Four of us went and everyone said how good it was, I can't remember the last time we all agreed (my brother is the difficult one, not me).

This is hands down the coolest pub everrrrr!. Recommend making reservations online and requesting a ted lasso table! We scored big time and got THE ted lasso table!

Service was amazing here, we were a little earlier than our reservation but we were able to get it in! And imagine our surprise when nick led us over to the ted lasso booth (i was so surprised, i didnt even KNOW there was this themed ted lasso booth!!). Very cool to see the photos and kit front the show! Food was great, beer was awesome, ambiance was incredible. Definitely a must do in Richmond!

First, we had a brew called Neck Oil, that had a nice fruit finish. I'm not big on Brew in the States, but I knocked off two pints of Neck Oil with no problem! For lunch, I ordered the Chalcroft Farm Burger with fresh chips (French fries) and it was delicious. A lot of flavor in the burger itself, and the pickled red onions, tomatoes, bacon, and secret sauce complimented it perfectly. I met some great guys who are getting married soon, and we ended up taking sixteen shots of tequila to celebrate! Made some new friends and had some great food and drinks here. I'll definitely be back tomorrow!

There's also a back entrance if it's too crowded out front. We sat down and noticed a great deal on the chateaubriand. Do we decided on that for dinner or the two of us.

The sides that came with it weren't my fave but the beef definitely was. Chicken schnitzel - was just okay. Cooked nicely but lacked a bit of flavor. Would come back for the Thursday specials!

The service was excellent and we greatly enjoyed the sourdough bread, burrata appetizer, and roast beef with bone marrow, potatoes, seasonal veg, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.

But that's ok :) I would recommend the chocolate bread and butter pudding. But don't have that after a rich & heavy main, or you might not get off your chair :D Also a nice place to have a cool bier and share a platter with friends. Enjoy!

There were only a few tables of people in a big restaurant and we had made a reservation. They sat us right by the window, which we quickly learned was not very insulated. It was a very chilly place to be sitting on the day of the big snowfall in London. And most of the restaurant was empty! Our server wasn't very friendly and talked to us the minimal amount possible. Overall, I think the experience could have been great with a tiny bit more effort but no luck.

The room, mine anyway, wasn't as polished as in the website, but that's pretty common, and there was nothing wrong with it, per se, some general maintenance I let the manager know. Overall, super comfortable hotel with a great location, 2 minutes from tube, sweet little village of Kew Gardens and of course Kew Gardens itself which was a very enjoyable morning, altho you could stay all day.

Years ago The Kew Gardens Hotel (as it was then called) was a blot on Kew's landscape. The only people who drank there were people who wanted to play snooker and the odd person staying in the hotel who couldn't be bothered to stagger down to The Railway a few 100 yards down the road. Now it's all changed - a massive refurbishment in 2004 turned it into a large comfy gastro pub that is friendly and is the place where you can hang out with lots of mates, but you'd also be happy to bring your family for Sunday lunch, dinner or even have a family party there. When you enter it looks like a traditional pub. Lots of comfy sofas, hardy looking bar tables that look like they've been there for a 100 years. There's a blackboard with yummy bar snacks - the house burger rivals GBK burgers not as large but the meat literally melts in your mouth and is served with a delicious tomato relish & rocket (my favourite weed). They also do large club sandwiches, stacks of house chips, and some very tasty hand cooked pork scratchings with apple sauce. Moving to the back of the pub though and it turns into a restaurant or more of a gastro-pub. It's much lighter and airier in the back and has more of a family atmosphere. There's also a really cute beer garden - like the huge hanging baskets outside it's what you would expect of a pub so close to Kew's Botanical Gardens. Everytime, I've eaten here the food's been very good. The menu changes every week and the ingredients are fresh and prepared (usually) very quickly in a busy kitchen, with the staff ringing bells and saying "chef" all the time. There's also a cool mezzanine upper floor with even more leather sofas and a widescreen TV if you feel you have to watch TV. I prefer to sit downstairs with a glass of wine, a burger and a stack of papers, happy in the knowledge that I live a stone's throw from one of the best pubs in Kew.
