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

Great location, tricky parking, probably fantastic to sit in the read garden on a summer's evening. The vegetarian options were very limited with no sign of vegan options. The food was OK but not worth what we paid for it. The service was very good. Drinks by the glass were very expensive. Ambiance OK but crowded. I felt I was sharing the arm of my chair with the guest on the sofa next to me. Decoration felt overdone - dark paint, quite interesting artwork but overbearing. And a carpet in the toilet? Hmmm. It's an OK and worthwhile experience but we will not rush back.

First two courses would good. Not exceptional but good. Very nice wine. It all started to go wrong when we got to dessert. For some reason it took an absolute age to get out two desserts which in the end we decided to cut our loses and leave without. As per usual though as soon as you ask for the bill miraculously they are now ready. In fairness they offered us for free but after 40 minutes we just couldn’t be bothered waiting for any more.

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.

The Bechstein piano is the only bit of class in this establishment….

I had a great experience at this restaurant! Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

i came here on 6 oct (1.30ish) for sunday lunch and had the chicken - it was fantastic, plentiful and delicious. the service from the guy and girl was amazing and such excellent customer service and food and wine made for a delightful sunday lunch. highly recommend!!

Have been a few times now and the food is amazing, I have never had anything bad yet. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. They have loads of space to sit and enjoy you food. The little shop they have has a lot of lovely stuff for sale. Will Defo be back and Defo recommend.

Since we last dined here there appears to have been a change of ownership. Maybe it is early days yet but certainly needs to improve and it is way off its previous standards. There was a lack of staff behind the bar and we waited too long to be served. pay and order at the bar. Whilst the meals were still very good we thought the prices were rather exorbitant. All round very disappointing
