The Grey Horse in Kingston upon Thames

Had a very disappointing lunch today. Last night’s food reheated - not what one expects when paying good money. The chicken burger was rock hard on one side, and the buffalo cauliflower was clearly not made fresh - some pieces rubbery and some pieces deep fried to stone. The Thickshake was watery, bland and warm. Very sad to have spent £70 on this. The service was good, but won’t be back.

A deceptively large pub, with a HUGE selection of Whisky to choose from. Went for a pub quiz, was not disappointed. Staff seemed friendly & knowledgeable. Numerous different rooms, including one area which looked like a covered outside area. Will revisit for a few drinks to explore further.

Great food great pub and great atmosphere. Anyone thinking about going especially to the ram jam go! A great night out EVERYTIME especially thanks to joy and jevan

Buffalo wings had so much vinegar that wasn't pleasant at all. Also ordered a brisket, but they served me the round or lagarto steak which comes from the leg of the animal and barely has any fat, where brisket comes from the chest and has loads of fat. Terribly disappointed, FAKE !!!

Amazing food and service. Best wings and ribs in town. I didn’t enjoy sitting in cigarette/vape smoke while eating in the outdoor dining area but understand if this is how they want to operate. Still gave 5 stars but maybe they should remove the no smoking sign.

The reviews seem to be really good for this place so that contributed to our decision to have dinner here. Maybe we came at a bad time (Friday night) but the food was really poor. For starters we had the prawns and the buffalo cauliflower. The prawns were the highlight of the meal but the cauliflower was drowning in sauce and not appetising. We then had burgers, I had the beef one with brisket, it was massively over cooked. The chicken burger was average and not worth the £15 (not including fries). We had loaded fries which were again average and chicken wings as a side, again drowning in so much sauce you couldn’t taste the chicken. Considering the establishment is called Smok’d, nothing was legitimately smoked. The bill came to over £100 for 2 of us and it really wasn’t worth it unfortunately.

Ribs was dry and hard you can get better from tesco microwave ribs i cant believe there even serve them like that some of the flavours was there tho only saving grace

Excellent good, great service, nice vibe!

Great food, great service by Adelina, great atmosphere

Fantastic Dining Experience at The Grey Horse in Kingston We had the pleasure of dining at The Grey Horse in Kingston for my sister-in-law’s birthday, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, setting the tone for a wonderful evening. I ordered the pork belly, which was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and tender, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My wife had the beef rib, which she thoroughly enjoyed, praising its rich flavor and perfectly cooked texture. Both dishes were beautifully presented and exceeded our expectations. Our waitress, Kerry, truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. A special mention for the thoughtful touch—she surprised our nephew with a complimentary ice cream, which absolutely made his night! Kerry’s kindness and attention to detail made us feel incredibly well taken care of. Overall, The Grey Horse is a gem, with fantastic food, a great atmosphere, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be returning! Highly recommended.

Chicken burger was dry. £15 burger that doesn't come with chips?! Hot chocolate is made with water not milk. No cutlery or napkins or table sauces. Took the bartender 5 minutes to understand what I was ordering and another 5 minutes to work out my table number and then it was sent to the wrong table but when I finally got it it wasn't even what I had ordered. Customers apparently allowed to smoke in the enclosed patio area?! I recommend going to the Druid's Head instead for pub grub.

lovely atmosphere, excellent burgers,

I haven't tried the food, will update when I do. I have done some open mic nights and a poetry night, a very good venue. Lovely staff and patrons.

The bar staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the beef rib, that was excellent.

Food was lovely, atmosphere was great. Everything was nice until right at the end, we was on a budget and they added an additional service charge to our bill. We was going to tip the girl who served us but not as much as the service charge. We asked if we could remove the service charge and was questioned and made to feel as if we was complaining. After they removed this we was ignored and starred at by the other waiters. We was going to sit in the bar, but as we left we said thank you and bye to the waiter who just stared as us. It's was such as shame as everything else was lovely but they made us feel so bad so asking to remove the 12.5% service charge added. A tip is somthing that is added from the customers discretion, and as a customer you shouldn't be made to feel bad if you simple are counting pennies and wish to remove the service charge added.

A bit clicky , but cool enough ,

Fantastic bbq food and great friendly service. Everything you need for a great meal out!! Thank you Kerry!!

Amazing food and Kerry was great!

Very good food! Friendly efficient service even though they were busy. Our party had the baby ribs, smoked beef rib and pork belly ribs...all outstanding and will order the same again next time!

Best place in town! Food & Service is outstanding.

Great food, very fast service and lovely waitress Kerry! Very sweet and delicious experience

One of my favourite local spots!

Always a solid vibe. Great food drinks and cocktails. Staff are amazing too

Fantastic service and delicious food. Chicken wings are dope.

I have NEVER had such delicious Beef Short Ribs. Truly amazing...

Great staff welcoming great music to sing along with

Amazing place, food and service. The staff are very polite, informed and helpful. Would recommend any day of the week.

Always good food, beer and service. The July burger of the month was terrific.

Been going here for years. Lee and his team continue to produce great food and put on great shows. Highly recommended!

Excellent food & service. Worth coming from America just to eat here!! Highly recommend.

An amazing dinner! Visiting from America and this BBQ is on point! Don’t forget a Jim Pickle too!

Amazing place... Sunday lunch was excellent. Had the beef and was top quality and generous portions. Service superb and very friendly. Highly recommended

The best pub/food in Kingston with the best staff.

Without doubt the best place to eat in Kingston

Great venue we always have a good time here the cocktails and the food have so much thought put into them. The team are all very sociable and make you feel welcome. Anescia was very attentive and we were very well looked after. Always recommend this place to anyone that likes bbq and good drinks.

Ribs were excellent. Good generally good. Worth a visit if BBQ is your thing.

Kitchen staff very loud , no respect for customers

Great venue, great food , super experiance

Amazing place. Very nice and friendly service. Awesome beer and great atmosphere

My daughter 's bdayvmade extra special by the welcoming staff. Still one of our favourite places 30

always brilliant food and today was great because there where slightly less people than normal had a brilliant birthday celebration!!

Great food and drinks incredible whiskey selection

All A star, food, drinks, staff.

Ribs were extremely dry. Chicken wings undercooked. Food came out in two minutes. Clearly not enough time to actually drop wings in a fryer/oven. Seemed that the food was sitting there and microwaved. You have a grill, use it and give your wings some flavour. “Pickles” are pickled cabbage and flavoured as if they were your grandmothers mediocre recipe that sat in a basement a few years too long. Still unsure about the Automatic Service Charge of 12.5%. I had to walk up to the bar and order my own food. No one came to check on my food. No one offered another drink. No one cleared my table and no one brought a bill. So, 12.5% to carry a plate to the table?!? I could have done that myself too! Ambiance included small children crawling on the floor. Don’t waste your time. This place is extremely over rated.

Honestly great place, music 👌 and venue had a great atmosphere, lively and recommended for any one that likes rock, food and drinks, bar staff are great

Family bday. Excellent service. Most food choices were v good.

Excellent food. Great burger best chips i has in long time. Lots of staff on at the bar so you are never waiting long. Good atmosphere, good music and over 150 types of whisky. Could do with a few more types of cider but overall very good.

Second time coming here and the food is always the best. Service was a 10/10. Love having this as our local pub!

Friendliest pub in all of Kingston, the Ram Jam is an amazing highlight. Amazing service by staff, especially Kerry, Alex, Adian and Richard the quiz master.

Food was delicious, but service was specially good! Thanks for a great and delicious evening!

Quality of the meat is fab! The atmosphere bit emo but fun

Lovely staff, an outside smoking area to die for and my whiskey heaven!

Superb ribs and great whisky and cocktails - what’s not to like

WE went for the comedy club, friday night, which was excellent and we were able to order our food to eat in the club. The food was excellent but the staff were exceptional, friendly, efficient and happy. Great evening would thoroughly recommend.

CALUM has such good knowledge of the whisky. It was an amazing night. Will definitely go again

Best experience ever. I had an amazing time at the Grey Horse. Staff were amazing and helpful. And their Steak was absolutely fantastic.

We visited for the lunch deal, really impressed with the quality of the food and portion sizes - plus the staff are super friendly. We will be back!

Lovely staff and nice atmosphere, but food needs improvement. Ribs were very salty and fatty, chips didn't taste good and dessert wasn't great.

Just popped in for a quick pint, and was pleasantly surprised a good pint of Naked Ladies by Twickenham Brewery and to find a 16 year old Bushmills was fantastic. In fact the selection of spirits is mind boggling. Fantastic and the food that I saw looked outstanding. Really good experience thanks.

Some of the best ribs I've had outside the US. In a world full of bodeans, go to the Grey Horse. Would be good to have a choice on the brisket though, with BBQ as well as in the gravy. Still great though

Great find, fab food and service. Staff are friendly and help ful. Will be back.

Decided to take my son here after seeing a review on YouTube by Gary Eats. We had both decided that we wanted the beef rib but our server suggested the smoked combo which we decided against. We also ordered 2 sides of skinny fries and onion rings. The beef rib while tender was fairly bland and not much taste, the onion rings were good and plenty of them. I know this wasn't the restaurants fault but there was a guy sitting behind us who's every other word was the F word, not nice when the place is fairly empty and it was a friend of the server. Would I go back? Maybe if I was in the area.

Best veggie burger 🍔 in Kingston by a mile and atmosphere in Ram Jam was brilliant - would definitely recommend

Awesome pub, great cocktails, a huge whisky selection and a fantastic veggie/vegan burger. Also a great outside space + gig venue. Always a favourite

Has been my favourite bar in London for a long time now, its always worth the journey. Came here for my birthday, and the service was fantastic as always. You're always in good hands here, especially in terms of the Guinness. The whiskey selection is breathtaking. A special shout out to Harvey who raised the bar even higher than I thought possible. I'll be sure to be back soon!

Every time I come back to the Grey Horse, I'm increasingly impressed. Beyond the stellar bbq food, the breathtaking whiskey collection, the service is always flawless. Our server Harvey can only be described as a god send, gave us an unforgettable evening and accomodated for our every need. Thanks for the great memories and see you soon!

During my visit, I had the pleasure of sampling several dishes, and each one was a true delight. The smoked brisket, with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich, smoky flavor, was a standout favorite. Paired with tangy barbecue sauce and served with crispy fries and coleslaw, it was a hearty and satisfying meal that left me craving more. In addition to the exceptional food, the service at The Grey Horse - Smok'd was impeccable. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, providing recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of the dining experience was top-notch.

Great pub. Great Ribs etc. Massive Whiskey selection if that's your thing.

Was very good but quite expensive for what it was (15£ for a burger not including chips). I had been before and food wasn’t as good as I remembered but I had a chicken burger this time so maybe the bbq meats are the strength. I still probably would come back as the staff and vibe here is really nice, but maybe just for drinks

Really lovely and friendly staff, excellent food and decent prices - would deffo recommend!

Stupidly, I was so amazed when the food arrived I forgot to take any photos. I went for the full rack of baby-back ribs, which were delicious. Served with a couple of sides - skinny fries and house coleslaw, the glaze and house barbeque sauce were the perfect accompaniment. I'll definitely return to try other menu items and the gigs (comedy/music) in the venue/room at the back. Excellent, attentive service too + great selection of drinks, cocktails, and beers.

Great events, friendly staff. The food is amazing too

Went here for dinner at the weekend, we had burgers, ribs, halloumi and chicken wings with celery and blue cheese sauce, -no celery and no blue cheese sauce, quite a big part of buffalo wings, totally wouldn't have ordered them had we had know...we got some kind of garlic sauce which was unbelievably overpowering and quite frankly, abit gross.... This terrible garlic sauce was also put on our burger, again, it was SO over powering and completely ruined the burgers, who puts garlic sauce on burgers??!! Ended up taking the buns off and just eating the burger (which was good) .... We also had ribs which were great and everyone loved them, The staff were fantastic and the drinks were good. It's a great place, unfortunately half the food was ruined by smothering everything in garlic sauce. At least make it obvious on the menu that you put garlic sauce on a burger so people can say no thanks! As it stands, we wouldn't rush back for food, but its a nice place to have drink and the staff are lovely

LUNCH! We'd always thought of the Grey Horse as a great local evening option but today we tried them out for lunch. Amazing value (£10 each for lunch!), very friendly and thoughtful staff (we had our daughter with us and they were very kind to her) and a chilled vibe.

Starters were amazing! Burgers were small and average, doesn't come with chips (but chips were amazing!) Double gin and tonic is like £15min. Waitress was great! Attentive, informative, accommodating and funny!

Great burgers~ great comedy show thought Markus Birdman was fantastic- shame his act was spoilt by small minded people

Of the best, friendliest, fun pubs left in Kingston. Always warm and cosy.

Great smoked food and they have fun cocktails. They do comedy shows every Friday came for the show but thoroughly enjoyed the food

Tried the Sunday Roast (Sm'oast) with brisket and it was absolutely amazing! Also excellent service!

Delicious food, friendly service, good selection of cocktails and beers and stand up comedy every Friday. Great fun!

Incredible from start to finish Food was Incredible Service spot on Will be back very soon will friends

We went to the Grey Horse for a Comedy Show and there were no faults with the comedy, but unfortunately the venue and staff ruined the experience. We arrived a little bit early and there were no seats in the bar area or anywhere to stand (as this was in the way of the serving staff till). We noticed that there were 4 tables in the restaurant vacant and asked a member of staff if we could wait at one of the tables. She did try her best to accommodate and asked her manager but the manager said that we couldn't sit at the table because we had not booked the dining area and they told us to stand outside in the cold. They only cared about making money with no care for their customers. The whole time we waited the empty tables were not used. We went inside the Comedy show room at the back, when it opened and got good seats. However the staff cramped us into the room and tried to sit 6 people on a 3 person table, with no space to move, right next to the bar. They had obviously overbooked the venue and there were not enough seats for all of the attendees. Considering we paid over £40 (a lot more than any of the other Comedy shows nearby), this was not worth the money. The comedians were good, but you do also expect decent seating arrangements and fair customer service, when you pay that much. The experience made us feel very claustrophobic and difficult to enjoy. Save your money and go to a better venue like Dorking Halls Comedy instead.

The best food & drinks in Kingston , service is 10 stars plus. XxxX

Great vibe and excellent service .

Gone downhill and the draft is poor

Greatest whiskey selection I have ever seen!

Excellent evening with great customer service. Live music afterwards was good

An absolute gem of a place! Fabulous range of drinks and delicious food! Monday ribsfest is a firm favourite!

Amazing food, cocktails and service. must visit if in Kingston!
