It's ok, but the landlord is a misery.
He once kept us waiting for 25 minutes after opening one Sunday lunchtime. He looked aggrieved that some people actually wanted to purchase drinks, when he was running late.

Very good pub. Good beer, lots of seats, relaxed atmosphere and drinkers. Decent screens for the football, but not too obtrusive. Probably the best pub in the area.
|
Very impressed with my recent visit - the staff were great and the screen for the football was good. As a youngs pub I couldnt go past the ram and special. Ohhh and the open fireplace is a cracker!
|
My sort of pub. Youngs beers (Winter Warmer in September?!), cosy layout, friendly atmosphere and a convenient location.
|
Fine pub near Richmond Station. Quality of the handpulled beers (Young's) is variable. The Thai food is both excellent and very good value for money. There is a small sun-trap garden at the back.
Nina the barmaid is one of the hardest working people I have ever met and seems to have a photographic memory for what her customers are drinking.

Great venue for watching rugby with the lads or having a quiet one with the missus.Good beers.We've only been in a few times and young girl behind the bar remembers what we drink. Please don't change ever.

A very nice youngs pub. That used to belong to my Grandfather George Walker many years ago.
And the shop next door was a Fish & Chip shop called Sturgeons which belonged to my Father Stan Walker.
And Molly Malones was called the Hope.

Feels like a real pub, Good drinks as well for you 2 try. Also nice big screen. Good
|
Nice cosy place to have a drink when you're fed up with the other pubs. Has the quality of selling their Pilsner which you don't get everywhere. Bar staff are also patient if you take your time over a decision
|
Totally agree with chazzles - great little pub just off the Richmond Chav drag - please keep it quiet !!!!
|
I go in here from time to time and I love it. I always find a seat, even on a Friday night. This place is a breath of fresh air, compared to most the crappy pubs that populate Richmond town centre. Good atmosphere and decent Thai food.
|
The Youngs Bitter is very well kept here, leaving some other nearby establishments to wallow in their shame. Chilled out, comfortable and thankfully tucked away from the main high street. A locals pub, that is doing the job just right.

Lovely friendly pub that serves a FANTASTIC pint of Youngs. Quaint little beer garden out the back. Strange choice of decor for the food section - what were Youngs thinking of when kitting this out? Rugby days at HQ make this a buzzing place to be pre-match and afterwards its singing all night with the 'locals' (welsh!)

Love it here, never noticed any hostility either, always been friendly to me at least.
Only gripe has to be about the size of the Thai meals. Really nice but there's just not enough of it.

Half old pub, half brightly lit Thai restaurant - not a great pub, but adequate if you ignore the restaurant.
|
Looks a decent pub, but is full of old geezers and fleas

Very fine little Youngs pub.Great pre-rugby as is slightly off the beaten track.Have never noticed any rudeness from the barstaff.

Please dont let the earlier comments about the rude barmaid put you off. I suspect she must have left the pub - there's certainly nobody fitting that description serving there now.
This is a fine smallish reasonably traditional Youngs local which, being slightly outside Richmond town centre, ( its the other side of the big roundabout )doesnt get the weekend circuit crowd. It has a slightly upmarket feel to it - definitely more Surrey than Lahndahn - but that's no bad thing nowadays. You always get served by someone you recognise -the pub seems to have an unwritten policy of not employing itinerant Antipodeans who wouldnt stay long - and Tim the landlord is a nice chap.
There is a seperate restaurant attached that always seems underused - perhaps because it lacks the pubby atmosphere of the rest of the place, but it seems to have acquired a good reputation locally.
It is a one bar pub - Youngs removed the partition in 1989.
No large TV screen or juke box etc and background music is unobtrusive.
Those who remember the pub in the early/mid nineties will be impressed by the place now

I used to go to this pub regularly. I like it a lot, but I agree, that barmaid has put me off now.

Very local & quiet pub, with welcoming staff & atmosphere. Youngs Ales OK, but on the couple of occasions my beer has been off have been met with extremely hostile response from barmaid.
