Wine selection in Kingston Upon Thames

“Charlotte hosted an outstanding wine tasting for my father in law’s 70th birthday. She was knowledgeable, friendly and curated a superb selection of wines from his favourite region. A fantastic evening and I can’t wait to pop by and pick up some of the superb wines that we enjoyed.”

“Had a fantastic meal here. The staff were warm and attentive without being pushy, and the food was absolutely delicious. Portion sizes were generous and everything came out quickly and fresh, chef Ahmed is very attentive and truly talented. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Wow! An absolutely perfect neighbourhood Italian. Delicious, creative food with wonderful in-season ingredients, friendly staff and really good value for money. Wouldn’t change a thing. Already looking forward to my next visit”

“Excellent wine merchant!! Got 6 bottles of Bernard Roberts Champagne at a great price. Delivered superquick and very securely packaged. Highly recommended - Cheers !!”

“Arrived unannounced with 7 people and a dog, and they catered with no questions. GM came over to meet the pooch. Maria was super attentive and our fresh, oven-baked pizzas were out in 7 minutes. A brilliant overall experience for a saturday lunch! Will be back.”

“Couldn't have asked for better service, food and accommodation for the weekend of my sister's wedding. Eanna and Lara were attentive and very professional. The venue was immaculate and everyone had a wonderful time. 10/10 would recommend the queen's head for wedding receptions!”

“Excellent customer service. A beautiful choice of wine and tasty beer.”

“We visited here on a Saturday around 3pm for a celebration dinner. We booked in advance for inside seating. There is outside seating which is perfect on a sunny date as right next to the river. The staff were very welcoming and helpful with their recommendations for food and drinks. We all opted for three courses, they do have weekend set Menus which is worth a look. All the meals arrived in perfect timing, they gave enough time between each meal so it wasn’t rushed. Everything was cooked beautifully and a really enjoyable meal. We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Thank you to the staff for being gracious tonight when one of our party unexpectedly experienced a medical issue. We are very grateful for local places who care about local people. Food was top notch and the service was great. Thanks!”

“Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed the drinks. Didn't try the food though but lots of dif areas and spacs to drink”

“Quick, convenient, and well stocked, especially within a petrol station! Quality hasn't been compromised whatsoever, just your, above average, Waitrose you are already used to, but just a mini-me!”

“Came in for lunch,which was really good and great price. Then found there was a shufl board and had fun playing. Half an hour for £8. Joey was really helpful and friendly. And was really good with all his customers.”

“Great little shop, very convenient has lots of food and drinks and a post office. It's open late and they do post office transactions, parcels, post, etc u til later so very handy.”

“Perfect they got everything needed best in town”

“When I got my order I threw out all the other Chinese Menu's I hold. The food was great and the operator listened to my requirements stating my son had a fish allergy. The food came is this very sweet and cute box. I love this place. I will order future Chinese from this company. Thank you”

“Great place lively and friendly and well run by Josie and Andy. We attended a 50th birthday party it was fantastic.”

“We went there to see "as December falls". I will be honest, I'm in my late 40's and went mainly to support my youngest (20). I can honestly say I really enjoyed myself, it had the vibe of a rock/metal gig venue from 25-30 years ago, everyone looking out for each other, but with a modern twist, a new generation following the old school values of doing their best to just love the music and doing all the can to help others enjoy it too. The other thing that struck me is the price of drinks, here in Surrey we are sadly used to being hammered by drink prices, and I fully expected the drinks to be on the he pricey side, especially as we were a captive audience, that had choice but pay the prices they charged. The date was the 15/08/2025 and 2 single vodkas with cranberry came to £11 (something). I have paid a lot more in places I have enjoy far less in the area. Finally, without going into detail, we had some additional needs, we needed a chair for the gig part, and honestly it was no trouble, we told one person at the bar, I didn't catch his name, but but the time we got into the gig part, all the staff knew, and were descreetly on hand if needed Thanks to all the staff at the fighting cocks, those at banquet records who ran the music part, and to As December Falls for a brilliant albeit hot and sticky night”

“Good food！the drink and desert is so beautiful and attentive. The food is also very delicious, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very good. The staff inside is super enthusiastic and friendly, and the recommended dishes and wine are so impressive. I really like it!”

“The Norbiton in (funnily enough) Norbiton, east of Kingston. A lovely, shabby chic, corner pub with high ceilings and a very open family feel to it. A large dining area and a huge patio garden at the back of the house. Lovely staff with a good sense of humour. They are fast, efficient and friendly. A super, different place to visit, enjoy a drink and some simple pizza oriented dining. A most enjoyable visit, highly recommended.”

“Fantastic Sunday roast, always our 1st choice of pub in Kingston when heading out as a family. Staff are really friendly and it has been beautifully decorated for Christmas. The Spring Grove has never disappointed us, top pub!”

“We popped in during the week around lunch time. Great pub, chilled vibes - they were playing vinyl LPs, great garden and opposite the park. Great beer selection and decent hot dog. Half price between 12 and 3pm, bonus!”

“Great little shop with all the grocery essentials you might need. Very friendly staff too!”

“We originally booked for one night but we were so impressed with the hotel we changed our plans and stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were furnished to an exceptionally high standard, the bed felt luxurious, the shower powerful and the staff were brilliant. The breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect for walking the Thames path or just visiting nearby sites. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in.”

“We ate outside and watched the busy world go by. Very attentive service, nice appetizers and delicious pizzas. We thoroughly enjoyed our late afternoon meal there.”

“Very nice pub. Good drinks. Great Greek food. Authentic gyros! Good bands play there too.”

“Like walking back into the 1970s. But in a good way. Had a couple of pints here with mates last night. The beer selection was a bit bizarre, with lots of porters and stout, but I was quite happy with a pale from Exeter Brewery. The team are super friendly and having left a bag behind, I was amazed when someone not only picked up the phone at 1045, but said they'd found it. The decor is like something from Minder in the early 80s. Terrible lighting in parts but there are areas that are more dimly illuminated. Probably a good thing! There's also a pool table and a couple of darts boards which is awesome. The audio system also sounds like it's on its last legs but I'm sure it's had a good innings! Anyway, who needs music. They had Morris dancers performing in the garden to last night. Definitely pay this place a visit!”

“A pub with an old-world atmosphere of England. Tasty giant portions, great selection of beers. The whole of Kingston is worth a visit. District in London with the atmosphere of a summer holiday. :-)”

“I had a truly wonderful experience this past Sunday! The tomato salad was absolutely exquisite, a real standout dish. Beyond the delicious food, the atmosphere was incredible. There was a palpable buzz and energy that made the whole visit so enjoyable. It's clear that Albert is back on top – everything was perfectly executed!”

“Great store with a large variety of food Staff always pleasant I bought some halibut steaks from the fish counter on Saturday and Paolo was superb he advice me on how to cook the fish and the sauce to go with it . Top !!”
