Local recommendations in Richmond

“I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Aga at Trevor Sorbie Richmond, and it genuinely exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, she created a space that felt calm, kind, and completely attuned to me. I’d shared that I have ADHD - something I often hesitate to mention - but she picked up on exactly how best to work with that. She explained things clearly, without overwhelm, and made it easy for me to ask questions and feel at ease just being myself. That kind of intuitive empathy is rare. What really stood out, though, is her expertise. She’s not just skilled - she’s deeply knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about her craft. We talked through their new colour system (Yuv) and how to achieve a look that would be both long-lasting and flattering as it grows out. Her recommendations were spot on, and the result is both effortless and elevated - subtle highlights with face-framing that really lifts the whole look. The salon itself is lovely (the massage chairs at the backwash were bliss), and I left with sleek, healthy hair and a big smile on my face. See the photos — they say it all. I can't recommend her highly enough.”

“I had a fantastic experience with Mustafa—hands down one of the best barbers I've been to. He took his time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure I was completely happy with the cut before finishing up. You can tell he really takes pride in his work, and it shows in the final result. Highly recommend Mustafa if you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and actually listens to what you want. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“A great approach to buying healthier food, avoiding plastic packaging + a good range of choice & helpful staff”

“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.”

“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.”

“Absolutely authentic Thai food, felt just like in Thailand. The service was super good too, extremely friendly and the prices are reasonable. A place surely worth recommending, we will come back!”

“This restaurant is awesome and the food is better than better. Awesome place to eat.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Extremely good quality food and generous portions. I'm a minicab driver, have eaten from a lot of places and this is one of the best!”

“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!”

“I had my hair done by Zakir, and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. I trust his expertise completely. after trying many hairdressers in the past, no one comes close to his level of skill. His attention to detail and the way he explains everything are truly top-tier. I recommend him to everyone I know. When I walked out of the salon, three people immediately complimented my hair and asked where I had it done! Thank you, TopOne. I’ll definitely be returning soon.”

“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!!”

“We’re currently in the process of moving to a new home, and we’ve been lucky to have Vanessa helping us through it. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly kind, supportive, and genuinely caring. The whole experience of viewing and going through references can be quite stressful, but Vanessa made it feel so much easier. She’s been responsive, patient, and just a lovely person to deal with. We haven’t signed the contract yet, but we already feel so grateful for her help. Thank you, Vanessa — you’ve made a stressful process feel much more manageable!”

“As a huge fan of Persian & Iranian cuisine, I have to say that this place is a solid 10. The garlic and sesame naan was fragrant and deliciously paired with the juicy koobideh kebab. The rice were fragrant and the flavours enhanced when we asked for some butter to go with them. Good indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive service. Fair pricing about £25pp”

“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!”

“Wonderful little brunch cafe with excellent food and friendly service! The cafe is nice, with a chilled out, relaxed feel to it. Lots of seating in the garden outside and some tables on the street at the front. The food is excellent. Very tasty. Full English was done very well with excellent quality sausages!”

“Excellent location, very easy to get to and set up in a good space. These guys fitted me in about an hour after I called them, for a spot half hour before they closed on a Thursday afternoon which was a really nice touch! Excellent service, great price (visit their website for a little treat) and friendly treatment. Will definitely take my bikes back there for MOTs and possibly even services!”

“Very nice shop with a good range of food and drinks etc. Plus a cosy cafe area with outside and inside seating. Turkish based but very friendly and helpful. Serves breakfast as well and is open 7am to 7pm 6 days and 9am to 6pm Sundays.”

“I always get my weekly organic eggs, bread, pasta, and wine from this store, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. They have a wide selection of organic goods, ensuring I have everything I need for my meals. Both Ish and Jas are incredibly helpful and make every visit pleasant.”

“Surprised to have set lunch menu at weekend. Excellent food with affordable price, £24.5 for 2 courses and 27.5 for 3 courses. The staff is friendly.”

“Very nice little cafe, service is unbelievably fast an yet you don’t feel rushed. The food quality and quantity was just right and for the location it was extremely well priced. Very nice inside and the decor is very traditional and inviting. I would recommend to anyone looking for some light lunch or breakfast.”
