| Not a bad pub but nothing special. Very expensive too. Stoned_Moses - 6 Feb 2010 16:36 |
| Well known large Youngs pub close by Richmond Station on the main Kew Road. The pub still proudly displays outside the front door the circular plaque recording it as Evening Standard Pub of the Year 1976 and it seems like only yesterday that this establishment was one of Youngs flagship pubs. Nowadays, perhaps predictably, its distinctive 19th Century brick and terracotta exterior leads to a comparatively disappointing interior throughout its various areas.I've often thought that Young's don't really seem to know what they what this place to be and it seems to have a different feel to it every time I visit ( which admittedly isn't often ). It's currently sporting what its admirers would probably describe as a rather stylish upmarket feel designed to attract professional 30-somethings. Cocktails are now promoted actively. Although it's still a popular meeting up place for rugby crowds en route to Twickenham, there's no rugby memorabilia, unlike at The Sun Inn round the corner. There's a downstairs basement bar where I think televised sport is shown, but it wasn't open on my visit. The famous Orange Tree Theatre has of course been housed in a sparate building across the road now for a number of years. There's a heated outside seating area at the front where you can watch the local traffic crawl past. Food - pleasingly not gastro-style food - is ambitiously priced ( eg - Steak and Ale Pie, Mash and Veg - £ 10.25p ) , but, surprisingly beer prices seem less inflated. My recent visit found the Youngs Ordinary - £ 2.95p - in good form, with a strong hint of the hoppy bitterness that it had when it was brewed in nearby Wandsworth. I noted that Youngs London Gold was on - a rare sighting this. I'll probably pop in here from time to time - after all I only live 5 minutes walk away - but I don't envisage this pub ever becoming a regular haunt of mine. JohnBonser - 31 Dec 2009 09:08 |
| Yes, I agree. Good food in good quantities but would say both beer and food rather overpriced . mostly - 30 Nov 2009 23:40 |
| Nice Youngs pub with the usual range of ale. Price of food is scary - tenner for a burger and chips. Good job there's a Golden Arches down the road. Best pub near the station but visit the cash point if you're eating twineyboy - 21 Oct 2009 23:58 |
| The Orange Tree seems to close when they like rather than the stated hours. Twice I have been told that they close at 10.30 on a Monday and 10.00 on a Sunday if it is quiet so it is not suitable for anyone visiting the theatre. They seem to prefer chasing potential customers away rather than serving them. Toller_Rant - 16 Jun 2009 14:51 |
