The Anglers, Teddington in Richmond upon Thames

Stopped here for a drink on a hot spring day. What a stunning place. The location was perfect and the set-up evoked a festival site. Just brilliant!

Booked an outside table for a birthday lunch for two. It was a lovely hot day so that was nice. Despite it being a busy Saturday our food order was taken swiftly and there was no wait at the bar for drinks. There seemed to be plenty of staff around (unlike many pubs/restaurants right now). The menu is mixed, with a good variety of small/large plates and sharers. My boyfriend had a decent cheese burger and I had the grilled prawns with a side of fries. The outside seating areas are lovely with a variety of seating options for different sized parties. A bonus for me was being able to plane spot as Teddington is under one of the Heathrow flight paths!

Lovely pub along the teddington lock with a generous amount of garden space and seats! Went there for lunch and they have a very affordable lunch menu/sandwich menu! The fish was battered and fried nicely and came with lots of dips by default! The fish finger ciabatta was also done really nicely!

We had a very disappointing experience at *The Anglers* in Teddington. We came for dinner and ordered the roast beef, but the meal was a complete letdown: the potatoes were hard and cold, the gravy had a very unpleasant taste, and the quality of the meat was extremely poor — tough, dry, and far from what you'd expect in a proper Sunday roast. The only decent part of the dish was the cauliflower cheese side. When we politely voiced our dissatisfaction while paying, the waitress simply turned her back and walked away mid-conversation, ignoring us entirely. Feeling dismissed, we decided to speak to the manager. Shockingly, his response was even ruder. Instead of being professional or understanding, he told us they had served over 250 customers that day and we were the *only* ones complaining — as if that somehow invalidated our experience. It’s worth noting that we did *not* refuse to pay. We had already paid the bill before making any comments. Our feedback was honest and respectful, yet we were met with sarcasm and arrogance. We will not be returning, and we cannot recommend this place to anyone. Bad food can sometimes happen — but disrespectful treatment of paying customers is completely unacceptable.

Lovely pub near the Thames with sunny beer garden.. make sure you book

Really nice place for a drink, plenty of outdoor seating, dog friendly. Didn't eat here, but the food I saw on other tables looked very nice.

Awful service and treatment - mostly the managers who treat women like scum. Went as a party of 18-22 year olds, ordered drinks and sat down - within 10 minutes a male staff member came out and told us to get out as they don’t serve under 21 year olds. This was false as we had all already been served. Despite asking politely we were made to leave without finishing our drinks. He offered us refunds but once inside refused and told everyone to leave. I cannot believe the way we were treated and reckon the staff would not treat a male or mixed group in this way. Will not be coming back - managers need to be reexamined as the bartenders were completely amicable.

Terrible how a pub can serve 18-22 year old girls, check their IDs and allow them to spend their money and kick them out for not being 21. The manager was terrible as he gave us dirty to go cups and proceeded to yell and treat us like children. Disgusting behaviour. I would not recommend this place to anyone and if you do go please be prepared to be mistreated

Superb setting, magnificent terrace, bar service with perfect welcome. The dishes are simple but very well prepared and quality meat. Excellent address away from London for a peaceful moment

Very nice pub and restaurant and very place

Really amazing pub with grewt food and great atmosphere. Gave lovely send off for my auntie kate

Great Pub, Good selection of beer, big garden area, along the rider, some water activity like stand up paddle. Kindle staff. Good food.

Service from the outside bar and shack was terrible and the staff were rude and clearly uninterested.

They don't need "your" business and it shows. Lovely venue, staff pleasant enough could have been amazing

Great location, mint tea and coffee are good, but sorbet is just so so, nothing special.

Great location and atmosphere. Food was very good. Busy as a result

Sat down on a table that was reserved for food only, we had a look at the menu and decided not to eat but to order drinks and carry on the evening. A staff member approached and explained that we were “taking the piss” because we hadn’t ordered food and only drinks. I understand that certain tables given the early summer heat are reserved for food which is fair enough but do not expect to be treated with such disrespect when we are still spending money on drinks which are nearly as expensive as the food

I wish I knew the name of that male bartender, you have to promote him, he had a female manager that was so rude to him but he still had such a nice attitude - proper british - even when the lady manager talked down to him he was unphased and focussed on delivering great customer service. I would give this man a job in my company.

Last Friday (04/04/25) I visited The Anglers with friends who are Fuller’s employees from another site, we were shocked and disappointed by the treatment we received at this location. We came in hoping to use their Fuller’s indulgence cards, something they do routinely as part of the company, and were instead refused service entirely after an hour of being there because we were apparently 'taking the piss' using the cards and ultimately kicked out of the pub. This card is a perk for working at Fuller's and can be shared with friend's and family. The manager on duty who refused us, who we believe was named Guillem, was unnecessarily rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. As a group of 10, we were planning to put through a large food order and carry on drinking there for the rest of the evening, so the pub missed out on a significant amount of business. We expected at least a baseline level of respect, especially as they are colleagues within the same company, but were met instead with hostility and poor customer service. This experience was both embarrassing and unacceptable.

Lovely , large outdoor dining area (as well as indoor). Delicious food if a tad expensive. Very limited parking at front of building.

The new supervisor there is providing a terrible service.

We came here for a friends birthday, it was an incredibly busy day. The bar tender Danny made the entire night for us. Despite an incredibly busy bar he served with a smile and no ask was inconvenient. Wouldn’t defiantly come again.

Nothing to fault really, great food, great outdoor space. Good cycle parking.

Overpriced and very misleading menu for lunch. Tiny portions too.

This is my local pub but so unhappy with the service today. Pub indoors is completely empty and the lady here will stop the barman take orders from me. Tempremental bar staff. I had 20 mnites whilst barmen making hot drinks where I can share table no many times and save them time.

Had a loveley last-minute meal with my daughter on my 50th birthday. I am also looking forward to kayaking in the summer, starting and finishing at the anglers when I get the chance, and now.and again.meeting my daughter and her friends on their paddle boards, great location, staff, garden and food, highly recommended 👍🦇🤠🌙

Came for a meal and drink. It was packed (mothers day, all mothers out with their families no doubt), and we were told "no tables, but you can order a drink in the bar and hope for the best later". We went to the bar, and stood in line for 30 minutes. As it was our turn, the bar staff said "sorry you have to order from the other queue", pointing to the left. Where there were at least 20 people before us trying to get served. Why couldn´t he say that way before? It was said in a very rude way, but I guess it is because he was stressed. I get it. But he clearly saw us waiting. I get it, it was stressful but there was absolutely no structure to the serving. We didn´t want to wait another half hour so we just left. Very annoying experience and I doubt we will be back, at least not when there are loads of people there.

Awful service. Was waiting at the bar when the 'manager' came over and told the bar staff to "concentrate on tickets". This was a complete joke and showed a complete lack of care for the patrons waiting at the bar. There were plenty of teenage staff running about everywhere, but the bar was understaffed. It's become a horribly corporate and unwelcoming place.

Great quiz night on Wednesday night

We just popped in for coffee, and I feel the need to update my previous review. The staff's behavior seemed to have changed, and unfortunately, I didn't feel they were as welcoming or friendly towards customers this time

Stayed at the Lensbury in Broome road, the lunch menu was poor, and couldnt supply gluten free options. so went to The Anglers friendly staff. Reasonably priced for London. food well presented and hot and gluten free options

A great British pub but lots of foreign staff

We went to Anglers today for breakfast with our friends, a place we have always loved. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Cold and overcooked eggs, poorly cooked bacon, and staff with an unpleasant attitude. One of the waiters rudely warned us just because our puppy peed in a corner outside near a planter. But the worst part was when we tried to express our concerns—they cut us off mid-sentence with a quick “sorry” and turned their back on us. We invited our friends here thinking it would be a great experience, but instead, we had a terrible morning. It’s truly sad to see a place we’ve enjoyed for years decline like this.

Lovely situation, but £8.45 for a short pint of steady rolling man is a bit much. The request to top it up a bit was met with the response 'it's a pint....'

A busy, vibey Fullers pub with large outside space next to the Thames. Some parking directly in front of the pub which is handy. Food pretty good.

Excellent pub by the river, great stop off during river walk. Also great service from outdoor waitress

Very nice pub, massive place with large indoor and outdoor areas. Went for a big family birthday 20 of us and the food was delicious. A bit on the pricey side but good quality and large portions.

Management don't respect their staff.

Very expensive and terrible management

Bar staff happily took in specs found on the towpath on the Surrey side of the Teddington lock footbridge. Coffee was good also 👍

Lovely surroundings, cosy, friendly atmosphere. Fantastic service and staff. Full English breakfast was value for money: Quality products, well presented, be hungry.

Lovely friendly pub, great service and breakfast was delicious 😋

Long black hair with fringe the lady working in pub very nice work customer service

We love this place. Great food, great beers, great surroundings.

Tried the curry night on Thursday. 3 main options (eg, chicken, lamb, veggie) with rice and side dish and drink for £25 per head. Delicious curries and enjoyed the sag aloo and tarka Dhal sides. Good service and good value. We went around 6.30, but it would be busier later.

Service was utterly abysmal. Every single twenty-something staff member was dour, sullen and scruffy, shuffling about as if they were all massively hungover and couldn't be bothered. The manager was pathologically unfriendly on arrival too. A Carrot Salad starter was completely off and inedible, we then waited 30 minutes for it to be replaced! The replacement was just as bad. Pasta was completely tasteless. The Beef was carbonised.Staff including management basica lly couldn't give a toss about their own service or producing even vaguely half decent food. Doesn't even deserve one star! Absolutely Atrocious! AVOID!! Zero FS were given by management post and email in addition.

It's great but staff are hit and miss!

Lovely pub on the Thames. We were stopping at the Lensbury next door and popped into the Anglers for breakfast. Great selection and variety on the menu. My son had a sausage brioche sandwich and really enjoyed it. Coffee was also really nice and well presented. Staff and service were great. Also thought it was reasonably priced for London too. Great atmosphere with different sections in the pub to sit. Nicely decorated, with a cool book shelf where you can choose and book and donate to charity. Would highly recommend a visit, would imagine it's also nice in the summer months.

Great selection of beer and an amazing garden !

Christmas Day at our favourite pub in Teddington was everything we’d hoped for! Cosy, festive, welcoming and the food and staff were amazing Thanks to The Angler’s’ for making Christmas Day a stress free and delicious experience

This pub is one of my favourite places to visit. What a treat to visit on Christmas Day and have all the stress taken away from the day. The staff were absolutely fabulous, super attentive, friendly even though they were very busy, and they made the day really special, the food was delicious and I LOVED not having to wash any dishes afterwards It's such a cosy pub, decorated beautifully and had such a lovely festive atmosphere 🎄

Sadly I have to write this review after the terrible Christmas Dinner that I had this year. We booked our table a few months ago at the Anglers which stated a Christmas feast. Unfortunately it was doomed from the start. Let’s start with the table, there were four of us and we were sat on two of the bar tables that were pushed together and couldn’t fit the glasses on let alone any side plates. There were no more tables available. It was ridiculous but we made do. There was not arrival drinks which I was shock about considering the price. The canapés were stale as they had clearly been the night before but the start was good. Now for the main event, the feast which consisted of 3 potatoes, uncooked Brussels sprouts, 2 parsnips 2 pigs in blankets and some turkey which was inedible. The turkey was so bad my dad had to ask if it was pork. None of us ate it and it all got set back. The meat was grey and dry. Desert was fine and cheese was ok although only had one type of cracker but we were so let down but the dinner. There was no pots of gravy, there were not exciting side dishes. I had a better Sunday roast the previous weekend in another pub for £20. The cost of this was £125 per head plus a book fee and service so before we sat down I paid £565, then we had two bottle of wine and some other drinks which £220 so £785 in total. I am disgusted that I paid this for poor food a terrible table and at this price you expect better. I do have to say the only blessing was the service was amazing. Our waitress was attentive and could see that we were a little frustrated from the start. But she was brilliant as were they others that served our table. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone, make it at home or by a microwave meal.

Worst Christmas Lunch Ever! While the turkey was decent, the rest of the meal was shocking—especially for £125 per person. When it turned up, I thought it was a kids meal it was that underwhelming, despite being advertised as "with all the trimmings." you are given raw roast potatoes, hard sprouts, roasted carrot and a parsnip, no yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, or additional vegetables made the experience feel like a bad Sunday roast at best rather than a festive feast. I was gobsmacked they would even serve this to paying guests as a Christmas meal ! Since you pay upfront, it seems like they just don’t care if it ruins your day. I even had to buy my mum lunch afterward because she was still hungry as could not be bothered to eat the "school dinner" they served up. Avoid at all costs if you want to enjoy your Christmas meal!

Could not have gone any better . Diana looked after us well last Friday. Well behaved group of Cardio Tennis legends enjoyed some well presented, tasty food in a warm cosy atmosphere. Well done Team. Much appreciated Brendan

Let down by portion sizes here and slow service I’m afraid. Overall good food can be found here but don’t expect much for your buck!!!

Came here as a group for a pre Christmas roast having previously thoroughly enjoyed the food. What a disappointment 😞 Our meals were compleatly underwhelming. Roasts arrived with chosen item in gravy on a plate the sides were brought separately. Nut roast was cold, meat was dry. Sides were sparse, we asked for more which was provided, after the "this is is the fullers portion size" talk which seemed well rehearsed, but one cauliflower cheese between five? Vegetables and yorkshires pudds were unseasoned, potatoes were dried out, as if they had been sitting around for a while. Cauliflower cheese was watery, boiled tepid cabbage. Salt, butter and some love would have gone a long way. The venue is not budget £4 for a lemonade and that feels like what we got, aunt Bessie's or something from cook would have been significantly better. I was surprised to see a chef putting their name to the menu, I would be reluctant to serve what we received from a home kitchen. Anglers seem to be coasting on a strong historic culinary reputation, definatly not one of the best roasts in London. Lovely setting, ambiance and good service shame about the food.

Great roast. A better experience than last year. They have upped their game. Recommended!

Fantastic venue, lovely pub and garden, dog friendly. Amazing drinks, food and service. Perfect.

Nice family friendly pub close to the river. Particularly good if you have kids of 4-8 years of age as they have an arts and crafts table from 3pm on a Sunday to keep them occupied whilst you enjoy your lunch

This is a large Fullers pub with a big garden. I went there to watch a rugby international match which was being shown on a big screen in a marquee which was laid out with tables and chairs. Good venue, great beers and excellent service. We didn't eat so can't comment on the food but plenty of people eating and what was being served looked good.

Large pub Bright clean with lot's of seating and a great selection of beer 5 or 6 hand pump's ,but over £6 a pint for ale.

Sunday roast was delicious. Great sized portion and plenty of sides. Lovely atmosphere and staff were extremely helpful and friendly

We have come here for years, since back in the days in 2009 when this was a lovely little pub. Also in 2023 we've been here multiple times for food and drinks. But I have to say: today's experience was absolutely shocking. Whilst the service was friendly and the atmosphere was great, the food is so far off the standards. It's getting worse and worse unfortunately whereas pricing keep going up! A pint of beer for £9? Okay, it's London... but still. Much worse was actually the food. Look at the photo attached: the price for this "burger" was £18.95. Can you believe this? And much worse than that: it consists only out of 3 ingredients: a cheap white roll, a patty, some penny-worth iceberg lettuce. That's it. Apparently there was cheese on it, but we couldn't find it. No tomato, no sauce, just simply NOTHING. At McDonalds you pay £1 for it and at least get some gherkins, onions, proper cheese. This wasn't even the worst thing: The kids burger cost £8.95, which is probably half-way reasonable. But it was EXACTLY (like literally EXACTLY) the same burger with EXACTLY the same fries. Only difference: the fries where not placed in a copper cup for the kids, but placed on the plate directly. Same amount, same fries, same burger - but £10 cheaper. We asked the waitress and she kindly explained that there was no error, she went through the order again and admitted that she was also struggling to find any difference other than the fries not being put in a copper cup. We were 8 persons and noone of us won't come back. No way. I always loved The Anglers and have spend probably hundreds if not thousand Pounds here every year... It's a shame. If I was Fullers I would try to intervene here, as one of their best horses in the stall is going south and losing customers. Again, look at the photo! Additionally, this burger was so incredibly small. Everyone was left hungry, but with that disappointment we decided not to have pudding and to leave the restaurant. I have NEVER, NOWHERE paid £18.95 for a burger. Maybe I did once, but got like Wagyu beef, molten blue cheese, crispy onions, halloumi and whatnot on my patty.... at The Anglers? ==> Iceberg lettuce. PS: In all fairness: Atmosphere is great, service is great, drinks are great, location is great. But holy crap, what has happened to your food standards?!

Great location, good beer & food

Lovely place and very accomodating

Haven't been for a while but it was lovely to be back. Really nice refurb and staff were great

The service here was atrocious. The waiting staff were friendly but horrendously unorganised, half our food was missing and we had to keep going to the bar to chase up. By the time the sides arrived for our roast dinner, the roast dinner was cold. Some of the food never arrived, but we gave up asking. None of the staff apologised or took responsibility. A huge thank you to the kind ladies on the kids table though, they were fabulous with my 3 year old daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed herself!

I booked an outdoor table for myself and family. We were there to celebrate a milestone birthday. The service was beyond terrible. We had to order inside and two meals came twenty minutes before the others. We were missing multiple sides, we were neglected outside with no one to check how it was going. Even after requesting the missing items that came with the meal, the manager made a comment about usually charging extra (even though it was listed as part of the meal) They held no accountability for their lack of attention.

They have lamb Sunday roast! Good fit for autumn weather.

Celebrated my aunty's 90th birthday here. Great food and service on the pub by the river. Would go back again for a meal.

We just had our 2nd wedding day celebrations here and it was perfect. Jade and her team were great, super flexible and really lovely. We were running quite late for our lunch booking, ahead of the party we were throwing in the orchard area outside, and so they very kindly set us up a beautiful new table in the orchard for us and our family with no hassle. Jade was so welcoming, even getting us a wedding present to congratulate us, and her team were amazing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend this space and Jade’s team ☺️

Love this pub. My husband and I moved to Ham and walk across Teddington Lock. What a wonderful find. His family used to hang out here when they were young. Now we've been a few times ourselves. The food is really drinks. Good drink selection. Outside in the garden is plenty of space to sit, with a different food and drink menu. We also love all of the activities that they host and will go to as many as we can.

Very disappointed left waiting for our food for an hour, we only ordered bar snacks, no pre warning we would have to wait so long for food. Having asked at 40 mins and left further 20 mins still no food left with no option but to leave as food hadn’t arrived.

Booked a table for 7 people, but when we arrived the manager didn't seem to know about it and I was told we would have to vacate the table by 7 as there was a quiz night and they needed the table for that. Staff were noisy and appeared to be shouting orders to each other, not condusive to a pleasant meal experience. Food wasn't very hot, and was mediocre. Certainly won't be returning in a hurry.

A bit pricey but it's worth it for the river.

Five stars all around: excellent food, impecable service but specifically by the guy managing the outside area, lovely location by the river, canny fault it.

Friendly staff and good service. Nice garden area beside the Thames.

I travelled across London to go to a fullers pub serving beautiful fullers beers on drought but was rewarded with crap generic lagers instead, what a disappointment.

Just paid £9.50 for 5 chicken wings. The staff should be wearing masks as I’ve just been robbed. The rest of the place is pretty good though.

Always a great time had at this pub. The food is extremely tasty these days. Will be back again soon

Lovely riverside pub to stop at. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. We were given plastic pint glasses (despite everyone around us having glass) which was a shame and the loaded fries were quite expensive given the portion size.

Nice location, staff are friendly and welcoming, but the prices are insane. Was charged £5.50 for a tiny portion of chips, which tasted ok but nothing special.

Perfectly located pub with massive garden space next to river 👌🏻

Really lovely, beautifully decorated, amazing location, delicious food and great service. Couldn't ask for more!

Courtyard is lovely and the pizza was good. However - there is an outside bar where the 2 barmen were not only rude, they massively under poured drinks by freehand. If you're going to free pour - cool! But these guys were just ripping everyone off and people got very upset. Their customer 'service' was why we left and went elsewhere. Really disappointing.

We had our wedding reception at the Anglers and the whole process was really thorough and organised. Jade was really great with any questions we had and requests. We were able to cater the food to our specific tastes and have a brilliant evening in our budget. The food service was prompt and the bartender assigned to us was really helpful and friendly. If you are looking for a cute little riverside venue to host a wedding reception on a budget - this place is a steal.

I recently attended the Opera in the Garden evening and it was very well planned and attended. Everyone had a clear view and the setting was perfect. The beer garden at The Anglers is well suited for performance. We were given a warm welcome, the service was smooth, and staff were very discreet whilst serving during the show. We both enjoyed our meals. Once the temperature cooled, staff brought around hot water bottles for those who wanted. A great experience of live entertainment in a pub setting. I am sure the upcoming Shakespeare in the Garden will be a great success!

Covid has been the making of this pub. Pre-covid this pub was rubbish and avoided at all costs. But a refurbishment and the addition of a huge number of staff (see Covid table service only) has transformed things. Highly recommended for families, dog owners and beer lovers. Thanks Nick for the awesome service!

Apart from a minor blip with my Sunday Roast which was rectified. This pub is well worth a visit.

Huge garden and very paddle friendly - we moored our kayaks on the pontoon, brought our paddles up with us, and had a lovely lunch. Definitely recommend a reservation if you want to sit outside on a nice day. I appreciate the effort they made to accommodate coeliac / celiac disease and provide gluten free options. In addition to the gluten free things listed in the online allergen menu, they were able to make the burger gluten free with a gluten free bun. If you let them know you have an allergy they take extra care - they grilled my burger and corn on a separate allergen grill to prevent cross contamination.

Disappointing having brought family back after a nice experience last year. Most food was generally good but one dish came with stone cold mash, and it wasn't a great deal better on a second effort but as everyone else was finished it did. Our daughter's peas also arrived after a chase, just as she finished her meal. Very a little remorse or apology from the team and the server attempted to clear all plates while the delayed diner was still finished which is a no no.

Lovely location and great service from friendly staff

Very overpriced for what I received. My friends fish and chips looked good but my main (chicken schnitzel) was disappointing. My cheesecake was a little dish with some dry biscuit crumbs in the bottom and a bit of cheesecake filling piped on top to order. Very disappointing as place looks great and service was good.

Had the Crispy Asian Beef. It wasn’t crispy at all but soft. The Asian salad accompanying it was soggy with carrot ribbons that had browned from being prepared too early. Not pleasant at all. Friendly service but painfully slow.

I had a pint and a pizza and it was sunny and I was outside by the river. Great.

We had a space booked for our little boy's birthday. The communication with the team beforehand was fantastic, and the space we had (the conservatory) was absolutely perfect for a family gathering. We loved the barbecue food too. Huge huge thanks to Jade and her team for making the day so smooth and easy.

I have never seen such a tiny steak for £28 and almost no avocado in avocado salad. Also we ordered rose sparkling wine and they brought Prosecco. Service is quite slow as well.

Great pub - always had excellent service here and the food has always been good. The menu has options for different dietary requirements. Has a really nice beer garden which backs down to the river and overlooks the weir. The pub supports other local organisations including local charities. A very friendly place to visit!

Food lovely, service spot on. Overall bang on
