's head for wedding receptions!”

“Great London pub steeped in Music history. Simple menu with good food. Friendly welcoming staff. Recommend to book a table to sure if you are planning to eat. Live music a great experience. Highly recommend a visit.”

“I hired dop kick Johnny's for my 30th and it was fantastic! Amazing Christmas decorations, perfect service and venue. Special mention to Georgia who put up with bad singing rogue drink orders. You really made the day so special, thank you to the whole team!”

“Well Heeellllloooooo All Bar One :) where have you been?? cannot remember one that had such good food, service, decor! Don't want to say something negative about food or other things at other locations, but seriously the service here is AMAZING!!! Friendly and attentive. Food was beautiful and tasted it as well. Good music doesn't hurt either :)”

“Difficult to find descriptive words without sounding OTT. Was astounding. Value, excellent, tasty, great atmosphere, friendly, comfortable and although massively popular and busy still had ample seating. The best dining experience for several years. Thanks to Lia and Leon. Will see you again on another trip.”

“We came for a "proper Sunday roast" and it did not disappoint! The food was phenomenal and service equally wonderful. We split a beef roast, mussels and smoked salmon pate for our family of 3. We finished with the Christmas pudding. It was more than enough and each dish was spot on! The staff were friendly and attentive and the ambiance was everything one would hope for an English pub. Highly recommend!”

“Wonderful experience and lovely interior that introduces hair cuts to the littles in the most fun and entertaining way. The hairdresser is incredibly experienced, patient and kind. She cut our toddler's hair perfectly and charged a fraction of what you would pay at other children's hair salons in London. Highly recommended! And also, do go for the first haircut package, it's absolutely worth it.”

“I was quite scared at first to get my hair cut because I don’t get it done often and I was over the moon after and I still am!!! Everyone in there was lovely and my hairdresser was so focused the whole time but still chatty and friendly.And of course my hairdresser was cut brilliantly. 27384893/10 recommend.”

“Had a cut twice already with two different barbers. Arguably the best barbers in Richmond. Attention to detail and professionalism. Nothing less but 5 Stars !!”

“Abie and her team are great… Super friendly service and lovely staff. Best salon in SW London and great value for money. They check in throughout your manicure to make sure you are happy, offering teas and coffees and the loyalty card is great. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!”

“Excellent service! Always like coming here, it is my go-to nail place for manicures and pedicures. My nails look beautiful now! There is such a good range of colours and services. Thank you!”

“This is a very cosy delicatessen with a great range of Italian products in accessible prices, classics such as Pan di Stelle (my favourite) but also with a carefully selected and sourced choice of cheese and ham from Italy and many other great gourmet foods (Sicilian olive oil and pistachio cream changed my life ”
