The best restaurants serving British food in Kingston upon Thames London

Nice location and view. Food is so so, especially traditional British food

Used this shop for years but never again. I ordered cod and chips for four to takeaway, the chips were soggy and greasy and left a nasty after taste. The batter on the fish was also soggy. Most of our dinner ended up in the bin.

Bianca is very professional. And also her colleague, Jackson who took our order. Thank you for your service. Love the fish & chips so much 🫶🏼 Surely will come back again soon. Reasonable price.

It's one of the very few pubs that dont smell like beer as soon as you enter. Nice ambiance and good garden seating as well

Nice coffee shop with very pleasant service. They don’t charge extra for alternative milk either which is a rare bonus

Lovely meal, very welcoming staff. Able to eat being gluten free, dairy free AND vegetarian! Not just ‘eat’ but it was very tasty. Good prices. Were helpful putting a candle in my daughters’ pudding for her birthday. My free from pudding was gorgeous. Lovely generous helpings in the sundaes. Perfect for after a day in the theme park too before the journey home and skip the traffic.

Top bar where you can expect good beer & friendly service from all of the staff. Always helpful in finding obscure sports too.

Haute cuisine it is not but good value for money. Service is ultra friendly and the size of the Carvery offerings was very generous. An agreeable family-oriented local pub.

After 7 years absence and bad reviews we needed a late lunch and thought we’d risk it. Was delighted with the friendly helpful service, atmosphere and food. Will definitely revisit.

Food ok as long as you stick to a sandwich as the breakfast is awful. Also when I walked in on a Sunday morning at 10 o clock the staff member looked at me like i had two heads and when I asked her were they ready she replied bluntly “shop only” referring to the stale croissants etc. in packets. I have been at Kingston hospital all week and must have been in there at least 8/9 times and that’s how you get treated. I will never visit this cafe again.

If you love the steamed-up windows of a traditional chippy on a cold evening, and a paper wrapper brimming with tasty chips, Cod upon Thames is for you. The staff are friendly and chatty, the fish is good, the chips are even better (or should that been even batter?), and it’s only the stark décor and brutalist interior that denies this little local treasure the full star rating. Maybe it's the oil, or the way they cut them, but the chips are plump and flavoursome. Burnished metal walls make it feel like you’re in a shipping container, and the counter is so high it’s only possible to glimpse the staff. But let’s focus on the food. It’s the usual mixture of bangers (some in batter), chicken, burgers and fish ‘n’ chips. Standard fish and chips is under seven quid, pies are £2.40, and you can get chip butties (£1.60), cheesy chips for £3 and standard chips – a good-sized portion – for £1.80. Extras include onion rings, mushy peas and baked beans, and Cod upon Thames also does pineapple fritters and curry sauce. Soft drinks are housed in a large fridge at the far end.

Been to Peppe a few times before - normally good fresh food at a reasonable price in a homely restaurant. Not sure what has happened lately - hardly anyone there which is possibly a weekday evening thing, but the prices have gone up and the portions are really quite small with not too much in the pasta except pasta and sauce; the seafood spaghetti was particularly disappointing for £25. I know prices have gone up since COVID but pasta should be an affordable dish. We had several different pastas and all were similarly disappointing. Putting lots of new lighting outside the restaurant - maybe trying to get the investment back?

We were passing by and saw that the guys have a fresh chicken doner ready to be cut. I popped in and asked for two wraps with first cut of fresh chicked doner. Guy said its fine, he will do it. There was few other customers and I saw that the guys who worked there had some chicken from previous skewer. I've asked the guy again to make 2 wraps with fresh cut. He said fine. After my wraps were done I saw that one of two guys who worked there started cutting the first cut from fresh chicken. I asked him third time if he made my wraps with fresh, first cut chicken and he confirmed that he did. Obviously, when I sat down to eat the wraps with my daughter, we discovered that it was an old chicken and not the first cut I've asked. I went to the counter and showed the guy that it was not what I have asked. Instead of saying sorry when he was caught lying, he started acting like an idiot! Started shouting to give the wraps back, nearly through the money at me and tried to put the blame on my like I don't know what I want! Absolutelly appaling behaviour. I will never go back there after being treated like this!

Great intimate venue for bands and good local pub, independent with good service and very reasonably priced. Good atmosphere.
