Classical atmosphere in Kingston Upon Thames

“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!”

“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!”

“Its a great place, a bit rough around the edges but lovely atmosphere, good buzz, really friendly staff and people. Drinks are super cheap. Need to normally be a member, but they also have occasional non member events like the beer festival.”

“We visited here on a Saturday around 3pm for a celebration dinner. We booked in advance for inside seating. There is outside seating which is perfect on a sunny date as right next to the river. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations for food and drinks. We all opted for three courses, they do have weekend set Menus which is worth a look. All the meals arrived in perfect timing, they gave enough time between each meal so it wasn’t rushed. Everything was cooked beautifully and a really enjoyable meal. We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the drinks. Didn't try the food though but lots of dif areas and spacs to drink”

“I specifically wanted to compliment your door staff. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they are the main reason my friends and I chose to enter the venue. Their professionalism and positive attitude made a fantastic first impression. Thank you for providing such a great experience.”

“Came in for lunch,which was really good and great price. Then found there was a shufl board and had fun playing. Half an hour for £8. Joey was really helpful and friendly. And was really good with all his customers.”

“I rate 5 star for the service as all the staff are fantastic, 5 stars for the lovely cakes, but sadly, only a 1 star for the atmos/ambience because the new owners, I believe, decided to remove the beautiful piano that I used to adore playing there. Also it was linked to constant background piano notes, cleverly playing out of the piano while no one played it. That really was quite relaxing and unique whilst enjoying the food and cakes, and after my weekly office job , I would look forward to my visits there at the weekends to unwind and sometimes play.. A great hub and centrepiece has been ripped out of the heart of the cafe. It blended in very well and also was a fine backdrop against the old churchyard opposite through the tall windows. I just was preparing my Xmas carols repertoire and some more new lyrics when I visited there last Saturday, but my piano was gone!”

“Sad to see the end of an era Shutting down At least i got a keepsake”

“Agata and the team were just delightful. Thank you for all your help and support in finding my perfect dress. Took all the stress out of finding the perfect dress for a special occasion .”

“Great shopping centre . All you could need under 1 roof without going into london”

“I love this shop. Have always liked Ghost clothes. Such great prices on non refundable items. Plenty of dresses to choose from as well as trousers tops and skirts. Good for holidays or special occasion. Also lovely new stock at full price.”

“Lovely food and the general vibe is very friendly too :)”

“Ordered off them Almost religiously for the last year and their pizza is so tasty always cooked just right and delivered super fast! All their drivers have all been polite and very kind to the kids that lie to answer the door with me... I felt like it was time I gave them a review as I know not enough people remember to review amazing service! I'm usually one of those people but a recent trip to another ocal pizza place was shambolic and made me realise how amazing and faultless these guys are! They always have lots of deals on and are very reasonably priced with them! I only wished they accepted cash but I understand why they don't right now and hopefully this option will return once things are "normal" again! Look forward to many future pizzas from these guys I won't be going elsewhere.”

“Wow!!! This is a fantastic and convenient spot to get sushi whenever you want it. This is because this sushi gourmet place has a large range of options and choice. The choices vary from the simplicity of a Nigiri to salads and big rolls. It has options of small and £10 boxes of nigiri and other sushi rolls and bigger portions of £20 that are more complicated rolls. It has deliveroo as takeaway and delivery service. However, it’s in Sainsbury’s in the centre right at the back of the store. This doesn’t mean that it has a bigger difference on this gourmet style and other Japanese restaurant. It only contains sushi and not brothers or other Japanese dishes as it’s only a Sushi Gourmet. When I go there I always get the nigiri rolls because they’re fresh and simple and also delicious. I’ve also been to other Japanese authentic restaurants and it’s different regarding the taste of the sushi because it’s not a chain but a single restaurant. However it’s not that big of a difference regarding freshness.”

“Not had fish and chips for years. Looked up where to go as my son requested a bday treat while keeping up his lent restrictions. Our meals were all very good, especially the size and batter on the fish. Was crispy, not wet or stodgy at all. The owner Sam was very friendly, welcoming and went out of his way to accommodate us. He even threw in extra chips and a really lovely fresh salad for free. My mum was fascinated by how clean the shop was too. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others. All over great experience from start to finish!!”

“Delicious food, quick service, central location (hidden away). We’ve had the carbonara, spinach & ricotta ravioli, crab ravioli, black spaghetti with seafood*, lemon & prawn linguine*, black seafood risotto and wild boar ravioli. All were super tasty. Also the feta with honey is so good. Great selection of juices, smoothies, coffee. Delighted to realise Nakos is now open in the evenings for dinner too! And dog friendly. (*see photos). Nakos has become my favourite place to eat in Kingston!”

“This place is under new management and is truly changed for the better, the new rotund boss has made some brilliant changes. Tom who resembles the jolly round butcher we all grew up with, has rebranded as a ‘Tea and sausage sandwich emporium’. You can come and enjoy your pot of lapsang suchong and bacon sarnie until late afternoon. The colourful range of local clientele also makes each visit similar to a visit to the zoo! Well worth a visit! Honestly the only coffee shop in town that is worth frequenting!”

“I had an amazing experience with Gentian! He did my keratin, botox, and hair colour treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He was so attentive, professional, and kind throughout the whole process, making sure I was comfortable and happy with every step. My hair feels and looks incredible now – shiny, healthy, and beautifully coloured. I truly appreciate the care and detail he put into his work. Highly recommend Gentian for anyone looking for top-quality hair treatments and a wonderful salon experience!”

“great barbers- i’ve been here loads and they’ve never failed to impress- very nice and pleasant hairdressers as well.”

“Had an amazing experience at the barbershop today. The owner is super friendly and has such a bright, welcoming personality. The attention to detail was next level - I walked out feeling fresh and looking sharp. Highly recommend this spot if you want great vibes and a perfect cut!”

“I’ve been going to Corleone Barbers for about a year now, and they’ve been consistently excellent. The team is friendly, professional, and always delivers sharp, clean cuts. Great attention to detail and a relaxed atmosphere. Easily the best barber experience I’ve had — highly recommend!”

“There isn’t a better place to be getting your haircut than this. Team is wonderful and so friendly. Could not recommend a better place”

“Really great Chinese takeaway. Much better than some of the other Chinese takeaways in the area that I've tried, and at a competitive price. I'll definitely be back as long as quality stays consistent.”

“The taste of the middle east right in the centre of Kingston. Food here taste heavenly”

“Very welcoming cafe with much appreciated bike stands! Really enjoyed the lentil soup”

“Saw T J Johnson here - he is always first class - but the venue was great and a massive thank you yo the lady doing the table service - she made sure the drinks kept coming - and a very happy dispisition”

“My daughter had her ear lobes pierced today and the staff here made her feel so special. When we arrived Rose explained the process really well in a non-scary way, she was really friendly and so easy to chat to. Amy pierced my daughter’s ears and she was clam, patient and just lovely. We received lots of advice on cleaning the piercings and when we left my daughter was given a bravery certificate and stickers. I would definitely recommend and we will be coming back!”

“Amazing experience. The perfect English breakfast. No fuss, just honest old school service and food. Great to see there is such a great place smack in the middle of kingston. Price is excellent. Waiters are amazing. Well done”

“Went on a Saturday 2/3pm overall waited 45 minutes but was worth it! Food was super yummy and the portions are huge (they should never changed that!!!!) I ordered a dirty boy with the rib or beef brisket (can’t remember - but it had no bone) and it was honestly so flavourful. I’m sat at home craving this again but can’t get any because I’m far! Service was amazing and I can’t wait to go again.”
