The best restaurants in Ham, Petersham and Richmond Riverside Richmond upon Thames London

We used to order often food from Batterfly, delivered at home. This time we went to have lunch at the place with my wife (disabled) and our westie. The owner (he was alone) refused us because of our little dog. The room was empty, and our dog under the table could not have done any dammage. However this is not indicated anywhere on the door or restaurant window. No compromise, no kindness, no apologies for the absence of warning. It was clear the guy (the boss, because he said "I decide") did not want us, nor maybe any client today. We won't order anything from him anymore. The food is generally acceptable, but not better than elsewhere.

Lovely location on Ham common. Another great local and exceptional staff. Sunday roast is excellent.

Wonderful staff and INCREDIBLE food. Everything we got was delicious! Dinner & breakfast were fabulous! It is gorgeous inside.

So excited to try Chef Vanessa's new menu on Wednesday with the opening of the new restaurant! She really has made a big difference at the Bingham.

Simple but very tasty german food by the river Thames. The place is cheerful, noisy (but in a good way), the staff friendly and the food amazing and the prices are fair. This is the second time I eat there, visiting my sister and her husband who are lucky to live in Richmond. If there's a next time, I'm sure I'll be visiting Stein's again.

We recently rented out the Fox and Duck for our Halloween themed baby shower & we had the most wonderful evening! The staff are the utmost in helpful & every thing we needed was catered for. The event was perfect, and went ahead with no issues. We bought our own decorations and also rented a karaoke machine. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was fantastic and the food was very tasty and came out all perfectly timed and there was nothing left, so was very well enjoyed by our guests (we had pizzas which are highly recommended.) The communication with Rob, the manager was top form and we felt very well looked after. This pub means a lot to us, as we had our first date here & so this was very much a full circle moment for us. Highly recommended for your event or party, but also perfect for a Sunday dinner or an evening pint. Thank you all so much! C & G x

Very underwhelming afternoon tea experience. Sandwiches, scones and sweets were all very mediocre at best and some were not edible. Would not recommend, especially for the price.

Great food but annoying they ask you to pay with cash consistently.

Beautiful pub, lovely decor, warm atmosphere, unbelievably terribly slow service though. No real reason for it either - not busy, but waiting 10-15min to service at the bar, with only two patrons to be served ahead of me is not really a great experience at all.

Always have a good experience here. However, walked in today and asked if they have anything vegan and immediately without checking the girl at the counter says no. Luckily another staff heard and she said they do and showed me the options. Didn't get their names but one of the girls had a headscarf and was super helpful and interested to do her job. Whereas the other girl was too lazy to check anything and had a no sorry for every question. Very different to the lovely staff that Costa used to have.

Food very tasty, air conditioning too cold, service not helpful.

We come to Richmond about once a year & found this restaurant on our last trip. Loved it so much we returned & it did not disappoint. We both had seafood pasta, mine was with a tomato based sauce with hint of chilli, & husband's was creamy. They were both superb. Accompanied by a lovely bottle of Italian white wine it went down a treat. We shared the passion fruit cheesecake for dessert as I remembered how large it was ! Overall a great meal out & very reasonable price.

This place will have my custom from now on. Customer service is nice and friendly, they have many German items, coffee is nice also. It was a male and a blonde lady working

We went often to "The Bistro", always with our little dog (westie) like to every pub or reataurant we go. Most of the times outside, but sometimes (at least two times) inside and the dog was not a problem. Today we were refused inside, because the rule would be "no dog inside", but this is a lie because we have been there with the dog under the table at previous occasions. We reminded them about the previous situations, but they confirmed, that their "rules" do not accept dogs inside. There are in fact arbirary rules, applied when they decide according to the client look or to their mood. This is not acceptable, and the so-called rule is not written anywhere to make the customers aware of this. We won't go to this place anymore.

6 Stars out of 5. Very well managed and run by the manageress, Can't wait to my next visit. Great place to eat drink and smoke and listen to live music.
