Abercorn Arms in Richmond upon Thames

Good choice of craft beer and real ale. Nice menu, and a big outside area hosting occasional festivals. Unfortunately they have no pool or darts, but a nice place to go with a few friends. They have a bit of an annoying habit of booking out all the tables in the bar, so perhaps book ahead if you need a seat.

Fantastic pub. Lovely staff, great food. Nice place to watch the football or rugby. Great selection of beers.

Loveliest venue, wonderful staff, best nachos in ALL London!!

Great range of beers. Had a Deya pale ale which was great after a long day work. Back here today. Nice wine see photo and also live Irish music which was brilliant!

Had an excellent New Years Day roast with friendly front of house service from Mary-Ann. Plenty of smiles, great service and lovely food. The pub was busy and had a great atmosphere, always a good sign and well deserved based on our experience. Dog friendly too! Thanks again and well done to Mary-Ann and Cooper.

Three massive screens showing the darts at 5.00pm in the afternoon with no one watching. Loud techno music. Stale beer. Mulled wine was undrinkable.

Great pub, staff, food, and Christmas atmosphere excellent. Have been back a few times, never disappoints.

We booked a table for 13 for our Christmas 'Do', here are some thoughts from those who attended; ' 'I thought the food was good; the chocolate tart was very tasty, not sure you need a Yorkshire puddings with roast turkey', The food in the Abercorn Arms was perfect – the portion of roast pumpkin was too large and although I was perturbed by the Yorkshire pudding being served with turkey, I managed to eat most of it! I thought the dessert portion was small (cheese platter) and it worked out to be the perfect size as I still had room to continue drinking' 'It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere where we could chat animatedly and they called our names when serving the dishes which helped us to not have to remember what we’d ordered – even after you’d considerately emailed us with our meal choice!' 'It was a very good venue that I would visit again – requesting not to sit next to the sticky front door in winter' 'The vegan wellington main was delicious and so rare that something like that can be made gluten free. Really enjoyed all three courses, so thank you' 'The winter mess was tasty but lacking berries' 'Staff were friendly & attentive, but not so they were overly so, the booking process, selecting menu options and paying a deposit was made easy' Thank you The Abercorn Arms

Fantastic Sunday roast - both the vegan roast and the beef roast - well cooked, good selection of veg, friendly staff and an excellent wine list. Perfect Sunday afternoon.

First visit to this lovely pub, with great food and friendly staff... Will definitely be back!

Just there for a few drinks with my wife and friends. The pub was busy, the service was good and a great atmosphere. Beer quality was excellent

Thank you for hosting my friends 60th do ! Lovely friendly and welcoming staff , food was lovely too ! We all enjoyed the atmosphere and service certainly will be back again !

I came in with a group of four at 9.20pm, when the website says last food orders was 10pm. It took us a while to be served and when we were finally seen, the waitress told us we were too late and the kitchen shut at 9.30pm. We let them know we arrived 10 minutes earlier, as we're locals and know the kitchen times, but were told definitively it was closed and no more food could be ordered. Very frustrating. If your kitchen closes at a particular time, you should serve food until that time.

Staff are good, one out of two Sunday roasts was missed, staff recovered the situation well. Credit to staff. Very good beef roast dinner!!

I went there for a quiet drink with a couple of friends but we had to endure Rugby World Cup blaring through a speaker above us. Perhaps a corner for Rugby fans would allow non Rugby fans to have some space to ourselves.

We've been here a few times since moving to the area and can't fault it. Service is always super friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, but with a good mix of people and the food/drink is always on point. Went to watch the Rugby World Cup Final here last weekend and absolutely loved it.

I hosted my 50th birthday party here last Saturday and we had a fabulous time! The food was fantastic - a big thank you to the chef who did a great job. All my friends commented on how lovely the pub was and that it had a great atmosphere. Thanks to Adam and his team for making it a great night for everyone. They were very accommodating - the the surprise sparkler on the cake was a lovely touch. Catherine

Nice to visit a local pub with a real pub atmosphere. Not pretending to be something else. We visited for a girls' catch-up over lunch. We were not expecting table service, so that was an added surprise.

Lovely food and amazing service, Sunday roast is delicious

Good pub, nice garden and service was decent

Wish I could give less than 1. Party was held here for family member's 50th. Barman was encouraging his friends to eat from the prepaid buffet, we had to bat them off like flies. Barmen arrogant when confronted. Questionable service. Absolutely disgusting

Cool pub with an amazing atmosphere. Lot of options for drinks.

Was immediately greeted by an excitable Aussie/New Zealand bar maid who was super friendly and attentive. Didn’t have food but the menu did look good. Great selection of beers and a decent sized garden too

Very friendly pub off the beaten track behind the high street. Decent selection of beers with a decent sized garden too. Shoutout to the Aussie/New Zealand bar maid who was very friendly and attentive

Please wipe the glasses before you serve them. No one likes dishwashing liquid on the glass. Just a simple wipe - please! Little things make it better

After having the best Sunday roast at the Abercorn we decided to host our wedding reception there! We have been absolutely blown away with the service and dedication that the whole team put it to make our day so special (Adam the manager) in particular deserves a huge shout out! The food was fantastic (hog roast, canapés and pizzas) all of our guests commented on how great the venue and the party was! We would do it all over again in a heartbeat if you are considering any time of event or just food and drinks we would 100% recommend the Abercorn thank you for the best day!

My first experience at the Abercon Arms and I came specifically to try the roast as the pictures in the reviews looked promising. Ultimately, I will return to try the meal again as it showed promise, however, there's plenty of room for improvement from my visit which I feel could have been a few one-off disappointments. The venue seems homely enough, drink options are decent being a Big Smoke pub and staff behind the bar were largely friendly and well meaning. We asked for a table we could watch the football on but that seemed to mean we received no table service, more on that later. The good: the portion sizes were very generous and the "trio of roasts" option is really good value for money as it's big plate and you get to sample 3 of the 4 meats on offer. The pork belly was the best thing on the plate, the chicken was very good, however, the beef was served well done, which was disappointing and not like the pictures in the reviews - the gent who took our order didn't ask how we wanted it cooked nor did we remember to tell them so the blame is shared and likely to do with it being a 3 meat dish. The gravy was excellent, flavourful, might be a little thin for some but did wonders to improve the more bland items on the plate. The bad: given how well the meat was cooked, the veg was overall underwhelming. Veg is what it is with most roast dinners. I was enticed by the cabbage and tenderstem broccoli offering in the photos. We received plain boiled cabbage and al dente broccoli florets. Root vegetables were passable, carrots were fine, but as far as the most sought after veg on a plate of roast the potatoes were a bit of a let down. We were given a good portion of potatoes as we didn't want cauliflower cheese (since when has that started to appear as an accompaniment to British roast dinner) but the potatoes weren't crispy or seasoned but some may prefer them this way. The ugly: the Yorkshire pudding. There is no excuse for what I was served. Inedible, cardboard-like and left on the plate. The dog next to me wouldn't have eaten it. I'd have asked for another but the service was non-existent. That could be down to where we asked to be sat, a corner table that didn't seem to be in the main dining area. Upon walking in at 4pm, we had to find our own reserved table, then seek out staff for menu and to order a drink, then again to order the meal after a 25 min wait (at least we didn't have to go to that kitchen to get our food). During our meals we went to the bar twice to get further rounds, then sat for 20 minutes with empty plates in front of us. The young staff seemed friendly and willing to help when asked but with all of them rotating around serving and waiting, it seems completely disorganised and in need of improvement OR just don't sit by the TVs. I'm hopeful my next visit will be better.

Fantastic venue great staff ...

We went last Thursday for Steak night. We had the fillet steak and it was delicious perfectly cooked and very tender. The chips hot and crispy an excellent meal and very good value. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

A fantastic pub of the main drag, great beer, excellent food! And the staff are pretty good too! 👍🍺🍔🍕🍗

Beer festival I mean what's not to love. Last weekend was very fun and this is a brilliant pub with a spacious beer garden packed with great live music. Decent atmosphere and friendly staff it's a pub that should not be passed by. Definitely recommend it.

Went here after dinner locally. Good bar, nice garden, but it shuts around 10.30. Really friendly staff. Great gin choices

Came here for the beer festival which was great. Amazing selection of beers, good food, good live music. Quite a small place - we were lucky to get a seat!

Awesome pub. Great garden. Food and service were really good.

Nice place for a lunch in the garden friendly staff

As a large group of us, we don't often use the Abecorn Arms, but we decided on a change and booked a table in the beautiful garden, near to the outdoor TV to watch the FA Cup final. Staff were really good to us, great banter and a really good day. Nice cold beers, great service and food - we'll definitely be back soon ! Thanks again team !!

It is hard for a family group of 10 to be accommodated especially given ages of offspring at 1, 3, 5, 9. The Abercorn Arms was perfect. Great, on the ball service, plentiful portions of food....and relaxed ambience. For the older in the group the fantastic range of ales from Big Smoke. The giant Yorkshire pudding Sunday lunch was great for two greedy people. The children's menu plentiful and more a mini adults menu. Service was well paced attentive but not intrusive. A place to return to and supporting a local brewery business also.

Varying real cider served. Discount for CAMRA members. Can get crowded. Plays muzac, even in the garden.

Fantastic friendly staff, delicious and prompt food. One of the best roasts I have had in London. Perfect gravy consistency, moist meat and expertly cooked veggies. Very impressed.

Best roast I’ve had in a really long time, the lamb was super tender and the cabbage was on point👌 the pub is also dog friendly and the staff are absolutely lovely and very helpful! Worth a visit!

Great food. Staff were really accommodating, friendly and couldn’t have done more for us. Would highly recommend a visit.

Awesome staff, great selection of beers and food. Thursday has a nice deal on 🥩 steaks

Great selection of real ales, keg and cask. Knowledgeable staff. Lovely food. Good size beer garden. Well worth a long visit.

We’ve eaten here before and the food was pretty good. However, it was so disappointing yesterday. The fish and chips was just not great - the fish was over cooked and tough, the chips were luke warm. The roast lamb was reheated and tasteless. Such a shame. Definitely won’t be eating here again. On the plus side, the beer was great and the staff were lovely. Shame about the food.

Nice little pub with its own ales and beers. I only popped in for a pint.

Great pub , great beer , great staff. Always worth a visit.

Such a letdown! We had been here a couple of times previously since the place has been renovated and under new management. Our previous experiences had been excellent - not this time. The food and drinks took ages and the meal was stone cold when it arrived. I sent mine back (my husband ate his cold as he was too hungry to wait any longer). When my meal was returned it was only lukewarm and I had to ask for some gravy (as it was Sunday Lunch you’d assume they’d put gravy on the roast lamb - not so.) It also arrived cold. The staff seemed different this time and I couldn’t work out if they were untrained or just didn’t care. They couldn’t have appeared more disinterested or disorganised if they’d tried. Previously the people who appeared to be running the show were attentive, helpful and on the ball. None of them were in attendance this time. I really thought that as locals we had finally found our favourite Sunday Lunch place but I doubt we’ll be back after this experience.

Great beer . Great food . Great staff very knowledgeable about beer . Go Sunday evening be entertained by Joe the quizmaster . One of the best pubs in Teddington

It's a while since I had been to the Abercorn but I thought that everything looked good and I enjoyed the evening.

Such a friendly pub, relaxed and great selection of beers. Good food too, nice selection on a Sunday so you're not just limited to roasts (Roasts are very tasty tho)

My first visit was enjoyable with nice food although the service was a bit unpredictable but my second visit was not so good. The staff were unhelpful and not able to answer questions about the menu. I had steak which was not as good as last time and 1 of my friends left most of her steak as it was quite tough. It was busier this visit but it felt like ok pub grub rather than a restaurant experience so not good value for money as it is pricey here.

Went after my dads memorial service. Staff were super friendly and the food was delicious. They were child friendly my nephews were loving running around. They had a section off to one side for us which was nice. We partially enjoyed the chicken starter and the burgers. Unfortunately I didn’t take photos on this occasion but I will definitely be returning.

This was my first visit to this pub. A fairly short walk of around 5 minutes from Teddington High Street. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. They have a good range of real ales, I find Big Smoke pubs look after the ale properly and fairly is priced. I had a roast lamb dinner which was tasty and enjoyable served with good tasting gravy. The wine that accompanied the meal was a decent red. All in all a very enjoyable visit.

Atmosphere and food is really good, the beer not so much.

Fabulous staff. Good beer and food

Lovely quiet and stimulating ambience. Louis is very helpful with friendly and efficient services.

Great service, fantastic beers and delicious burger. Thank you

cracking pub with a great selection of beers - Cam really runs a tight ship here, cant wait to go back!

Friendly place with great beer, food and service.

Visited for New Year's - quick and fresh food, good value drinks and lots of space for dancing!

Delightful bar and trivia. Personally I needed a little more salt and pepper on the chicken sandwich, but it was delicious after that

Top bar staff . Grace,cam,Louis and the gang best bar tenders in west London

Ate at the Abercorn Arms on Sunday and was very impressed. Its roast lunch was excellent, the staff were friendly and efficient, and the bill was pleasing too!

Great selection of in house Big Smoke beers and guest beers. Decent food too, great pub for a trip with friends.

Excellent Sunday Roast for kids

Dark and dismal expensive back street pub.

Nice Christmas eve evening out. Great English pub atmosphere.

Great food, helpful staff.wonderful atmosphere

Really good pub. Proper beers and wine, good food, nice staff. Recommended.

I booked The Abercorn Arms for our works Christmas lunch for 30 people. The pre-order process went smoothly and any enquiries were answered swiftly by Lewis or Dan. I was already impressed but that was outshone by the food and service on the day itself....

Good variety of drinks and nice food. Large beer garden at the back and cosy inside. Staff always makes you feel welcome.

Great meal last night for a party of 10. Lovely food, fast service, we ordered drinks etc from the bar, so there was no confusing bill to split. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thank you

Very much enjoyed our Christmas meal here. We were a party of 16 and the service was friendly and efficient. The food was excellent especially the roast dinner!

Lovely pub, great food. Super friendly staff

The perfect local pub - hearty food, cozy corners, a great range of beers and wine, fantastic & friendly staff and always a welcoming atmosphere.

A true 'IYKYK' pub. Love this place, secluded from the hustle of the high street and full of locals. Friendly atmosphere given off from the staff and manager (Dan) who was very helpful. Great selection of craft beer (cheaper than pubs) with multiple rotational lines. Definitely going back, would definitely recommend.

Nice little neighbourhood pub off the beaten path in Teddington

Good standard pub with helpful staff and child friendly.

100% for all service, food & atmosphere.

Great local pub. Excellent choice of beers. Decent food.

An hidden gem. Fantastic food and independent brewery what more do you want.

Honestly can not fault this pub, lovely decor, pretty outside area, dog friendly, kid friendly, the football on in the background (no sound) the most friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble, but best of all was this was the most tasty roast I have...

Loving the Abercorn Arms as my new local. Have had a couple of fab evenings there. Only suggestion is a bit of a menu refresh.. nachos with chilli not a brisket fan..but that's me.. a few more 'classics' would be good.. but really friendly staff and delighted to have a genuinely vg local! Thank you!

Cool pub with great selection of meals. Love that they do 50% on lunches during the week.

Lovely stuff chicken burger was incredible

We came across this place when absolutely ravenous and had the most amazing loaded fries, really nice garden with canopy cover.

50% off lunch is a pretty good deal.

Great pub - especially if you like a bit of traditional Irish music on a Wednesday. Who knew there isso many talented musicans knocking about. Anyone walking in as to be checked for a musical instrument 😄

Really good family pub, would highly recommend.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Happy to recommend and let you try an ale or two. Great selection of drinks and glad I went for the Big Smoke smoked nuts 🥜 😉

Drinks with a couple of mates on Thursday night. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue. Knowledgeable, happy and friendly staff behind the bar. Great selection of drinks and good recommendations/ale tasting. Thanks! Glad I tried the Big Smoke Smokey nuts 🥜 😉

Simply the best pub in Teddington

Fantastic experience all round! Well portioned, super tasty food. Friendly staff that go out their way to make you feel at home. Fantastic beers on tap. What more could you want! One of the best pubs in Teddington, definitely worth a visit.

Part of the Big Smoke Brewery founded at the Antelope in Surbiton, great range of real ales. I had the Big Smoke Porter which at 5% is a bit stronger than my usual pint but tasted really good. Also has a big garden open area at rear. Lots of food options and a wide range of keg beers.

Clydd and his team went out of their way to warmly welcome our party group. The staff were friendly and Clydd couldn't have done more to ensure that we had a great evening celebrating my husband's 50th. Thank you Abercorn!

Guinness is terrible, but the rest of the beer is great. Staff seem nice. Open clean pun, nice beer garden

Great little pub and beer garden!

Lovely and friendly staff but needs a bit more management and care. Clean the glasses out of the dishwasher, and needs someone in charge … could be amazing but seems like a student pub. Would love to love it but a bit of management is...

Nice food great staff highly recommended

Excellent service, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and tasty food. Great pub!
