The Britannia in Richmond upon Thames

Came for new years in a big group - the service was impeccable, the food was amazing (huge and tasty chateaubriand) and very reasonable considering the quality and the evening. Great experience as always and big thanks to our server, she was excellent.

Great gastropub with a delicious variety of food and drinks. I had the crab, linguine vongole and a roast here all on separate occasions and they were all incredibly.

My team and myself, had our christmas dinner there, lovely place. The food was on point and the service was 10 out 10.

Lovely small restaurant. Perfect for small gatherings and intimate little get togethers. Limited menu but beautiful ly done.

Fantastic place to meet our daughter for a meal prior to going to the pantomime. Excellent service, attentive staff and time to chat and enjoy an beautiful meal. Excellent mushy peas and tartare sauce complemented the fantastic fish & chips. Plus Tiramisu to die for .

We enjoyed our Christmas team evening here and had a lovely time - warm, welcoming environment, delicious food and wine, friendly staff - will definitely be returning.

Good restaurant but there were too many little kids in the place at 6 pm on Sunday. I suggest you come after 7:30 pm to avoid the little ones.

First time I’ve been, little Jem I recommend it. I live in Richmond and somehow not seen it.

Great service, delicious food! Will highly recommend for a date night

Really nice restaurant with great food and really nucevservice

El Britannia es un encantador pub gastronómico escondido en Richmond, que ofrece una experiencia gastro pub por excelencia. Con un ambiente acogedor, personal amable y una gran selección de bebidas, es perfecto para relajarse con amigos o familiares. Su acogedora zona de estar al aire libre es una ventaja adicional, especialmente en los días soleados. Un lugar encantador para una comida casual o celebraciones en Richmond!

Tuvimos una agradable experiencia gastronómica en The Britannia. El restaurante tiene un ambiente agradable, y los precios son razonables. Probé el pescado con papas fritas, que estaba bien cocinado pero carecía de sabor, por lo que no volvería a pedirlo. Sin embargo, el plato de mi marido era excelente - un plato bien redondeado con cordero rosa perfectamente cocinado, una salsa sabrosa, mousse de apio suave, una ensalada de col fresca y deliciosas papas pavimentadas. En general, una buena experiencia, y volveríamos a visitar.

I’ve been here a couple of times now and always well looked after . The staff are great and the food is amazing .

Me alegro de que reservamos como este domingo almuerzo para cuatro fue de primera categoría! El asado dominical no decepcionó (como hacen tantos) , de hecho brilló. Gran carta de vinos y un servicio fabuloso. Muy recomendable.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Great food and wine ina lovely environment

Really a super restaurant . It isn’t a pub. The food is high level , very good . The service and ambience excellent . Definitely a favourite for those who know it.

We love this place but unfortunately the upstairs where we sat was ridiculously hot and none of the windows were open. We had to ask the next table to open the window next to them. Nice to be snug but it was like a sauna. Also, and I know it was not the restaurant’s fault, but they had two large tables for an office Christmas party. Not quite sure why people need to shout and scream (god I’m sounding old!) but small space and wooden floors didn’t help. Again, I’m all for a fun atmosphere but when you can’t hear the person next to you in what is usually quite an intimate restaurant, then maybe others need to be a little more self aware? Normally the Britannia is excellent and we will come back, but perhaps I’ll think about time of year. Ps the staff were very pleasant and hard working despite the stifling heat

Really good evening. Great service, chateaubriand was excellent.

Good food and service, very nice place. We’ll be back!

Fab food, great service, lovely atmosphere - and quiet enough to have a good conversation without being distracted. The staff were lovely from start to finish, attentive without being overly bearing, and kindly giving me a glass of port on the house as the one I’d wanted had run out. I highly recommend this place, and would have given it 5-stars for food had our steaks come with hand cut chips, which seemed only fitting for such delicious, perfectly cooked pieces of beef. Small quibble though. Will definitely go again.

Lovely cosy pub restaurant, small and welcoming, friendly staff, great location and very good food and wine. A pleasure!

Tasteful great food discreet yet attentive service and a lovely quiet atmosphere upstairs . Booked again !

Lovely simple lunch which was just what we needed. Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly welcoming attentive staff. Perfect for a central Richmond lunch.

Atmospheric location and cosy environment. The choice and quality of the food was very good but it was the service that was excellent. The waitress was attentive without being intrusive.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed, thankyou.

Great run restaurant. Great food and drink. 2nd time we have been there. Couldn’t fault it.

All excellent food and service a truly great restaurant

Enjoyed a pre theatre dinner with friends in the Britannia's relaxed, attractive surroundings. Friendly helpful service and very good food contributed greatly to a most enjoyable evening

Always welcoming staff, good food, nice ambience all year round, and a value for money set menu option

Great atmosphere, super service and delicious food, not forgetting the great wine too.

Excellent food and exceptional service. Really enjoyable lunch. Will return

Exceptional service, venue and food as always. The best Sunday roast in Richmond, highly recommended.

Great as always, rugby set menu lunch was fab. Will be back soon!

Great to be back! Usual high standard food and friendly service. Still fabulous. Really busy before international at Twickenham but absolutely top!

I’ve just discovered the Britannia. I went there with a group a few weeks ago it was excellent. So I returns today for a catch up with a friend. We had spicy bloody marys which we absolutely delicious! Then the set menu. The Jerusalem artichoke soup was delicious, as was the muchroom pasta. If I had any complaints, as a vegetarian it was a little rich as the options were limited. But honestly I love it there. Service was great, attentive but not overbearing. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

lovely atmosphere and surroundings in this old pub, fantastic service and good quality food and seafood options

Best roast Sunday lunch in Richmond. No dought.

Stopped in for dinner after the match at Twickenham. Very busy but very efficient staff. Reasonably elegant menu and a stunning mushroom truffle pasta main. A little disappointed with the tiramisu, but overall a very pleasant meal.

Lovely, attentive service. Excellent Sunday pork roast, Yorkshire pudding was soft and delicious unlike the hard Tasteless examples I’ve had at other restaurants. Would loved to have tried the puddings but too full.

Reliable and excellent experience before the rugby. Always good….

Very nice restaurant when previously visited, hence the return. Staff seemed very busy and were attending to, too many tables, hence slow service. We had food which we did not order coming to our table. We e planned it was not our order. The starter “ twice baked Soufflé” which seemed popular, looked all the same over done and the Herb velouté was congealed and cold. We had wondered if it was mass prepared and then left or tried to be reheated hence the cold rubbery texture? Mains sadly no order notes were followed and by dessert we had given up. Drinks would have been great if you could get the young male waiter whom seemed so fed up, attention. More customer foucused staff and freshly hot prepared food is required here.

As usual, generous portions of delicious food served with a smile. Wine menu is a treat too. We were very comfortable and cosy on the terrace. Great atmosphere- a real buzz. Always a treat. Highly recommend.

The Britannia in Richmond is a regular and reliable "go-to" place for us. On our latest visit the staff were up to scratch as usual and the atmosphere/ambience really excellent. The food fell slightly short of the normal very high standard, especially the starter and main course, although our desert was delicious. Hopefully next time everything will be back at the level we expect from this normally excellent place.

5-Star Review for Britannia Pub & Restaurant - A Perfect Sunday Lunch Experience! Birthday 🎂 We had the most wonderful Sunday lunch today at Britannia Pub & Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the ideal setting for a birthday 🎁 celebration. The staff were incredibly attentive throughout our visit, anticipating our needs and ensuring everything was perfect. The food was simply fantastic. We started with the artichoke soup and tempura prawns, both of which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. For mains, we tried a selection of Sunday roasts—both the beef and pork were cooked to perfection, tender and rich, with all the classic trimmings. Every bite was delicious and comforting, exactly what you’d hope for in a traditional British roast. The whole experience was seamless and enjoyable. Whether you’re after a special occasion or just a lovely Sunday meal, the Britannia truly knows how to make a lunch memorable. Highly recommended! * * * * * P.S. Two members of our party required gluten-free options, and the Britannia wonderfully accommodated their needs. The gluten-free dishes were equally delightful, showcasing the kitchen's versatility and commitment to all guests. P.P.S. The icing on the cake (!) was the surprise birthday candle presented with our pudding and coffee. It was a thoughtful touch that made our celebration even more special.

As usual a great experience and great food and service

Beautiful food, fabulous service in a great setting. The Britannia is amazing, highly recommend.

Extremely enjoyable evening, quality food, service and ambience.

An Absolutely Wonderful locatiom!!! From Entrance-Exit! Starter/Main/Dessert 10/10. Would Highly recommend:- Starter:- Chicken Liver Parfait/Roasted Orkney scollaps. Mains:- Calves liver/Lamb Dessert:- Apple/Blackberry Crumble/Sorbet

Was there last night with friend food was superb had the Orkney scallops to start with then the calf's liver and finished of with sorbet

A pre theatre supper very pleasant but so overpriced When I arrived we had a small table by the door I asked the manager if I could hang my coat up Seemed to be a problem never smiled or asked how I was total contrast to the two smiling lovely waitresses that served us The fish and chips was okay very crisp batter and small portion of pre cut chips Bottle of wine fine but the bill came to £101 Won’t be returning as it’s nothing special which is a shame as I’ve frequented the Britannia for many years.

High quality food and pleasant staff made an enjoyable pre theatre (130 metres away).

Ambience was relaxed. Staff very helpful. It was my partners birthday so they gave him a free beer. Lovely location and value for money.

El personal hace este lugar! Un almuerzo improvisado con un amigo me llevó a Richmond, donde entramos en Britannia para un almuerzo temprano. Estaban ocupados pero sin hacernos sentir como si estuviéramos siendo un dolor dijeron que nos podían dar una mesa siempre y cuando desocupamos en 3 horas. No tenía señal telefónica, ya que estaba escondido en un callejón y estaba tratando de enviar un mensaje, un miembro del personal se dio cuenta y se acercó pensativamente para preguntar si estaba luchando y me gustaría saltar en el WiFi. El servicio amable pero atento y fácil te hace sentir como si estuvieras en la casa de alguien, hospitalidad tan amable. Oh y la comida es genial, pero una advertencia, las porciones son grandes, así que no dejes que tus ojos sean demasiado grandes para tu vientre!

Excellent as always! One of my favourite places for Sunday roast in London

Delightful Sunday lunch with friends on a lovely autumn day. Good choice of roasts and puddings, just what we needed, and very pleasant service.

Such a good restaurant, excellent food, a good menu and wine list, and good service, I had the Lamb, and my wife had the linguini we left happy and full!

Simple food prepared and presented very well, in an informal, calm environment. A real treat.

Very nice atmosphere and ambiance. Quick service, friendly and accommodating staff! Only criticism, I ordered the burger which was delicious apart from the very hot/spicy slaw which was also on the burger! This was not necessary as the burger was flavoursome without it!

Dined with my wife, and we both had the set menu. This is a lovely restaurant and the food was delicious and excellent value. Service was great 👍 I'm glad we found this little gem. Overall, it was a fabulous evening, and we'll definitely return.

This was my first time at Britannia and I found atmosphere, food and service was very good. Definitely go back again.

Exceptional service, and perfectly prepared quality meals. Favourite restaurant.

Great Richmond gastropub/restaurant - no thrills, high quality service, food and booze

Great service, good food and atmosphere . Have always enjoyed dinner at the Brittania...

A very pleasant experience, nice setting and ambiance and excellent food.

An excellent Sunday lunch and the set menu is very good value.

Nuestro nuevo destino. Super servicio y comida. Manteles adecuados. Reserva para el almuerzo del domingo. Vale la pena. Súper personal. Pescado especialmente bueno.

We both ordered the French onion soup to start which was forgotten and our mains came out first. We then had to wait for our starter followed by our mains which were overcooked (mushroom linguine was very popular ver done and roast chicken which was dry). Really disappointing as it was a special occasion however the wine was nice.

Surprisingly excellent little gem, stuck away in a gorgeous little alley. You'd think you are on holiday in an artistic European town. What is even more appealing and worthy of a visit is the food, the ambiance, the look and the excellent service. That's what it takes to tick all my boxes for a gastro pub. Bravo to this place and their staff. See you again soon.

As always, lunch at the Britannia was very enjoyable. There was a new menu since our last visit, which was very welcome. The herb souffle was super, and the partridge dish was rich and tasty. Tempura prawns were good but lacked some spicy sauce, and the dressed crab was mediocre.

Good place for pre-theatre meal just off from Richmond Green

The service was great, our waitress was pleasant , attentive and helpful. We have been here and at the watermanns for Sunday roast several times and unfortunately the food has declined on this occasion. The portion size got better but the beef was not as nicely cut, juicy or tasty, Yorkshire pudding whilst massive didn’t taste as good, the horseradish sauce tasted a little off and the potatoes were too hard to cut. Not sure if the chef changed or was having a bad day but I hope it returns to its glorious days again . Thank you anyway for a good time .

Excellent service and amazing food, best roast in Richmond, highly recommended

Beautiful food and great service - we’ll definitely be back

An excellent meal with great and friendly service. Really like the transition from bar pub to pub restaurant. Good menu and always an enjoyable dining experience. Always have a positive experience at the Britannia!

Lovely quirky pub, great food and great service.

Another excellent dining experience with thanks to the consistently impressive Britannia team.

Totally lovely dinner in the lovely heated garden. Delicious food, great service - all in all a really perfect evening. The Britannia richly deserves its excellent reputation. Thank you!

Always love coming to the Britannia, they have a great set menu, lovely food and dog friendly

This little pub was set in a little side street alley way. We hadn’t booked but were shown to a lovely table in the garden area as it was a sunny warm day. We had a fantastic great quality meal at lunch time. We had a great negroni too. Would definitely recommend:

Good meal and evening. Service was very good. I tried the new scallops starter which was nice but still isn’t as nice as the old one with the cauliflower purée and the hazelnuts! That was always my favourite.

I usually adore The Britannia but yesterday wasn’t the best experience. First off I requested an outside table due to the noise levels as my fiance is almost deaf in one ear and suffers from tinnitus. When we arrived, our friends had already been seated and put inside. Unfortunately we were also put downstairs where the noise from the bar, it was busy and the table behind us let their baby scream a lot instead of taking him out to calm him (I’m a nanny so I know what I’m talking about) and my fiance was struggling as his tinnitus flared up and he struggled to hear the conversation between me and our friends. Service was very slow which again I’ve never found before in the past and I had to ask if we could order drinks as no one had come over to us and we’d been there awhile. The new menu is ok but sad to see the old scallops with cauliflower puree starter no longer available. I had a roast and my Yorkshire pudding was totally overdone which was a shame. I’ve always been a massive advocate of The Britannia but was left yesterday feeling slightly disappointed.

Really delicious food. Staff professional. Nice ambiance. Would highly recommend.

A good selection available but we went for set menu well prices and great food

We came here for a family lunch on Sunday 1st September and had a really great experience - we were seated on the roof terrace, which was lovely given the great weather, and the food and drinks were all of a really high standard, and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. However, the other stand out here was the service, so a big shout out to Emily Farrow, as she was simply brilliant - nothing was too much trouble, she was so friendly, remaining professional and polite, and it is only when you receive such good service that you realise what a difference it makes to the overall experience, so great job!

Always an enjoyable experience at the Brittania, whether sitting upstairs or downstairs. Friendly service, good choice on the menu and excellent food.

Excellent fixed price menu {choice, quality and price) and great service

One of the best pubs in Richmond, great food, great wine, lovely atmosphere and amazing staff! We went for my birthday and ended up staying for several hours. The waiters were so attentive and we had such a great experience. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails!

Always accommodating, great food and a lovely meal in the garden

Fabulous restaurant, lovely food and great atmosphere

Visited on Sunday, the 25th of August. Once we arrived, we were greeted by a waitress who led us to our table. Considering the restaurant was mostly empty, they seated us in the middle of the passageway, which we did not appreciate as we were looking for something cozier. We ordered six oysters as a starter, one chili & crab pasta, and one sea bass with veggies as mains. It took them 25 minutes to bring the oysters, which we thought was outrageously long, and after that, it took them another 35 minutes to bring the mains. No one cared to let us know why it took so long or simply to inform us that the food was on the way. To note, locals dining there had their food brought within 20 minutes of ordering. They offered us half a glass of Prosecco and a Coke, just refilling our glasses without bothering to give us new, clean ones. Not a nice touch. The food was okay, but it missed salt; the pasta was overcooked, and the sea bass was too dry. We then paid the absurd sum of £136. Absolutely a rip-off—will not eat there again.

A very enjoyable meal in a lovely restaurant. Highly recommended

Lovely, leisurely lunch at The Britannia - staff were friendly and helpful. Great advice on menu and wine choices. Service was attentive without being intrusive - will visit again in future.

I had lunch in this restaurant with 4 friends. The food was very good indeed and reasonably priced. The service was excellent. The waitress who served us was very helpful and had a lovely sense of humour. When two of us asked for coffee at the end of the meal we wanted semi- skimmed milk. They did not have any but one of the staff went out and bought some. A very nice touch. I would recommend this place

My friend and I are regular visitors and we are never let down by the service, food and cocktails

Fabulous food and venue..been several times..never disappoints

We had a lovely family lunch here, couldnt fault the food, restaurant or service. Thank you

Only recently discovered this absolute gem! My partner and I recently attended for dinner and were lucky to sit outside on the balcony terrace. A really beautiful spot with fantastic service and great food. As small as it looks from the outside, the wonderful hidden outside area really is a highlight of Richmond! (Resident)

Beautiful little hideaway when Richmond is busy. Excellent food and drink.

Another special dining experience at Britannia. Excellent service from Jay and Bella.

Delightful lunch in the garden. Lobster was a real treat.
