| Sorry, I've been popping in here for several years now. Sadly last nights food deserves very negative comment. Accompanied by a vegetarian, I was embarassed by what was presented to them as a meal; a saucer sized dish containing approximately 1/4 inch of cheese sauce with two pieces of artichoke and some diced butternut squash, this in turn supporting a huge bubble of air which was enclosed by a piece of over inflated "puff" pastry. This, nearly £ 8.00 "pie" was accompanied by a few meagre slices of sweet potato. This portion size and content was not very satisfying to an adult appetite. Does whoever prepares the menu for this establishment think that vegetarians don't eat the same volume as the rest of us? This meagre attempt at adequate catering for vegetarians focused my attention on what had been presented to myself, I had ordered the 8 oz Rump Steak with chips, tomato and mushroom @ £9.80; that's exactly what I got; one solitary meagre sized mushroom and one half of a grilled tomato all accompanied by about 8 - 10 chips. I looked at my other companions plate, they had ordered the grilled gammon and their vegetable portions / garnish was no different. We duly complained to the waiting staff, who were both very polite and sorry about our disappointment. They did agree to pass on our comments to their Chef and they did offer us dessert, one of us is diabetic, so we chose to pay and leave. Enough is enough, these three (supposed) main courses and three drinks cost us the best part of £40.00 (including tip), yes we left a tip, after all it wasn't the waiting staffs fault. It seems to me that Richmond is becoming over subscribed by the influences of the large Pub Company's policies where the ethos is to homogenise the pub culture by supplying their customers with the occasional easy chair and a "National Trust" themed decor with very little else, all of tis at over inflated prices! When I expressed my viewpoint on their companies pricing to a staff member, a polite comment was made "yes but this is Richmond Hill". Implying perhaps that we ought to be prepared to pay a litlle bit more for eating in this location. Living in Richmond, I fail to see how this fact should affect pub prices, for a 4 or 5 star hotel yes but a pub No! A pub is a pub and Richmond is full of them and if the management of this establishment are in any doubt they should look at the number of "covers" they had on Saturday evening! When we left at 8.30 pm. this establishment was half empty. Whoever is in charge of all of this, could you please get it right. R Haydock robtw9 - 17 May 2009 12:34 |
| three extensive menus (large main menu, lighter snack menu, and a specials sheet) AND a daily fish board could be whittled down to one really great menu which might help with the speed of service as they seemed to struggle with quite a simple order (1 burger, 1 jacket potato) during a quiet period. couldnt fault the staff though - very knowledgeable and friendly. and the 'large' glass of wine is ENORMOUS! .sweeney - 8 Aug 2008 16:54 |
| Courage Best and Bombadier available, and extensive wine list. Wide selection of food dishes all the way from top of the range to the lightest snacks; reasonably priced, quickly served and high quality. The tragedy is that this would be the perfect place to combine with a walk in Richmond Park (Richmond Gate is just one block away) if it weren't for the severe parking restrictions in the pub's own car park, enforced by a third party organisation. Appparently you only have to walk up the street and back, and you're clamped! As a result, on a Friday lunchtime the huge pub car park was almost deserted, and the pub was really quiet too. If you want to walk into the park from a pub, try the New Inn at Ham, or the Ham Brewery Tap. Trev - 25 Jul 2008 17:37 |
| does well combining restaurant with a pub atmosphere: cosy in the winter, decent menu and beer mozzzzzz - 17 Jun 2008 12:13 |
| As has been mentioned this has been re-furbished as a gastro-pub, however the front part still has a pub feel and it has been rather tastefully done. Very comfortable armchairs and lots of them. The current 5/10 rating is way off - should be higher. Nice for a quiet drink on a Sunday night - didn't sample the food so can't comment. discerningdan - 3 Mar 2008 18:57 |
