The best restaurants serving British food in North Richmond Richmond upon Thames London

This quirky coffee shop, themed on Batman's adversary the Penguin, serves great coffee with friendly smile. The coffee is wonderfully rounded without being bitter. The usual range of milk substitutes are on offer if milk is not your thing. Socially distanced seating inside and out with a great menu if toasted sourdough offerings available. A high quality alternative to the restaurant offerings from the Premier Inn just across the road.

Beautiful restaurant in Richmond. Lovely food , with fab service an atmosphere. It's the small touches that make this place magical. Wide range of food options...

Let me start off my review by saying that the atmosphere of this pub is really nice, we visited when fairy lights etc were up for Christmas. The food was lovely but the reason that I feel I cannot rate this pub more highly is because of a really negative interaction we had with one of the bar staff. For context we brought our baby daughter to the pub and this was one of our first outings as a family. This member of staff came over to us and was chatting to us about our baby (all fine at this point). We have a tag on our daughter’s pram that clearly says ‘PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH- I am too little for big germs’ and is visible to anyone who goes near the pram. Unfortunately this member of staff felt the need to stick her head inside the pram and say ‘are you too hot princess?’ And TRIED TO UNZIP MY BABY’S PRAMSUIT WITHOUT PERMISSION! For the record, my baby was not too hot but this didn’t stop this member of staff from thinking she knew best. What a total violation of our personal space! I picked my daughter up and we tried to enjoy the rest of our evening but after this, it was ruined. This member of staff then returned to try and tell us how to soothe and settle our baby, who once again was absolutely fine and just being a baby. I insisted that ‘she’s fine’ but this entire interaction was really disappointing. This member of staff had no respect or regard for our boundaries as parents or the safety of our daughter. Who tries to undress someone else’s baby without their permission? This is clearly a safeguarding issue and this member of staff is a liability and I will be following up with the management. I would hate for another new parent to have the same interaction we did. The barman we dealt with was absolutely lovely.

Very pleasant pub with extensive menu. We went there on Thursday and Saturday on same week (off peak), seated in bar area. Meals were served in 40-60 min which is more than fair for busy establishment with such a variety of dishes. Servers offered top-up drinks and checked if food was good. Portions were generous and very tasty. Would highly recommend and glad we ignored the negative reviews.
