The Best Pub Food in Richmond

Join us for some proper pub bites that champion British farmers and producers. Our menu features seasonal dishes crafted with farm-fresh ingredients (hand-picked at the peak of their freshness) and meats sourced from family-owned butchers (ensuring tender, top-quality cuts with a touch of tradition). Enjoy hearty, classic and nostalgic meals with us.

Watch Live Sports in Richmond

Join us for all the big matches! We are a passionate sports pub and screen everything from rugby and football, to cricket and horse racing. We have a downstairs bar area where you can grab a pint and watch the game with mates, or our upstairs area where you can sit down and watch the game whilst you eat your favourite pub classic.

The Perfect Sunday

Cap off your Sunday the right way: it’s time for a well-deserved treat and a hearty feast from us. Our Sunday roasts boast tender, melt-in-your-mouth meats, towering double egg Yorkies (the kind that deserve a standing ovation), and generous sides with plentiful rich, savory gravy (because you can never have too much). To top it all off, indulge in a delightful crumble that’s a hug-in-a-bowl, perfectly paired with a spicy, kick-you-in-the-tastebuds Bloody Mary for that ultimate Sunday Funday.

Enjoy Refreshing Summer Drinks

Like our food menu, we like to keep our drinks menus fresh and seasonal. When we think of summer drinks in our pub, we think of vibrant spritz, crisp lagers and refreshing wines. We know the British summer can be full of tricks, so if you’re looking for a rich red wine or a traditional ale, no need to worry, our bar will still be serving them up.

Our beers are ever changing, however, if you want to take a look at our wine list, alcohol-free and spritz menu, you can take a look below.
