The 30 Best Cozy dining in Richmond

“It was a stupidly hot late June day and as we were traveling back from Hampton Court Palace, we met a local whose parents also happened to be staying at the same hotel (The Selwyn) as us. We were on the last leg of four straight weeks of international travel and safari…we were EXHAUSTED and wanted a good simple dinner super close to the hotel and The Red Cow was recommended to us. The bartender was awesome, but made my day when he noticed how hot and tired we looked and brought me a pint glass filled to the brim with ice, to go with my fruity cider I was trying. Divine! Small gesture, big impact. Enjoyed a delicious dinner, football match on the tv, and we’d stay here instead of The Selwyn next visit. Also, don’t recall the name of this drink he recommended, but it was perfect at the end of a long, hot day. Thank you!”

“Went there with the family, I had the chicken pizza and the amazing volcano Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The complementary olives and the tasty small bread were as tasty as well. Cant recommend the place enough. The staff was friendly and experience. you should definitely try it soon.”

“The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pizza was the best I have had.”

“Great new cafe in Richmond (where Patisserie Valerie used to be). Excellent coffee and healthy takeaway lunches. Cocktails available too apparently. A new favourite.”

“This was my first time dining here, and I was impressed with the quality of my meal. The staff were friendly, the service was speedy, and the atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant. I would recommend Kurk Grill Bar for a light evening meal and catch-up with friends. The portions are just right, so one felt sufficiently satisfied and not over-full, and the prices were more than reasonable.”

“Fantastic food & vibe! First time trying a Maki roll: massive, extremely tasty, 100% recommend! Will certainly be back for more!”

“Visited for Sunday brunch today, 10/7/22 and it was fantastic. Staff were lovely and efficient and it’s a really nice venue. Not sure why it isn’t busier! The brunch was brilliant. I’d definitely recommend the mushroom marmite eclairs - they’re addictive! Will definitely return.”

“Food was so amazing, biriyani and naan is delicious i will strongly recommend this restaurant. Nice ambiances friendly staff. Thank you Lal Bagh”

“Stopped in early on a Saturday night for dinner as I’ve passed this restaurant multiple times and finally made it in to dine. The menu is straightforward and the food is absolutely delicious- pasta cooked to perfection and all the flavors complimenting each other. I went for the carbonara, good flavor and generous bits of bacon, and had olives to start which were marinated very nicely in herbs. Absolute gem of a place, will definitely be back!”

“PizzaExpress is a solid choice for a reliable, tasty meal. The pizzas are fresh with a good crust and well-balanced toppings, and the menu has something for everyone. Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere make it a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner.”

“Great service and lovely food. Stoped by after detailing and valeting some cars in the Richmond area. Will be back again for sure. Thanks”

“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.”

“Reopened after refurbishment. Atmosphere is great & exactly what you want for a cosy English pub. Great pub grub, good drinks selection & friendly/helpful staff/service. Great addition to local area & dog friendly (Guinness approves)!”

“Really smart pub close to Putney station. Evidently geared up to show sports considering the amount of screens everywhere. Nice air conditioning keeping the place cool. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Very nice alcohol free called days. Friendly welcoming service. Nice enclosed beer garden at the rear also with screens. Overall definitely worth a visit.”

“Came in with my family for a last minute Sunday roast. Staff were all lovely and the roasts were even better. Very impressive portions and the gravy is hands down the best I have ever had with a roast, it had such a depth of flavour I am still thinking about it and would literally drink it on its own. Chef also seemed sweet, waved at us through the pass and sent out extra yorkies as we were the last table of the night. Will defo be back.”

“Very nice pub in a nice location next to the train line. Delicious food and great service.”

“Had a fabulous lunch here today to celebrate Chinese New year. It was all good the but the whole steamed seabass was exceptional. It was cooked to perfection. Moist and juicy and full of flavour!”

“Excellent small coffee bar, in fact two of them , both are inside Richmond station, inside the barriers. Good coffee , sandwiches, snacks and good friendly service. Makes a railway journey on a cold wet day a whole lot better. Bon Voyage.”

“Soltani. Cubed Lamb Fillet & Kofte Kebab My first time Persian food. Really good actually.❤️”

“Heard about This Restaurant from Someone and tried it today, Food is Tasty and service is also good. Fresh Clay-Oven Bread is nice to have with Humus. Restaurant has historic touch in its atmosphere. Overall good experience!!!”

“Had a lovely experience here, reasonable prices and I got a free cake!! What sweeties!! Thank you team :)”

“A wonderful place for coffee and cakes. An excellent selection, fresh and very flavourful. Prices are high, but that’s expected based on the location”

“An oasis of calm (and great food) in the middle of Richmond. Great for the Station, the River and the Park it serves a mixture of wraps, salads, baguettes and baked potatoes. Lovely tea and coffee, nice family feel and great music! And not expensive!”

“By far the most most accommodating pub for private events!! We recently had our Christmas party hosted at The Victoria Inn by the most incredible staff, Emma and Ian. They welcomed our vision with open arms, allowing us to take over the full pub inside and out! Applying graphic to the outside of the pub, renaming the pub for the night, dress and theme the inside, provide our own entertainment (musical bingo singer and a DJ!) and even wore branded t shirts all evening, all with a smile! The planning process with Emma was seamless, she has the best ideas and wants to make your private event so special. This shows, our guests couldn't stop raving about the homely and friendly atmosphere. I'll undoubtedly be choosing The Victoria Inn for future private events - the best venue for an unforgettable night - thank you!!”

“Had a great experience today in East Sheen with my sister and brother in law. An absolutely delicious cup of coffee. Your colleague Dexter looked after us and was so passionate and helpful I thought he deserved a mention. What a great coffee ambassador you have there. I will definitely be back when I am next in East Sheen! Best regards Andrew”
