Harden's survey result
Summary
This attractive eighteenth-century inn is a short stroll from Sheen Gate and a good option following a walk in Richmond Park (especially in summer on the terrace). On the downside, “the cooking can be a bit hit and miss” – it’s “under new management” since Fuller’s fell out with the previous landlord a couple of years back, “so perhaps hasn’t found its stride yet”.
Summary
This large 18th-century inn – a survivor from the era when East Sheen was a rural village – closed down in 2021 following a dispute between Fuller’s and the landlord, to the dismay of locals. It reopened after a refurb last summer, and is likely to make a comeback given its great location near Richmond Park and gorgeous outside terrace.
Summary
“More a pub with food than a gastropub” – it’s worth knowing about this large hostelry in the backstreets of Sheen, “close to Richmond Park”, thanks to its characterful interior and lovely outside terrace.
Summary
Close to leafy Richmond Park, this 18th-century inn is a “lovely local boozer”, with a “nice, quaint inside” for the winter months, and a “restful outside terrace that makes a perfect setting for a drink outdoors”. Service is “very friendly” too, so it’s a shame they don’t make a bit more of an effort on the mostly enjoyable pub grub: “they don’t aim for fancy, difficult dishes, but basic execution can disappoint”.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
