My wife and I have been loyal customers of the Red Cow Pub in Richmond for five years. The food is consistently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff always treat us like family. Whether we're there for a meal or just a drink, it's always a pleasure. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay upstairs at the Red Cow. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful (shout out to Shiv for always checking in with us!). We also tried the food on the last day and it was delicious! Live music Sunday night was so great! Bus stop right out the front door, tube/train was a 8 min walk away. We went to Wimbledon 2 days and the commute was about 40 mins on 1 bus. Rooms were very large and comfortable. They included cereal, yogurt, milk, and croissants in the room each day for breakfast. There was also bottled water in the fridge. Would stay here again!

Absolutely lovely place. Travelled for work, just one night, but won't be the last. Super friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, amazing food (I recommend the Cambodian Hanuman Crying Tiger);and a cracking pint of Guinness.Highly recommended.

I took a picture of this piece in the bathroom; I just thought it was very unique and cool but this pub has more to offer than just this (I just didnt took more pics). The service was quick and friendly: the guy with the mustache who served me booked a table within 15 minutes when I called. There were six of us and the location was nice with good prices too! The food was great; I had the special house rice and it was very good combo to have with a beer. I didn’t bring my dog, but I saw a few so it's great to know that it's pet-friendly. Definitely, I’ll visit next time I am in Richmond.
