About Fox & Duck
This suburban pub is on the main road from Richmond to Kingston. From the inside, it looks like it hasn't changed in years. There is small dining area and a separate billiard-style room for the pool table. Outside there is some patio seating and a car park (with pot holes!) to the rear. Open Mic evening every Tuesday and live music most Fridays and every Saturday. The pub has a big screen, showing all live sporting events now with 3dTV. History - In 1940 the old timber constructed Fox and Duck public house, which probably dated from about 1700 was demolished. Originally it was called the 'Horse and Groom' and served as a posting house on the London to Guildford stagecoach route. The public house was rebuilt further back from the road, in a mock Georgian style. An interesting piece of local history is The Petersham lockup, a white-boarded, slate roofed building beside the arch which now leads into the new Forge Lane houses. It gives a glimpse of village life in the late 18th century. Situated in the carpark of the Fox and Duck public house, the lockup was erected in 1787. The Lock-up is Grade 2 listed and in 2004 thanks to the representations made by the Environment Trust for Richmond, the lock-up appeared on the English Heritage list of important buildings at risk (the BAR register).
Coffee & pastries: Monday to Friday from 8am. Sat & Sunday from 9am.

Place was lovely, Staff were exceptionally friendly and courteous. The pizzas were truly outstanding, and I struggled to find adequate words to express my admiration for the culinary masterpiece - it was simply exquisite, and the presentation was equally impressive. The food was, in a word - phenomenal!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Fox and Duck pub, and I was blown away by the exceptional quality and presentation of the food! The dishes I tried were on par with those served at high-end restaurants, and I was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I'm now eagerly looking forward to trying their Sunday roast, which I've heard is a real treat. If you're a foodie like me, do yourself a favour and give the Fox and Duck a try – you won't be disappointed!

It was a little quiet when we went after a day in Richmond park hence only 4 stars for atmosphere, the guy behind the bar was amazing and made us very welcome, apparently he is part of new people just taken over so this will be a place to watch, the menu was small but tasty and very reasonably priced especially for the area.

Booked for 8 for lunch after a walk through the Park. Lovely sunny day so a lot of people outdoors in the front. We sat inside and It didn't feel busy. Just a nice vibe. It was fantastic!!! Great Twickenham Ales, and the food was delicious. I had the blue cheese burger. Great quality burger. A couple of people had pizza, which was also delicious. All made even better by the service and smiles from the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for looking after us, can't wait to return. 👍
