The Britannia in Richmond upon Thames

With two outdoor dining areas, including a roof terrace, The Britannia is the ideal venue for alfresco sunny summer lunches and dinners. The menu has something for everyone, the food and presentation is outstanding. The service is friendly and attentive. Highly recommended ✨

A sensational place for a drink and even better for food. Matt, James , Emily and Abi were amazing. Keeping our drinks topped up and our conversation flowing!

We had a great meal here, food was delicious x

Excellent traditional English pub.

When the waitress casually asked how my meal was, I replied that the truffle linguine was not good, that the taste was bland and dark and needed to be brightened up by the presence of olives, or tomatoes or chillies or something. When it came time to pay, a different waitress informed me that they wouldn’t charge me for the linguine. I was pleasantly surprised! After all, I hadn’t complained but only given feedback. Their response made me feel that I was worthwhile, that my feedback was important. This was my first visit and I had noted that the ambience was classy when I took my seat. And now, I can also say that the staff and the management too were a class act. Thank you!

My daughter took me to this place for lunch on mother's day. We left the place especially disappointed at the bland scallops we had ordered as starters, and the wait of upto 40 min between the starters and the main. We didn't eat anything else that afternoon/ evening. In the middle of the night we both started feeling really unwell, including cramps and diahorrea. We have no doubt that the meal eaten at The Britannia was the cause.

Cane for a date night with my partner. Found a literal worm in my food. Waiter was apologetic, offered another dish but my stomach had turned at this point. My partner and I decided to leave as we had lost our appetite (she’d eaten a quarter of her meal at this point), yet they still tried to charge for her meal and everything else. A decent place would have waived the whole food bill and had us just pay for the drinks, as we’d barely eaten anything by the time we discovered the worm. When I questioned the food bill the attitude of the waiting staff changed completely. Not a great experience in the end

I came here with my brother after a walk in Richmond. We had fish and chips, the service was quick and efficient and the food was absolutely fantastic and filling. Our waitress Ms. Fera was also very kind and helpful! Overall highly recommended.

Service excellent, food delicious we had the set menu of soufflé and lightly crispy battered cod and chips. Sadly couldn’t fit a dessert. Lovely table cloths and cutlery. Perfect for pre theatre dinner

Had a birthday dinner with my daughter and dined on the best chateaubriand ever. Perfect Old Fashioned cocktails. Fabulous service. Bliss

Definitely recommend this place, excellent.

Delicious Sunday lunch. The chowder was incredible!

Outstanding food and service. So welcoming to families and larger groups.

Brilliant atmosphere, great service and excellent food

As always excellent service, delicious food, stylish atmosphere & fab wine list. Pooch friendly . Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing Valentine’s Dinner. Exceptional food, excellent wines choices to go with. Service was attentive, considerate and friendly.

This place doesn't disappoints. The food is inventive, well presented and delicious. No pretence. Just good food. Valentine menus tend to be boring but not this one. The choices were good and the fixed price was such good value for 4 course..

Went with friends on a Tuesday evening, it was fairly quiet but the service was excellent. We went for the fixed price menu, the battered cod was amazing. Perfectly cooked, I'm not sure I've had cod that good in the UK before. I'm definetly returning to have exactly the same !!

I have never had a bad meal.or experience at the Brittania. The ambiance is always relaxing and enjoyable. The staff always friendly and.welcoming and the food is always well presented and to a high standard. Certainly one of our favourites...

The Britannia is consistently good and all the staff and manager Oliver ate so friendly and accommodating it’s one of our favourite places.

Very nice place. Though it can be a little noisy.

This was a wonderful place to have dinner. We were upstairs and the food and service were excellent. In the centre of Richmond in a quiet pedestrian lane. Will definitely be back.

First time going to the restaurant. Friendly service and the food was of a high standard. Very tasty and will be back

Have eaten a few times here - superb value for the quality of food and cooking.

Lovely gem in the heart of Richmond! Food was delicious, I had scallops and calf's liver and dark chocolate dessert. The dessert was the least favourite but other than that it was a lovely discovery! It has a restaurant feel more than a pub and linen on the table! The waitress was also brava!

Always amazing - great food, ambience and fabulous service! That’s why we come back here again and again. Love it - thank you!

very very tasty food - Sunday roasts - simple, comfortable, friendly - all good

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful place, delicious food, friendly and efficient service. Coupled with the quaint Richmond location, you can’t go wrong! Highly recommend.

Wonderful evening dinner for 4 friends. Lively atmosphere, great food and fairly priced. Excellent negronis at the end!!

Eat early pre theatre. Perfect with great service

Interesting menu, very good food and service, great atmosphere.

Great good, fabulous staff, lovely evening had by all.

Lovely service and fantastic food. One of the best restaurants in Richmond

Consistently great food and service. Lovely, friendly staff

Excellent food and service We love their Sunday roast

Not exactly a gastro pub. White table cloths. I know it used to be a pub and there's a bar. But very good food at a classy restaurant. This isn't scampi in a basket.

Staff are outstanding. Beautiful pub and lovely food

It's always a great experience. We regularly have a roast on a Sunday which is a highlight.

Good vibe with good food and wine. Great restaurant to meet up with friends

Very friendly efficient service and the food and wine were lovely

Delicious food. Great service. Smart venue. Very good menu

Lovely meal, had tempura prawns then a roast. Best roast potatoes in west London for a pub, nice and crispy. Well balanced roast with plenty of vegetables. A little slow for main course to arrive but otherwise very good. Love a pub with white tablecloths! Makes it feel more upmarket. Food generally excellent here.

Really enjoyed our first experience at the Brittania , the ambience was good and food and service were really good. Would happily recommend and make a return visit

Perfect in every detail. Food & wine excellent (Salt Marsh Lamb and Sea Trout in our case). Service just right and a lovely ambiance. We will be back soon. Highly recommended and deserves the 5 star rating.

The Britannia on the wonderfully named Brewers Lane in Richmond. A great little 'pub', more of a restaurant really but busy and happy. Great staff and a wonderful welcome. Happily imbibed a pint of lager and noted a couple of casks on offer. This is a busy, popular place focussed on welcoming families and friends to dine and relax. A great place.

Really good food, excellent service and lovely ambience. A pleasure to dine there

Wonderful gastropub. Always delivers excellent food with outstanding thoughtful service.

A gem in Richmond. The food amd service is consistently excellent.

Very decent pub diner. Good food, friendly atmosphere and service.

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.

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.

Always good - brilliant atmosphere tonight even on Christmas Eve and great food.

Such a reliable local with great food ,relaxing ambience with top service

Una experiencia fabulosa. He estado aquí antes, pero esta fue la mejor comida en un restaurante que he tenido este año. Tenía el suflé de queso, 5 estrellas, y el bacalao también 5 estrellas! Mi único problema era que comía demasiado. Mi esposa se sintió igualmente bendecida con sus elecciones.

Simple food done very well, washed-down with good wine. The staff are warm & friendly, too. A nice night out !

I have eaten at The Brittania several times, never disappointed. Food was delicious, pate starter, chicken and porchini linguine mains, my friend said the tiramisu was the best she’s had! Service was attentive and friendly. Value for money.

My new favourite place to go for dinner. We were early for our booking but we were greeted so warmly. Our table was waiting for us which was a real bonus at this time of year! White table cloths and napkins add an air of luxury. So rarely see these days. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. A couple of good vegetarian options too. Great house wines. Reasonably priced. The extra spicy bloody marys are to die for! Get yourselves booked in.

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

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. A gorgeous festive evening.

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 good evening. Great service, chateaubriand was excellent.

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

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

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

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.

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, 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.
