Quick glance: + phenomenal risotto…read more+ locally sourced ingredients + great selection of drinks on tap + riverside seats Full review: Five star for its risotto! Maybe I've been going to the wrong restaurants in the UK, but for some reason I had been let down by one disappointing risotto after another, even from Italian restaurants. Feeling a moment of hysteria on a sunny but cold autumnal Saturday lunchtime sitting by the river Thames, I decided the mushroom and Jerusalem artichoke risotto would be the revitalising meal I much needed. The food took an incredibly long time to arrive, but by golly it was the best risotto I have had in this country and well worth the wait. The consistency was just right, and every mouthful was packed with flavours, down to the last spoonful. I am amused that a pub has become my go-to place for fulfilling my risotto yearning, but at least Woody's is set in a marvelous location for eating and drinking while watching the world go by. The ingredients are locally sourced so the menu changes with the season. There is also plenty of choice for drinks on tap and it was an apparent favourite for some of the locals too. Well worth popping by to fuel up before a shopping spree in town (or rest your feet afterwards!).

What better way to enjoy a summers evening than kick back by the river with a glass of wine or a…read morepint of the cold stuff? I've found Kingston to be a little hit-and-miss when it comes to bars and pubs but Woodys is the perfect spot for those long warm summer evenings us Londoners like to take advantage of. We visited for a friend's birthday last month as she'd spotted the pub on her jogging route and we were all smitten by its charm. Inside is a mish-mash of furniture with arm chairs, kitchen chairs, dining chairs and an old piano sitting in the corner. They even have a box of toys for the kids (although the Mr Potato Head may attract the likes of me also) so mums and dads can relax while the kiddies play. The prices were reasonable and while I hit the wine menu many of my chums opted for their cider. The food coming out of the kitchen looked tasty although we didn't eat there, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The whole place has a lovely vibe and indeed, as the manager says, it feels like an extension of your living room. If you're out and about in Kingston and fancy a beverage head over to Woodys for a lovely chilled out vibe...and perhaps a bit of play time with Mr Potato Head.

It specialises in…read moreSpanish cuisine Monday to Saturday, from the resident Spanish chef, switching to an English chef serving roasts on a Sunday. The hosts and staff were very welcoming and accommodating to our family of four - two adults and two young children. Alongside the spanish menu sits the childrens menu, serving a limited range of kid friendly meals, all of which appealed to our two, whilst we enjoyed a selection of superb tapas from the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed, with a number of other families dining in the restaurant. To the rear of the restuarant, lies a patio with tables and beyond that, the garden, laid to lawn - a good sized area. On Sundays in the summer, the menu offers a traditional roast, or a barbeque (weather permitting) which is very popular. Overall, this resutaurant gets a big thumbs up for friendliness of the staff, quality and presentation of the food and accommodation of the dining guests. We'll definitely be returning.

Other than this, it's a very lovely place with a great menu and not overpriced.

Even Strada, a perfectly respectable joint, is only some 20 yards distant and their cooked lunch menu is so similar that one wonders at the sheer nerve of the Soprano people!!! Anyway, their coffee was rounded, not bitter, and their lunch and dessert pleasant (gnocchi with Gorgonzola & walnuts, lemon cake). The prices were reasonable. The staff a little dreamy & the decor is 'unpretentious Italian restaurant'. It's been very well supported initially. Watch this space because, unbelievably, another Italian deli place has opened in the last fortnight down the road: Valentino's. Sevenoaks, haven of the Middle Classes, is now surely the Little Italy of Kent!!! I'll be writing to The Telegraph..........

When we walked it, it was quite busy as a huge party was occupying a table across from us. A few other guest always dining as well. Not a big place but still very intimate and quite nice. Bar available but not sure if it's full bar. We did have a couple bottles of wine with dinner. Menu, straight to the point. Tapas and more tapas. As there was couple of us, we all chose three dishes to share. Each all looked amazing. The prawns, chorizo, mussels, meatballs, hummus, sun dried tomatoes salad, mushrooms, fried halloumi sticks, the skewers, pate, avocado toast, and croquettes. Everything was really good apart from it being slightly different from the states. The only downside, the skewer were a bit dry but presented beautifully. Everything was quite tasty and plenty to share for what we've ordered. Mussels were quite tasty in the sauce, chorizo was really good. Pate was more of sliced meat versus a spread. Service was great, staff was really friendly and chatty which was great. They ended the night for us with a little cocktail shot which was quite nice. Overall, amazing service, food was great, atmosphere was nice and friendly. Will definitely return.

Small, friendly, a nice location just off the main shopping area, reasonably priced and generous portions. The food was delicious and worth venturing over for whether you are local or not! We had crisp halloumi, spiced aubergine with minced lamb, chilli peppered squid, pork belly and chips, a lovely crisp Pinot Grigio (my friend's a white drinker) and a couple of liqueur coffees. All this for £30 a head including a tip. The staff were efficient, attentive and charming. Young and energised, I loved the way all the front of house staff presented one table with a birthday dessert and sang with evident delight to the guest. We were made to feel very welcome despite booking a late table and the arrival of a large party of blokes who'd evidently been out for a Christmas get together added to the very European feel of this little gem.
