Harden's says

A smart refit lends a smart, brasserie vibe to the dining room at this traditional pub, on the lane down to Richmond’s picturesque waterfront. The makeover – in late 2019 – was by the Ram Pub Co, which is part of Young's. Few reports as yet on the rather posh-for-a-pub menu (they serve a selection of oysters for example), but on first impressions for a comfy get-together it looks like you could do much worse than a trip here.

“A lovely pub on Water Lane leading down to the Thames: now more of a restaurant than a pub” – a smart refit now lends a brasserie vibe to the dining room at this traditional boozer, off Richmond’s picturesque waterfront. The makeover – in late 2019 – was by the Ram Pub Co, which is part of Youngs. Few reports as yet on the rather posh-for-a-pub menu (they serve a selection of oysters, for example), but early feedback says it’s “the food is good, especially the fish”, and for a comfy yet relaxed get-together you could do much worse than a trip here.

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).

"Formerly a pub now a restaurant. It has a nice atmosphere and serves a decent short menu of brasserie staples. The sauce with my lamb was over salty though "
