Gastropub in Petersham on the outskirts of Richmond.
bob visited on a Saturday afternoon in August. There were plenty of spare tables inside and out at 2pm. The weather may have affected this. I suspect in nicer weather this is much more of a destination and the garden at least would be full. I was part of a group of 10 who had prebooked. This is very much a Gastropub as you arrive you are asked if you are having just drinks or eating and all the internal tables are laid out for dinners. On one side there are even table clothes. They have two real ales on. Twickenham Fine Ales Summer Gold and Meantime LPA both were £3.15. Both were very drinkable. Lunch is served 12:00-15:00 with last orders being at 15:00. They very kindly let some of our party order after that since they were running late. The menu seemingly changes daily and is updated on the website.
bob had the Linguine with braised octopus, chilli, olives and parsley (£6.50) to start. The pasta was fine. The chilli wasnt noticable to bob. The octopus however was fantastic. Not chewy at all in fact almost melt in the mouth. For my main I had Crisp pork belly with roast fennel, Puy lentils and chilli jam (£13.50). The pork belly was fine. The crackling could have been a bit more crisp. THe outside of the strips of belly was nicely crisp as well while the inside was just about right. Not to dry not to moist.Ed and Thomas seemed to enjoy their Steaks(£16.65). The Beer battered haddock with hand cut chips(£14.75) looked really good as well.
They also have live music. The internet suggests this is mostly jazz and classical.

Accessibility info: No steps to get in. There are a few raised areas. Access to beer garden and bar all on the level. As our the toilets. The male toilet cubicle is fitted out as a disabled toilet with baby changing facilities. The door into the male toilets is wide enough for a wheelchair as is the female door. Because of that i suspect at least one of the female cubicles will be fitted out for disabled access.
