Been going to this family run pub for the last 32 years. Best pub in Richmond for good traditional pub food and who are not afraid to experiment with their chef’s specials. Joe’s Steak Pie (comes with chips & peas), Sausage & Mash and Margy’s Homemade Beef Chilli are my favs.

We tracked down this good local Fuller's pub in preference to some of the other local offerings, which are doing more self-consciously 'posh' food since we were last in the area about 6 years ago. This is a pub with a great atmosphere...a 'rugby' pub with lots of pictures, shirts and posters...even a pair of rugby boots in a frame. It is a comfortable and pleasant place to stop, have a meal and a pint. If you want it there are large TV screens at the back of the pub for watching sport. Both of the guys on the bar were doing a good job when we popped in for an early meal. Straightforward pub…

Go elsewhere. Imagine walking into a pub only for the staff member to tell you “I finish in a minute”… Then waiting not for the second but third staff member to make your order after paying. Can’t comment on the food and will say the drink once made was decent but there’s plenty of better options nearby.
