Rock and Rose Restaurant in Richmond upon Thames

We had an amazing experience at Rock and Rose in Richmond! We were lucky enough to be served by Daisy, who made the evening truly exceptional. She was incredibly personable and engaging, with a fantastic knowledge of the menu that really enhanced our dining experience. Her recommendations were spot on, and she went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the tomato and mozzarella arancini balls, the French onion soup, and the lamb three ways — each dish was perfectly executed and full of flavor. Overall, it was a memorable night thanks to the delicious food and the outstanding service from Daisy. We can’t recommend Rock and Rose enough and will definitely be returning!

This is one of my favourite restaurants to go to before attending a match at Twickenham . Food and service are always superb. Location and decor are perfect. Our next booking is already in the diary.

We came to Rock and Rose Richmond on a whim and this restaurant do not disappoint. We had a brilliant experience. The cocktails are to die for. The mixologists know what they are doing. We'd recommend the spicy and smokey margarita. We shared the Asian duck tacos as a starter which was a delight. I had the seabass with the Asian greens. It was crispy and cooked to perfection. My partner had the pork and he thought it was a stunning dish, in presentation and taste. We also were very greedy and had the dessert platter, which we would recommend if you're very hungry! However, the staff are the real stars here. Alex, our waiter, was polite and friendly and made sure we were well looked after. Our host was Benjamin who was very kind, friendly and was happy to advise and chast. Honestly, the staff really made our day! We can't wait to come back! Thank you Alex and Benjamin!

Went here on Sunday 03/11/2024..for my eldest son’s birthday..it couldn’t have been worse..the rude man(front of house was so awful..we had been sat down for not even 5 minutes & he came over & said “can you please hurry up & order as I’ve a table of 15 coming in soon”!!! 5 minutes later a group of 4 sat next to us & he completely left them alone !? The table of 15 never showed.. The FOOD!! So we ordered the roast beef x4 it was absolutely disgusting..2 slices of very thin fatty beef..the roast potatoes were so hard & stone cold..(reheated I’d say.) the veg was cold & very hard..really cold nasty meal.. Would NOT recommend eating here.. Very PRETENTIOUS & stuck up place..the front of house man..should be spoken to or sacked the way he treated us.. I wouldn’t waste your money here..horrible atmosphere & like I said awful food/service & so very PRETENTIOUS.. I rate this place zero out of 10..!!!

Great roast lamb - and we loved the cocktails - a perfect margarita! Nice to see a local restaurant so busy.

Beautiful restaurant in Richmond. Lovely food , with fab service an atmosphere. It's the small touches that make this place magical. Wide range of food options...

When turned up manager cane to table to say if he could get us served quickly as had a big party coming in I think we were not his type of customer. As no big party came in and then another group came sat beside us and was not asked same thing. Pretentious? Also food was low quality mediocre. Tuff beef Hard warm potatoes Not very good at all Would never come back

We had what started off as a good experience - the service was quick, friendly and attentive, and the cocktails and food were good. We particularly enjoyed the Asian Platter. But after that it just sort of changed without any real reason - it was hard to get our waiters attention and then we felt incredibly rushed out of the door. The bill came without prompt and well before we’d finished our bottle of wine. We had planned to maybe have another cocktail (we weren’t holding tables up by any stretch). It was strange and sort of ruined the experience, especially since we were there for a birthday dinner. A shame as it started so well!

I had most delicious seafood and desert in this place.

Celebrated with team mates as a group of 12 for my birthday. We had a wonderful evening, great food and drinks, very attentive and professional service, we booked the private dining area and it worked perfectly. Everyone enjoyed themselves, Daisy was our main server and she was brilliant!! Thank you!

Great atmosphere, excellent food and polite, attentive staff!

Last night, my partner and I went to Rock and Rose restaurant.(Richmond) The gentleman who welcomed us was very friendly and polite. We started with a Merlot, which was absolutely superb. For the starter, we had the Asian platter, which was incredibly tasty. For the main course, we had the Chicken Milanese and a House Salad. For dessert, we had the chocolate fondant. All the dishes were full of flavour. The gentleman in a suit, whom I believe was the restaurant manager, was very kind and engaging, and he came over for a chat with us. The lady who served us was also very polite. We had a lovely time and will definitely be returning.

Wow what an experience! Absolutely everything was amazing - cocktails, food, staff, decor and vibe!

Amazing foods good cocktails , the service somewhat slow. Great atmosphere through.

Beautiful presentation of cocktails which were incredibly delicious! We loved the service from Benjamin.

Amazing cocktails and service from Benjamin! Will definitely be coming again.

Went for a catch up with a friend, the food was very good, I did find the waiter overly attentive, almost felt a bit rushed but it wasn't a great problem because we didn't want a late night. So I would recommend a visit.

The place is beautiful, and the food was good but the service is poor, the waiter from Serbia was grumpy and making faces while taking the orders and when we were paying the bill. However Benjamin was friendly and professional.

There is seating in the front and main part of the restaurant. We were welcomed by duty manager. Great food and service. The lady that served us, was very attentive and personable. 2 hours seating only, but as we had a later booking we were lucky to have been able to stay to near closing.

Excellent family meal before a wedding

Benjamin was a superb host as were his colleagues. The food was exceptional! Can not recommend enough. Music was also perfect as was the atmosphere. Thank you

We had an amazing time at Rock and Rose Richmond! We came for a work event, big group of over 20 people, preordered! The staff were amazing, especially Ben, and they catered to our every need even though we were late and a bit hectic! We will be back. Great food and cocktails :)

We chose this place on recommendation for a friend's birthday. We had heard that the cocktails were particularly good. The only thing that made our evening unpleasant from the moment we entered was the waiter who served us. On several occasions he displayed behaviour that was not in keeping with the quality of the place with his rude attitude and harsh style. His communication with customers was rude and unfriendly. He constantly gave us harsh warnings and finally he did not apologise when he stepped on my foot while clearing the table, he warned me to fix your foot so that I could clear the table. This person should definitely not work in the service industry, even though we liked the food and drinks of the place, I would never think of going back because of this attitude and I would not recommend it. Because while the evening should have been a good memory, it left us nervous and unhappy. As long as this person works there, I am sure you will lose a lot of customers.

Wonderful dinner and Benjamin our host couldn’t have been more lovely and attentive. A lovely evening - thank you.

If you come to Richmond and you don't go to the Rock and Rose... then, in my opinion, you've missed out. Dinner was excellent, no faults.

The cocktails were absolutely lovely with having the classics with a twist. Only downfall was we had to wait quite a while for the drinks. Would definitely recommend. The food was very good too. Loved the chilli squid and risotto

Lovely restaurant with good quality food. Bit pricey though. A nice time out with great service. I recommend the aperol spritz it’s huge

Booked for a birthday meal on a Sunday afternoon. The reason I choose this restaurant was because a couple or years ago we had a wonderful meal there on a Sunday afternoon and thought we must return. The service is excellent and I could not fault a thing, the decor and atmosphere is lovely and the drinks are rather nice as well. That brings me to the food. Starters were good but the Sunday roast was let done by the meat. I had the lamb mainly because last time it was carved from the bone and very tender and tasty however this time is was boned and rolled sliced lamb, not very tasty and a bit of a let down. One of us had the beef which I was told was very tough and chewy. We also had the seabass which was very dry both on the outside as well as the fish meat. We requested more sauce just to give it some moisture. We did not want to complain as we could not see much being done except maybe offer us another dish which we really did not want or wait for it. So sorry Rock & Rose but I feel your standards on the food front has let you down. Shame as everything else was great.

Amazing service by Daisy and the best cocktails by Eddie! 🎉 Spiced Paddington drink was top of the top!

Eddie made us very nice and tasty cocktail called Spiced paddington. A must try. Best mixologist!! He makes really nice cocktails and you can ask him to make any cocktail for you... 5 stars to Eddie...

My friend and I had the pleasure of dining at Rock and Rose last night, and it was an experience that exceeded our expectations. The cocktails were truly extraordinary, both in flavor and presentation. Adam, the talented mixologist, crafted some of the most remarkable drinks we've ever had, and his friendly demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We opted to sample several of the starters, and each one was a delight. The chili squid, in particular, was a standout. The only downside? I wish I could dine here every day! Thank you, Rock and Rose, for another unforgettable evening. You never disappoint!

1st time visit for my birthday treat n I loved it lovely atmosphere will come back again

Eddies spiced Paddington was 10/10! Best cocktail I’ve had in years. The outside is really nice on a summers day too. I’d definitely recommend

Had an amazing evening at rock and rose. Steve and Kayleigh were so friendly and made the evening so special! Will definitely be back! Great cocktails, great value from money

Beautiful restaurant, good food, friendly staff great atmosphere, highly recommended

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch here recently. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I chose the tofu curry and chocolate cake from their vegan menu and they were delicious. As was the Golden Peacock cocktail I treated myself to as well! The decor and atmosphere were great. I'd recommend and I'm sure I'll be back.

We had a family reunion so were a large party and the staff accommodated us in our own part of the restaurant which was perfect. Our waiter was brilliant (I think his name was Alex) he had a print out of all our pre ordered food and all courses were served quickly and efficiently. Sadly 2 of our group couldn't stay and they took the main courses off with no charge. Food was delicious, so all in all a great afternoon.

Great location with a terrace. Delicious, vegetarian food and great cocktails/mocktails!

I went tonight for a drink with my girlfriend, amazing as usual. Had a couple of Negronis made by Becky (spot on, she’s really an amazing bartender) and my girlfriend had a whiskey sour (again, kudos to Becky). Our night went absolutely great, except for the fact that there was a table of 4 people (2 women and 2 men - one incredibly rude) that have been complaining throughout all evening about everything in a really loud way. They have been abusive towards all the members of the staff and when they left they verbally attacked one member, clearly only to cause problem, in front of us and some other customers on the terrace. Some people should avoid to go out if they have a miserable life themselves.

We had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary. I was on crutches and as soon as we arrived we had fantastic service. We were given our choice of table where I would be comfortable and they arranged that I could put my foot up when it became uncomfortable. When they found out it was our anniversary we were given a complimentary drink of our choice. The food was outstanding and our waitress was perfect as was the manager and the other members of staff who spoke to us. We will definitely visit again. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Had some great food from the starter menu as nibbles - the tuna tartar was a highlight. Adam behind the bar was great and served some ice cold beers as well as great whisky cocktails. A great date spot

Booked this restaurant for a late Saturday lunch, having never been before but obviously reading previous varied reviews. On entering we received a very friendly warm welcome from the manager and our waiter. We were told we could choose to sit anywhere and we chose the conservatory at the back. OMG…the decor everywhere is absolutely beautiful including the furniture, tables, chairs and lights. Our cocktails, wine and starters and mains were sensational but to die for was the best sharing dessert platter.OMG… Our experience could not have been any better and we will most definitely return, I found a really unique gem of a restaurant. My husband and I did not want to leave. Thanks for such a wonderful afternoon of gorgeous cocktails and food. You said to us on leaving, maybe see you again next week, maybe not but definitely in the coming months…

I loves everything with this place!

All good but not amazing. Will recommend but for me little bit weak menu. Food has been very good and will recommend for daily meal not for date's. Starter taste and looks was much better than main course, but taste is good

An absolutely amazing restaurant and should be on the to do list when visiting Richmond. The food was amazing 10/10 and the staff were absolutely brilliant!!

Wonderful Anniversary meal. Such a welcoming restaurant with fresh food. We really enjoyed our evening. Recommend the sea bass.

MAGNIFICENT …. My third visit and each time I love it more Lobster shrimp risotto was one of the best ever ! Staff adorable helpful and service or efficient Absolutely love the decor it’s stylish and comfortable

Hospitality at its best. A warm welcome, friendly and courteous, and very importantly, excellent food ( possibly the best sea bass I have ever enjoyed). Very relaxing atmosphere, no being rushed to finish our meal, almost like being in a sun drenched Mediterranean restaurant. Definitely want to go back if we can fit it in on our trip down from Scotland.

On of the best restaurants in London! You have to try the rips and one of the cocktails.

Recommended by a friend, we really enjoyed the food and the service was excellent. Hope to go there soon

My wife and I had an absolutely faultless meal here recently! The service was outstanding and attentive, the food was exquisite, and the decor and atmosphere was a hard act to follow!

Very tasty food, excellent service, and a lovely atmosphere 😀 Highly recommend 👌

Lovely restaurant with friendly helpful staff. Lovely for a group or family catch up. We all enjoyed our food. My husband especially enjoyed the Miso Cod. Great cocktail list.

I had the most amazing experience at Rock and Rose in Richmond. The food was great - my friend and I ordered the crispy tempura shrimp, the chicken milanese, the lamb leg steak and sticky toffee pudding for dessert - can't fault anything, tasted amazing! The drinks were delicious too, the bartenders put on a whole show for us and it added to the experience. The staff were all so lovely and hospitable, I loved the decor and ambience inside and it was super packed which goes to show how popular it is. Thank you so much for having us, this place is a hidden gem for sure! Can't wait to return ✨️

Great Asian European fusion food.

Had a lovely evening with friends. Short walk from the Richmond Railway station. Has outside seating as well. Food was fresh and tasted very good with good presentation. Cocktails and wine were good as well as the desserts. Would have liked to see a gluten free dessert but at least there was a vegan one. Host was very warm and welcoming and graciously let us stay a little past the 2 hour mark after our server made it a point to remind us…our server seemed to be a little less than polite at times even though we were very polite and friendly with him. Overall good experience and service from the other staff was very good. Will be back.

Some food was better than others eg my Thai r red curry was rlly nice but the Massaman was quite plain. Service was friendly but sometimes a bit slow. Did feel welcome though. Atmosphere was very nice with lovely decoration and the restaurant getting fairly busy on a Tuesday night.

A lovely restaurant with great food.. We dined with friends, the portions were huge which makes a change nowadays!! Slightly let down by the service.. we were asked 3 times whether we wanted to order our food when we’d already placed the order!! But when we actually wanted a server to order more drinks, it was difficult to get their attention as they weren’t very attentive… I’d visit again because the food was delicious.

Cracking meal as ever. Attentive and unobtrusive service. Asian Platter starter stunning.

Wonderful restaurant with great food and atmosphere. The service was top notch. Special shout out to Steve whose great service made the evening so memorable.

Such a cute great find. Love the quirky decor and drinks. Had a great tofu curry and a burger. Is a mix of american / asian food.

10/10 drinks, food, service as always

Beautiful spring day. Lounging in the Sun with the roof open.

really delightful chicken milanese which came in a huge portion, would 100% recommend this meal and would definitely return to order it again. chips were great along with the cocktails. only downside with our experience here was that one of my friends ordered the cottage pie which was apparently not very nice at all and came in a small portion. regardless, fast service, nice atmosphere and very accommodating staff. would recommend!

Stunning place, absolutely love the staff, food is perfect and the drinks can't be beaten!!

The food was average, I had the beef massaman curry which didn’t have a lot of flavour. My starter was the prawn tempura, which again were quite average. The cocktails were good and presented well.

I booked a table that was intended to be a very special occasion and the experience was one of disappointment. The restaurant failed to accept responsibility for a failed booking and pushed the issue onto us. We have eaten at rock and rose on numerous occasions and yet our loyalty meant nothing to them and therefore don’t expect any level of a quality or accountability on their part

Delicious food, marvelous service. Never disappoints

I visited the Rock and Rose yesterday and the whole experience was amazing. There were 6 of us and we all had such a top time. We were looked after by the assistant managers, whose name I have forgotten. He gave us great advice when we were ordering our starters, portion size/flavours etc. We had the Asian platter, prawns and the arancini. Everything tasted to good and the stand out was the Korean chicken. What made it so good was that he said he would take our main order after we had eaten the starters. It was so good as that we were not being rushed and gave us chance to maybe change our minds. All mains were great along with the desserts. I cannot wait to go back there. My only regret is that I hadn’t been there before. 10/10 yesterday. Thank you very much.

We returned to Rock and Rose yesterday for Sunday lunch and were so impressed. The food was excellent (roast lamb, roast chicken, seabass) and beautifully presented. The staff were very welcoming and the Bloody Mary's are to die for! Highly recommended.

Disappointing. Table wasn’t ready and had to be cleaned on arrival. Left standing around in everyone’s way by the bar. Very cold drafty restaurant yesterday. One of the waiters of about 5 ! handed me a hot plate , instead of coming around the table . Mediocre food, well over priced for the end results . Chicken milanese, over sauced duck starter. Got our drinks order wrong . Received our food before our cocktails ordered. Difficult to get a waiters attention and then on leaving nobody asked us if we enjoyed our meal or said goodbye. The funniest part was when the waiter asked us if we wanted to split the bill between 3 . My daughter is 6 years old ! lol

Perfect on all fronts, food and cocktails were amazing! They have an amazing cocktail list, perfectly crafted and with great attention to detail. Celebrated a birthday, so they offered a cocktail on the house with sparklers. Will come back, to try some more delicious cocktails!!

Had a birthday lunch today at the Chiswick restaurant, it was amazing!! We had the prawns and squid to start, my fiancé had the duck tacos as a main and I had the sea bass. All food was exceptional, the Flying Goose Bloody Mary is to die for. Overall a ten ten experience, I was expecting it to be good as I’ve been to Annie’s several times but The Rock and Road blew us away.

Good food and good service. The decor is unique.

The cocktails and food were nice. I enjoyed the golden peacock cocktail. And the sharing dessert platter was beautiful. I visited because I heard great things about the restaurant. The service I received was shocking. The man who served us, Alex, took our food away without asking if we had finished. Minimal communication between the waiter and us. He then brought the bill over to our table without asking us if we are ready. The overall service I had last night wasn’t the best.

Nice little find! Came here on the strength of reviews and we weren't disappointed. Nice decor, lovely service, great cocktail selection. And my sea bass main was so good I didn't want it to end.

Honestly one of the best meals iv ever had, cocktails incredible, food incredible, staff were excellent i would highly recommend

Nice decor, Good food and cocktails, lack of a few main courses off of the menu was disappointing (no pork belly), especially as our table was around lunchtime.

Went for a Friday night dinner, we shared 2 starters (the tempura prawns and the sashimi) which were really nice and then shared both the curries for main which were also nice. The only thing I would mention is that the food menu is so varied with cuisines that it is a little confusing… but the service and ambience was lovely. I would definitely recommend!

Great place for a meal with quality food. Excellent traditional Sunday Roast Beef Lunch with all the fixings. Highly enjoyable. Could perhaps have done with a couple more extra pieces of meat but all in all enjoyed. Been back twice now.

Amazing food and unbelievable customer service. Our waiter went above and beyond to ensure we had the best meal and experience.

Loved the atmosphere and decor. Very good mocktails and deserts.

Third time here. Arrival was lovely very welcoming and attentive staff. My partner got the steak and I had the sea bass both enjoyable. We had 3 cocktails each (didn't taste that great) that were beautifully presented. Overall lovely experience, I will continue to come!

It’s a nice place, but I’m afraid to say there’s a mismatch between price and quality. I think the actual meal was good; starters were delicious; we enjoyed some cocktails; Miso Cod was good; dessert was nice; steak wasn’t the best, and somehow they managed to generate nuclear-hot chips that were simultaneously not at all crispy?! On price they are definitely walking the upper line of acceptability, which requires all the other things to be stellar at that price-point. Sadly, the other things are not in place. The service felt slow, and we were not the only table asking after our main courses. The chap we asked didn’t actually bother to come back and update us, and nobody did a check to see if everything was ok once the food did arrive. The young waiter also didn’t understand aspects of the menu. The ambience of the restaurant seemed fun, but the ambience of the toilets was definitely Wetherspoons on a Friday night. Absolutely stinking, and I’m glad we were seated nowhere near the stairs. Utterly awful stench. So overall the visit did not feel like value for money, and we’ll probably be one-time customers as a result.

Again another brilliant visit. Amazing and attentive staff. A wide menu choice. Would absolutely love to return to explore more of the menu. The ribs were incredible! Thank you

Keep coming back here and never dissapoints! My favourite new cocktail was recommended by Edddie and was absolutely mouthwatering! Mai tai-ing my way all the way back to Rock in Richmond and thank you to the newest funkiest bartender in the whole of London!!!

Lovely place, great food, really cool bar staff, however incredibly rude and obnoxious manager ruining the place. Two messages concerning a poor experience on Christmas day were ignored, and when I raised it in person i could not believe how we were spoken to, and will never go back. Spent well over £1k last year there, and who knows how much over the past 13 years, but done with them now.

I’ve heard great things about rock and rose and went to celebrate a birthday but I was hugely disappointed The service was awful! The staff are rude and the food is just ok. We asked if we could bring a little cake for the birthday (and it was little, like a £3 one from a supermarket) and was told yes that’s fine. No mention of service charge for the privilege We took the cake, they presented it and then wanted to charge us when the bill came out, £26 cakeige!!!! £26?!!!!!! To bring the cake to the table?!! The cake cost me £3…? Plus after leaving half the cake (it was just a slice left) I told the waitress to give the rest to the staff! They still wanted to charge £26!! The food was just ok. Nothing amazing! You could get the same food in any decent pub nowadays! It was very hot and uncomfortable as we were sat next to a radiator that was on full and was too hot to touch so a bit of a hazard! It’s not wheelchair friendly at all and the steep stairs to get to the loos are a hazard. If you have mobility problems this place is inaccessible especially if you need to visit the bathroom All in all….. I’d never go back. It’s over rated and I’ve been to much nicer restaurants and got better service and food for cheaper! Do not waste your time or money Don’t be drawn in by the name!

Wonderful Sunday roast today! All four of us were delighted with the service, meal and lovely sharing desser platter. We will be back soon.

Great food and amazing hospitality. The team is very welcoming.

We booked the private dining space for a celebration. The service was outstanding, we had young children with us and the staff were very accommodating. The food and cocktails were delicious and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere.

Gorgeous food and even better cocktails..... Will definitely be back soon ❤️

Absolutely amazing service, good and drinks. Definitely will be coming back if we find ourselves in the area again. The Beef Massaman and the Pork Belly were beautiful

First time visit and it won't be the last everything about was great. Staff were very attentive while the other places nearby seemed a bit empty this was quite busy. Give it a try. By the way the Banoffee Pie was excellent.

Every dish we had looked fab and was so good - especially the tacos to start!! Best I’ve ever eaten!! Great service and loved the whole menu - wish I lived a bit nearer so I could visit more often!!

Such a lovely place! This restaurant has a very romantic atmosphere, the staff are very polite and lovely too. The food is very well put together and aesthetic, and the drinks are excellent too! If you are of Portuguese or Brazilian origin you will love their caipirinhas 😋. I will definitely be returning several times!

Really nice restaurant with some great food and cocktails. Service was friendly and helpful.

We had such an amazing evening, perfectly relaxed for our stay in the area. We enjoyed the some amazing starters and mains for really good prices especially for the area. We would 100% be back. The food was great, the service excellent and the drinks perfect poured.

Made very welcome by staff. Excellent meal, a very lovely lunch, thank you.

Great cocktails, decor and service but the food is very much hit and miss with some good dishes and others leaving much to be desired. We expected better food for the price (even the dessert disappointed me!) but perhaps that's down to individual taste.
