Memorable visit in Richmond

“Malaysian cuisine! Friendly staff and makes you feel very welcomed and comfortable to dine in. Try Makan Makan Fried Rice and tea (hand mixed by Michelle) There's also a Fried Mars Bar!? Worth a try! Restaurant is a bit small with about 5 tables. Reasonably priced.”

“Love, love, love caffè mamma. My favourite is the pollo Milanese - followed by zabaglione, fresh, hot and frothy. Their limoncello spritz is also worth trying. Yum.”

“the views from the cafe are beautiful and very peaceful! the prices were reasonable and there was plenty of seating so we were able to sit outside and take in the view in the lovely weather! the cake was delicious and service was fast. it is only a short walk from the nearby car park and is close to King Henry's Mound! will definitely be returning. :)”

“Being served by Alice. Lovely service and check back. Venison was well cooked as expected. Fish and chips was well cooked. Pickled mushy peas were not exciting. Selection of beer was associate for the food menus. Prices a tad on the upper end.”

“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!!”

“Just left this great classic English local. Absolute great service from the bearded guy behind the bar. You could see he loved his job, he was cleaning, taking care of things, very polite. We felt very welcome. Definitely recommend”

“A neighbourhood pub, that we have frequented over the years. I love the homely, cosy interior, and the staff are very lovely. Often just to have a drink. But we recently discovered that they also do pretty good food. Portion sizes for the dishes are also generous. They provide snacks to nibble on as well like toasted bread and butter, and veggie crisps. But one thing to note is that this is not somewhere you go if you are in a hurry. It looks like they have a very small crew. The food service is very slow, we were waiting for about an hour before our main courses showed up, even when the pub was not even full, and we had come in off-peak times.”

“The home of English Rugby, I still went in. The Sun Inn is a glorious Richmond pub with plenty of rugby pictures and trinkets. Good selection of both cask and keg beers on offer. Great service from the island bar courtesy of the wonderful staff. Love the famous picture of Fran Cotton just after his bath! Super pub!”

“Went there with the family, I had the chicken pizza and the amazing volcano Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The complementary olives and the tasty small bread were as tasty as well. Cant recommend the place enough. The staff was friendly and experience. you should definitely try it soon.”

“Stopped in early on a Saturday night for dinner as I’ve passed this restaurant multiple times and finally made it in to dine. The menu is straightforward and the food is absolutely delicious- pasta cooked to perfection and all the flavors complimenting each other. I went for the carbonara, good flavor and generous bits of bacon, and had olives to start which were marinated very nicely in herbs. Absolute gem of a place, will definitely be back!”

“Can’t recommend these shops highly enough, Henry and the guys at Curated Man are so helpful, they really know their stuff. It’s really a one stop shop for menswear and I love that I can find all the brands I love under one roof - saves hours trudging round various locations in central London. My wife also loves the women’s shop which is right next door, so it’s always an enjoyable experience for us both. Definitely worth paying a visit.”

“Reopened after refurbishment. Atmosphere is great & exactly what you want for a cosy English pub. Great pub grub, good drinks selection & friendly/helpful staff/service. Great addition to local area & dog friendly (Guinness approves)!”

“A fabulous Sunday roast in the dining room. Friendly, efficient staff. The beer garden lovely for a drink also. Great atmosphere !”

“An oasis of calm (and great food) in the middle of Richmond. Great for the Station, the River and the Park it serves a mixture of wraps, salads, baguettes and baked potatoes. Lovely tea and coffee, nice family feel and great music! And not expensive!”

“Old world pub which is an easy walk from Kew Gardens. Has an amazing beer garden, and in fitting with Kew Gardens has a pretty spectacular flower ensemble to enjoy while eating/drinking”

“Had a great experience today in East Sheen with my sister and brother in law. An absolutely delicious cup of coffee. Your colleague Dexter looked after us and was so passionate and helpful I thought he deserved a mention. What a great coffee ambassador you have there. I will definitely be back when I am next in East Sheen! Best regards Andrew”

“Visited Thursday evening 2nd March. Absolutely delicious food, when my friend and I meet up in Richmond every few months we always look forward to dinner at The Swagat, and the food just gets better every time. Thank you, and see you again soon Alan”

“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”

“Super fresh banana breads /different cakes & amazing coffee! Very busy place on the weekends.”

“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!”

“I've just checked out this morning and have to say the overall experience I had during my one night stay was very good. Much better than I had expected having read the recent reviews. Even taking into consideration the budget price, the room was a good size, clean, the bed was comfortable. The dinner and breakfast, though not as good as Premier Inn's, were adequate for the price and the staff on reception and in the dining area were polite and attentive. Not much to improve on in all honesty. Thank you.”

“Found Shipletts on the Richmond tourism website and was a little nervous about not going through something like AirBnB but everything was wonderful. We rented the two bedroom unit by Richmond station for a week. It was spacious and fairly quiet given the location. It was minutes away from the tube/overground and network rail, and close to so many great cafes and shops. We got a comprehensive tour on arrival, and the hosts were nearby in case of any issues. Well equipped kitchen, clean and comfortable. It was a pleasure to come ‘home’ at the end of each days adventures.”

“The best place for all your needs, it provide the best haircut eyebrows.Excellent place to do your personal brush ups and pampering”

“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!”

“Great place to have breakfast- I stayed at the hotel with my wife and we had a great time at breakfast with Maya and her team of waitresses!”

“I really like the cafe in the morning, they serve a good coffee and always fresh pastries/croissant etc. Plenty of other things such as sausages etc are available. Clean space with friendly staff. Plenty of seatings around. Good and accessible WCs. Free water fill machine.”
