While in Richmond decided to have lunch at Old Ship. I had a really great experience with the staff. Very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. Tried the Sunday pork roast and it was deliciously! My girlfriend tried the chicken roast. Very nice atmosphere inside as well! Definitely worth a visit.

Cute intimate place. Came in to watch the Euro on their TVs. The Ploughmans Lunch was okay though the scotch egg was not quite crispy fresh, it was otherwise perfectly done with a runny center. Good sausage roll though the ham and the bread were just okay. The deviled mushrooms were surprisingly delicious and I'd get it again. It's sliced mushrooms in a mustard sauce with a perfect slice of brioche bread.

My friend and I came in June for a chicken roast and it was quite frankly the best roast we’ve had since living in London. The chicken was really tender and juicy and the whole thing was a really good portion. The manager was really great and the atmosphere was quintessentially British. They also had quite a good outdoor seating area playing the football which was a slay. Can’t recommend enough!

Oh dear. We came here after researching places for Sunday roast in Richmond. Very disappointing, I had the beef, it was one single thin slice. I queried the portion size as thought probably a kitchen error, but two of my fellow dinners had same portion size. In response we were told that single slice was correct, they did bring us another single slice to share. They said it was a 200g serve - didn't look like it. The chicken was half a chicken so more generous portion but unfortunately very dry. The mac and cheese side was equally disappointing, very bland and not at all cheesy. Lovely…

Food is what you'd expect in a good quality pub. The best seats in my opinion are on the first floor (one above the ground floor) -- get ones facing down George St. if you can. My only feedback is that it's kind of a small challenge to get a full beer from the ground floor to the first floor (they do have a satellite bar upstairs that theoretically could dispense beers, but which isn't always open). The staff are very friendly and the food is great.
