We recently had our wedding at Pembroke Lodge, and I cannot say enough good things about the venue manager, Robert. From the moment we started planning to the big day itself, he was absolutely incredible. Robert went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, offer solutions, and provide creative suggestions that enhanced our vision. He coordinated effortlessly with our vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page, which took so much stress off our shoulders. On the day of the wedding, he was a true rockstar! He made sure the timeline flowed perfectly, from setting up the ceremony space to ensuring the reception transitions were seamless. His dedication and hands-on approach allowed us to enjoy every moment without worrying about a single thing. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to him and his team! Thank you, for everything you did to make our day magical.

We recently got married here at The Belvedere on 5th October and was blown away by the venue, the service, the views and the food! The location was second too none and got incredibly lucky with a very warm and picturesque day getting to experience the venue in all its glory with indoor ceremony and the experience of the terrace in the sunshine. The building itself lends perfectly to the ideal venue, with the biggest plus - the bar next too the dance floor! The food, we are still getting guests talk about now and unbiasedly say was the best I have had at any wedding! However above all the standout was the staff, from the very beginning they were attentive and able to answer any and every questions, the set up was perfect and made the day stress free and a big thank you to Lucy for the organisation and helping with last minute queries. Also a very big thank you too Nelson who was amazing from start to finish. Allowed us to be calm and knew the day was in good hands throughout and did it all with a smile and genuine care for our big day.

Beautiful venue but vegetables undercooked and indigestible. Even the potatoes in the moussaka. Very disappointed as I came all the way from Australia to take my elderly auntie out for the day. Our only outing as her energy is very limited. I hired a car for the occasion. It is her favourite place to go but unlikely we will come again after the poor food. Salmon was unavailable. Broccoli blanched lightning quick and essentially raw. Many elderly people eat here and I’m sure they are all suffering from gas and discomfort! We just couldn’t eat half of what we were served.

A big shoutout to Nelson who was absolutely brilliant and made the day feel so calm and well thought through. The food was delicious and all the team was so welcoming and super helpful on the day. Thank you so much, we really really appreciate all the help!

The Pembroke Lodge team were great throughout the planning process and made sure to accommodate on all of our requests. They were always quick to respond and advise using all their experience. Nelson and the team working on the day of our wedding were great and looked after everything ,which meant we did not have to worry about a thing on the day and could enjoy it. We planned to use the outdoor space during the course of the day but it rained at various points in the day. Despite the weather, Nelson was able to quickly adjust the plan on the day to make sure the key points that were meant to take place outside could still go ahead as soon as there were breaks in the weather. We were very much impressed by the service and our guests also commented on how great the staff were on the day. Aside from the service, Pembroke Lodge is a stunning venue with great views and gardens which is hard to find in London.

We recently got married in The Russell Suite at Pembroke Lodge, and it was an absolutely beautiful day. Our outdoor ceremony in The Woodland Garden was both stunning and private, providing the perfect backdrop for our vows. The grounds are breathtaking, and despite our initial concerns about the public nature of the park, the congratulations we received from passersby only added to the magic of the day. We took advantage of the venue's amazing recommended suppliers, all of whom exceeded our expectations and contributed to the smooth-running of the day. Having a food tasting prior to our wedding was an added bonus, as this is not something always offered by other venues. Our guests particularly enjoyed the canapés, and the pizza in the evening was exceptional. The day went exactly as we had hoped. Special thanks to Alice, whose clear communication in the lead-up to the wedding was greatly appreciated. Nicola also proved to be an excellent addition to your team. The setting and views were major reasons we chose Pembroke Lodge, and they did not disappoint. Our guests were in awe of the scenery, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. For a fabulous London location, Pembroke Lodge offers great value for money. If you're looking for a picturesque venue in beautiful surroundings, then we recommend Pembroke Lodge.

I really need to write 2 reviews - 30th March was our son and daughter-in-law's wedding in Pembroke Lodge - it was fabulous. Beautiful setting, wonderful staff, brilliant catering. Also,, we went back the next day (Easter Sunday) seeking out lunch and they came up trumps again - Kelvin found us a spot under an arbour which was perfect for adults and children alike. Just be warned - the food portions are generous!!!! Thank you all.

Magnifique endroit pour prendre un thé anglais. Il y a une magnifique terrasse pour s'installer à l'extérieur dans le Richmond Park, mais le mieux c'est l'intérieur avec des bow windows, des cheminées, des tables cirées ; l'impression d'être dans Downton Abbey ! De plus les gâteaux étaient excellents : je crois avoir mangé le meilleur scone de ma vie, avec la traditionnelle clotted cream et la confiture de fraise. Les muffins sont excellents également.

The staff were all professional, helpful and friendly. We live locally and could not have picked a better venue. We enjoy our walks in the park and often stop in for a coffee and cake - it is a place that will forever hold special memories for us. A huge thank you to all of the Pembroke Lodge team!

If anything was not as planned we were unaware of this, which is exactly as it should be. Such a beautiful setting and views, with a lovely sunset too. What more could we ask for?

With more than a dozen different tea types to choose between, a visit to this cosy little cafe in Richmond Park will not leave you complaining about lack of options! It’s the perfect meeting place for a stroll and then a cuppa, with great views from the outside tables if the weather’s fine.

Very fond of this place and go frequently for lunch and a walk in the park. Beautiful house and gardens, spectacular views. Went yesterday on a cold January day and enjoyed a hot meal whilst staring out of a big window as snow fell. Vegetable curry was good (£15) and a very generous portion - think maybe I would have preferred slightly smaller portion and correspondingly lower price. Cafe staff are delightful - very helpful and cheerful - especially the young man on the till. Seem to be happy working together - overall a cosy and friendly atmosphere.

My husband and I got married in the Belvedere suite at the beginning of Sept 2023. The venue itself was incredible, the food was stunning and the grounds are amazing. Would highly recommend this venue. However, I would recommend that if Robert is your banqueting manager you ask to change! Thankfully our family were more prepared and organised than Robert was. After leaving this review Louise responded to state he only got the shape of the cake table wrong. Robert made 2 people who don’t drink feel like their sobriety was an issue. The venue charged people for drinks whilst there was still a tab. He changed the timing of the meal meaning that we were unable to get sunset photos. He claimed he was present for a medical incident which had to be dealt with by a guest instead. Be very careful who you have dealings with at this venue. They will belittle issues big or small

We hired the Russell suite for our wedding ceremony this September. As the sun came out we were able to have the ceremony in the woodland garden which was amazing. The staff were helpful throughout the planning process and did a great job coordinating on the day particular thanks to Louise for help and constant communication regarding logistics in the run up and to Robert for his help and calm organisational approach on the day. This venue is stunning, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and we all had a great day. The food provided for lunch was delicious and they were able to accommodate some changes and requests after our tasting and up until 10 days before the wedding. We highly recommend this venue!

On the actual day of our wedding, Nelson made the day flow so effortlessly and he really just felt like a friend who was also in attendance. All the waitressing staff were also really attentive and helpful. The food from the in-house chefs was amazing, and we had so many compliments on all elements of Pembroke lodge from our guests.

We came for a snack lunch and to see the gardens surrounding the house and, of course the wonderful view. I've visited on and off over the last 25 to 30 years. The gardens near the entrance were an immediate disappointment. One parterre bed was empty with unfinished clipping to the hedge - the other was withering and unkempt. The border looked neglected and the border next to the house round the corner was bare and this is the 8th June when everything should have been planted! Also the borders to the left and right as you come through the entrance gate untended and weeds were apparent. All this used to be immaculate and had attractive planting. Into the cafe and I was so disappointed by the restricted offer of different foods. The sandwiches were so expensive, there no crisps or related snacks, and the cooked food counter was limited, offering no jacket potatoes, a staple for visitors wanting a light lunch. I wonder what is going on ? It does not look good for normal visitors or indeed for wedding participants. Such a beautiful house, too. Is it under new management?

Penbroke Lodge is one of my favourite places and I’ve been visiting frequently since I was a child. The views are amazing with seating indoors and outdoors not to mention the beautiful gardens which are superbly maintained. The food is delicious and and service is always outstanding. Hatun, who works is the tea rooms, has always gone above and beyond with the service she provides and it’s always with a personal touch and a friendly face. Her tea room is always immaculately clean and tidy and she really is an asset to Penbroke Lodge!

Lovely place to pop in for tea/coffee and cake after a walk in Richmond Park. The homemade scones are delicious! Served with clotted cream and jam. The views over Surrey Hills are delightful. Very friendly staff.

Came here and met a friend. Had a couple of coffees together, then I stayed alone for lunch. Had a sandwich and an orange juice and sat outside looking over the rest of the park by myself. The lodge has changed since I was last there, more modern, cleaner and fresher looking. It was packed and the food on offer was a much better selection then I had seen in the past.

Cheap quality stodgy meals. Stingy portions of foods. Rip off prices. Making money because of location and park. Should do better menu options for vegetarians. Jacket potatoes dry and gritty. Should use organic produce and organic tea with organic milk. Need to update decor in dining room.

It was nice to walk from the Terrace Gardens to Richmond Park and look at the views. The laburnum walk is worth a visit. Pembroke Lodge was nice as the tea and cakes were delicious and it was good to sit down in a beautiful place.

A friend and I go walking in Richmond Park weekly and always stop at Pembroke Lodge for coffee. We have gotten to know many people over the years which is one of the reasons we enjoy going. Another reason is Hatun who is a great member of the staff. Always friendly and helpful, she is very good at interacting with the staff and hard working.

Slightly different than anticipated. Got there on a late sunny afternoon. The terrace with a view over Surrey Hills was beautiful- probably earlier that day very busy. There is no table service for your tea. Inside you can take a tray and fill up your plate with homemade scones, clotted cream and jam and enjoy your cream tea outside. So- very friendly stuff, reduced service but delicious food with an amazing view for £4.50. I doubt you‘ll find such a treat anywhere else in London. I am glad to see there are still wonderful places families who are not filthy rich can afford.

Celebrated family member’s wedding here, everything was superb! From the service to the pre meal drinks and canapés to the delicious meal. Gorgeous views and can’t be faulted as a venue.

Popped in here for a spot of lunch with mum, as always a good selection of hot and cold food was on offer. I went with the vegan dish of lentils and kale. The only down side is the selection of “puddings” no Apple pie or other traditional puds. I did go with a blueberry muffin which was ok, the donuts looked amazing however as I have a touch of ADHD these can send me hyper so I avoided them! (Lets just say don’t ever let me eat two Krispy Kream donuts, that was an interesting 24 hours!!)The seating area was a tad messy, maybe due to the clearing lady being on a break, however the tables were soon cleared

Took a friend out for a meal at Pembroke Lodge which is within Richmond Park. I loved Richmond park and we spent some time driving around and watching the deer (there are a lot of them). We then went to Pembroke Lodge the food is really good with very large portions. Friendly and helpful staff. The place was busy but there are spacious inside and outside dining areas. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely go there again.

Cannot thank Pembroke Lodge enough for making our day so special. Faultless service and execution of the days plan. Food was delicious with many of our guests complimenting and remarking on the venue, service, food and lovely staff. Have to personally thank our wedding manager Laura and her team who was brilliant throughout. Couldn’t fault it and so many of our guests were in agreement and were equally delighted. Our photographer said it was the best wedding venue he had ever covered ! Worth everyone of the 5 stars I have given them.

At the suggestion of friends, we met up for lunch at Pembroke Lodge in Richmond Park. This is one of London's most beautiful parks.

What a magnificent location - one could not really wish for a better spot - the view, the surroundings, the position in london, everything about it is magical - but the food, the coffee, the service is very ordinary - a sad reflection of the lack of attention to service in Britain - and it is expensive for what it is - but as place to be, it is wonderful

It is always pleasant when my wife and I come to the Pembroke Lodge cafe for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, especially in summer. We can sit on the terrace with its broad view of London, watch people come and go and see the bold jackdaws grabbing at their food.

What excitement to anticipate a return to one of my favourite places when I visit Richmond. Always assured of a warm welcome and an extensive choice of menu for whatever meal you need, breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea and snacks... always tasty and tempting. The Lodge is situated in Richmond Park in a glorious setting with well maintained and beautiful gardens. Whilst the food was up to the expectations I was disappointed in only one thing...I happened to have been here when one of my favourite waitresses, Hatun, was away on holiday!! and I really missed the warmth of her big smile and warm welcome she seems to extend to all her guests! I have to note that the restaurant also looked a little untidy without her ever bustling presence. I will be sure to try to visit again soon and hope she has returned, it is so noticeable when she is away!

I drive around Richmond Park most weekends and sometimes stop off for a cup of tea, lunch etc. The cafe has a wide choice of teas, coffees and hot drinks. £2 for a pot of tea which gives you 3 tea cups worth. Just right. I have bought sandwiches, cakes etc fairly pricey but good quality. You can eat inside or outside. The terrace overlooks the Thames valley and is a spectacular view on a clear day. Watch out for crows who hang around the tables though. Bit of a nuisance. Inside the rooms are airy with high ceilings, traditional features and beautiful photo canvases of life and views in the park. Car park gets extremely busy at peak times, but I have usually found a space. The building itself if beautiful and well maintained with pretty flower beds by the path. Next to the car park is an information kiosk, toilets and a map of the park. Staff are very friendly and professional. A lovely place to stop. It is also a wedding venue so sometimes you see wedding parties in the adjacent rooms.

Our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding took place on July 27th with reception at Pembroke Lodge. It was superb from start to finish! In the build up we dealt mainly with Byron, who was the MC, and his attention to detail was impeccable. The food and wine were excellent quality, (and we are quite picky!) and the quantities were sufficient for the rowers and triathletes in the group! It rained briefly during canapés but this was handled promptly and efficiently and did not spoil the proceedings.

Lunch will range from a proper homemade cooked meal , salad and bruchetta, to a sandwich or cakes. You can sit comfortably in side or on the patio looking over the park

Although the coffee is amazing, the customer service from the gentleman behind the counter was not welcoming - there was no smile, or any friendliness whatsoever. I actually felt like I was intruding. For nearly £4 for a coffee, you would expect a friendlier atmosphere. A shame. I don’t want to return after that experience.

An easy easy 5 star from me. This is mainly down to the food itself. The quality and freshness shines through. The seating area is nothing special but you do forget about that when you start eating. Really is amazing amazing food and my fave bakery in London. If you haven’t been….you’re missing out!!

Stumbled upon this place when heading to our hotel. Staff were super friendly and the food lovely. They reserved a table for breakfast the next day for us, being very accomodating. To top it off the food was lovely.
