Drinking establishments in Kingston Upon Thames

“Honestly hands down for another GREAT roast I’ve had in England. And the fact I got a table on the day was even more surprising. The pudding it’s the best I had so far!!! I can’t thank enough to the staff politeness.”

“Hands down best coffee in Kingston. Lovely and friendly staff and efficient service, even on a very busy Sunday. Toastie was delightful! Would recommend!”

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

“Brilliant local independent family run, proper old skool pub for drinkers. I'm lucky to live right opposite. Great atomosphere, always friendly. Nice seating area at the front. Very reasonable prices. Try it out! There is no food here, but some snacks and small bites sometimes. Now has a nice garden area at the back.”

“Chilli Cha Cha’s in Kingston Upon Thames Marketplace has excellent customer service and delicious, freshly cooked food to order in front of you. I love the pakoras and wouldn’t buy them anywhere else. The aromas are amazing and very enticing. Lovely owner and staff.”

“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”

“Positioned right on the river Thames. Sit and enjoy an ice cream or coffee and light lunch. On a beautiful day it's heaven to sit there and then stroll into Kingston or Surbiton. Great selection of vegan items”

“​The Mill is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. I'm a regular here for a reason—the coffee is perfect every time, and the menu has so many great options. The team is fantastic, especially Cali, who is always so lovely and provides exceptional service with a smile. It's the perfect place to meet friends, study, or just grab a quiet moment to yourself. I can't recommend it enough!”

“Great place lively and friendly and well run by Josie and Andy. We attended a 50th birthday party it was fantastic.”

“The finest slow-cooked beef rib I have ever encountered. This dish was a revelation: perfectly succulent, masterfully cooked, and bursting with depth of flavor. An absolutely unforgettable plate. I would wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to everyone.”

“We went there to see "as December falls". I will be honest, I'm in my late 40's and went mainly to support my youngest (20). I can honestly say I really enjoyed myself, it had the vibe of a rock/metal gig venue from 25-30 years ago, everyone looking out for each other, but with a modern twist, a new generation following the old school values of doing their best to just love the music and doing all the can to help others enjoy it too. The other thing that struck me is the price of drinks, here in Surrey we are sadly used to being hammered by drink prices, and I fully expected the drinks to be on the he pricey side, especially as we were a captive audience, that had choice but pay the prices they charged. The date was the 15/08/2025 and 2 single vodkas with cranberry came to £11 (something). I have paid a lot more in places I have enjoy far less in the area. Finally, without going into detail, we had some additional needs, we needed a chair for the gig part, and honestly it was no trouble, we told one person at the bar, I didn't catch his name, but but the time we got into the gig part, all the staff knew, and were descreetly on hand if needed Thanks to all the staff at the fighting cocks, those at banquet records who ran the music part, and to As December Falls for a brilliant albeit hot and sticky night”

“Really tasty food, good service, and kind staff. I would go back. If you like home-style Middle Eastern food, give this place a visit.”

“Good food！the drink and desert is so beautiful and attentive. The food is also very delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. The staff inside is super enthusiastic and friendly, and the recommended dishes and wine are so impressive. I really like it!”

“I’ve been living in London for quite a while, and today I had one of the best experiences of my life. The atmosphere was incredibly warm and friendly, and I had the best cappuccino I’ve ever tasted. Thank you for such a lovely experience — I’ll definitely be coming back! ☕✨”

“Had a drink and bite to eat whilst waiting for my car to have it's MOT. Had the Panini meal deal - really tasty and great value. Very good service too, will be back :)”

“Great coffee from very knowledgeable baristas. I will say the flavours are great, I’m not particularly fond of the Ethiopian blend by my partner loved it. Price was fair and reasonable. The coffee prep techniques is far superior to any coffee shops in the locality. The atmosphere was great, people were playing board games etc and the smell was amazing when you first walk in. The cookies were also great. Only slight gripe was that I was charged for a standard coffee for 2 however I wanted the V60. When I mentioned this I was refunded straight away although was told this would take 3-5 working days to debit and then I was charged properly for the V60. I think that this could have been handled better and an additional charge just for the uplift only - again this was only minor and didn’t bother me too much, but might not have been great if I didn’t have the extra money in my bank. Will visit again and again when in the area.”

“The Norbiton in (funnily enough) Norbiton, east of Kingston. A lovely, shabby chic, corner pub with high ceilings and a very open family feel to it. A large dining area and a huge patio garden at the back of the house. Lovely staff with a good sense of humour. They are fast, efficient and friendly. A super, different place to visit, enjoy a drink and some simple pizza oriented dining. A most enjoyable visit, highly recommended.”

“Fantastic Sunday roast, always our 1st choice of pub in Kingston when heading out as a family. Staff are really friendly and it has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Spring Grove has never disappointed us, top pub!”

“We popped in during the week around lunch time. Great pub, chilled vibes - they were playing vinyl LPs, great garden and opposite the park. Great beer selection and decent hot dog. Half price between 12 and 3pm, bonus!”

“Great little shop with all the grocery essentials you might need. Very friendly staff too!”

“We ate outside and watched the busy world go by. Very attentive service, nice appetizers and delicious pizzas. We thoroughly enjoyed our late afternoon meal there.”

“We were walking along the riverfront and looking for a place to have a few drinks. None of the usual bars caught our eye, but the cocktail mene here did, so we went in. I have had the burgers before, and they are delicious, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cocktails too. The vibe and atmosphere was great too! Not just a good burger joint;)”

“A lovely little gem in Hampton Wick! The staff at Pomegranate are super friendly and welcoming, and the food is fantastic. The pasta is delicious, the bacon baguettes are the best! The perfect quiet local spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Highly recommend!”

“I was visiting Kingston from out of town and popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great customer service, and the food was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back with a book for a nice cup of coffee when I’m next in Kingston.”

“The Almond Croissant was really good but wasn't the biggest fan of the Biscoff Latte and it didn't have a very Biscoff flavour.”

“A great family run pub with lovely, personable staff and amazing food! They really went above and beyond to cater to the vegan and vegetarian members of our party - the curry in particular was delicious! A brilliant meal in the sunshine on their lovely terrace!”

“Very nice pub. Good drinks. Great Greek food. Authentic gyros! Good bands play there too.”

“Like walking back into the 1970s. But in a good way. Had a couple of pints here with mates last night. The beer selection was a bit bizarre, with lots of porters and stout, but I was quite happy with a pale from Exeter Brewery. The team are super friendly and having left a bag behind, I was amazed when someone not only picked up the phone at 1045, but said they'd found it. The decor is like something from Minder in the early 80s. Terrible lighting in parts but there are areas that are more dimly illuminated. Probably a good thing! There's also a pool table and a couple of darts boards which is awesome. The audio system also sounds like it's on its last legs but I'm sure it's had a good innings! Anyway, who needs music. They had Morris dancers performing in the garden to last night. Definitely pay this place a visit!”

“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. :-)”
