St Margaret's Tavern in Richmond upon Thames

Best pub in st Margaret’s. Come after the train or before the big game. Ask for Adam. Quickest hands in Richmond. Pint is ready before you walk in !

What a pleasant surprise to discover this gem. Inviting deco, charming garden on a sunny day and the steak and ale pie was well made even though the cabbage was blanched but not char-grilled as written on the menu. Prices are reasonable compared to Richmond.

I came in on Monday 12/05/2025 with a friend as I was recommended by a friend I ordered some chips and I was very disappointed on the amount that was brought out to me. I will not be coming back to the pub again as I thought it was well out of order to purchase chips which was only 7 in a bowl for price it was... I would not recommend this pub to anyone that would like a light snack as you don't get what you are expecting Absolute ridiculous and unfair.......

£4.55 for half a pint of concentrated orange juice from a CARTON??? My half pint of bitter was £3.10... Please explain.......

Nice lunch there today, in the sun, on the patio. A single staff member out front, Brendan, working the bar, taking the orders, delivering the food and clearing the tables - even though he was on his own during our visit, he remained cheerful and pleasant throughout, and worked very efficiently. Well done Brendan! Hopefully management recognise they have a star there.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. I visited this place recently and had a good time and chat with a Ukrainian very welcoming guy. The place is also very clean and tidy. I will definitely recommend it to others.

Great vibes with mouth-watering food and beer!

Ok I love the Maggie, as it's known - but lately some atmosphere has gone but service and food is still good in the heart of St Margarets

Had a lovely evening at the tavern and was served at the bar by ihor who was very friendly and welcoming

I can say it’s like my second home. Especially at the bar, Ihor is extremely friendly and truly passionate about his work. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Pub looks incredible after their recent refurbishment. Great food and exceptional service.

One of the best pub in st margrets

Ihor an Veronica are awesome, best pub in St Ms!

Great pub, with so much space and a beautiful garden. Spacious with a cosy feel. Thanks to Ihor and Veronica - working behind the bar - for being so friendly and brilliant!

Great friendly service from Ihor

Ihor and Sam were lovely they were very nice to me and I would definitely recommend coming here for drinks and food because it is very good

lovely pub, great atmosphere and Ihor and sam were lovely. great dart board too

Great service from Ihor, friendly, attentive and welcoming. Will definitely come back for Sunday.

Can't cook a steak!! Asked for rare but got well done and then gave me a stone cold almost raw replacement. Also the Korean burger was bland.

Came to this place last Sunday with my daughters and their husbands to celebrate Mother’s Day. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and the staff in this place. Got served our drinks by Igor and Brandon, they very very chill with everything and been doing our drinks swiftly but perfectly even tho there have been a large queue waiting to order. Anyways we had a great experience in this place potentially we will be coming here more often.

friendly staff and the garden is great - well lit and kept tidy!

Great service and great drinks!

Excellent pub and friendly staff! Loved the drinks

Lovely pub with a stunning garden! Ihor was incredible

Great experience, great staff and great Victoria was great

Usually love St Margaret’s Tavern, but going on Mother’s Day was a complete let down. I’d booked a table for three for the “Dining Room & Table Service” (it specifies this on the booking) and we arrived at 1pm to an empty pub and a table reserved in the bar area. I asked if we could move to the dining room and was told to have a look around and if I could find a table without a reservation we could sit there - bearing in mind some of the tables were reserved for the evening. It was only when I showed my booking confirmation that a reluctant effort was made to accommodate the booking. The service was pretty non-existent with us having to always ask a member of staff as they walked by to take our order and the roast dinner (particularly the beef) was poor with no condiments offered. I’m not sure if the staff were annoyed we’d asked to move or there just weren’t enough on duty. Probably all very much first world problems, but for a pub that we’ve always enjoyed going to and with it being Mother’s Day, it was a disappointment.

This popular pub in the area is a great place to go. The food was okay, but the Sunday roast was really good. The service was excellent and attentive.

First visit to Budapest and we stopped off at Margaret’s for some dinner and drinks. Served by Stella who was lovely and very attentive. Gave some local food recommendations. Food was lovely, the pink gin was delightful along with the garnish and hubby enjoyed the beer. The background music and atmosphere perfect and the setting by the river Danube at night just topped it off. We had two mains, two sides, two beers, and a gin and lemonade - 28, 717ft (including service charge). Equivalent of £65. Would def recommend.

Visitó este lugar hace unos días y fue servido por Ihor. El servicio increíble del camarero, se preocupó por nosotros como una parte de la familia, y la comida era absolutamente fantástico, me encantó en pedazos. Lo calificaría con un sólido 10 / 10 sin embargo los baños eran un poco sucios, de todos modos la experiencia en este pub fue increíble.

Top notch service from Louie and Sam. Had a great night here - would thoroughly recommend! Will be back

Last night at the pub was one of those perfect, easygoing evenings. The place had a warm, welcoming buzz, and our waiter, Ihor, made the experience even better. From the moment we sat down, Ihor was all smiles—friendly, quick-witted, and always there when we needed him. He recommended a local craft beer, which turned out to be the best drink of the night. When we struggled to pick something off the menu, he gave us his top picks, and he was spot on—the steak was cooked to perfection, and the fish and chips were crispy and golden. Despite the pub being packed, Ihor never seemed rushed. He checked in just enough to make sure we were happy, but never interrupted a good conversation. When one of our friends accidentally knocked over a drink, he handled it with a laugh and had a fresh one on the table before we could even apologize. By the end of the night, we all agreed—great food, great drinks, and thanks to Ihor, some of the best service we’d had in a long time. We'll definitely be coming back!

Popped into the st Margarets tavern today and come across new barmen Lewie and Sam, and great prompt service was achieved...satisfied when I left.

Really great place to stop for a beer. Stella was lovely. Will definitely come back.

Really good local pub serving nice food. The draw card here is the space and all the beautiful polished wood. This pub could only be in London.

We were served by Victoria who was incredibly friendly and provided great service. Drinks were well priced and really well kept :)

First class service from Stella, she was good fun and took the Irish banter in her stride. Food was amazing, with a massive selection.

When I’m in St. Margaret this pub is my to go pub,I really love this place. I love how professional and friendly the staff are and I love how welcoming the place is. Food and drinks are always on top and never disappoints. On some occasion I had the chance to speak to the manager Glenda (I think) and she was very friendly and helpful. Definitely this place is a 100/10!!!!

Lovely friendly attentive staff. Great choice of menu, lovely food and beer.

Been a few times and love this place . Great beer , very good IPAs . Food is really well cooked and menu huge . Right on Tram 4 and 6 round Körút so dead easy to get to and then back to Buda after to party after . We are a couple but recommend for early doors parties as well . Brits will love it . Hopefully gets busier as we live local . Our waitress Victoria was really nice and looked after us

Muy buena comida. Atención al cliente agradable y amable. Ambiente maravilloso. Yo volveré. Recomiendo a todos. Me encanta el lugar

Good food and drinks. Stella our server was lovely, had great knowledge of beers and wine and made it a really enjoyable experience for us !!!

We were there for lunch on Monday and it was honestly the best place for food and drinks we have been to in a while. We were served by Ihor and Brenden and they were really nice and suggested us a few items from the menu and they were on point with their choice. Would really recommend coming here for good food and great vibes.

Been here with my brother today and decided to get Sunday roast and a duck hash. It was genuinely incredible especially nut roast, loved it, everything was good except the Yorkshire pudding as it was a „little dry“ but overall food was great. Also we’ve been served by Brendon and Igor and they made sure we were satisfied with both service and atmosphere. Overall I’d say this place deserves a solid rating of 8.4-9/10. would genuinely recommend this place for both friends and family meetings

Best pub that I have been to in a while. The staff was really lovely specially Ihor and Brandon have been lovely and the Sunday beef roast was the best. Would definitely recommend coming here to enjoy good food and drinks.

Nice place to eat lunch staff friendly and very good english so understood our dietary requirements. Highly recommend if you want a pub atmosphere and good food

Came here on Saturday evening as a first night in Budapest. The service is fantastic and the food is phenomenal. Special shout out to Tyler, providing service with a smile and a warm welcome. A great band on with familiar songs and fabulous atmosphere. Would definitely recommend..

Well kept beer, shows sport, food is below average.

Restaurant was nice and pleasant. Food was good, although the cracklings were soggy. The Waitress Reka was friendly

Fabuloso servicio de Ihor y Dan. Disfrutamos de la comida con mis amigos y los precios no eran muy duros. Me encantó la estética del pub y todo el ambiente. Sin embargo, la comida no era un grandioso lo calificaría como 7 / 10 ya que estaba un poco seco - ish, pero en general lo disfruté

Almuerzo del domingo. Buena opción en el menú. Gran servicio. Equipo amistoso. Un entorno agradable. Somos bastante locales esto era un elemento básico hace unos años - pero no han vuelto por un tiempo. Realmente disfrutamos de nuestro almuerzo y seguramente volveremos pronto.

This place is amazing! Such a sparkling gem on the outskirts of Richmond. Amazing staff and amazing pub Manager who made herself known and available for conversation! 5 starts all over!!

Muy agradable servicio y personal amable. Me encantan los sofás junto a la chimenea. ¿Habría sido increíble si estuviera encendido? Gracias de nuevo Brandon & Maisie.

El mejor lugar para una noche acogedora y para una gran noche. El personal para ser específicos Glenda, Ihor, Maisie y Brandon eran muy encantadores. Y la comida es increíble. Sin duda recomendaría venir aquí y disfrutar de una amplia gama de bebidas y comida

Great for sporting events, food a bit slow coming out even when it wasn't busy we had to ask where the food was but generally like the atmosphere and location. UPDATE Nov 2024 - Popped in to watch an autumn international rugby game on the TV and it was a whopping £7.80 a pint, possible rugby day mark up with England playing at home but surely remove it for locals on production of a Richmond card or proof of address. It's put me off going there and I've been doing it for years on rugby days.

Lovely staff, great pub grub and a wonderful space to catch up with friends. A special shout out to the tall blond lad behind the bar who was so attentive and friendly when we visited between Christmas and New Years.

It's beautiful. I would love this to be closer to where I live. Staff were ok but could be friendlier.

What a great pub! We held our Christmas party there for around 40 people and it was a great success on every level.

It was a great experience. The staff was really lovely, specially Glenda, Adam and Brandon they were brilliant

Love this pub! Proper local - food is good, great selection of drinks and the staff are amazing (esp Maisie, Brandon, Dan, Sam, Ihor, Weronika and GM Glenda). Cannot recommend enough!

Food was lovely, so tasty. Service excellent from Maisie and Ihor. Will definitely be back next time we visit London

Just had beer great place to go food looked good

Increíblemente este pub pidió identificación para mi hija a pesar de que solo queríamos una comida con amigos. Tuvimos que irnos para encontrar un lugar alternativo. El pub dice que es familiar, pero claramente no lo es. Tal vez esto es sólo cuando les conviene. No estoy seguro de que alguna vez me hayan dejado de comer en un pub con mis hijos. Esta es la primera vez. Bien hecho. No volveré.

Nunca antes en la historia de asistir a eventos deportivos hemos pagado más por cerveza en un pub de lo que costaba en el suelo. Viendo el "ambiente" en la calle M antes del partido en Twickenham pagamos el precio AUMENTADO POR EL PARTIDO para Guinness. Somos de Shropshire así que no estamos familiarizados con los precios de Londres. Sorprendido en el suelo donde el Guinness era más barato. ¡No volveré a visitar un pub Greene King favorito!

The perfect pre rugby venue! Superb staff working so hard! Great drinks and food!

Hoy fuimos a StMargrets Tavern antes del rugby , realmente sorprendidos de que pudiéramos conseguir una mesa para el almuerzo . Pedí comida. Había 2 camareras cubriendo todo el lugar. Después de 1 hora y sin comida nos fuimos. Algo ha cambiado en el pub, mal servicio no hay barbacoa exterior para la gente que asiste al rugby.

Absolutely amazing pub, been going since 2010 and it’s feels just as welcoming as ever! Lovely food and good selection of drinks!

It’s truly a shame to see what has happened to what was once a great local. Last night's experience was incredibly disappointing. Made to look like an idiot and was completely neglected. Thoroughly ruined my Friday night. The atmosphere, which used to feel warm and welcoming, now completely uninviting. Additionally, I can’t help but notice the suspiciously positive reviews below. They simply don’t reflect the reality of my experience, leading me to believe they might not be genuine. It’s disheartening to see a pub I used to love deteriorate in such a way.

Very gut, i love this place, gut service

The best place in the world - :)

I was in St. Margaret's Tavern when visiting the area and I must say it was a really pleasant experience. The pub has a very pleasant atmosphere - traditional, cozy decor that gives it character. The perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The staff is very nice and helpful. The service was quick and waitresses and waiters always ready to help. The menu offers a wide selection of dishes and drinks - from classic pub dishes to more sophisticated options. I especially recommend the fish and chips and homemade burgers - they were delicious and fresh. It is also worth mentioning the wide selection of beers, both local and imported, which means you can find something for yourself, regardless of your preferences. Location St. Margaret's Tavern is also a plus - easy access to the city center, so it's a great place to rest after walking. I definitely recommend this place to both people looking for relaxation and those who want to try traditional pub cuisine in a nice atmosphere.

The best pub ever. Super friendly service, British atmosphere, delicious food.

I recommend it to everyone ☺️ the food is delicious, the service is very nice, the atmosphere is simply divine 😁😁😁😁 I will definitely go there again ☺️

Great place I visited thanks to an invitation from friends! We parked our cars in a large parking area, so finding a spot was no problem. Inside, the decor was really interesting and made a great impression right away. The staff took care of us quickly – very friendly and professional. The dishes were truly delicious, well-seasoned, and everything was top-notch. An extra bonus is that you can watch a live football match – the perfect spot for an evening out with friends! I’ll definitely be back, even if just for a beer 🍻😁👍

Opted for the Sunday roast. Beef was a little tough, but food was lovely overall. Good roast potatoes, which is a rare find. Service was a bit slow, but waitress was friendly and helpful. If it wasn't for these few of issues, I would have given 5 stars.

We had our son's birthday party there. When I arrived, the venue was arranged precisely as I had wanted it. The staff was very helpful and friendly throughout. We had a magician/entertainer for the children, and the kids had enough space for all activities while parents were chatting around them. The kids' food was excellent. I highly recommend this Tavern.

We ate burgers and were very disappointed. The menu looked appealing, but the reality was very different. The food was cold, the meat was dry, and there were almost no ingredients we had ordered. We had to wait a long time, and the table service was very slow and disorganized.

Nice large pub, snack food was tasty.

This a great pub with a massive seating area and very friendly staff. The Guinness tasted excellent :-)

Just popped in for a drink and a snack, for 3 of us, perfect setting nice place. We where in the main bar but there is a large dining area looks very suitable for families.

El pub es encantador, el servicio es amable, pero el servicio de comida y comida es decepcionante. Muchos otros pubs en el área local que ofrecen mucho mejor.

Great experience, service very good and food lovely. Will definitely come back again.

Lovely food, good service. Chef on Sunday was very kind, 5* would highly recommend roast on Sunday.

Hermoso pub pero la comida es mediocre y cierran la cocina cuando les apetece. Buena selección de cerveza, el personal es amable, pero el servicio es un poco lento, a menudo con poco personal

Great pub, great staff, great food. Best in St Margarets 👊🏻

Great food and service. Richard our waiter was so friendly. Def recommend

Great food and drink. Great service from Tyler and Richy

Balazs, our server, was very helpful, the food was amazing and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back again.

The food was lovely and the staff was friendly

Nice spot great choice of beers and Hungarian food . Stella our waitress was friendly and very helpful we wil come back

Family of four for late lunch. Huge menu with something for everyone including veggie options. All delicious and place is clean and well air conditioned. Thanks to our lovely waiter Richard.

I've been a regular here for months and it only now occurred to me to leave a review. My first time here I was met with a lovely employee named Ihor whom since, I've had some great conversations with. Together with the relaxing atmosphere it provides fantastic customer service and safe to say it never disappoints with the selection of drinks. 10/10 would recommend and if you're looking for a heartfelt conversation, seek my friend Ihor.

Incredible staff and good food. Love to use this place for family or friends events, very spacious and lovely place to hangout. The only drawback in here is that there aren’t enough dog bawls as 3-5 dog bawls isn’t enough for such huge pub, otherwise this pub is absolutely fabulous for me and my kids.

Really nice pub and food is excellent I had the duck and it was amazing

great place to hang out with friends! we were served by Ihor and he was lovely! highly recommend coming here

Great food, wide variety of choices. Richi and Máté served us this time. Very recommended!

The waiter call Franz was absolutely spot on! The food perfect and the staff members are very friendly. I'm really recommend

Richard served us today, he was very polite and had a great sense of humour. Richard went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed and took time to recommend drinks and dishes. The food was presented very well and very tasty.

Great 1st stop on our Budapest holiday, great service, great atmosphere, good music and the food was lovely. I do now have hairs on my chest from the Palinka, but we did get a complimentary water chaser to wash it down with 😅 Richard was our waiter and he was great, good sense of humour and very attentive. Didn't catch his name but the guy behind the bar was nice to look at aswell 😉.

Wonderful place to eat and relax, service was amazing!! Stella who served us made the evening very special 😀

Met a friend for a drink after a long time and this pub created the perfect atmosphere. Great selection of drinks, tasty food and outstanding service. Highly recommended.
