Roebuck in Richmond upon Thames

Great food and service today. Had a lovely chat with the young Barman Tony.

Fantastic both the service and the food and very nice atmosphere and location

Gem of a pub. So lovely and cosy on a cold winters day. Food was great, toasted cheese sandwich you got 2 big sandwiches! Good service and of course you can pop out to admire the wonderful view

Well worth going for a drink as most people do. They run a take away service which is great to have with the view. Service is really slow inside for food and there were at least three complaints during my lunch there from other customers. I would eat elsewhere.

Service was perfect, Bianca and Justyna made my night so good. The food was amazing, and the service was excellent! Will definitely be back soon.

Our walking group has been coming to "The Roebuck" for upwards of 10 years. In fairness I was concerned at "the change of management" but had found both Bianca and Justyna so very helpful, welcoming to our group, and helpful in all ways. Will be back for our "Annual Post Xmas Walk & Social" next year - attempting to get them to do a Summer on - THANKS AGAIN Bill

Booked the private dining area for a lunch, celebrating Dad’s 85th. Wonderful service, great food - the best roast beef I have had in a pub for quite some time, and reasonably priced! Great atmosphere too. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you for making it so special!

So lovely to have eaten a lovely sandwich and be served by a lovely west Indian lady xxxx

Lovely food and environment, great location and friendly helpful service. Thank you!

Lovely pub and nice food But the guy managing dining area upstairs is so unpleasant rude and his manners are so unwelcoming Needs training how to work with people Really spoiled the whole experience….. and messed up the order Guys you really need to look into your management lovely spot don’t let waste of space lose the whole idea

Food was very nice. Service was great! Tony was very attentive and polite

Amazing evening meal, great food & even better service from Tony! Would definitely recommend!

Ive had so much better from the Roebuck Richmond previously. Very disappointing Sunday roast. Vegetables were tiny, dehydrated and bendy and therefore inedible. Roast potatoes tasted and looked processed like they were Aunt Betsy's. The pigs in blanket (2) were so hard they were not chewable and so therefore also inedible. The meat portions were very small. I had the chicken which was overcooked and bone dry. I put the gravy boat on the dish to fill up the extra space as there was so little food. The Yorkshire pudding also took up space on the dish which I had to ask and pay extra for. I have photos which show, if you remove the Yorkshire pudding and gravy boat, how little food and in adequate the food was for £22 and over an hours wait. I did mention it to the manager and she "assured" me it was "normal' and the same as everyone elses but "to make me feel better" she provided more roast potatoes and extra veg - again all inedible. Really disappointing and poor and I will not be going back. I sent a message to the Roebuck and I've had no response. I put a post on Facebook including the Roebuck in it and again no response. Please let me know if you would like to see the photos! Dear The Roebuck Many thanks for the response to my review. However, I really would not want to spend more money on food at The Roebuck after the shocking roast, I had there last Sunday and the managers poor attitude. But thank you for the invite to return. Emma

That was my first and last visit to this place. Looks like staff don’t know what hospitality is. They acting like they don’t want to see you at all. Chap who is working upstairs on the first floor so non-confident. He has ignored us several times. Table is limited to 1.5 hours and has to be returned back. Feels like he doesn’t like East Europeans for some reason. However we live for 20 years in the UK and we are British Citizens. Shall we expect the respect from waiters team in the restaurant? If you wish to have better service and atmosphere, avoid this place. Feel free to contact me for further details.

Idk about pubs but that Tony fellow sure can pour a ginis

Great atmosphere, delicious food and Tony is very helpful.

Stopped by the Roebuck for lunch with my mother and was greeted by our wonderful server Tony. He was on his own but smashed it out the park. Great food. Great service.

Just popped in on the way back to the hotel, really warm and cosy, staff were friendly, didn't stay long so as was a little late.

We did have a wait at the bar and felt invisible as not even an aknowledgement when walking past. Once they came to serve us the staff were very nice. Squid was a lovely starter as was the feta and soda bread. Mains were Haddock, vege burger and fish and chips, all very nice. The pub was lovely and cosy and I would reccommend it. We forgot to take any photos!

Superb service, excellent food, wonderful ambience. The view from the upstairs restaurant is matchless.

Beautuful pub, very elegant plus amazing garden

Great service by Tony and superb food! Amazing views of Richmond!! Will definitely be back

I am such a picky person in regards to my food, cocktails and atmosphere (which is always based on the staff period) I’m picky about everything. 5 STAR DOES NOT EVEN START TO TELL YOU HOW GOOD THIS PUD/FINE DINNING ESTABLISHMENT IS. I am staying at the Richmond hill hotel for 6 weeks, will be drank, eating and enjoyed this wonderful British classic at least 4 night a week each week and every week! Don’t waste your time with other places. This is the only one you will need. Look out for Charlotte (Killer old fashioned)! Ailise! Mark! Izzy! ❤️❤️❤️

Awful food, rude staff, booked dining then was told on arrival that it was bar service only with very long queues, cold food, no taste, rude and unhelpful staff. Don't bother going here ,waste of money!!

What a great pub with amazing views. The pub has so much character and charm. The food and the staff were excellent. The only thing I'd say is please don't overstretch them. They did an amazing job but today was so busy. They really could have done with a couple of extra pairs of hands to cope with the Sunday lunch rush. Business was lost due to the level of demand whilst the staff did their absolute best.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch to celebrate our eldest daughter’s 30th birthday. Thanks to Mark for looking after us so well.

Nice pub in a good location. I went there over the weekend and even tho I expected it to be busy I felt like the staff weren't prepared for the business. They were definitely short staffed and everything took so long, table cleaning, drinks, food. We ordered burgers alongside some other bits and the beef patty was super well done to a point of chewy and you could taste the burned meat on every bite. I get it that the weekends are more difficult for the kitchen and bar staff in general which is why I wasn't bothered about the wait times but if I’m paying £17 for a burger I would expect it to at least not be burned which unfortunately is what all of our burgers were.

Had a fantastic time at The Roebuck! The food was delicious and perfectly cooked, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Mark, the assistant manager, provided excellent service—attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back!

Lovely view and lovely cosy interior, but we paid a whopping £23 for 2 standard pints and a small portion of nuts, making it the most expensive pint I’ve had. They also were understaffed which seemed stressful for the bartenders (and meant we were queuing a while). We left after one drink for a more reasonably-priced pub.

The pub is really nice with an amazing view on the Thames River, inside the pub is pretty and cozy unfortunately I found the quality of the food mediocre. It took 45 minutes to eat, the bring us the startes with the main : the French fries were small, cold and dry. The beef pie was ok but a bit cold… maybe was the day but for 50pound you should at least eat good . It’s a shame

1 hr and 15 minutes waiting for a lunch main course, at lunchtime?? We hadn't ordered starters. Very disappointed. And when we asked the waiting times for dessert we were told 45 mins to 1 hour, so we left. This pub is in a lovely setting, very nice staff, lovely atmosphere - but really, sort the kitchen out. I will be returning, of course, as I want it to be good and successful.

I have been to the Roebuck many times in the past and it has always been a lovely pub and great food in the restaurant. However I went last Sunday 29 December and was very disappointed. We had the Sunday roasts and were given a tiny bowl of vegetables between us, most of which were inedible as they weren’t cooked enough. The parsnips were practically raw and the roast potatoes were either too hard or more like boiled potatoes. We complained to the waitress who apologised but didn’t offer us anything in recompense. It’s a shame as this was always one of our favourite places to go.

Been a customer for many years, loved taking my drinks across the road to enjoy the fabulous view of the river. Just don't understand how any self respecting pub can decide not to serve any crisps.

Xmas meetup, very pleasant atmosphere. Over £7 a pint though

Good spot, unfortunately it was a foggy day so we couldn’t appreciate the views. Food was quite good though portion sizes were on the small size and the selection was limited, especially for vegetarians. Service though was so slow. The staff were polite, but we were pretty much ignored and left after 2.5 hours without dessert despite asking for the menu three times.

Beautiful pub with gorgeous views, but food service poor and food, unless it’s finished by 7:30pm, comes out an hour later

I have been here numerous times before refurbishment and the Sunday roasts were amazing. This was our first visit in a long while and couldn’t believe the difference. I had the nut wellington and my friend the pork. She did not have a Yorkshire pudding with hers which is standard for a Sunday roast. I did but it was hard. The biggest disappointment was the vegetables however. We got a tiny bowl between us which wouldn’t have been great for 1 let alone 2. It had a couple of tablespoons of cabbage , 4 bits of oats it and 3 carrots. What was worse is that the parsnips and carrots were practically raw and do the parsnips were inedible. The potatoes looked more like boiled than roast. We mentioned it to the waitress who was quite rise interested. It was one of the more expensive pub roasts at £20 per head. There was no cauliflower or broccoli again big standard. At best mediocre. At worse a rip off. So disappointed. It’s a lovely pub with great location and previously was great

This is a lovely pub with fantastic views. The food is also good and relatively reasonably priced. What let's it down is the service - very slow and inattentive. We waited over an hour for starters, which only came out once we had followed up and ended up going to the bar downstairs to get drinks as no one had served our table for over 45 mins. Would recommend for the food but need more waiting staff in the dining room upstairs as the staff are too overwhelmed.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this pub for some time now, as it’s a place I usually enjoy visiting. However, my recent experience left me deeply disappointed. I ordered fish and chips, a dish I’ve had here before and always loved. This time, though, the fish was served cold, and the quality was far below what I’ve come to expect. It wasn’t just lukewarm—it was cold enough to suggest it hadn’t been freshly prepared or reheated properly. It was really disheartening because this dish has always been a highlight of my visits. What made the experience worse was how the situation was handled. I mentioned the issue to the staff, expecting some kind of resolution, whether that be a replacement dish, an apology, or even just an acknowledgment of the problem. Instead, I was met with indifference. There was no effort to make things right or even check on the situation further. In the past, the pub manager always went above and beyond to ensure a great experience for customers. I learned during this visit that the manager I trusted and appreciated is no longer working there, and it’s clear the level of care has drastically declined since their departure. It felt like the staff didn’t have the same standards or training to handle customer concerns. Feeling frustrated and undervalued, I decided to just pay the bill and leave. As someone who has always supported this pub, walking out disappointed like that was a tough decision. I genuinely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the drop in quality and service. This used to be one of my favorite places to eat, but after this experience, I’m uncertain if I’ll return anytime soon

Fantastic Christmas lunch and experience all round. Bianca’s service and care throughout the day was second to none. Outstanding pub and great food!

Been here many times, as locals, during peak season, but walked on Christmas Day, with no signs on door indicating otherwise, to find that they’re no longer willing to serve a couple of drinks.

The best and I emphasis the best pub in Richmond hill with stunning view

The service was very nice and lovely atmosphere

My family had a great night at the Roebuck, food was great, service was excellent- especially from our server Beyoncé.

Amazing service at the Roebuck. Thanks Beyonce for looking after us so we'll!

Beyoncé’s service in the Roebuck was fabulous. Her very warm nature, smile and care made me feel very welcome, thank you Beyoncé. My turkey roast was delicious!

Food was amazing, excellent environment and god service from Beyoncé!!

Fantastic service from Beyoncé. Very polite and nothing was too much trouble. We will come back

Beyoncé was fantastic - very friendly and great advice about food and drink. Highly reccomend this place

Great Christmas mean and thanks to Beyoncé

Food and drinks were amazing. The service from Beyoncé was amazing. Such a lovely and friendly energy from her through the whole evening

We came here for a bite to eat around lunch time after a long walk. Saw the home made sausage roll and opted for that with proper chips, sticky toffee pudding and cups of tea. The sausage roll was the best. It had nduja spice in it, which gave it a kick and the taste was on another level. The sticky toffee pudding had a salted caramel glaze on it which gave it another dimension. Service was great but would be better with a bit more attention to detail - cutlery with food would nice and sugar with the tea. Definitely would recommend and visit again to try other things on their menu.

Absolutely delicious every time I’ve been and the service has always been top notch. Truly a gem of a pub in Richmond.

Went out of our way to make a trip here as it looked great, but we were left really dissapointed by the service. There were only 2 members of staff, and despite no one else being at the bar, they both didnt serve us. We asked the first man for some drinks, who im assuming was the manager, and halfway through the order he walked off. When he came back he asked his colleague to serve us but she said she was too busy, at which point they started quietly bickering. He begrudgingly served us and wasn't friendly at all. It made us feel pretty uncomfortable, which was a shame as the pub itself is very nice and the view is incredible. We left feeling pretty dissapointed by what could have been a great trip.

Favourite pub in London. Great food, great Guinness and the best roast potatoes I have had in the uk. Bianca and her mum and the rest of the team always look after us.

Beyoncé was polite professional and on the ball felt very welcomed !

we wanted a booking for my boyfriends birthday and Beyonce was so helpful sorting us out with a table and our request, food was unreal, we had a window seat with the great food. highly recommend

Beyoncé was the best bartender I’ve ever come across. Her smile was stunning and her manner was endearing. Dream experience. Love Harrie and Emma x

Had an absolutely fantastic experience at the Roebuck all thanks to the wonderful Beyoncé. She made my friend’s birthday that little bit more special with her excellent service and friendly demeanour. 10/10. Thank you Beyoncé!

Had a really lovely birthday dinner, we came in hoping for a walk in booking, and Beyonce made sure we had a table for 7 of us on a friday night, and looked after us all evening! Thank you Beyonce for taking such great care of our group!

Beyoncé was absolutely great!! Would definitely come back again.

Had a fantastic time here for a meal for my mate’s 50th birthday. Beyoncé looked after us with care and made sure EVERY one of our needs was accounted for. Will certainly be visiting again!

Omg Beyonce!!! Made our night at the Roebuck pub! Lovely service with a smile. And Joe!!! King of the pull! Many thanks for a wonderful experience!

Lovely cosy pub for after a walk in Richmond park, and fantastic service by the lovely Beyonce :)

Such a cute little spot! Food & cocktails were delicious, and service was great. Beyonce was so lovely & so helpful. Will be back!

Great pub & location. Very cozy, real fire, lovely interior. Proper old school pub that actually doesn't feel like a Greene King at all. Our waitress Beyonce was very lovely and efficient- and particularly attentive to me being on crutches at the time. Will definitely be back!

We had a great time at The Roebuck, beers are great and they even have some delicious slightly different bar snacks. Beyonce was great!!

Atmosphere inside and the view outside were really nice. We enjoyed our beer 🍻 and chips.

Delicious dinner! The steak & raclette pie was amazing! We received 10/10 service from Beyoncé who was super attentive, really great with my friends child too! Can’t wait to come back!

We had an amazing time here ! The atmosphere in the venue was 10/10 and the service was even better. Had the pleasure of meeting and being served by Beyoncé who was just incredible. Definitely will return to enjoy another round, thank you for the hospitality 🥂

Had a lovely lunch today upstairs, excellent service from our waitress Poppy. Will definitely return!

Excellent service from Beyoncé and Bianca. Delicious roast and cosy atmosphere.

Beautiful pub with amazing views. Wonderful roast, very fresh and flavourful!! Chef knows his meat. Only bad thing was the service; very very slow considering upstairs dining was more of less empty. Had to wait 15 minutes to order, ask for the drinks twice, and had to find someone to pay as was waiting so long with the bill.

Beyoncé and Bianca were brilliant . Great service. Great food.

Beyoncé, Bianca and Poppy were excellent and attentive.

Beautiful place, with a great team and great vibe too! Special mention to Beyonce and Bianca who were amazing ! Well definitely come back !

Bianca and Beyonce served us and they were adorable ! Such a nice and cozy place to enjoy some great food ! I recomand this place !

We got serviced by Beyonce & she was absolutely amazing! The restaurant and bar were so busy but Beyonce made sure we were okay and service unmatched. Thank you for such a fun visit - we’ll be back!!

Biannca and Beyonce gave excellent service, we had a fabulous night, thank you

Biannca, Tony and Beyoncé are the nicest and kind persons ever.

Great service and food. Brilliant service by Tony, Biancca and Beyoncé. Credit to the restaurant.

We had a great night at Roebuck, we were served by Beyoncé and Biannca, they were absolute superstars and made us feel welcomed and well looked after. Food and atmosphere were great too. 10/10 would recommend

Very good service and nice atmosphere, especially Blanca and Beyonce 😁

Really a great experience. In town for a few days and the taxi driver recommended the Roebuck. The food was amazing and much better than your average pub fare, don't hesitate to bring the wife. Beyonce was a pleasure and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Love the Roe Buck, gorgeous in the summer for a pint to sit with the views or winter to get cosy with great food and festive evening vibes. Beyoncé our server was very welcoming, super friendly, and attentive. Great service with a smile and fab ole pub

Beyoncé was really nice to us!!

Excellent service and atmosphere. Beyoncé was especially nice and went above and beyond for us.

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Pet friendly, but no dogs allowed upstairs!

Great views of the river, however, it was freezing cold as the CH wasn't working. Staff told me they asked Greene King to get someone to fix it, but no one turned up.

Good good, cozy pub and friendly service. Thank you to Beyonce, Thea and Poppy for a good and friendly service.

Very cosy pub, great food and drinks. We were served by Beyoncé - wonderful friendly service!

Beyoncé, Thea & Poppy were so wonderful! Service was great, food wonderful and atmosphere amazing. Highly recommend!

Thea, Beyoncé and Poppy were a pleasure to be served by.

This place is fantastic and the kitchen is as strong as the reviews. Service too. Thea, Poppy and Beyoncé were a dream team who were very attentive, friendly and charming. We shall be back! Thanks

Good food. Very friendly staff, Poppy Beyoncé and Thea were awesome.

Poppy, Beyonce & Thea couldn't have done more to make our evening magical.

Our experience tonight was fantastic, our waitress Poppy was fantastic, very attentive, couldn’t be more helpful, very polite and had a lovely smile! The food was delicious- I highly recommend the mussels! A lovely end to our last night in Richmond! Thank you.

Good food and great service, thank you Poppy, Bryonce and Thea.

This pub is just what you want for a place around the corner, a testament to a culture of hospitality. Beyoncé, Poppy, Thea in particular are wonderful, just what we needed to boost the morale after a long day of travel. Highly recommended. Thank you!
