Exceptional culinary experience 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 ✨️”

“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!”

“A super find when we searched for a gastrobar between Roedean & London. Food was excellent, and the service was superb. I appreciated how they tried their best to nudge things along as we had expressed concern over our schedule when we made the reservation. Loved the local garden inclusions in the menu. I would absolutely recommend this space and look forward to returning one day!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“What a hidden gem in Putney! The food was incredible and packed with flavour. The staff were kind and attentive, and it was a real value for money. Highly recommend the poppadoms as a starter!”

“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!”

“My new favourite place! Great atmosphere, you feel like you've been transported to italy. Really tasty sandwiches, pasta and salad dishes and yummy pastry!”

“Lovely restaurant with great atmosphere. Service was exceptional -particularly Julie who looked after us so well. Our evening was a delight and the best pasta we have had for a long time. Even our picky two year old cleared her plate! Will definitely make this a regular visit.”

“The food was amazing . Specially the chicken biryani. The chicken was so tender and soft, just fell off the bone. The staff was also very friendly and hard working.”

“It was such a delight to experience the festive afternoon tea here at The Petersham. The staff and service were excellent and were attentive, the atmosphere was great, I especially loved the magical Snow effect. It was nice to eat delicious food with a lovely view. I highly recommend!”

“We came here for dinner via the Fork. Place is close to Richmond station with free parking nearby after 4:30pm. We got the poppadum. We had the pani puri, sheekh kebab and paneer tikka. All were great with a kick to it. For the main we got Lamb saag and chicken curry with naan and rice. The food was quite spicy and flavourful. Bill was around £55 which is reasonable.”

“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.”

“The best chinese I've ever ever eaten,and i consider my self a chinese connoisseur,so i know my stuff when it comes to chinese food,worth travelling 250mile for, that's for sure.100 percent home made food ,highly highly recommended, will definitely come again !”

“Enjoyed yet another great value and tasty meal this evening, restaurant buzzing. Special dish of the day Thai fishcakes are the best I've had anywhere. Courteous staff even when rushed off their feet this Friday evening. At the moment the best restaurant in East Sheen - and exceptional value for money, and quality of cooking consistently high.”

“Came here with 6 friends of mine post-Twickenham rugby, and the service and food were absolutely amazing. Our waiter was very welcoming and friendly, and the food was delivered quickly. Every one of us had a different dish (from pad thai, to spicy crispy duck, curries, calamari, pork ribs, and more) - every single one was tender and a perfect balance of flavours. I myself got the yellow yellow noodles dish with chicken thighs, and it reminded me a lot of the Chiang Mai/Khao Soi noodles I had when I was in Thailand myself. 5 stars. Highly recommend!”

“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?”

“I have booked the apartment for my brother and sister in - law for a 16 days, they loved the apartment. It is very well equipped, clean, and comfortable and near the shops in St Margaret. Jenny is very kind and made the check- in very easy. Without a doubt I will recommend.”

“came here to have a quick brunch before visiting Kew Gardens and boy were we satisfied. The interior was bright and calming. Service was great and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend for those who want a quick bite before trekking around the Kew”

“Not sure what to make of some of the reviews below but the PT is definitely a hit with the locals. They've definitely never let me down! We had a booking of 20 after work on a busy Friday night and it was one of our best curry nights out. Really looked after us, the owner is a local legend so we'll be back for more!”

“My friend and I had a wonderful time here for dinner and a few cocktails, we would recommend the pornstar martini or a margarita! The service from both Ciaran and Virenti was amazing credit to them for making our evening extra special!”

“I love this shop! It’s an absolute treasure trove and sells everything you can imagine! The staff are so friendly and knowledgable and it’s a brilliant asset to our high street.”

“Lovely local mini market, spotlessly clean and lovely staff.”
