The Thursday night quiz is back!

I've been taken here a few times now, for Sunday lunch and it's great. A very hearty lunch for £7.95, with cabbage too. The jam roly poly came with custard. You don't see that very often these days.
I had a good Twickenham beer here a couple of weeks ago and great Sharps beer before that.

My local: beer [Youngs, Price, Bombardier/Guest [currently Twickenham Ale]] consistently well kept; staff cheerful, hardworking and efficient; landlord & lady Irish: Pat & Mairead are convivial; haven't tried the food, which varies as chefs come and go; all ages up to 92 [he's been waiting for a drink since 1936 . . ]; not usually crowded except on match nights & rugby weekends, so a good place for a meet; closed in the afternoons, I think; open til 2330 Sun - Thur [doors close @ 000 hrs prompt]; much improved by the smoking ban. To find it, ask for The Vineyard: it's in the middle. Or go to the bus station and follow your nose uphill from there.

I have only been here twice and that is because i gave it second chance. The palce was not somewhere i would choose to go to in a hurry! I ordered a roast dinner and got mash potato-not my idea of a proper roast!! The food wasn't up to much and my friend had a medium to well done steak that she couldn't even chew!! The service was not good and found the waitress to be quite rude and when we aked if it was possible to change the steak she was rude and uncopoperative. The landord-what can i say? He was a little bit worse for ware. The service in the bar was adequate but not up to much... Wouldn't recommend to anyone of my friends.

Superb traditional pub serving good value food. Having stopped here a couple of times I found the rooms clean and spacious, the staff friendly and the breakfast delicious.
|
A great locals' pub (you have to be a local to be able to find it) that has a good, if rather Irish, atmosphere and a good range of beers that changes regularly. Often my last port-of-call when on a Richmons crawl.
|
Great pub with top beer & good grub. Pat the landlord hosts a pub quiz on a Wednesday - assuming he's in a capable state to do so that is. Quiz is pretty good but some of them take it a bit seriously. Well worth a visit, if you can find it.

I found this pub by complete accident as I was lost in the backstreets of Richmond - and it was a pleasant surprise.
An old fashioned pub, smoky, with some old punters and traditional decor - Quite nice to go to a proper pub in Richmond. Service was quite slow, but it was busy. Perhaps not worth a visit if smoking bothers you, but seems a good pub to me..

Great pub, for people who enjoy their food and beer.
No good for lager louts who fill up the pubs in the middle of town

An excellent, friendly pub. Food is superb.

Must agree with Jake's comments. *The* place to be in Richmond on a Tuesday evening for (fairly restrained but quite excellent) live Irish folk music.
Food is good and from a varying menu.
Clientele, although not old, tends to be over 30; which is a refreshing change, along with the concomitant lower noise levels.

this pub is full of old people and irish builders who drink cider.. avoid at all costs!!!

The Dukes Head is in The Vineyard, Richmond as is possibly Richmond's only 'real' locals pub. Irish music on Tuesday, Quiz night on Thursday. It's generally full of locals with no loud music and stuff but a great atmosphere and a top place for St Patricks night.
