Version 6 Version 5

Comment added by Kake: Blackboard says Sunday roast is £11.

Good Beer Guide pub very close to Richmond station.

Martin says: It's another "posh" Young's pub. I had a very fine steak and ale pie there (for about £10, so not the cheapest, but IMHO worth it). (Pie-fascists note: fully enclosed in good shortcrust pastry.) In the past, the only non-smoking section was unfortunately the table service food area, but post smoking ban this caveat no longer applies. I have been impressed with the helpfulness of the staff here - on one occasion allowing us to sit in the non-smoking section despite not ordering food, and on another occasion loaning us umbrellas from the lost property while we walked round (nearby) Kew Gardens.

Bob says it's one of the pubs that people collect in on rugby days, since it's convenient for both the train station and the buses to the stadium, and hence gets very busy on those days.

On sunny days, there are often a lot of people congregating out the front, but there is often space inside.

Food served all day from noon onwards, according to the Orange Tree website and the Good Beer Guide (though from 11am-9pm according to the Young's website).

Comment added by Kake: Getting here: come out of the station and turn right; it's on the other side of the road, conveniently just by a pedestrian crossing. Bombardier (3.05), Special, Ordinary. One small sofa in the front bit plus upright chairs and tables. Seating out the front covered by large umbrellas. Music, though not too loud, sort of poprockjazzfunk, feels a bit incongruous. A few other customers in but certainly not busy.
