The Ram in Kingston upon Thames

Amazing atmosphere & quality selection of beers, wines and spirits!

So loud due to the rugby match, ordered fries nearly 20 mins ago. Still waiting on one portion???? Not worth it guys

Very poor Sunday Roast today. Everything overcooked or dry, despite it being early in the day. No flavour at all. Very questionable orange gravy with tomato or paprika or something? Yorkshire puddings crunchy like crackers. Meat dry and chewy. Veg sloppy and overcooked. Thanks for one complimentary drink after we sent back more than half our food but overall not worth the £50 we spent.

Normal town pub Nothing special

Great pub with friendly staff and a nice vibe. Food was good enough and there is a decent selection of beers and other drinks. We'll be back.

As a discerning beer drinker the beer list was exceedingly dull and the prices were comparable to central London . It's a small establishment that lacks character and comes across as being somewhat pretentious. There are far better places to drink in the area

No better pub to make your new local. Great food, great drinks, and Mariana and the team are just wonderful! Always go above and beyond. Quiz nights are also a must try!

Nice & cozy pub with a couple of lovely leather armchairs in front of a fire in winter and a beer garden more suited to warmer weather.. nice staff & a good cider on tap.

Lovely service, delicious food, cosy atmosphere!

Just wanted to send compliments to the chef on January 25th lunchtime...the sea bass was easily the best I've ever had. Thank you!

£5 for 5 chicken wings and was delicious - friendly staff as well 😊 Shame the pub was empty

Nice pub on the river with good food and great selection of drinks. Plenty of outdoor seating with nice river views.

Great pub - not too busy and nice location. Recommend 🎈

I went to The Ram every day for 4 weeks whilst on business in Kingston. The amazing - I have to shout out Anna, George, Ella and Alyssa for their work and friendliness. This is a really lovely pub next to the river - nice in the summer - but equally has a fire which was more appropriate during my stay here. The food is great, brilliant selection of beers, and the staff are extremely welcoming. Check it out. Very close to to town centre but off the beaten track, lovely place.

I spent 4 weeks in Kingston on business and visited The Ram for lunch almost every day. It’s a fantastic place, just off the town centre, on the river, with great selection of beers and a lovely fire. The staff were exceptionally friendly - my thanks to Anna, Ella, George, Alyssa and Sasha! - and the food is very good. Highly recommended. One of the, if not the, best pubs in Kingston

Mariana and Maddie were so busy but gave the best service I have had in a pub in years. All of the colleagues at the Ram are fantastic and that's why it is now my favourite venue in Kingston. Excellent.

Saturday evening, approx 10 to 7; lucky to walk in & find a dining table free instantly, despite 2 large tables reserved for a party. This is a lovely pub - nicely decked out! Very friendly service, good prices &, more importantly, most excellent food! We shared the aromatic mushroom on crumpet starter, & both chose the monkfish & prawn curry, with a shared butter sweetheart cabbage accompaniment - all absolutely delicious; curry not too hot, & perfectly sized portions. Particularly excellent for me was to find dishes made without dairy milk but not having to choose the vegan option. We didn't notice any dessert menu but with the wonderful taste of the curry, & the memory of the sauce the mushrooms in the starter was cooked in, both lingering on our tastebuds, we didn't want anything else. Anna was such a lovely attentive host with the food & at the bar, + allowing me an extra slug of elderflower cordial when I confessed to liking it strong. I had chosen this pub for food based on an online menu I'd seen, & although a particular interesting dish was no longer on the menu, this didn't matter a bit as the choices were fine, & it's good to know that the menu is updated for variety. We're thinking of coming back again for the Christmas menu, & neither of us live in the vicinity (we were in Kingston for the theatre, from way north of the river). Definitely worth travelling for, & Kingston upon Thames is lovely to walk around anyway. *Edit: We did return for Xmas dinner & it was fab. Seems Google won't let me write another review, but I've detailed the excellent experience on Trip Advisor.

Excellent Xmas dinner Friday 20th December, group of 4. Pre-booked food choices. The pub had a really festive feel with lots of customers in a good mood, the booked tables ready with a glittering runner & Xmas crackers - quality ones with nice little wooden & paper novelties & no nasty plastic toys inside. The staff we interacted with were superb. They were all really relaxed, friendly, & went out of their way to ensure we were well attended to, & they didn't rush us despite 3 of us being a bit late for our booking. Anna, the bar manager, & George deserve particular mention. They really take pride in their work & genuinely want everyone to have a good experience. + The chef & kitchen staff did a fabulous job too. The starter & main course menus had really good options & our dishes were delicious. There were good enough vegan options if required. I need lactose free food, & the roasted cauliflower soup followed by the haunch of venison with potatoes 'Pommes Anna' & Cavelero Nero was perfect for me. The venison was really succulent, very lean, & tasted amazing. I've only eaten this meat once before & I hadn't been that impressed but having experienced The Ram's excellent food previously, I'd thought, if any kitchen was going to source good quality cuts then this one would, & it didn't disappoint. 1 friend chose the duck rillette followed by the venison, & the other 2 chose the smoked trout followed by the traditional turkey dinner. Everyone really enjoyed their choices. My only criticism was in the choice of desserts - all down to the overseeing brewery, Greene King. I had already discussed lactose-free menu options by email & on the phone with Anna, & had pointed out that the desserts were very dairy heavy - 3 options with a milk based accompaniment & no coconut or soya alternative offered nor could be made available on request, + the cheese board - obviously also all dairy. There was only 1 vegan option - a chocolate & caramel based dessert that contained peanuts, to which I'm not allergic but I dislike the smell & taste. I understand that such a kitchen is very busy & can't accommodate every personal requirement but I do get a bit wearisome of the corporate lack of acknowledgement of lactose intolerance which is a lot more common than many may realise. The standard allergen info for pub/restaurant food here doesn't help as it classifies even low lactose foods such as butter & Cheddar cheese as milk based - butter is fine for a lacto-free diet as no lactose remains & it's really all fat. +Many people are vegan these days & there wasn't even a healthy fruit salad or compôte as an option. We had agreed earlier however that the best thing for me was to have the Xmas pudding but bring my own vegan custard - that Anna agreed to heat up to serve instead of the dairy based brandy sauce. That was really very kind of her indeed! She didn't need to put herself out to do that but she did with no hesitation to agree to it. The portions were all just the right size - not too much, considering it was a 3 course meal. All in all, it was a really nice dining experience. We'll no doubt be back at some point even though it means a bit of a journey from north London. It's worth it.

We first came here a few months previously after a visit to the theatre, and the food was so good we decided to come back for our Xmas meal. The food was outstanding again, I don't think I have ever eaten better in a pub. I had the duck rillette, followed by the venison, ending with the Xmas pudding. All of it was mouth watering, especially so the venison. The table service was exemplary, the staff were obviously taking pride in their work, and rightly so, given the very high standard of the food. One of our party has a food intolerance and the manager Anna (apologies if I have remembered her name incorrectly!) was most helpful. The overall service given was of the highest standard. My only criticisms were really out of the control of the restaurant staff. One was the very high background noise level, but it was the Friday before Xmas! The other revolved around the lack of Xmas menu choice for vegans, especially in the desserts section, where the only vegan option contained peanuts, the most well-known food allergen! The kitchen was restricted by the chain owners' set menu. Greene King take note!

Popped in for a Christmas drink with the family. Lovely cosy atmosphere, roaring fire, warm and lively, had a mulled wine at the bar, served by a very polite young man George who was busy but still made time to be friendly!

Alyssa was such a delight, she made us feel so welcome and really made sure we had a great experience

Sasha provided an amazing service for us all night.

Lovely food, good ambiance and our waiter George was lovely and made sure everything we wanted was seen to with haste.

We went to the Ram for some Christmas drinks and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The communication was great when agreeing on details and menu options with the general manager Anna. On the day we were greeted by Mariana that looked after us all evening. The atmosphere was lively but not too loud. It was the best costumer service we had in years. Thank you to all the team. We will definitely be coming back.

Good food, a little pricy for what you get but tasted good. Cosy atmosphere but typical pub. Think from reviews I was expecting more. Service was excellent.

The Sunday roast lamb was really poor and the crumble was appalling. The place has gone down the pan since my glowing review here two years ago. I don't mind paying high prices for quality food but £23.50 for the roast lamb was a joke.

Mariana was fantastic and made sure the night was special for us with the service and personality that she brought to our experience

Came in for a nice quiet one and Mariana was very kind and helpful with the difficult selection of beers! Thanks!

Marianna was amazing. Absolutely made the evening. She was attentive, friendly and the food was excellent.

Went into The Ram and had a great time! Service was amazing! Thank you Mariana! Will be back!

Love this pub.great quiz, great staff. Great night out

Perfect spot by the river not far from the city centre

Lovely staff! Don’t have seek anyone out, they come to you and ask - super easy, super lovely.

Marianna was such a pleasure to be served by, she was friendly, attentive, gave quick service and made a definite return customer today! Lovely pub made better by her :)

Great atmosphere lovely bar staff, food is good good recommend

Mariana was amazing ! Quick amazing and polite

Great pub in a great location. Live music was brilliant too. Left an item in the pub and Anna was amazing posting it back to me as well. Thank you. Highly recommend.

Very busy- even at 5pm. Great menu and good food. Only thing was the Monkfish and prawn curry had very little fish in it and the advertised crispy samphire did not arrive. After mentioning the waitress did not charge for this main - so was very reasonable.

Go for the location and a drink, skip the food. I'm a regular. I used to be even more of a regular before they got rid of the quiz on a Sunday (it never came back after Covid). There is a very large selection of (very expensive) beers. The staff a decent, although the long waits at the bar can become tiresome. The food is super-mid and overpriced. Give it a skip. The inside is semi-traditional (yes, this was gutted a while back to look like a gastro pub), with large tables that can cater to large groups. There is regularly live music and a good vibe (the bouncers on a Saturday make sure of it). Where it shines (no pun intended) is outside. The location is a 10/10 especially in the summer - warning when the sun is out, those long waits at the bar quadruple in time. After eating somewhere else, grab yourself a beer and go outside!

Eight of us (plus dog!) had a great Sunday lunch at the Ram. They have a good/wide selection of beers; the food was very good (I would highly recommend the beef roast , tho all roasts were good and the double burgers were very popular at our table!) and most importantly all the Ram team were friendly and helpful, creating a good relaxed Sunday vibe. Thanks John

What a lovely pub on the river in Kingston. A good selection of beers to enjoy in the large back garden...a real treat for early November!

Lovely place! Although I think it’s quite unprofessional for a staff member with pink hair to be drinking behind the bar with a pint of Guinness on show. I know it’s a pub but that’s not professional at all…

Popped in after dropping my son off to a nearby college. Amazing fish and chips and a great selection of beers. Friendly and efficient service. Garden looked like it would get packed in summer but was quiet on a drab October afternoon. Great location by the river though, would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Even in October, the patio at the ram is a great way to kill a Saturday afternoon.

Marks was great! Lovely food too! Thanks so much.

Great atmosphere and staff. Saw Woody Wasey play there. Big up for live music 🎶

What a contrast to the boaters. Exceptional service. We felt like vip’s. It is Kingston central so lively noisy and full of life but the food is delicious, higher standard than you would expect for a regular pup. Highly reccomend Ed.

We visit regularly and yesterday had the worst service I've experienced at any pub.2 staff members were having a very loud conversation at the bar with a lot of swearing and were ignoring customers and laving dirty glasses on tables for so long we eventually took them to the bar ourselves. If a young guy with dark hair and a moustache, and a young blonde girl are working then run because you will get zero service from them!! Very disappointed but found another lovely pub to frequent instead.

If you’re looking for a cozy riverside pub with great food, excellent service, and a relaxed ambience, this spot is a gem. The menu offers a variety of well-prepared dishes, with fresh ingredients and generous portions. The staff is attentive and friendly, making sure you’re well taken care of. The setting by the river adds a lovely touch, whether you’re seated indoors or on the outdoor terrace. Plus, if you’re a dog owner, it’s the perfect spot—pet-friendly and welcoming to four-legged friends, with plenty of space for them to relax. Highly recommended for a great meal or drinks with your furry companion!

An amazing place with traditional atmosphere of England, a spirit of life by the river. Absolutely tasty beer and cider. Thanks to all friendly staff for time spending there in nowadays busy life.

Top class Service ,, I am a regular customer and Always the manager Anna makes sure I am served well .. I also witnessed her comforting other customer and making dure sure the pub and the garden very well cleaned..I can not fault . Recommended

The service was brillant! We love being here!

Wonderful location, nice atmosphere and super food. Impressive range of beers and the sticky beef cheek flatbread with wasabi mayo was delicious 😋. The staff were exceptional, especially, Isabel who was very charming and extremely attentive.

Absolutely incredible place with great food and very professional and lovely people The best in the area - highly recommended

Review: Ram Pub Steak Sandwich – wow! The steak sandwich at the Ram Pub is nothing short of extraordinary. Not sure whether to order it as pub steak sandwiches have often let me down . But from the first bite it was clear that this wasn’t your average steak sandwich. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender and juicy, with every bite seemingly melting in my mouth. It’s rare to find a sandwich where the steak holds its own, but this one absolutely shines. What stood out most was the quality of the steak itself. It wasn’t chewy or tough like most pub sandwiches can be; instead, it was as if the steak had been carefully chosen and expertly prepared. Each bite was packed with flavor, making it a truly memorable sandwich experience. If you’re a steak lover or just someone who appreciates a well-crafted sandwich, the Ram Pub’s steak sandwich is a must-try. It’s a perfect example of comfort food done right—simple, delicious, perfect.

Superb pub, amazing host and manager outstanding food too . A must visit !!!

Saturday evening, approx 10 to 7; lucky to walk in & find a dining table free instantly, despite 2 large tables reserved for a party. This is a lovely pub, very comfortable seats, & nicely decked out. Not too noisy either; conversation was not a strain here (as it can be in some places where music, & therefore clientele, can get too loud). Very friendly service, good prices &, more importantly, most excellent food! We shared the aromatic 'ssamjang' mushroom on crumpet starter, & both chose the Malabar monkfish & prawn curry, with a shared buttered sweetheart cabbage accompaniment - all absolutely delicious; curry not too hot, & perfectly sized portions.

Little pub in the middle of Kingston, my boyfriend and I both had the burger, very tasty and juicy. Service on point too!

Anna was brilliant! She went out of her way to find us a nice table when they were very busy. The food was lovely too.

Amazing atmosphere and great service by Anna and her team ♥️

Mariana was amazing the Jubel was amazing and the music was incredible

Great Sunday roast, tasty dessert and nice beer and wine. Will come back

Great night at the Ram. Wonderful food. Bar staff were amazing. Sasha was a delight and incredibly professional. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely roast. The staff are very friendly and the service was quick. We'll be coming back again in the future.

Lovely friendly staff and gorg roast

Great food, great service (thankyou Tom - particularly for your very knowledgeable beer recommendations) and a lovely riverside location. Hopefully on our next visit the sun will shine and we can enjoy the outdoor river side seating.

We had a fantastic family roast today, a cozy atmosphere on a grey day. Thank you Tom for your friendly service.

Anna was lovely. Very helpful with changing my order and helping with getting a table. Very friendly.

Fun atmosphere and great view just by the river

such a lovely pub with a great atmosphere perfect to have a catch up in ! the staff were all extremely helpful, we were helped at the bar by george who gave some good wine recommendations.

We had the best Sunday Roast porchetta, was so amazing I’ve even ate the kale! so tasty and perfectly cooked! Mariana was fantastic, super knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. She gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing service! We were early-b4 opening time- but made to feel very welcome and served on the dot! Fab food and Mariana made our day.

Mariana is amazing, so friendly and amazing service Definitely recommend, food is yummy and drinks a reasonable price

Amazing spot by the river to have a good meal and some nice beers with friends. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. Looking forward to visit again soon.

Great pub. Really good pub atmosphere inside, outdoor area that goes down to the river. No sports TV!!!!!

It's always nice to be greeted with a smile and Mariana is truly lovely and welcoming.

I had an amazing time thanks to Sasha! She was very friendly and her service was exceptional. She went above and beyond to make our experience wonderful. I will definitely be visiting The Ram again!

Great pub experience and friendly staff. Sasha was really helpful in providing suggestions for food and drink; and service by her was fantastic! Would highly recommend!

Stopped for drinks whilst boating asking the river. Clean pub, nice toilets and fab garden right in the river. Close to Hampton court palace.

We had lunch at the Ram on a Bank Holiday Monday. We managed to si outdoor, which was lovely. I had the avocado, salmon and mango salad - a bit small, but it was just a starter -but delicius. Mum had the fish and chips which was really good too. Mariana was very nice and attentive, and we had a great time :)

Never had the food but I meet a friend here regularly for a couple of drinks. Service is always friendly and staff are always pleasant. The atmosphere is so cosy and lovely, I recommend this place if you’re meeting friends/family or even going by yourself!

Great location and a good laugh from their signature drink "Rammed". Tastes decent too

We had the vegan options on the menu and all have been very tasty. It was fairly busy but still we did not wait long to be served. Food and drinks have been served fast. The overall food was in a better quality than regular pub food. We will definitely be back again

Great place to enjoy tasty food, good staff and drinks. Nice atmosphere and also thanks to Marianna helping me to choose the food. Will come back soon

Lovely place, friendly staff. Good outdoors seating area however need to make more people aware that the outside (above the wooden outdoors area) is technically ‘woodys’ and not theirs, as I went here for a friends birthday in the outside area, wasn’t told about it as we bought drinks and sat there. Ultimately we got removed from the area (woodys top area) which ruined the evening for my friends birthday.

Good beer, good scran, good views. Furthermore, my server (George) was very prompt with the service. I shall be coming back for sure!

Had a great time, the bartender Ella made our day by putting shamrocks in our Guinness!! Would come again just for that! :))

Lovely view of the river, excellent chicken skewers and very tasty Juvel beer, recommended by the wonderful barmaid Mariana. Thank you very much for such great hospitality! Will definitely return :)

Mariena was super great with us - super attentive and cheerful.

Great services from Mariena, she was attentive and regularly checking up on the table and ensuring that me and my companion were kept refreshed

Mariana - Great service with a smile! Friendly and accommodating. The Ram is my new favourite pub in Kingston

Mariana was perfect, quick, smart and very welcoming. Thank you so much.

We went to ram last week and with a bunch of friends and it was amazing! One of your waitress Marianna took care of us, such a great servant!

Fantastic pub, good selection of drinks and friendly staff.

Had a lovely time at the ram last week. Such a nice atmosphere and Floella was particularly helpful and kind.

Mariana was very helpful and friendly. Lovely atmosphere here. Would definitely come again ❤️

Mariana was very attentive and welcoming. Highly recommended!
