1665 Riverside Brasserie in Richmond upon Thames

Food was great , service was perfect as always.

Had a lovely afternoon tea. Special occasion. Proposed to my partner and staff gave us amazing table overlooking the river and excellent service.

My absolute favourite!! Especially in the summer. Although I have only been three times, I know I will return whenever I have friends visiting- the whispering angel terrace is so cute, the food is delicious, and the waterside seating is so relaxing and very nice in the summer. They do have blankets and heaters in the outdoor seated areas. My personal favourite is the cauliflower popcorn - I think about it all the time. SO delicious!!

Afternoon cream tea for family birthday (101). The tea was home made and good quality. The service was great and went out of the way to make the occasion enjoyable.

We have visited The Mitre on numerous occasions for various meals. Evening dinner, themed dinner, Sunday Roast and drinks. Every time we received very professional and very friendly service from all the staff that were looking after us. The food on every occasion was very delicious. Our last visit was a Sunday Roast. I am a steak tartare lover and had a few of them up to date and the one at The Mitre was one of the best I have had. The roast beef was very good and tender, the seasonal vegetables completed the lovely dinner. Dan, the restaurant manager was one of the staff that looked after our table. Dan made us very comfortable and was very attentive. His knowledge of wines was very good and he explained his suggestions with a real passion. We will come back to The Mitre as the food and hospitality of the place never disappoints, the views and location are fantastic.

The venison rags was not great. It was more like a (rather average) soup with the pappardelle. It didn't really taste like venison either

We really enjoyed our Christmas at The Mitre. We were particularly impressed by the lovely and professional staff who took so much trouble to make us feel welcome and special. There was a lovely festive atmosphere in the dinning room and the beautiful room, lovely decor and lay-out made a cosy , comfortable and memorable atmosphere. Thank you!

We booked the fixed price NYE dinner and it was an all-around great experience. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and we had a great table overlooking the Thames (even though it was dark there was still a bit of a view). Staff was attentive and helpful and very friendly. We received a lovely greeting when we first came in. The meal was large - 4 courses - and I loved that you could choose everything prior to the event. The duck was very good. I do wish there had been a beef selection. The chocolate tart was absolutely perfect! Sadly we didn't stay for the entertainment as we were very tired but the set-up was great. Loved that we booked a room at The Mitre which made it so convenient. Thank you for a lovely stay.

A lovely lunch. Good service. The food was good but not excellent.. The burger bread was dry and it was a very expensive burger for what it actually was.

Exceptional service, the staff are friendly and cannot do enough for you. The food is of outstanding quality. A must try is the popcorn cauliflower, which our table could eat a bucket of. The restaurant is also excellent value for money. I could not recommend it enough.

The location and surroundings were fabulous and the service very good. Jessica the events manager was an absolute star. She worked really hard to accommodate us and fulfil our wishes. On to the food… The starters and sweets were excellent. Unfortunately the main event was a disappointment. Apart from some mains coming without roasts potatoes, due to an oversight. (This was corrected but shouldn’t have happen). The real problem was the turkey dinners and nut roast dinner were all served cold. We were not the only people to experience this. We did not complain at the time as we didn’t feel we wanted to add to the others complaints and spoil the ambiance. What I can’t understand is how in this day and age we cannot get a meal to the table hot? My only other feedback (and this is a just personal preference.) Is that there was another choice of meat available. Although traditional turkey is generally not most people favourite roast. Even at Christmas. As the orders are submitted weeks in advance I don't see why there couldn’t be a little more choice? I would recommend the restaurant for the staff and atmosphere alone. I also intend to give the restaurant a go, try a la cart menu on a normal week day / weekend. However, I would be reluctant to book Christmas Day again as although a nice experience, having a roast served cold is not acceptable.

Lovely afternoon tea! Service slow to start but they were very busy! I single out Dan who was very professional and made us feel very welcome. Somewhat noisy initially as there were a lot of young children.

This Christmas Eve was part of a two night Christmas package. Despite being busy, the service was impeccable: fast, very friendly and meals exactly as ordered. The restaurant has bought in a bottle of Southern Comfort especially which I did my best to make use of. The food was good although the main course (in my case Chicken Milanese was a little bland.

Lovely evening meal with great service from friendly attentive staff.

As local residents new to the area, we I thought it would be fun to visit Hampton Court Palace with friends visiting from Canada and then have afternoon tea afterwards at The Mitre to warm up. We were all really looking forward to it and as it is one of the small luxury hotels of the world, we were sure the afternoon tea would be special. Unfortunately we were wrong. Whilst the food itself was fine, the whole experience was anything but special. Upon arrival we were greeted by a lady in jeans who continually referred to us as 'you guys'! We had to ask if we could put our coats somewhere other than on the backs of our chairs. Despite the restaurant not being full, we waited a significant time for our hot drinks to arrive. We were never once offered refills and in fact, had to try our best to attract someone's eye when we did require service, despite there being plenty of waiting staff around. How could the experience have been superb? Easy! The staff should be properly trained on how to address customers ('you guys' is not appropriate in a formal setting!); check that the customers have everything they need or if they would like anything else (which never happened). We couldnt even easily attract someone's attention to get or pay the bill. It's all such easy stuff! One more thing - the tea should be loose leaf. It makes such a difference. It's a shame, this could be our local 'go to' place, but at the moment, I don't see it.

Love love love being here. Every Boxing Day to celebrate my birthday. Kya who attended our table was brilliant. Thank you so much!

Overall, it was an excellent experience. Great food and service in a lovely setting. All of the waitresses and Alex looked after us very well

We had a lovely afternoon thank you for making our Christmas so lovely.

Very disappointed with the standard of food cooked on Christmas Day. The roast was mediocre for the price of £150. Tragically, there was no stuffing. Why?? Mince pies were not even warmed up to make the pastry crisp; merely taken out of shop bought packaging…. Staff were delightful though! The money taken off our tip merely reflected the inferior food standard, not the service. I’m sorry we wouldn’t return or recommend friends to eat at The Mitre. Sara Howell. 25.12.24

Having previously eaten at the Brasserie and enjoyed food and atmosphere I was keen to book for Christmas Eve. The atmosphere and service was as good as ever. The food however was a pretty big disappointment being bland, in the case of my chicken Milanese with little flavour and quite dry despite the salsa verde. The cabbage side dish arrived late (we weren’t charged for it) and had an unpleasant texture and taste. The only redeeming plate was the popcorn cauliflower which was as tasty as ever. Will think twice before rebooking and will certainly wait till the menu changes before returning.

Wonderful afternoon tea for my mother’s 80th. Great food and drinks and impeccable service. The staff even brought a chocolate brownie to our table with a candle to say happy birthday. Would definitely recommend and also return.

We had a fantastic night on Saturday. The food was excellent as always and the staff are exceptional!

Brilliant dinner experience! Stylish interior, combined with the beautiful riverside view creates a sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. Every single team member that we interacted with were super friendly and helpful, from the host to the waitress! Food was also excellent, with the Mushroom Arancini being one of the highlights. Great options overall as we were tempted by many menu items. I highly recommend the 1665 Brasserie for anyone looking for a memorable experience!

An outstanding experience and great value. Staff were extremely friendly and very professional. Excellent surroundings and great food too. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic. We return time and time again and it's just perfect. Quality service, tasty food & superbly decorated at Christmas. The service this year was second to none. Total gem so close to home.

First class service in a way that’s subtle yet so very indulgent and an utter treat. I’ve been going since it opened and have yet to experience anything less than brilliant. On one occasion the kitchen was overwhelmed and we had to wait too long.. in return they halved the bill. We’re all human and this restaurant is personal and does its best to make you feel welcome and special. Not perfect but close enough. Recommended. B

Great food and drinks in a really cool, historic hotel. Perfect spot for Hampton Court and Bushy Park, and easy access into central London too

Brilliant service and great food.

Genuinely one of the best local experiences, food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, staff are amazing

Lovely family meal. Sirloin steak was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the Popcorn Cauliflower. Service excellent.

Great experience with top notch service

Absolutely amazing. Food and service was great. Big shout for Dan. He is really an asset to the company

We went for Afternoon tea at the Mitre as a work do/catch up of two little local business owners. It was a treat and we had a lovely time but do have a touch of feedback. For £55 I would expect a really great afternoon tea, and whilst the selection of teas (including some delicious festive options) and the sandwiches were great, the scones were Ok and the cakes/pastries were not so good. Too sweet, slightly synthetic or just not particularly tasty which was a sad way to end the experience. We were also sat with a view of the river, which would have been fine if it weren't so cold. Service was good and we had lots of tea refills, as well as a glass of bubbly so the experience was nice - just felt a little over priced given the quality of the desserts.

The afternoon tea booked ended very disappointingly. When choosing the tea, was told we couldn't try different teas, could only choose one type each but could get as many refills as we want. Fair enough. First, food was excellent. Asked for replenishment and was told only one serving, no more. Okay.. bit of a let down. When we asked for another pot each of tea, we poured out basically hot water and just thought it hadn't steeped. Waited over 7 minutes and it was still clear. Asked the server if perhaps we received a different (paler) tea by mistake? No, she assured us, same tea because they were using the same tea bag! What sort of 4 star business reuses tea bags for a fresh pot of tea when we're told we can get more than one pot? That's just cheap. Put us right off ever booking afternoon tea on holiday again. Not to mention, the price from when we booked had increased and they didn't notify us or even mention in reminders of our reservation or when we arrived.

A delightful festive evening with friends! The food was delicious, plus we had some fantastic wine and cocktails too!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely overlooking the Thames. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Our food came promptly and was absolutely delicious.

Snow, our waitress was very helpful and checked in on us regularly. We had a lovely festive lunch at the brasserie, over looking the river. The restaurant was decorated very tastefully for Christmas. They had plenty of gluten free and vegan options for my partner. I can highly recommend the calamari, It was fantastic! They also have koffman fries which are the best fries, so definitely get a side of them. We will definitely be back again.

Lovely experience all round! Food excellent, service really good with a great atmosphere. Really enjoyed it!

Superb service and delicious food all in a wonderful river view setting.

Loved our afternoon tea treat. We had a table with a perfect view, the service was spot on even though they were very busy and the food was sublime. We will certainly return and I would highly recommend 🙂

Great service, food and wine. A lovely Sunday Birthday Lunch. Many thanks

Food was very ordinary bland and fish was clearly not even close to fresh.

Food, my Venison Ragu was excellent. My wife’s fish was good. In both cases a shortage of healthy vegetables was disappointing and was not even offered as a separate side order. Service / outstanding! Atmosphere- was very enjoyable until halfway through the meal a really loud woman spoiled it for many diners.

Hi there, I usually love your restaurant but it was so cold while we were eating, there was a chill by the window. The prawns were also quite hard

I wanted to thank Skippy, James and Morgan for helping make my son’s proposal to his girlfriend (now fiancé!) so magical! The food tasted amazing and we had a great afternoon celebrating the occasion.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the 1665 Brasserie for their Sunday roast, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing family meal. The roast itself was exceptional. The meat was tender and flavourful, cooked to perfection, and served with all the classic accompaniments. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. To top it all off, the dessert selection was tempting, and I couldn't resist indulging in the Whiskey Crème Brûlée, which was a wonderful way to conclude the meal. Overall, I highly recommend 1665 Brasserie for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic Sunday roast. I’m looking forward to returning soon! ⸻

Love this place! The setting and atmosphere is wonderful and the service is excellent. The waiter was so attentive and lovely. The food is really good but it is the setting and service that makes it a winner. Definitely be back again.

I had dinner here the night before a running race. One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in years. Lovely decor, lighting, atmosphere and kind, attentive staff. Was packed when I was here and deserves to do well

Food very good Service excellent A very enjoyable experience

We took a friend for Sunday lunch as a special occasion. We had a 3pm booking, and although the starters and one of the mains (chicken roast) were delicious, two of the mains (beef roasts) were dry and seemed like they had been kept warm (the meat and the vegetables). One of those was returned and the replacement dish was very fresh and not dry, so the previous serving was definitely sub-standard and shouldn't have been served. The other beef roast was also dry but our friend didn't want to create a fuss, so kept it. He wasn't asked by the waitress if his was ok and needed replacing. In hindsight we should have insisted his was replaced as well. It was very disappointing and neither of these beef dishes should have left the kitchen, given they were so dry and the one that was replaced wasn't. It was such a shame that these dishes were served to us. A 3pm booking is later than a normal lunch time but the food being served at 3pm should be as fresh as the food being served at the start of the lunch sitting.

Delicious food and wonderful service. It was a shame that there were very few people in the restaurant but it was Friday lunch time. Special thanks for the lovely mini birthday cake that was presented to me - it was much appreciated and absolutely delicious. Will come back again soon

We had a fantastic afternoon the staff were great we all had requests for the sandwiches but nothing was too much trouble. I had asked for a table over looking the river and that was provided. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Lovely Sunday lunch. Attentive staff and an all round great experience!

We discussed this on the way home and it really was a 5* experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the decor and atmosphere were fabulous and the staff were so attentive, friendly and efficient! We had a brilliant time!

It was lovely and the staff were very warm and accommodating.

Lovely setting overlooking The Thames, very friendly and helpful staff and food was excellently presented and tasted exquisite.

Had a lovely dinner for my mums birthday at the mitre. They really took care of us and made the day feel very special. Would highly recommend the cauliflower popcorn starter and cote de boeuf main !!x

Lovely setting for a special family dinner. Staff very attentive and engaging.

Just a lovely place to visit - warm welcome and service from Morgan who is very attentive and super friendly. The food was delicious and the cocktails were GREAT! Loved the Gingerbread Daiquiri and you can’t beat the views! Will definitely be returning! 🤩

By far my favourite place - even chose to marry here Will always visit

Great experience for a 40th birthday, very attentive staff and nice atmosphere

My wife and I had such a spoiling and enjoyable nights stay at The Mitre. The food was delicious, staff could not have been more helpful and our beautiful bedroom suite was luxurious and very large. The location is stunning being right next to the river and opposite Hampton Court Palace. The views are remarkable. We highly recommend visiting The Mitre, you will not be disappointed.

Great place to stay Had a great time, perfect location

Highly recommended! Lovely afternoon tea, very friendly service and lovely view of the river.

This is a really lovely restaurant. The decor and furnishings are great; very comfortable. The food comes in generous portions for the money and there are some nice options. Our starters were really good. We had pork croquettes and popcorn cauliflower. However, our main courses were a little disappointing. I had the haddock linguine which was over-seasoned and was hard to finish as it was too salty. It did have lots of haddock in it though. We had a rhubarb and ginger sour cocktail as a digestif though which was lovely. I would definitely visit again but try something different from the menu as my main course. It feels like fine dining and has lovely views over the river. I may have just gotten unlucky with my main course.

What a perfect location to enjoy superb food

I have dined at the mitre a handful of times and each time has been an amazing experience. The food is always delicious, the service is fast but by no means rushed and the atmosphere is always relaxed but classy!

Lovely night, with delicious food! Very friendly service!!!

Visited for Sunday lunch as walk-ins. Staff were very helpful to fit us in. Menu had a good range. I had the prawn cocktail and Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding. Excellent quality. Well cooked. Their Six Wives beer was a great accompaniment. One small gripe - quite a gap between courses; would have been nice for someone to reassure us that our order hadn’t been lost.

I booked a table for 11 to celebrate my baby shower and it was such a lovely day! From the emails back and forth organising the menu and special mocktails to the delicious food and amazing service we received on the day - thank you so much! Highly recommend for special events! India

Lovely venue with excellent service. The food was delicious. I would love to come back.

We had such a wonderful time at the 1665 Brasserie on Sunday evening. We received a very warm welcome from the Brasserie Team. The meal was superb, the ambience was perfect and we will certainly return. Thank you for a perfect evening.

Food was brilliant. Cocktails delicious. For at atmosphere, I the music was very quiet and the room got quite stuffy, would have been great for better background music and if a window was opened even slightly

Thank you to everyone for a lovely birthday celebration meal. We will definitely return as the food and service were excellent.

Lovely family lunch for my birthday super place been before

Fantastic food in a wonderful atmosphere with staff who were only to happy to help. We can't wait to come back.

We went to the restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we could not have chose better. From the reservation, to my request to have flowers on table prior arrival etc.. all went seamless. On the day the staff was amazing, the manager (sorry forgot your name) and Snow our waitress (hope I didn’t spell it wrong). Both were great and attentive. They definitely make our special day memorable The food tasty and well presented, recommend the beef tartare!!! Will definitely come back for a family meal.

We enjoyed a lovely celebratory meal at 1665 . . The food was amazing as was the location and service. Top marks to the welcoming and waiting staff

Lovely setting by the River Thames but could do with a little more lighting as menu was difficult to read.

Lovely lunch at mitre! Beautiful view, staff were absolutely amazing! Back soon forsure !!

The climb was worth the views and the food was first class.

The food and wine selection was amazing! I was very impressed with the service. Carly always made sure our wine was topped up and we were very happy! Also it was my friends birthday and they made it super special for her! So thank you everyone! I’ll definitely be back!

Very good No problem with vegetarian or gluten free Prepared to be flexible and nice with it Def recommend to others

Efficient service, great food, exceptional fig soufflé!

Very charming, polite and efficient waitress gave excellent service and advice. Lovely setting along the Thames river. One of my guests said it was one of the best starters he'd had for years.

I am so happy to have chosen this restaurant to celebrate my 40th birthday with my family! We were all looked after with such warmth by the staff! Thank you we will most definitely return for more delicious food!

Brilliant food. Great service. Menu choices are quite limited. The Hummus and the Prawn cocktail were really good, the Sirloin steak was also excellent and the Chicken milanese was pretty good as well. The lady serving us was very kind but unfortunately I didn't catch her name. Will return.

We had a very enjoyable dinner with great service from the staff.

I hosted my birthday here with my friends and we had a really great time. The Whispering Angel Terrance was really lovely, all the staff were super friendly, helpful and patient with us. I would definitely recommend the place and come back!

Great food but over priced - you pay for the setting

Need to update website to clarify booking. I booked online thinking I was booking the Whispering Angel Terrace only to be told when I arrived that it was closed for a wedding party. It was not clear throughout the booking process. Had it been evident with a message highlighting the date was unavailable , I would not have booked dinner for that evening. When I queried it at reception the assistant was very matter of fact. The error was down to me.

My friend and I stayed at The Mitre Hotel which is steeped in history, to visit Hampton Court Palace. Everything about the hotel was faultless and we would highly recommend. The meal at the Whispering Angel Terrace was delicious and made extra special by our 2 lovely staff members Liv and Katinka. Special thanks to them for looking after us and making our evening so special. Thanks also to the chef for serving tasty dishes.

We visited the whispering angel brasserie which is the outer setting of the 1665 for my birthday as a surprise from my wife. The setting is amazing and the staff were really attentive. We not gave it a 3* rather than higher as the prices for what you’re served is a bit steep. Also wanted to remark so hopefully the management can read this , who looked like the maitre D took our order (young chap in smart clothing) I ordered the dry aged sirloin medium. He replied “my advice sir is because it’s been dry aged you should go for it medium to rare as it’s dry aged otherwise it’ll be tough “ firstly this is a bug bare of mine. I hate it when waiters tell you how to have your food. I made no fuss and agreed as I don’t mind rare meat. Well after it was served I now realise why he advised this. It was more because he knew their cuts were tough. Couldn’t actually cut it at all with the standard knife so had to ask for a steak knife which wasn’t sharp. Wife’s crab linguine was far too small a portion for £26 also. Apart from that I had a nice day but they need a new meat supplier as dry aging tenderised the meat not make it tough. Had steak for decades never heard this line. It’s a new one to me lol.

Lovely place, we will return, I was a bit harsh on the food as I asked for my Lamb to be well done, cooked all the way through, my wife ate my Lamb as it was not cooked enough... I did say and emphasised the point !.

There were 8 fingers of sandwich- as one of the party had a fish allergy the egg mayonnaise was repeated the contents were boring. The scones were lovely but the other cakes were all jelly like texture and all very much the same. The 1/2 glass of champagne wasn’t very cold. We had a lovely view of boat pick up and drop off, the overall atmosphere was good. Very expensive with regards to food content.

I am sorry but the quality of the food has gone downhill and the prices for some of the dishes are ridiculous

Beautiful setting right on the river bank. The staff really looked after us and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The food was sublime and there is great wine list. We will be back especially for the cabbage.

Amazing meal! A lovely team and a delicious meal with a beautiful view!

Came for lunch, party of 6. Service was very slow. They had 6 servers and only 3 tables but took 15 minutes to put in the order and another 20 minutes to get the food Food was good but smaller portions.. Place is by the water which was nice

Lovely friendly staff and a great setting but really ordinary food. Simply not worth the price.
