Unique drinks in Richmond

“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”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“Came here for our work Christmas lunch and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The atmosphere was warm, festive, and beautifully balanced …lively without being overwhelming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. Bavinchi truly elevated the experience with his attentiveness, kindness, and calm professionalism. He made us feel genuinely welcome and cared for from start to finish, which added a special touch to the whole afternoon. A wonderful place to celebrate together.”

“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.”

“I enjoy the quick in-and-out no wait in line grab and go experience of Amazon Fresh. I have now been half a dozen times and their food is good value and delicious. Ribs, fries, pastries, veg and fruit all good value and quality. The invoice via Amazon web or mobile app also shows you how long you were in the store! NO MORE WAITING!!”

“Visited for Sunday brunch today, 10/7/22 and it was fantastic. Staff were lovely and efficient and it’s a really nice venue. Not sure why it isn’t busier! The brunch was brilliant. I’d definitely recommend the mushroom marmite eclairs - they’re addictive! Will definitely return.”

“Found this place on one of delivery company's website and didn't regret it! The burger was really really nice and very filling (two meat patties) and the Sticky Korean Fried Chicken was pretty good too even though I am not a big fan of peas in rice (it tasted much better than it looks). Will definitely try again!”

“The new menu is amazing I had the trio of cheese cakes for my dessert and they were really great. My friend had the after eight chocolate parfait again the dessert was amazing. With the new menu offerings on the mains top all at great prices we were really impressed. We will be coming again.”

“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)!”

“Riverside dinner was delicious. Taste and service were quite fine. Archie was kind and caring. Yet, (trio meat) sunday roast portion could be larger up to its price. Thanks”

“Really smart pub close to Putney station. Evidently geared up to show sports considering the amount of screens everywhere. Nice air conditioning keeping the place cool. Good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Very nice alcohol free called days. Friendly welcoming service. Nice enclosed beer garden at the rear also with screens. Overall definitely worth a visit.”

“Came in with my family for a last minute Sunday roast. Staff were all lovely and the roasts were even better. Very impressive portions and the gravy is hands down the best I have ever had with a roast, it had such a depth of flavour I am still thinking about it and would literally drink it on its own. Chef also seemed sweet, waved at us through the pass and sent out extra yorkies as we were the last table of the night. Will defo be back.”

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

“Highly recommended due to the warm, welcoming and professional team in charge. Had lunch ahead of the rugby at Twickenham and we were well looked after. Great food too!”

“By far the most most accommodating pub for private events!! We recently had our Christmas party hosted at The Victoria Inn by the most incredible staff, Emma and Ian. They welcomed our vision with open arms, allowing us to take over the full pub inside and out! Applying graphic to the outside of the pub, renaming the pub for the night, dress and theme the inside, provide our own entertainment (musical bingo singer and a DJ!) and even wore branded t shirts all evening, all with a smile! The planning process with Emma was seamless, she has the best ideas and wants to make your private event so special. This shows, our guests couldn't stop raving about the homely and friendly atmosphere. I'll undoubtedly be choosing The Victoria Inn for future private events - the best venue for an unforgettable night - thank you!!”

“We had a lovely lunch after a long walk around all over Richmond hill. It is located minutes from the viewpoint on top of the hill. The staff was polite and attentive. The food tasted good and we thought that for the location, the price was very reasonable too! Will come back in the future!”

“A very pleasant and cosy stay just below Richmond Hill. The place is quaint and has lots of atmosphere. For an older property, the room was spacious and comfortable and had everything I needed. The pub/restaurant downstairs was charming and though I didn't get a chance to eat there, the menu looked delicious. Staff were friendly, and I enjoyed my brief stay and would happily stay again. Note that it's a short walk into town/shops/restaurants, and the walk up to Richmond Hill itself is short but fairly steep if you have any mobility issues. Thanks for the pleasant stay and I hope to visit again.”

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

“We had a fabulous prosecco afternoon tea at the Botanical Brasserie. We used a voucher through virgin experiences for Kew gardens+afternoon tea. You need to pre-book your table for afternoon tea, which we did 3 weeks before and had a lot of selection of times etc. We sat outside with views overlooking the lake and palm house; umbrellas provided welcomed shade. Staff were happy to seat us 45 mins before our booked slot (2.30pm), which was really helpful. The staff were attentive, checking on us regularly and our afternoon tea came out very quickly. The selection of cakes and scones were delicious. The sandwiches were lovely, nothing overly special, but nice all the same. A lovely atmosphere and beautiful afternoon. I'd recommend it.”

“This is such a lovely cafe inside the swimming baths. You can grab a drink from an outside area where you just ring a bell and someone very friendly will come and serve you or if you enter the leisure centre you can go inside the cafe... this also has a nice green outdoor area with family benches if you would like to enjoy some nice weather in summer. The food is really nice! They have loads of variety of food and drink. Very suitable for children, with a children menu to. There is some tv screens that usually has something playing if there is an event e.g Wimbledon. They are really nice and will put on a childs programme if you come in with young children. They have a book table with a variety of books for adults and children to read.”
