Ailsa Tavern in Richmond upon Thames

Unfortunately I was invisible at the bar and it took 20 mins to get served.

Very sound, godson people, staff and family friendly, perfect stew before a late kick off at Twickenham. Always good.

Nice pub, decent back garden too. Good selection of beers, football, poker nights and the bar maids are fit!

Great pub, great service, great beer

Good selection of beer,dart board and beer garden with a kids play area, friendly and efficient service.The staff are very hard working, good natured and kind hearted.I have been working through the menu,everything excellent, the Steak and Ale Pie is the best I've had in a London area pub.

Tremendous pub. Good food and excellent staff.

Great place and very kind people

Best Sunday roasts and pizzas, staff are top tier and great venue

Excellent Sunday lunch and superb service

Really nice pub, great beers and really friendly staff

Nice pub but the food runs out very fast on Sunday! Will be back again

Lovely traditional pub with excellent outdoor seating area. Loads of screens and they show the football. Bar staff know how to pour a proper Guinness aswell :-). Look forward to coming back when the sun is shining (if it ever does!)

Went back to this old haunt from my old days in Isleworth and it didn't disappoint

Lovely atmosphere and the bar lady Simone was a pleasure to be served by lovely pub

Went to the pub to see a band which I very much enjoyed. The service behind the bar was nothing short of perfect and the atmosphere was great as well. I haven't eaten at the Ailsa since the 2015 World Cup but I have been back several times for the music or just a casual drink. This is a great neighbourhood pub

Enjoyed our visit for Sunday roast. Food was good, selection of drinks good too and a friendly service. We will come back!

Nice place to drink and eat with friends and family... Can be really busy at big game events so keep In mind you may no get a seat.

Well done to the Alisa Tavern nestled between Isleworth and Twickenham. A great pub and restaurant. A proper traditional pub with a very welcoming feel to it. A Shepherd Neame offering, done with an eye on the local patron, all well executed. A fine selection of keg beers and a couple of cask ales on my visit although, to my surprise, no Spitfire (cask badge turned so, usually on offer) on either count. The staff are amazing and so much fun. A delightful pub, recommended by me ( please do not let that put you off!)

Great beer garden and decent drinks within walking distance of Twickenham

I don’t live in Isleworth any more. I must have been in my twenties the last time I was in the Alisa tavern and I was impressed today. We were in for a wake and I was really impressed by the friendly team behind the bar and the great spread of food. I’m gluten free these days and their GF sandwiches were better than anything I’ve eaten for years. Thank you. I’d love to come back soon.

Great place with lovely food ,thank you Pat for your amazing customer service!looking forward come in here again. N top of that they have amazing music box thanks Mr mark

Great music venue, place for meeting friends, great service and ambience

The perfect pre-rugby location! Lots of tv screens and fast, friendly and excellent service!

Attractive bar staff..not you Dan...

First time here for a Christmas party. It was a lovely pub and the food was good.

Very nice pub with good restaurant. The staff were particularly nice and the food spoke for itself. Looking forward to a Sunday lunch sometime. 👍

What can I say but a pleasure to to go there.

Wonderful welcome as always. A local pub with a friendly bature.

A favourite spot for a pint and a bite to eat. Always very friendly and welcoming. Bangers and mash was very tasty!

Visited for a drink - a great local pub in the heart of the community of St. Margarets Twickenham!

A really well run pub, neat friendly and a awesome outside garden section

Friendly and efficient service from Dan coupled with good food made for a really nice lunch experience.

Great location! Lovely garden/patio. Food is very poor and flavourless.

Great pub with really lovely staff. Nicely placed screens for watching sports. Nice buzzy atmosphere.

Had Sunday Roast. Roast Lamb. It was a good plateful, generous portions, and tasty too! Was only going to have a quick meal and a pint, but ended up staying 4.5 hours! There was a charity event going on, WImbledon Men’s Final was on the TV, and there was some great live music too. Had a really enjoyable afternoon!

Not been to this pub for a while it’s always been very friendly and welcoming. I popped in with a friend to use the toilet and have a quick drink then ended up ordering food. We had the nachos and pizza and both was amazing! Hats off to the chef homemade pizza was delicious! Would highly recommend coming in, they have a beautiful garden with cute little booths to enjoy.

Nice little boozer friendly staff and good food wot more can u say xx

Nice frendly pub, dogs welcome,good garden for kids. The beer options are a bit limited but has the usual.

Nice friendly pub, shepherds neame beers on tap

Food, beer and service absolutely fantastic 👌

Very nice and the food was good

Nice pub but online menu doesn't match the one in the pub, much more limited options available

Lovely pub. Landlord always very welcoming. Thanks!

Staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. A refreshingly pleasant experience.

Great pre-rugby place that is off the main track and 10 minute walk to the stadium.

Amazing roast, atmosphere, good prices & lovely people!

Service is excelent and prices are not too bad!

Lovely, quaint little pub in St Margarets. The bartenders are lovely and the food is delicious!!

Very nice pub. Didn't eat in but food looked delicious.

Attended a party hosted by a good friend at this great neighborhood pub. The service and venue were great. The food was yummy and very reasonably priced. The location is just a 10 minute walk from the train station or take a local bus from Richmond with a stop a few steps away. I've added it to my favourites list.

Mark and the team are amazing always a good time at the Ailsa

A warm welcome from the landlord of the pub is a fantastic start. The food quality is excellent and the atmosphere is perfect for sporting events as well as quiet nights in. I highly recommend this place

Friendly local sports and food pub welcoming cheerful bar staff

Great British pub and food. Just one merry of staff on but what a guy. He was brilliant and couldn't have done more for us. Thank you.

Lovely place with great staff, only visiting area for the day will definitely go back again when we return.

Only ever been here before the rugby. It is well set up not too crowded and good place to stop before and after the game.

Busy, friendly pub away from the town centre. Good ale and quick service

I absolutely love everything about this pub, the atmosphere, the staff and the food is superb. Had such an amazing night down there with my friends last week. Would highly recommend popping in if you’re in the area ❤️

Went with kids and some friends for a Sunday roast. Had chicken and beef mix with extra gravy. Their roasts are brilliant and the gravy is some of the best we’ve had. One of our friends is vegetarian and said it was one of the best veg roasts she has had. Staff are lovely too. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great local pub with friendly staff.

Great wee place. Good selection of beers/lagers. Very friendly staff. Food menu a bit small but I only went for drinks. Will definitely be back.

Great place for a drink and food went there on Sunday night

Its a great pub..my first Time and i liked it. I'll back

Very good live music and people

Lovely staff and delicious food

Great place, shame about the kids bit going but really nice layout

Great service, lovely staff and fantastic food. Nice beer garden to enjoy it all in. Highly recommend, we will be back.👏👏

Welcoming, friendly staff and great English food!!

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food. Brought my elderly Nan for lunch and they couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you Still amazing, awesome service, lovely staff, great atmosphere and food. Can't fault it. Take Nan regularly

Yummy food and drinks. Not too expensive. Nice, friendly staff. Just a shame they don't understand what a dash of coke with JD means.

Such lovely food, staff & atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend enough- can’t wait to come back for a Sunday roast!

Excellent quality food lovely bar staff.

There wasn't a shop just merch stands so no browsing

Great service and a good atmosphere.

Great location, Beer, Food and Staff and prices all very good; the outside space has been revamped to a high standard, well worth a visit.

Great friendly, clean pub. Good food. Fabulous staff. Thanks 😊

Lovely food and friendly staff. Went as part of a large group and everyone loved their food

Great pub excellent bar staff, good proper food. And a great garden for the kids!

A lovely pub. Having grown up down the road and now living in Faversham with the same brewery I was a little disappointed with the lager options but staff couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. Definitely worth visiting

Poker night, Tuesday. Best £5 you’ll ever spend and they feed you at half time!

Great food, friendly staff. Lovely beer garden 👌

Always the best roasts at the Ailsa. Both child and dog friendly, win win all round

Ok food. Very noisy children's party going on when I attended during a Tottenham match. Unfortunately some of the adults attending the party were using bad language in front of children.

We’ve been going to the Ailsa for many years (off and on). We visited the pub a few months ago and were pleasantly surprised at how busy it was and by the warm welcome we received. We’ve returned regularly and noticed how booked up it got for Thursday curry night. We decided to give it a go. Wow- the curry was absolutely delicious and great value. Friendly welcome, great vibe, diverse customers and fantastic food, it really makes for a lovely night out. They even like dogs!!

Great place, always a warm welcome and a great atmosphere on game days

Food, Beer selection and Wines all excellent - hosted by a sexy beast of a landlord... Cheers Marc!

Had a really amazing lunch on Sunday. The service was amazing and the food is of a really high quality. Its a great place for the family or for a date night. We also visited the Curry night (Thursday) and the choice was brilliant. The staff are super friendly and helpful and go out of their way to make sure they meet your needs. Definitely give it a visit, but make sure you book, its well liked and one of the few places that is busy in January. Thanks to Mark, Nick, Jenny & Dani for the warm welcome they provide.

The Ailsa is an old style local pub which serves a great range of keg beers, it has a large garden which is lovely on sunny days. Mark the owner and the staff give a warm welcome and are super friendly, they recently started a Thursday Curry Night which serves great curries made by a local lady chef who really know her stuff. It is also great for sporting events and the place gets rammed on Rugby days.

Great bar tenders with a lovely selection of drinks on tap

Lovely pub, very friendly staff and locals, great food!

Great welcoming atmosphere from the staff. Lovely food and a really good all round vibe!

Lovely staff and comfortable environment

Great Post match drinks and watch the remaining games before heading home. Thank you always do their best when we are all crammed in :0))

Great atmosphere and good service

I had the best pork crackling ever today

Lovely sunday roast. Great service. Very polite staff

Friendly staff and pleasant surroundings. Also one of the few places around that sell Tayto Crisps.. 😋

Good local, garden and very well kept premises.

Good Sunday roast - healthy portion with all the trimmings

A short visit to this pub, which I have driven past many times. Friendly welcome into a clean, traditional pub with a very nice beer garden. Guinness was good, and a reasonable price. Sunday roasts were being served and looked good. If I was local, I'm sure it would be a regular spot for me.
