The Prince Albert in Richmond upon Thames

Beautiful old world style pub with extensive outside seating and comfortable restaurant with an extensive Thai menu. The pub is tastefully decorated with an old world charm. Today was decorated for St. Patrick's day and even mid afternoon it had a celebratory atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Will definitely return ...

I VERY HIGHLY Recommend this Pub/ Restaurant.... Great Thai food and served 😋 very quickly 😋.. do not miss this opportunity to have dinner here....

Great food and atmosphere on a rugby day.

Nunca he estado aquí antes, así que me detuve a tomar algo. Era un pub encantador y agradable ambiente. Esperamos ir de nuevo, todos disfrutamos.

An excellent local pub with a brilliant Thai restaurant,great landlord always friendly staff with a good selection of beers & wine.

The most amazing Pad Thai. I definitely recommend this place for great Thai food

Acogedor pub, con el restaurante tailandés escondido en la parte trasera. ¡Se siente como una joya oculta! Servicio rápido y atento. Comida muy sabrosa. Empezamos con sopas, seguido del tigre llorón y la lubina con el brownie y los buñuelos de plátano para terminar. Muy buena relación calidad-precio y sin duda volveremos. Gracias equipo por cuidar de nosotros!

This place is always busy and popular with the locals. Excellent Thai food

Great place to have excellent Thai food and enjoy good service and big screen sports

Delicious Thai food . red curry, coconut rice and black and salt pepper squid dishes were unbelievably good

Very unpleasant experience as we had a baby with us who didnt remain quiet and did cry towards the end, and 3 old men decided it was appropriate to use foul language to encourage us to leave as they 'dont come out to listen to this' I would have hoped that old, middle class men would set a better example.

Tuvimos una comida maravillosa después del partido de rugby este fin de semana. Pudimos ver el rugby en una pantalla grande mientras disfrutamos de una maravillosa comida tailandesa. El servicio era genial y el ambiente era perfecto.

A friendly place with excellent Thai food and decent beer and wine too. Well worth a visit.

Very good massamam curry - hunks of casserole esque tender beef. Pad Thai good - tamarind flavours as it is meant to be and not compensated with lashings of palm sugar like in most places. Starter platter unfortunately the let down, not terrible but not good either. Would come again and go straight to mains.

I didn't eat in there, so can't comment about food. Friendly people

Really good meal out. Hadn't been here before. Buzzing pub/Thai restaurant (on a Friday night), all mixed together. Food was good, service and atmosphere, excellent.

Ken runs a fantastic team. No nonsense. The Thai restaurant is excellent. Great food.

Food was very good and so was the service.

Staff are fantastic and the beer 🍺 is always damn near perfect. Thai food is excellent and the service is great. Lovely decor and if you like sports it's all there.

Great Thai food and pub with outdoor garden space.

I have been coming here for a while every week or so for lunch menu; I’ve always enjoyed however every single time I order something with chicken I cannot eat it!! The taste and texture is so foul I cannot even swallow. It tastes like the cheapest possible peices of gone off frozen chicken to put it simply. I have mentioned it a few times but they have not acknowledged at all and I know I shouldn’t have gone back after first time I politely mentioned about the taste and visuals of the chicken. To conclude I went back to get an afternoon lunch menu firstly we waited around 10/15 for someone to take our order AFTER leaving the table to go and find someone to come and take our order I found her sitting at a table. Normally they take our drinks order at the same time as food at the table but today she said no go up to the bar and order and walked away ( nearly 5 years weekly customers never been asked to do this ) Anyway, once again I made the mistake of ordering Thai green curry with chicken, after the first bite of a peice of chicken I spat it out!!! I can’t express how disgusting it is and I can’t fathom how they have the cheek to serve it. The curry was tasteless and watery, such a shame. I did mention it once again very politely and discreetly at the end of the meal when I was paying so it did not cause a scene, I did not expect anything such as refund but maybe just an apology as I did not eat any of the curry, just rice. I showed them all the chicken and curry of course left in the bowl and told them about the chicken, she stared at me for about 6 seconds and said can’t you choose something else next time like beef or prawn. No apology, empathy or customer service skills whatsoever. My mum whom I was with and witnessed this was also a very loyal regular customer and we have agreed we would never return after this. On the other hand the lady behind the car in the pub area was so sweet and friendly. Made such a difference to the other end of the pub in the Thai restaurant.

Great pub great service great everything probably the best pub in Twickenham all credit to the staff and management

Great pie with a good selection of ales.

I've been coming here for years, honestly one of the best thai places around. The atmosphere is great. It's a thai restaurant at the back of a pub. You can sit in the pub or garden for a mixture of the two or sit in the designated restaurant area. The staff are really accommodating with the food. They will make sure that something is Gluten Free, vegetarian or if you want something less spicy they will tone down the spice level. The food is also really tasty and reasonably priced.

Hubo una vez —ahora solo un recuerdo lejano y nebuloso— en que el restaurante tailandés Prince Albert en Fulwell era un faro de esperanza en un paisaje dominado por tiendas de pescado y patatas fritas y pollerías tan grasientas que hacen que el Exxon Valdez parezca ecológico. Era una joyita de sabor exótico en un mar de mediocridad, donde los rollitos de primavera eran crujientes, los fideos fragantes, y el servicio venía con una sonrisa en lugar de un ceño fruncido. Eso fue, por supuesto, *antes del apocalipsis*. Parece que en algún momento de la última década, el príncipe Alberto tomó la audaz decisión de abandonar por completo la cocina, el servicio y todo el concepto de hospitalidad. Lo que queda es la trágica cáscara de un restaurante que claramente ha perdido no solo su alma sino también su capacidad de operar cualquier cosa, incluso remotamente, que se parezca a una cocina. Este lugar ya no es tanto un restaurante como una especie de obra de arte escénico, una especie de dadaísmo culinario donde nada tiene sentido y todo lo que te queda es una sensación de temor existencial. Empecemos con los rollos de primavera, ¿de acuerdo? Ya sabes, esos pequeños paquetes de alegría dorada frita que están destinados a ser la droga de entrada a las delicias de la cocina tailandesa. Bueno, aquí no. Lo que te presentan en Prince Albert’s son más como los primos adoptivos perdidos de los rollos de primavera: cilindros empapados de aceite y cartón empapado. Cada bocado es menos una exploración del sabor tailandés y más una prueba de resistencia culinaria sombría. ¿El relleno? Un misterio que es mejor dejar sin resolver. En un momento dado, creo que probé algo que podría haber sido repollo, pero de nuevo, podría haber estado alucinando, suplicando que el más mínimo toque de sabor emergiera de esta parodia profunda y frita. Si el gris tenía sabor, sería este rollo de primavera. Y por £ 7 , bien podría haber enrollado una moneda de diez centavos y comer eso en su lugar — habría sido más barato y probablemente más nutritivo. Luego, por supuesto, está el servicio, que se ha transformado de amable y acogedor a algo parecido a entrar en un puesto de control militar hostil. El personal parece sentirse ofendido personalmente por su propia existencia, como si su mera presencia en el restaurante fuera un profundo inconveniente para su tarea mucho más apremiante de quedarse parado y no hacer absolutamente nada. Si tienes la suerte de llamar la atención de un servidor, es un poco como tratar de aclamar a un adolescente descontento en una reunión familiar: una renuencia a barajar hacia tu mesa, seguido de una expresión que claramente dice: “Preferiría estar en cualquier lugar menos aquí, e idealmente en un universo donde nunca tengo que interactuar contigo”. ¿Sonrisas? No hay oportunidad. ¿Recomendaciones? No me hagas reír. Si pides uno, te tratarán con una mirada en blanco que de alguna manera sugiere tanto profundo desdén como completo desconcierto. Tendrías más posibilidades de recibir consejos para comer de una roca. Cuando pedí el Pad Thai, la camarera me miró como si le hubiera pedido que realizara una cirugía dental de emergencia con palillos. Ella lo garabateó sin siquiera la cortesía del contacto visual y volvió a la cocina. Cuando el plato finalmente llegó, parecía —y sabía— que había sido preparado por alguien que solo había oído hablar de Pad Thai de pasada, tal vez en un sueño particularmente poco inspirador. Los fideos eran una coagulación profana de la horca, enredados juntos en un bulto pegajoso y gelatinoso que tenía que ver prácticamente con mi tenedor. Los camarones, demasiado cocidos hasta el punto de ser gomosos, podrían haberse doblado fácilmente como bandas elásticas en un apuro. La cuña de cal a un lado estaba tan seca que parecía que había sido recuperada de una antigua excavación arqueológica. Lo único “tailandés” era el nombre en el menú. Pero aquí es donde las cosas se pusieron realmente especiales. A mitad de la comida, cometí el error de novato de pedir un poco de chile extra. Aparentemente, esta fue una transgresión imperdonable. El servidor regresó con un pequeño plato de escamas rojas secas que se parecía sospechosamente al tipo que encuentras en la parte trasera de un armario polvoriento cuando te mudas a una casa nueva. Ella lo golpeó sobre la mesa con tal fuerza que realmente temía por la vajilla. “Aquí”, escupió con el entusiasmo de alguien que entregaba una citación judicial. En ese momento, ni siquiera estaba seguro de si era chile o los restos desecados de un cliente anterior que se había atrevido a pedir especias adicionales. El gran final de esta noche farsa fue el postre. En contra de mi juicio, pedí el plátano frito. Llegó envuelto en una masa tan floja y poco apetitosa que parecía que había sido envuelto en una toalla húmeda antes de ser medio - de todo corazón mojado en aceite. He tenido postres más satisfactorios en McDonald’s. El plátano, por su parte, había renunciado a la voluntad de vivir mucho antes de que llegara al plato, sus restos turbios ofrecían tanta dulzura como una auditoría fiscal. Pero la verdadera pieza de resistencia llegó cuando llegó el proyecto de ley, con un florecimiento final de grosería. La camarera lo arrojó sobre la mesa y se fue soplando sin dar las gracias. Y no, no esperes esa clásica línea divisoria de “¿Te gustó tu comida?” Saben que no lo hiciste. Todos en ese edificio saben que no lo hiciste. Ellos saben exactamente lo que han hecho, y no les importa. De hecho, sospecho que sienten algún tipo de placer perverso por tu sufrimiento. Al menos disfrutaron de la noche. En conclusión, Prince Albert’s ya no es un restaurante en el sentido tradicional. Es un monumento a la incompetencia culinaria y a la muerte del servicio al cliente. Ahórrate el trabajo. Vete a casa. Pide una pizza. O mejor aún, ve al parque y busca bayas silvestres; tendrás una comida mucho más auténtica y deliciosa, y las ardillas probablemente serán más educadas.

Food was delicious, server seemed overwhelmed. Regardless, delicious food = 5 stars

What a lovely place to sit and eat. Great prices and atmosphere. The food tasted better than I expected. We loved the food. Great find in Twickenham. Were be back soon. Thanks guys

Tuvimos una noche maravillosa con la familia de Australia. La comida era excepcional como siempre. La familia en el extranjero dijo que habían sido sorprendidos por la comida. La única queja fue que un miembro del personal mientras nos atendía hizo un comentario delante de un miembro de la familia en tailandés que entendieron mientras hablaban el idioma, y dijo que era TAN GROSERO. Estaban muy enojados pero como era una reunión familiar no querían hacer una escena.

Great local pub with friendly staff and Thai kitchen. Plenty of space out the back - both covered and open.

Mine and my partners absolute favourite Thai place <3 highly recommend, very good prices too! Get the starter 2A - you won’t regret it!

Thai pub food does not get better than the PA. Ok so I was there on a quiet Sunday but the food just zings. Went for the shared platter for 2 as a starter; wow it popped. Prawn toast that tasted of actual seafood! Spring rolls so crispy and oh so succulent chicken. I was boring & went for the green chicken curry with a shared bowl of coconut rice (you do not need one each). Great spice levels, homely and the sticky rice was fab. £35 for starter, main and a pint. I’d only ever been here boozing after rugby, too many years wasted not eating here! Oh, and the team looking after me were fab. Great service. For the food alone this is worth a visit any day.

Awful service! Waiters were rude and seemed aggressive and the manager had an awful temper. Not only this but the food was mediocre, felt like eating a microwaved meal left to sit for 20 minuites and the whole place smelt like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks!

Horrific service, ignorant staff who were rude, would not return!

Freshly cooked and good quality products. Full of flavour.

Met a former colleague for a few beers and dinner. Excellent Thai food cooked well and really authentic. Pub quiet enough for a Thursday evening but restaurant understandably busy. I will definitely be back.

Another exceptional evening with friends and family. Food was as usual of high quality. Looking forward to introducing my family members from Australia to the exceptional food and service you provide.

Great beer, great service and wonderful food all in one location. Who could ask for anything more?

The lady name Mrs Nee who served for our dimmer table is super excellent

Excellent Thai food. Very friendly service. Definitely recommended.

Literally this pub serves the best Thai food ever!! Been coming here for years even after moving to Devon Their prices have gone way up but so has everything in life and to be honest the food is so worth it. The only complaint I have is we had booked an early table 5.15-7.15 We did not want to sit down and eat until 6 and I let them know we were just outside having a drink. The lady who I spoke to was very rude rolling her eyes saying we must sit down now .. (the place was absolutely empty) Then she sat us down in the worst seat ever .. right in the middle with no one else in the whole restaurant.. I asked to move to the side table and again got the look of annoyance and was told she would have to change the entire seating plan for the whole night if we moved to that table We did move anyway And was out the restaurant before anyone had come in still So that’s why I gave four stars .. customer service was bad but based on food 5 stars all the way!!!

Quality Thai food great atmosphere especially when major sporting events are on huge outdoor area

The Thai kitchen here is first class. The pub is also very nice for a drink or two. But the Thai food is legit, been several times and it's often full, and even more encouraging - a LOT of Thai people eat there. One of the best Thai restaurants in London at the moment.

Came here on the 26/05/2024, best Thai food that I have tried recently. Definitely will be back here soon.

The food is not that authentic, tried to order grapao rice but was told that the meat is not minced as is done in Thailand but sliced and they cannot do a fried egg on top as is also done in Thailand. The waitress said that the chefs do not have time to fry the egg during busy times which did not make send at all since it was not busy and surely frying a egg takes no longer than cooking any other dish.

2024 update Back this lunchtime and was looking forward to trying the Thai food once again. My friend and I both had the Chef's Special King Prawn panang and the prawns didn't taste fresh. I've had an upset stomach since. Food, it appears remains disappointing although the service and atmosphere were good. ----------------------------------------------------- Not as good as it used to be. Meagre on the portions and service was not particularly good. This was once my beloved regular so, disappointed.

Lovely pub, ideal for a sunny spring afternoon with mates after the rugby.

It's been my favourite takeaway for years! I have never sat down but always as takeaway and never disappointed! Not only best Thai food from Twickenham,but hands down,best Thai food I found in the UK!I moved to Kingston few years ago and still come every now and then to get some food from here.I have never found better. Their portions are very big and the yellow noodles with prawns are very generous!!Massive grilled prawns ! The staff is always nice,never had an issue, actually the few ladies that had serving me past few times were very nice and sweet!

Very pleasant atmosphere, good outside sitting, standard Fuller's drinks available. Friendly staff.

Probably the only good Thai restaurant left in the whole borough. Would definitely recommend.

Right. The food here is amazing. So fresh, full of flavour and delicious. The staff were fab. We wanted to take our time and have a relaxing Sunday afternoon meal. They let us order course by course rather than ordering everything at once. The cocktails too, were great. I had the house one and it was delicious. Unfortunately, some of the clientele let this place down. First, we had a table with an extended family behind us. They had obviously been in the pub a while and the children were getting bored and restless - which isn't the children's fault. They were running around the pub, almost colliding with waiting staff on several occasions. One child decided it would be fun to run at the back of the bench seat we were sitting on and crash into it. All the adults in the group did was to threaten to leave for about an hour. Finally they left, thank goodness! Then arrived a very loud, crass man who only seemed to be able to speak at shouting level. At no point did any of the staff or management speak to any of these customers, and considering we were in the 'restaurant' section of the pub, you would have thought they would want their diners to have a better experience. My advice would be, definitely order takeaway.

We had such a great evening at the Prince Albert. Our waitress ‘A’ was divine – she was so much fun and made our evening really enjoyable. The food was absolutely amazing – the Massaman curry was top-notch and the wine selection was great. The place was absolutely pumping so clearly very popular. We will definitely be back!

Wouldn’t put the TV on and made some silly excuse that it won’t work when I’ve literally seen it on before (the pub side).

A fantastic pub. The atmosphere is wonderful.

Always great food and service. My number one place to go for Thai.

I've missed visiting this pub, despite having lived in the area for 30 years, but at least I've now corrected that omission. Only had a beer, but the atmosphere felt very welcoming.

All the staff are extremely lovely and kind, the food always tastes the best and it’s such a cosy pub/restaurant with an amazing atmosphere!

We had a Thai meal here for first time today and it was really good, so tasty, looking forward to coming back

Thai food is supposed to be an explosion of flavours. Whilst I was really excited about this place, I left feeling underwhelmed. Satay chicken was bland, and the peanut sauce was refrigerator cold. Salt and pepper squid was 90% batter, 10% squid Sizzling tiger steak was ok, but absolutely nothing special and a bit under seasoned. Pad kra pow was not authentic - meat wasn’t minced, too saucy, no fried egg. Overall we left rating this a 6/10 at a push The food isn’t “bad” by any means, it’s just so far from the quality of many other Thai restaurants

Loved the food, even though we did feel a little rushed!! I think it was because we didn't get a table booked until 9:15 but they do give you a two hour slot!! Really testy thai food though .....

A great pub good selection of beers, and the food is first class. Thoroughly recommend it here if your in Twickenham.

Good beer and Thai food,in which they do a roaring trade even midweek.

Edit 21.03.2024 : I appreciate your time and response to my review. The restaurant was not busy when we visited. The extra charge was not waived, but that's is not an issue. I have never come across this additional charge before. Thank you for clarifying the pricing during rugby days. All the best. The behavior of the restaurant staff is extremely unpleasant and not professional as it used to. The staff lacked attentiveness when taking our order, and despite ordering two portions, we only received one. Additionally they charged an extra pound for each side order of chillies, which is completely unacceptable as i asked on thie side rather inside the dish. The chillies are included in the meal. Furthermore, previously when I requested mild spice levels, the food turned out to be excessively spicy.

Lovely friendly pub with very good selection of beers. Staff great.

Great Thai food serve in good portions. Dogs are allowed too.

Food made me feel very ill an hour after eating and not suitable for gluten free options!

Lovely place with delicious food and very friendly and welcoming staff !

A good atmosphere and very good Thai food.Never disappoints.

We went here for a Valentine’s meal as we get Thai food every year. Since my partner has moved to London, we asked for recommendations for somewhere new. The food did not disappoint, the vegan pad thai was delicious and spot on – not to mention the fact it was brought to our table in no time at all. What let down my overall experience was the fact I had clearly asked – and pointed to on the menu – for a non-alcoholic cider. My order was also spoken back to me. After I finished my meal, I had this odd feeling to check the bottle and, to my dismay, saw it was the alcoholic version. I hadn’t drank alcohol in 6 months as I can’t on my medication so this was incredibly disappointing and ruined the night for me. Hopefully this mistake will mean they’ll check in the future.

Had an even meal, starters, and a 2 bottles of the house red, with the service charge £195, this was a nice cheap and lovely meal for us now I'd a place we'd worry about going again. It has raised the prices over the cost of living.

Lovely food and great service. Lovely staffs. Highly recommended.

We were there to have Thai food which was very nice. The bar lady was friendly and the restaurant staff were helpful with the vegetarian choices. Pity that the curries are all made with fish sauce. My pad Thai was very nice and not oily at all. The crispy rolls as startes were also nice and again, not oily at all. I will come back and I would recommend it. We went on Sunday afternoon which was not busy but I guess it is best to book. We had to vacate our table as it was apparently booked for another guest even when the place was empty. This is why I gave 4 starts as we felt that they wanted to get rid of us at the end. We spent £25 for main courses, 2 pints, starter and 2 teas.

First visit this afternoon with a group of 8, I’d never had Thai food before and wasn’t sure what to expect … Well - absolutely outstanding! Great food, really tasty and exceptional service from the staff. Was a really enjoyable dining experience. We’ll definitely be back soon, highly recommend

Delicious food, friendly staff and quick service. 👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. The food was amazing! I definitely recommend the noodles! The staff were very friendly and kind. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

Great pub, Thai restaurant is fantastic and good value with very friendly staff.

Went here new years eve had some lovely thai food and a few drinks listening to a great two piece band

Great food, atmosphere with outdoor and indoor seating.

Great pub great staff great locals and fabulous beer and Thai food

Food and drinks always excellent and at sensible prices. Staff are also excellent.

Pleasant staff, food a little over prices maybe. OK selection of beer and wine.

Food was really good, staff were nice and it’s a nice atmosphere. Noodles and starters were great, wouldn’t bother getting the weeping tiger though that was pretty disappointing.

This is a lovely pub with brilliantly trained staff. The problem it has is that it seems to be the preferred pub for the local coke head loud mouth dickhe@ds. You don't want to see large groups of lads marching on mass to the gents for their next snort of marching powder and then when you walk in see them all scuttle off into the single cubicle for a snort. There are families with kids having meals in the restaurant. This pub needs to decide whether it's a family pub or the sink pub for those whose behaviour wouldn't be tolerated in any of the near alternatives. It can't be both.

I love the food here. Such a treat for me to have so much choice of vegan food. My meat eating friends love dining here too. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere really relaxing.

Wow, this was amazing. An excellent quality and delicious Thaï meal just before heading off to watch Quins v Saracens at The Stoop.

Nice Thai meal. Good selection of beers Covered garden space

Lovely Thai food, with good portions and efficient staff.

Always a pleasure to eat here food is always cooked and served in a timely fashion. The hosts are very warm friendly and attentive nothing is a problem. It's quieter in the week and worth booking in advance especially on weekend and event days as there always sport on the large screen tv's. Has indoors and outdoors seating and bar area so lots choices of seating. Thai red curry and pad Thai are but a few tasty options and vegan choices. Going back soon. Thank once again for a great evening. DWD No t dog friendly tho

I had food delivered and it was all delicious. If I am in the area definetely will be back for more.

The food was awful.. Chicken looked like it had either been microwaved or boiled. Unfortunately one of the worst thai foods I've ever had.. Service was poor too.

Went to the Thai restaurant section. Okay place. Food was medium, a little bland. Servers were okay, however did come when we finally got their attention.

Lovely pub with great outdoor space and tasty Thai food. Not a cheap place but the quality is reflected in the price. Brilliant vegan options.

When I came in my family, we were basically ignored by staff members. When we finally got seated we ordered food which came out slightly cold. The rest of my family thought the food was okay but in general the experience was mediocre. Definitely not what it used to be, can’t say I’ll be coming back.

Really lovely Thai food. The creamy coconut rice goes sooo well with the flamey stir-fry and flavoursome curry, yum

The Thai food is lovely, very clean an the restaurant bit is away from the bar area so that's also really good

Excellent service and amazingly delicious food

Great pub, lovely staff and food is excellent

fabulous food..lovely garden area.

Lovely Thai food, with great outdoor space.

Arrived at 9pm, had great dinner (steak) at Thai restaurant, then got told to move to the outside area of the Prince Albert. Had a drink then had to move inside. Then had to move inside. Make sure you go long before 9pm

Awful meal this evening , the duck curry was horrible and the coconut rice was soggy , mixed meat pad Thai was discussing too won’t be coming back here again
