Drinking establishments in Richmond

“I had the most amazing experience at Rock and Rose in Richmond. The food was great - my friend and I ordered the crispy tempura shrimp, the chicken milanese, the lamb leg steak and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - can't fault anything, tasted amazing! The drinks were delicious too, the bartenders put on a whole show for us and it added to the experience. The staff were all so lovely and hospitable, I loved the decor and ambience inside and it was super packed which goes to show how popular it is. Thank you so much for having us, this place is a hidden gem for sure! Can't wait to return ✨️”

“I went to The Princess Head for a Sunday roast, mainly because it was featured in the American TV series Ted Lasso, and I’ve been exploring the hidden gems of London lately. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the food since touristy spots can be hit or miss, but wow… it completely blew me away. We ordered both the chicken roast and the lamb roast. Both were delicious, though slightly on the expensive side. I had the lamb roast, and it was beyond words; beautifully tender, literally falling off the bone, with rich, velvety gravy, golden roast potatoes cooked to perfection, and creamy cauliflower cheese that tied everything together. The chicken roast was fantastic too, but the lamb was definitely the star of the show. The ambience was warm and inviting, full of charm, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout. You’ll spot quite a few American tourists enjoying the vibe, which adds to the lively, welcoming feel of the place. To top it off, the pub sits right opposite a beautiful little park, and the surrounding street has that quintessential English charm, dotted with small shops selling things related to the show. All in all, it’s the kind of spot that makes you fall in love with London all over again, a true gem I’d highly recommend! ✨”

“I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to. Nicky in Richmond is a jewel in the crown of Majestic and my experience is always great. Not sure if she is a Manager or Regional Manager yet but she deserves to be. Always a smile, great service and assistance with any queries. A solid knowledge of wines, regions and good recommendations. If I was running Majestic I would be endeavouring to retain her at any cost. Having been a customer of Majestic since 2011 in Chiswick, Camberley, and Brentford at times, I have experienced haphazard service at times and certainly a difference in stock per store, but I really appreciate the quality when I do encounter it and this should be commended.”

“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.”

“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!”

“We had a brilliant time at So Bar for a cocktail masterclass! Highly recommend for an event or celebration. The venue is perfect and the team make sure the class is personalised to the group. The cocktails were delicious and Tom and the team made sure everyone had a great time. Definitely recommend thank you So Bar!”

“What a fantastic experiance! I always thought that the Ivy was a somewhat on the more expensive scale but it was class reasonably priced with delicious food, amazing wine selection and fantastic service! The decor was totally magical even in the toilets! Loved it and highly recommend!”

“Lovely little jewel of a cinema tucked off the centre of Richmond. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely visit again in the near future.”

“Atmosphere-superb. Food-superb. Customer service-superb. Deliberating where to have lunch, looking at the menu here when the waiter approached us. The warm welcome lured us in and we were not disappointed. Recommendations for drinks, a very well looked after 9 year old and plates finished. Not residents of London but frequent visitors. This place will be on our list to visit again. Check out their offers if you need a little push!”

“As a photographer, Scots Richmond is such a hidden gem to work at. Tucked away in the beautiful surroundings of Richmond, it offers a lovely mix of charm, character, and style. The space has this warm, intimate feel while still being elegant, which creates the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed yet classy wedding day. From a photography point of view, there are so many great backdrops to work with whether it’s the stylish interiors, the natural light filtering through the windows, or the nearby greenery for outdoor portraits. The team at Scots Richmond are also fantastic super helpful, kind, and genuinely care about making the day run smoothly for everyone involved. It’s definitely one of those venues I’m always happy to return to. Lots of Love Doville Gail Photography”

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

“If you're seeking a delightful and welcoming spot along the Thames in Richmond, you simply must visit this authentic German Beer Garden! Just a short stroll from Richmond Bridge, it boasts incredible, panoramic views towards Richmond Hill. Beyond the scenery, we loved the true family-style experience, complete with shared tables shaded by large umbrellas which are brilliant for protection from the elements. It's clearly a place that embraces everyone, as it's wonderfully pet-friendly. The combination of superb food and a genuine selection of Munich beers made for an unforgettable afternoon. We can't wait to go back!”

“The Afternoon Tea was genuinely faultless from start to finish. It was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. The vegetarian options were superb – particularly the wrap and the tomato/tofu cream. We'll be dreaming of the meringue, eclair and scones for weeks! The staff were so accommodating, attentive and helpful. I'm already looking for another excuse to visit again!”

“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!”

“I came to post some boxes that I sold on eBay with evri. Very professional and very efficient. Owner didn’t waste any time in helping me. Highly recommend!”

“Lovely hidden gem! Best Persian food in town. I have been a couple of times and particularly love their mirza with their home made bread, their leek soup, and their home made cakes! Oh the pomegranate jelly is to die for! A must try!”

“Great for Turkish coffee ☕️ Haven’t tried any food yet”

“Best coffee in the Richmond/Sheen area! Not only that but they have an amazing Italian Deli attached. Owners are the most wonderfully welcoming people who really take the time to get to know their customers and make you feel so loved you can’t help but keep coming back. The closest I have come to an authentic Italian coffee house outside of Italy!”

“By far the best pub in Richmond. We regularly go to the Mitre, as they serve really fresh cask ales that change regularly. They also serve fantastic pizza’s where you can choose your own toppings or have the monthly special. We often get the dough balls as they are the perfect accompaniment to a few pints! Definitely get down there if your in the area!”

“Another excellent dining experience. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. The service attentive and joyful. The food remains of excellent quality. You will feel looked after!”

“I absolutely love it here. Most welcoming cafe in sheen. The family is delightful and I love learning new Turkish words when I come. I love the Borek and the cakes too.”

“Amazing find in Richmond for an Italian or even a Greek coffee. Amazing desserts and the best bacon and egg sandwich in London.”

“Delicious food at a decent price and lovely service. The cafe has been beautifully redecorated too. Plus we could watch our kids in the playground whilst enjoying the fair!!”

“I’ve driven past Sift for the last two years, but today I finally stopped in—and I’m so glad I did. This place is a true Kew gem, serving up smooth cortados and mouth-watering cakes and pastries. I tried the Spanish and feta pie, and it was absolutely spectacular. Don’t miss the chance to check it out!”

“Wow, honestly what can I say. Understated location which packs a punch!! From the second you walk in, greeted by Zam and Sumit who were the best hosts all evening. But even the exceptional service was outshone by the supreme quality of the food. Unable to fault start to finish. Flavours like nothing else in the area. A must visit!!”

“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”

“First time visiting after seeing the positive reviews, and I thought I’d give them a try. I was greeted by two lovely ladies who took my order. I had the Labbuffata breakfast and was blown away! It was so flavorful and beautifully presented. Thank you for the amazing experience!”

“Hawthorn is 100% your new go-to spot in Kew/Richmond. For some background, everyone who I was with for dinner had previously dined at the Glasshouse at some point in their lives, so when we all arrived for dinner at Hawthorn, we were intrigued about how it would compare… AND WOW our expectations were blown out of the water. Not only did we each quite literally lick the plates clean, but we all felt that each course was complex yet also felt so simple and just plain delicious. We heard that the restaurant just opened a couple of weeks ago, but the food tasted as if the chefs have been cooking together for years. Whether you are there for lunch or dinner, either set menu is incredibly well priced (especially when the food quality is at this level). The sommelier is incredible, suggesting perfect pairings for each course to accommodate every taste bud or finding a bottle that works with a table of diners who ordered a mixture of seafood and meat mains! Conveniently it’s also right next to Kew Gardens station or a short walk from Richmond station - very easy to get to and definitely worth a trip. What an amazing new restaurant in Kew!”
