Went here for Sunday Brunch. I had the temerity to ask for some ketchup from one of our servers as they retreated from our table. The reaction was that of a teenager tasked with tidying their room. In a manner I can best describe as 'I hate my job but I hate you more' he pointed at an individual portion of ketchup and said, "you've got some already." One between four it is, then. On his return, I asked what the problem was. He replied, "don't talk to me like that." When I countered, he brought an end to our engagement saying, "conversation over" and stormed off. That was it. Rude, aggressive and sullen - not qualities you want in front of house. It's important to point out our waitress was lovely and the breakfast bagel I chose was delicious. Though it came with a complementary hair, I didn't find it until nearing the end so it didn't ruin the meal.

We were planning on coming for dinner but didn’t have a reservation so we were made to sit outside even though inside had plenty of seating. The service was very slow outside and it took a long time to get someone’s attention. I wouldn’t recommend this place as you can only go inside if you book and seats outside are limited. It’s a shame as it looks nice but the service wasn’t very welcoming or friendly. We didn’t end up having dinner we went somewhere else and stayed for a drink which took quite a while to get.

Appauling service - 30 mins to get a waiters attention and over an hour to get our mains. The excuse we ordered padrón peppers as a starter, which sat empty at our table for over 20 minutes empty. When we asked where our food was, no responsibility was taken, we were instead blamed for having ordered a starter in the first place. We then asked if they could please bring our food as we had theatre tickets - 30 more minutes later and we are still waiting. In total 90 minutes of waiting for a Diet Coke, padron peppers and a 12.5% service charge. Shameful.

I am completely blown away and grateful for the efficient service and the personal touch both of which put on to ensure we had a special evening.

I visited for brunch with some friends and the drinks and food were great. The service was friendly but very very slow and inattentive. We had to get up twice to find someone to ask for more drinks and to find someone to ask to bring my friend syrup. No one came to check in on us after bringing our food over. We probably would have stayed longer and had more drinks and spent more money if they service had been better. It’s a shame as the place is nice and it didn’t seem overly busy or short staffed.

We went before going to Richmond theatre so we particularly appreciated the prompt service. The place had a nice ambience and decor. We were served glasses of tap water quickly without asking which was appreciated. We had 2 servers; both were courteous and not in your face. We were told about the happy hour drinks menu which we weren't aware of and this meant good value drinks - wine and beer. The chicken and chips followed by crumble were good. Recommended venue near station and theatre.

From my first visit to the No 1a Duke Street, though I have yet to savor the menu fully, I am compelled to commend the exceptional service and welcoming ambiance. The staff, led by the delightful Olta, extend a warm, genuine welcome that sets a high standard for customer service. Olta graciously showed me several comfortable seating areas within the restaurant, each offering a unique and cozy atmosphere, perfect for settling down with a laptop. The presence of a fireplace adds a touch of homely charm that enhances the overall experience on this spring day. What’s particularly impressive about No 1a Duke Street is their attention to inclusivity and variety in their menu options. For those with specific dietary preferences or requirements, they offer an array of vegetarian and plant-based dishes, and they cater to gluten-free needs with alternatives like gluten-free buns and sourdough bread. The Burger + Pint special on Tuesdays sounds like a tempting offer, providing a house burger with fries and a choice of a pint, glass of house wine, or soft drink at a value that's hard to overlook at £17.5. For those who are gluten-sensitive or intolerant or Celiac: the burger meat contains wheat as a binder! The staff's proactive approach in ensuring that every guest feels noticed and valued—even though they were unaware that I had already been assisted by Olta—speaks volumes about their dedication to customer satisfaction. While my full dining experience at No 1a Duke Street awaits a future visit, the initial impressions suggest that this restaurant is not just about food, but about creating a memorable experience for all who step through their doors. If the quality of the food matches the quality of service and the charm of the setting, I’ll become a regular when I’m in the Richmond area. Update: I’ve returned numerous times since writing my initial review, and updated the ‘stars’ to reflect the food - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited on a Friday night with a small group of friends expecting great cocktails and dancing - what we got were ‘ok’ cocktails with terrible service from the kids behind the bar, who had such a bad attitude and clearly didn’t want to be there. The place was empty with the DJ pumping out the fairly average tunes. It was an odd, off putting experience. None of us will be returning, or recommending.

It winds me up when places charge you £15.50 for a burger and don’t include chips. You have to pay an extra £4.75 for chips and optional £2 for bacon. It winds me up even more when you pay said prices and the food is bare average. I’m not trying to be mean here but I honestly could and have made a better burger at home. It was utterly tasteless. No sauce, no seasoning, the bun was dead dry. The patty was over cooked and tasteless. The £4.75 chips had no seasoning. I would have had a better meal at five guys across the road. And also they use cheap ketchup. Just a rip off. Do the chefs and owners not try their own product? There is no way the chefs and owner can taste that food and honestly say that the food is good. Its not hard either! Just throw some Cajun spice on the chips, S&P on the burger, butter the bun, use a fresh bun, change the patty meat something richer. It’s a shame because the venue is lovely and the staff are good. I’ve also been before and had the Pappardelle pasta which was also disappointing. So unfortunately I won’t be going back and I recommend people find elsewhere. I write this because a) this was the second trip there and b) I’m tired of restaurants like this robbing people blind with below average food.

No 1 Duke Street is an interesting place in a nice location in Richmond. There is a small outside area for sitting if the weather is fine. The inside has 3 separate areas - a bright, contemporary area, a smaller area with large comfy chairs with a real fireplace and a larger area with it's own bar. Table service for drinks is available - we made ourselves comfortable in the comfy chairs and were soon served. 😀 Can't comment on the food as we were stopping off for an aperitif before going to dine elsewhere.

No 1a Duke Street, an unusual 'pub' lovely. Very busy so not many photos. Clearly a well known place to hang out and chat with friends and family. More geared towards table service, although there are a couple of bars here serving a selection of keg beers. I failed to spot any cask offerings (that may be my failure). A very cheerful pleasant place to visit and while away some time. Have to catch the place early for it not to be crowded, I suspect. A note, entrance is via the courtyard garden, easy to miss.

I've been before and had a lovely time therefore I won't give a super low review however, my past visit left much to be desired. I ordered the mushroom pasta which was bland, watery and quite frankly not worth the money. Luckily we had a lovely staff member who happily swapped the dish. Unfortunately, we ordered the mussels which also lacked in seasoning but we're also overcooked and full of grit/sand. I've eaten here in the past and had a great time so maybe something has changed in the kitchen. Will definitely give it some time before returning again.. if I return...

Avoid if you would like to be served. This lovely place is let down by the awful service. Waiting 15 minutes after sitting down to be asked for a drink, and only getting attention by constantly attempting to get staff attention, is not what you would expect. When taking the service charge off, because of the complete lack of any service, the waitress asked why, we explained very politely that the service was slow, and she snatched the receipt from my hand, didn’t apologise and handed the responsibility of payment over to another member of staff. Appalling behaviour. The £28 roast was seriously disappointing. I’ve attached a picture of what it gets you. Honestly, Richmond has so many other places to go for a Sunday, go elsewhere. We made a mistake today. Being a Richmond resident for a while, this place really does let itself down, compared to other restaurants in the area.

Long time Richmond resident but first time to No 1a. Great vibe, really nice interior, outside space and overall design aesthetic. Welcoming, friendly and accommodating staff, but actual service pretty slow. Watched one round of our drinks getting warm on the bar for about 15mins. Had a couple of nibbles with our drinks - the crispy squid was really delicious, BUT - and I know you can't compare a fast food chain with a hospitality venue - I do think that £4.75 (+ 12.5% service) for a portion of fries about half the size of a McDonald's serving is taking the piss. Shame.

She pushed passed people aggressively and told us 'whatever' when we complained to her. Nobody cold believe it! We found it hard to get service and drinks at the table as they were so short staffed.

Music was pumping at 8pm couldn't hear a word my guest where saying and when I request to either to be moved or if they could ask the DJ to lower the music I was told this is how it is. While the kitchen is open and guest are eating the music levels should be at a level that is in the background not drowning out the guest conversation. We had a manager that came over with some mini Guinness shots which really didn't help me hear my guest and just ended up shouting at eachother like being at a festival. DJ really needs to learn the art of building an atmosphere not raving it up at 8pm.

Highest recommendation. I’ve been coming here for years, never yet been disappointed. Most recent visit too a group of clients for dinner, excellent service and value.

Disappointing I’m afraid. Nice venue, but the service wasn’t great and the food was fairly average for the price. Yummy spiced margaritas though. But should be for the price!

First time I’d actually visited this place in all the years going out in Richmond - pleasantly surprised!

Came here recently with some work colleagues, there was around 20 of us. We were in the top event room with the dedicated bar. It was a fantastic evening, the staff were brilliant, and the food too. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Nothing was too much for them. The food all came out together, and all really nicely presented and tasty too. I went for the aubergine and flat bread to start. It was absolutely delicious. So full of flavour. I could have just eaten that all night long and been the happiest ever! For main I went for the steak. It was very tasty although very chewy, which wasn't too pleasant. Bit of a shame, but the flavours did make up for it. The fries that came with the steak were delicious. Nice amd crispy with a good fluffy inside. I've also added a photo of one of my colleagues' fish pie, which I was told was delicious. For desert, I had the lemon tart. It was nice, although very rich and I couldn't finish it all. Overall, I highly recommend coming here as it really was such a lovely evening enjoyed by all.

The best party ever. The organisation was seamless; everything was perfect and fell into place precisely as I requested. The dedicated barman was attentive, bringing out the drinks as needed and informing me of the stock situation so that I could assess the needs. It never felt like I was being pressured to order more and only being updated as requested so that I could make informed decisions. The food was incredible; all 31 guests still dream of the mac and cheese bowls. Tonya, the planner, was responsive to all my needs and questions and was never pushy. The venue is beautiful, the private room is stunning, and there is no need for additional decorations. It was set up to a standard beyond my expectations. I cannot believe how smoothly the whole process and evening went; I cannot find a single fault. Thank you for making my 40th so perfect and fun!

Amazed by the beautiful decor, it’s like entering Narnia. Loverly cafe area and courtyard at the front and then a grand room and bar. I came here for a late lunch on Sunday and got seated in no time. The Shakshuka was amazing. There are options for allergies as well. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Service is slow. It took me over 5 min just to get a menu, even though I asked one server if I could sit and tried to get the attention of another who went to both tables next to me. I had a soda on my table to entirety of my time here, but only after I ordered did they tell me I couldn’t drink it. If they’d told me before, but I’d already ordered the most overprice eggs Benedict I’ve ever had

Low review is for the food. Portions were small for the price, and the vegan options were terrible. Vegan burger had an insane amount of soy sauce in it which ruined the taste, and the vegan roast was so small it was basically a snack. Otherwise, the service was great and the place is beautiful, and we weren't rushed at all, which I appreciated.

have a wonderful time here, specially with their brunches! book in advance, of course. they have a big table in the middle, could seat about 12-16 ppl, which you'd envy sitting at it once you enter the venue. great for a big get-together.

Went there on a weekend, staff were making out at the tills, made us feel really uncomfortable. Saw another review about the same thing, please tell your staff to be professional.

Twickenham used to be great for pubs, now sadly they're losing touch ending up as at best mundane, and worst as simple booze dives. This one still has what it takes however. Putting the excellent range of beers (though often interspersed with somewhat trendy 'craft beers' - still a bone of contention for the real ale buffs) to one side for a moment, the pub retains it's original character. Real fires in winter, decent (rather than beautiful) garden for summer. A turntable for music (!) - and then that played at a pleasant volume. Staff are helpful, informed and hard working. Food looks tasety (I haven't tried it but it seems well prepared and unpretentious), and good value for money. Snacks are pricey - but then show me a pub where they aren't. True this is a real ale lovers CAMRA type pub. But the friendly staff and, lets not forget, the friendly, sometimes eccentric, local clientele, make this a welcoming place to go for a quick drink or an evenings relaxation. Well worth a trip.

Good food and polite staff. Floor and some tables were dirty and no cleaning or sweeping occurred during my 30min stay. Would like to have stayed longer but the chairs were so small and uncomfortable I would have needed a chiropractor afterwards.
