This is an old-school, characterful pub on Richmond’s market square, with warm hospitality, lively music, and rooms above the bar. Homemade food—particularly the Sunday roast and brunch spreads—usually lands very well and feels fairly priced, though one recent booking failure and occasional service lapses matter. Try: Sunday roast.
This is a roomy, lively Italian dining room with generous portions, friendly service on many visits, and a menu broad enough for picky groups. Regulars praise the pizzas, pasta, fish, homemade desserts, and reasonable prices, but a cluster of recent complaints describes badly cooked steaks, dry pizzas, slow service, and occasional poor complaint handling. Try: Pizza.
This characterful pub just off Richmond’s market square feels like a genuine local, with friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and a handy base for exploring town. The food is often excellent—especially hearty British plates and Sunday roasts—but older and lower-rated accounts describe serious delays, cold or poorly cooked dishes, and uneven standards. Try: Cumberland sausage ring with mash.
