The Crown in Richmond upon Thames

Went to this pub around 21.30 and was fairly quiet but very friendly staff and had a nice chilled vibe. Our only negative was after 1 drink we tried to order another at 22.20 and was told we’re not serving anymore. Was no last orders called prior so left feeling a little disappointed but would definitely return in the future.

Fantastic local pub, food was excellent. Loved the local vibe and very convenient for both Kew and Richmond . Certainly will return asap

Old world pub which is an easy walk from Kew Gardens. Has an amazing beer garden, and in fitting with Kew Gardens has a pretty spectacular flower ensemble to enjoy while eating/drinking

The service was terrible 😞 think we were served by the manager a guy calling himself Dermot ? The food was cold and very slow arriving the drinks were poor even no ice in my mums gin and tonic tbh the whole experience was a poor show such a shame for a great looking pub obviously ran by a manager/owner who doesn’t care do not recommend will not be back shame on you !

Really good service and excellent Thai food

Stayed nearby in Premier Inn for a two week work assignment. Ate at this pub regularly during that period. Great food and friendly environment. Recommended.

New on year 2024..This pub come up with Thai food station menu recently 2024. Recommended you and friends or family to try and take away available all so.

Thai food station menu in The Crown Richmond TW9 2JZ is quality delicious on the good price made me fullup with healthy spice Thai food in the good price £6.00for starter and main course with rice from £12.00 I will soon come back again. The food here is able to buy to take away as well.

Nice Pub, had a pint and a good Pad Thai for lunch. Update as of 1/2/24. The kitchen is closed as they have no chef at the moment. So no food at all.

I wanted to stop for a pint with one of my mates, I leave nearby this place. The old guy that work there was so rude and disrespectful. I never had in any pub someone behaved like that. I will never come back again

Beer and GUINNESS kept well. Dermot has a very good dry sense of humour. Good portions of both British and Thai food.

I would just look at all the previous comments on the grumpy rude sad gentleman who may end up serving you if you are unlucky.3pm Friday it was empty all I can say is no wonder.

We stayed at the premier inn round the corner and although they had a bar, we grew to love The Crown. After rambling London all day we would stop in on our way back to the hotel and have a pink gin and lemonade, and hubby would have a cider. We ate there to! The bangers and mash were superb, the regulars were friendly, and it was nice to meet strangers and become friends. Really a nice local pub.

Parked up five minutes before opening, coming in for a pint, while my father finished up a phone call. The owner came out and stated we needed to purchase a drink to park there. It was empty and there were two remaining parking completely free but I went in and ordered a Diet Coke while my father finished his call before he would come in for his own drink. I was told when making the Diet Coke purchase that if I left the premises he would clamp our car. Within 25 minutes the owner was trying to bully me out of the empty pub, rushing me to finish my drink and very rudely telling me to get out and leave. I informed him I’m a paying customer, he clearly doesn’t need the parking space in this moment, why is he hassling me? He said the other two were “booked up” and he needed ours. Ridiculous. I believe my treatment was racially motivated and I don’t think he would have treated another person this way. As we began to move our car, he came out and took pictures of us. Deeply unpleasant and likely racist owner. We remained in the area for another half an hour at a cafe nearby. The two other spots were not used in that time.

Good pub grub, draft beer and tea/coffee in a traditional, authentic, English public house.

Brilliant pub with great well priced food. Quick friendly service and a Landlord who is always quick with a joke or two!!! Would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.👍👍👍👍

Great pub, very nice staff (including the landlord), one of the best (if not the best) Guinness you can get in London. No nonsense pub.

A nice local feeling with reasonable prices, a choice of Thai food or English foods. Friendly dogs welcomed.

Good pub to stop over and catch up with friends for a drink. Even we have been there on Fridays, it's loud so you can actually chat and unwind after a long day. Wine selection is not remarkable only but the Rioja great. There is a bit if parking and after some time you can get free parking outside in the street.

A proper London boozer. The landlord is great and they have Irish crisps and pop which my daughter enjoyed very much. Will have to try the grub next time as the menu looked top notch. Much more down to earth than other pubs in the area.

Rupert the manager is not interested at all. Tried to establish what was going on. Bar staff did not want to serve us at 10 48pm saying they had spread the word that last ordered were 10.45pm! Staff said they needed to go home! Not sure who was in charge staff-or management. Staff and manager not interested at all. We spent over £150 in the 3 hours we were there. Have been coming for over 45 years now but very unhappy with the new staff and manager. Being a business man running companies for 40 years myself and local clubs can honestly say things need to improve here unless you only want gastro customers.

Today is my first time to pop in as I was passing by, im not ashamed and will always said never again, pub looks ok but the old man who was behind the bar is very rude and I think racist because I asked for a cup of tea and a snack he brought me 2 pieces of biscuits on a tissue paper, an old man came in ordered for coffee and biscuits he was offered 4 pieces on a plate. This bar man then gave me wrong change , when I asked him he said wait and brought the balance but with so much disgust on his face, this is a place to avoid, shameful.

Traditional pub serving Thai and English food.

Great place good food and can watch all sports

Great pub. I had a really good pint of Guinness and a delicious Chicken Pad Thai in the Beer Garden.

Have drunk here on a number of occasions and have always said never again, pub itself is ok but the man behind the bar is always very rude Gave it one more try tonight for the football as it’s the nearest pub and is covered in signs saying football here, asked miserable bar man if they have the football on and without even looking up just replied ‘no’ and didn’t give me the time of day

friendly pub and atmosphere, they play alot of sports on the TV and very clean.

Loved it. Good food. Great place to be

A Young's house. I had a good pint of ordinary, my friend said the Guinness he had was very good. Good atmosphere, good service. Enjoyed watching a lovely darts match.

Stayed at premier, came in for a drink had lovely food too. Staff very nice. Will pop in again

Well done the landlord for keeping the pub going - thank you cracking food wonderful beer

Been cycling past this place for years, noticed that it serves Thai food but have never gone in. Today that changed as I had a red curry urge. Really nice, proper boozer. Well kept, good selection of beers and helpful bar staff. Went for the red curry with chicken and a cheeky chicken satay on the side. Curry lacked the full chilli punch but was very tasty. All washed down with a couple of ice-cold Morettis. Perfect Monday evening. I'll be back.

The Crown is a couple of minutes walk from the Premier Inn where we were staying. There's a choice of English or Thai food and roast dinner on Sundays. We chose Thai and were not disappointed. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely eat there again

Stayed at the nearby Premier Inn and called in here for an evening meal. Delicious food, reasonably priced & staff very friendly. Would recommend.

Fast, friendly service on a Thursday evening. The tasty English and Thai food was served in generous portions and well received by all. Two casks ales available and all needs of our small party catered for with a smile. Would recommend.

Awesome post-party next-day luncheon, exactly what the doctor ordered! Revived 👍

Nice pint, nice staff and nice punters.

Just a nice place with nice people, good food.

Sunday roast... Very good. Beef was tender, Yorkshire big and not too hard. Booked the family group room which was excellent.This is a very popular pub. The garden area was very pleasant.Smallish car park, one disable space suggest pre book.Oh... The waiters were excellent.All seemed well presented and spoken students. Well done

Great old fashioned pub and Grubb.

Lovely little local pub in Richmond with a great English and Thai Food menu, well worth a visit.

Lovely food and reasonably priced too. Very friendly staff.

This place is really hit or miss. There's a super grumpy old guy who tends bar that frowns and scowls at you when you order and throughout your visit... And not in a dive-bar charming way but a way that makes you feel like you're ruining his day by being there. On the plus side, there's a very pleasant woman who also tends bar (was there on the 6th August) who is a delight. Super smiley and friendly. So yeah... Hit or miss. Old guy should not be in a customer facing role... Maybe tucked in the back cleaning or cooking would be a better option.

It is a nice spacious pub with a good atmosphere

Solid local. Good Guinness and friendly staff. Can't knock the place

First time here with great expectations

Average pub atmosphere, pleasant employees, very clean toilets, no lattes but they do serve nice filter coffee. Onion rings were hot and crispy, but not made in house. Didn't get a chance to have a full meal, but I like the idea of a pub that serves Thai food.

The pub and character is so perfectly old fashioned run but good staff and solid run. Good bar food menu and great for social happy and upsetting events. MP

Don’t bother! Better of heading into Richmond. Service is appalling unless you are a regular.

Always use the Crown when I pop up to London to visit my brother. Just a nice,clean pub with friendly staff who provide good, basic food at reasonable prices. Nothing pretentious.

Great Thai food and I've always found the staff here very friendly and helpful

Always a decent quiet place for a drink.

We were staying close by at the Premier Inn but were wanting to eat in a pub if possible. The Crown is just a few steps away. we received a friendly welcome, the lamb shank and vegetables, and steak pie chips and peas with ciders went down very well after a day at Kew.

First visit for food in this pub.Sunday lunchtime, was not too busy.Nice selection of pub food, had the ultimate roast which was really lovely (3 meats basically).Children's menu was a little low on choice I would say.All in all, a good value Sunday lunch.

This is my best Father's Day ever the music is great

Great, large pub. Very light and airy with a huge outdoor space and excellent parking in the rear. The menu is top notch pub food, with daily specials and always something a little different.

Quick eat, it is a pub after all. Thai food has a good taste, but substitute ingredients detract from the authenticity.

Good beer here - staff alert and helpful. They catered for a funeral gathering and all was good.

nice pub nice people nice price everyting nice 😎

Beautiful food, great service, fantastic ambience. This is one of the best pubs i have ever been. The cocktails are very well prepared too and the prices are reasonable.

More like the hat if you know what I mean.

A simple hostelry with no pretence. Good beer and delightful staff. That's good enough for me! I am enjoying a great pint here.

Awful pub, the owner (lease holder) was rude and ignorant. Bitter old man. Also you would not eat their if you knew the state of the Kitchen. Absolutely disgusting should be closed down. Avoid avoid avoid.

Nice local pub. Nothing more nothing less.

Visited here lately would highly recommend very friendly owner Dermot and staff lovely

Met friends ,had a few drinks .pub was quiet , not crowded , enjoyed the night.

Very friendly staff , dog friendly and reasonably priced for Richmond !

Excellent facilities and a great sponsor of a new football team in the local area👍

ここは比較的気軽に入れるパブ。パブの食事もそれなりのものである。近くに宿をとった場合などは訪れてみるとよいだろう。

Great staff and relaxing atmosphere

We recently stayed st The Crown as we were going to Ascot for Ladies Day. The hotel is a great place to stay for the location as within walking distance to train station & then approx 30 mins on train to Ascot. On arriving at the hotel, we asked about a train strike as we had heard there was one, the receptionist and a male presumably the manager where not very helpful and said they knew nothing about it to which my friend said, we will Google it, neither of them offered to Google for us! The rooms were lovely and clean with a huge bed which was comfy. Breakfast was a help yourself and was a vhoice of either full and continental which ever you wanted. The evening meals looked lovely but not a good selection for a vegetarian unless you liked cheese! We asked the staff if they had any alternatives and basically was told no. Needless to say, we didn't eat there! Lovely hotel but a shame the staff weren't more helpful.

Stumbled across the crown whilst walking around town looking for somewhere that still served food on a Sunday evening. Venue is beautifully furnished. Menu has a good selection but without being overly complicated. Prices of foid is reasonable and the service was exceptional (even when a mistake was made with the order, the waiter couldn't do enough to sort it out). A diamond in the rough and somewhere I'd I've to call my local, but unfortunatly a 200 mile round trip wouldn't tempt me. If you're in the area is strongly recommend a visit as I don't think it could be beaten. A huge well done to all the staff.

Great and authentic Thai food - I personally loved the drunken noodles

One hour waiting time for food + Expensive drinks

I frequently use The Crown for overnight stays when on business locally. I find the service is fantastic and always accomodating, the rooms are comfortable, clean and have good air conditioning, the food is plentiful and always tasty and not over priced at all. Good selection of beers/wines as you might want.Breakfast can alternate between order/self service but always plenty of choice and fresh, never overly busy so plenty of time to relax before the start of your day.Parking plentiful on site aswell.

We went to see a live band on a packed Friday evening.Everyone there friendly and in good spirits .. but the standout feature was the bar staff... The place was heaving but you never waited for more than a few minutes to be served by the young , professional staff who were right on top of everything all night ..such a shock when normally pubs like this have just minimal staff even when they know it’s going to be busy .. the worst for this locally is The Minnow in Weybridge, they never have enough staff , always long waits to be served for drinks and food and hardly ever get the food order right if there’s more than two people !

Wlasciciel jest nie mily I na dodatek jest kutasem!!

Whilst staying at the Premier Inn next door, my wife & i (along with our 6 month old) spent every evening in The Crown as it was quiet.

we had afternoon tea here as a treat from my daughter, it was fantastic, lovely sandwiches, scones and cakes and little puddings. Beautifully set out, really enjoyable, the staff were very polite. Well done to everyone.

A group of us stayed for one night to attend a friend's party. We were going to get a mini bus home to Kent, but staying overnight proved more economical. We were so glad we chose this option.

Stayed here after a long day at Thorpe Park. We had requested a quiet room (newly wed ) we were given a lovely room (27) in The Courtyard. There was a live band on in the bar which we thoroughly enjoyed with a glass or two whilst recovering from ‘fright night’. The room was immaculate, the bed was extremely comfortable and breakfast was to die for!

Proper pub, decent food, not the cheapest drinks but it's in Richmond after all. By far the best pub to watch football around Richmond

We had a very nice meal and a drink there. The service was food and the food was excellent. There was plenty of room and I am sure children would be welcome.

Stop here on our way to twickenham excellent beer and super food thanks, the service was excellent and the bar staff was friendly,

Large outside seating area partially covered that was showing football. Inside the pub is very nicely decorated albeit a little dark. Service was a tad slow, especially for desert where we had to ask twice for the menu and then we were pretty sure they...

A proper pub , not a richmond yupy pub . If you don't like it go into richmond and pay £5 a pint . Best pint of Guinness I have had in richmond since I landed here . Well done Governor

Excellent pub, nice people and no abuse of any kind, despite previous comments

Mi familia y yo nos alojamos en el Crown mientras asistíamos a una boda un lugar absolutamente ideal para alojarse. Las habitaciones eran amplias y muy limpio. Nuestro desayuno ambas mañanas estaba delicioso. Cuando volvimos de nuestro día, frío y húmedo, nos recibió un precioso y grande fuego cómodas sillas, una manera perfecta de terminar el día. Muchas gracias por hacer sentir tan bienvenidos. Yo realmente espero que tengas una razón para volver pronto.

Me gustó el ambiente y la comida. Tuve la hamburguesa que venía con patatas fritas, que era la mejor hamburguesa que comimos hasta ahora. Quisiera ir de nuevo cuando visite Chertsey.

My boyfriend and I were travelling in the UK on vacation and were staying in a flat just down the street from The Crown. We became regulars for the week and the staff and actual regulars made us feel very welcome. The beer is good and the new Thai menu is even better. Very unexpected and very delicious! I would even venture to say that the Thai nosh is better than the Brit nosh available. Sadly, we didn't really get friendly with the locals until almost our last night. A mistake on our part that we won't be making in the future. We had a really great time meeting everyone (including the four legged and fuzzy regulars)and hope to go back in the future if we ever find ourselves in Richmond again. Thanks for allowing two Yanks to join the crowd for the week!

Usually go here to watch the footy with my missus (I don't really have a missus, it's usually on my Larry).Once you've have had your ice cold carlsberg (with a dash of lime), you can go to the great Chinese over the road.

Many of the locals, including the owner, treat women with absolute disrespect, whether visiting the pub or simply walking past. Lager louts shout abuse and sexual comments at everybody walking past. And as I have recently moved close to this pub, I have witnessed this happening to many others at all times during the day and night. Even while ordering food or drinks at the bar, locals are freely able to make upsetting comments across the bar in front of others with no foundation to their comments. Now many residents cross a dangerous road before the lights, just to avoid the harassment. I do not assume the owner will make any changes as he is often seen among the locals laughing and allowing the incidents to continue. I just wish to inform others before you're disappointed. This pub is purely for the local lager louts and any other locals are not welcome.

Me and my partner stayed here as part of the Thorpe park package. Overall we had a lovely time, the room was clean and spacious and the atmosphere was lovely. Would defiantly consider coming back, the only thing we did complain about was the price of the drinks but we believe that is due to being so close to London.

Go here if you want a beer and there is nowhere else.Seemed a little bit rundown and smelled of cigarrettes.Nice staff.

We visited The Crown with friends last night and were very disappointed. The drinks are astronomically priced, £8 for a glass of wine and a G&T. It also seemed virtually impossible to come away from the bar with a single measure of gin,every time you are asked if you want a large Gin and despite my husband clearly stating he wanted a regular measure the barman still gave him doubles, so I now have a headache and very costly particularly if you are driving as your one drink would put you over the limit! Every round of 4 drinks came to £30 at least, central London prices in a grubby pub in Chertsey.Food was OK, very limited choice of healthy options but the Burgers looked good, portions were quite small but it arrived quickly and was passable, but quite frankly no better than a Wetherspoons.The most annoying thing however was the back door to the smoking area which we were sat near. There was a constant stream of people traipsing past us, which was very loud, distracting and disruptive, plus every time the door opened cold air and smoke came in, so by the time we left we were freezing and also smelt of smoke, something I haven't experienced in a pub for years! The several girls locked in a toilet cubicle doing something a bit dodgy was also a bit interesting! The loos are also filthy and could do with a deep clean.All in all very disappointing and we definitely won't be rushing back.

I just stayed at the Crown as part of a Thorpe Park break, and it was wonderful. The staff were friendly, the room was beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Breakfast was included, and it was buffet style and very nice. We also ate in the restaurant and there was great choice and the food was tasty. All in all, a great place to stay and eat.

The Crown is one of those places which has a decent amount of ale and craft beer to satisfy most people, and yet will have good selection of wines and cocktails for those who don't know what they're missing. Have been in once to eat in the evening, and it was very good.

It is very expensive compared to service given....The landlord is a proper d..khead. He should manage lamb on the field not a public place. ...

Visiting the area and was impressed by other online reviews.Felt that the reality didn't match our expectations. Two chicken club sandwiches,one soup two portions of chips and three soft drinks nearly £35.

I ate here 3 times during the week I working in the area. The fact I ate here 3 is the compliment. Rarely do I find a good eatery that offers a good choice with great standards.The staff are very attentive the choice of drinks that are on offer are for everyone.The food tastes fresh and the portions size are excellent. I tried the sea bass with the pea salad, beer battered fish n chips and the sirloin steak.
