Date night in Richmond

“We visited as a party of 6 without having booked and they were able to accommodate us in spite of being quite busy. We ordered starters and a main course and all really enjoyed our meals. the restaurant was clean, well decorated and had gentle music playing in the background which provided a very nice atmosphere. The meal was excellent value.”

“We have just rounded off a fantastic weekend trip to watch the rugby with a fantastic Sunday roast at the White Horse in Richmond. A really brilliant proper pub with a superb Sunday lunch menu that catered for all our family. The Pork Belly bites were incredible and the Cauliflower Cheese you could eat on its own… a must try! The staff were brilliant and easily the nicest roast I’ve had in years!”

“Great local pub with extensive drinks selection, pool tables and darts. They don't serve food, just bar snacks.”

“The best meal we have had during this visit. Maybe the best for over 20 years. Very complex dishes with multiple textures. I will be making the oxtail croquettes myself when I get home if I can recreate the crumb. The amazing poached pear dessert is well beyond my skill level.”

“Enjoyed lunch today at the Watermans.The food was really excellent and the portions were very generous.The pub has recently been renovated and they have done a really great job on the decor and ambience. We came here under the First Table offer so the meal was excellent value.The staff were delightful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the gastro pub. We will definitely come again and can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“La Piazza is, by far, one of the best restaurants in the area. Having been a few times before, I knew what a great place it was: friendly, welcoming and with delicious food, prepared and served with genuine passion by the owner. And this occasion was no exception. Rubik’s hospitality was - as usual - second to none, and he made my dinner date with a friend very special.”

“Great cafe in Putney. Ignore the chains on the high street and you'll be rewarded. Good range of gluten free cakes, smoothies, coffees.”

“The food was amazing especially the miso aubergine. Great service. Definitely going back! The vibe here is very cosy, great for date night or chilling after a long day. Although it can get booked pretty fast even on weekdays.”

“Exceptionally airy with a crisp foundation! Truly delightful! The mozzarella sticks were tasty as well, although they could benefit from a bit more seasoning.”

“We had an incredible experience at this small family-run Lebanese restaurant! The owners were exceptionally friendly, guiding us through the menu and suggesting delightful dishes. The variety of both meat and vegetarian options allowed us to savor an array of flavors. The cozy atmosphere and fresh, delicious food make it a must-try spot. A gem in the culinary scene!”

“What a lovely experience, visited Jaflong after reading the raving reviews with my family. So glad we came, the staff were amazing and so friendly! There were so informative, and helpful. The house dishes and the king prawn Lajawab were amazing, not forgetting onion bhajis, it was exquisite.”

“Always a wonderful experience here! The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The food is consistently delicious. It’s the kind of place you can count on for both quality and service every time. Highly recommend!”

“We ere recommended by friends and visited after a day at Kew Gardens. An amazing Indian dining experience! The butter chicken is rich and flavorful, the naan perfectly soft and crisp, and the samosas are crispy with a deliciously spiced filling. The mushroom rice was recommended and it didn’t disappoint. Paired with friendly service and a welcoming ambiance! Thanks”

“This restaurant is absolutely outstanding. The cuisine is incredibly delicious, and the truffle pasta is simply unforgettable — rich, fragrant, and perfectly cooked. The desserts are on another level, each one more amazing than the last. The staff is exceptionally attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for exceptional Italian food, this place is a true gem, conveniently located near Richmond Station. Highly recommended!”

“Quality. Variety. Been going here for a couple of decades. Consistently excellent. Always a nice welcome and attentive and confident service. Really good breakfast choices. Wide salad selection. Just addicted !”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent service and delicious food. Spaghetti mare and lasagne accompanied by a carafe of the perfect inky house red.?Desserts also excellent. Only disappointment was the expression and flat white. Bitter and little aroma.”

“We had the most fantastic service from all of the team especially Usha who was wonderful in helping with a few challenges as our daughter and partner were delayed in traffic. They transformed what could have been a stressful time into a lovely family occasion. Food quality was lovely and a perfect spacious setting and atmosphere to have a large group together. Would very highly recommend, we a great Sunday afternoon there. A special thank you to Usha for being so flexible, friendly and going above and beyond for us!!”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“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.”

“I visited Pizza Express in East Sheen recently, and overall, it was a solid dining experience. We started with the classic Dough Balls – always a winner – soft and warm, with plenty of garlic butter. For mains, I went with the American, which had a nice kick and crispy thin crust. The service was friendly and fairly quick. The Staff were attentive and child friendly. My kids enjoyed the Piccolo menu. I would surely go back – especially with their seasonal offers and kids eat free deals.”

“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.”

“Highly recommended due to the warm, welcoming and professional team in charge. Had lunch ahead of the rugby at Twickenham and we were well looked after. Great food too!”

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

“Not sure about the other reviews but I thought this place is arguably one of the most authentic restaurants in the area. I loved the pizza and pasta we shared - sorry no photos of the Ndjua pizza or sage / butter ravioli as we were too busy eating it! Would highly recommend- avoid the tourist traps and go here. Did I mention the Tiramisu?”

“A fantastic experience at Taj Mahal in Richmond! The Karahi Lamb was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor. The ambience is beautiful and vibrant, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable meal - I went with my wife for Valentine’s Day and it did not disappoint. The service provided by the colleague was excellent, making our dining experience truly enjoyable. Highly recommended to visit when you’re in Richmond.”

“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!!!”

“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!!”
