The Railway Tavern in Richmond upon Thames

This is the best pub in Richmond to watch the football. The beer is good the pies and food are delicious and there are so many screens there is always a comfortable place to sit

Lovely atmosphere thanks for the service guys!!

Handy pub for railway station. Good efficient service on a busy premier rugby day

Went here 3 days in a row , very large pub despite what you may think , staff were very nice , drinks were delicious Also has screens to watch the football which was great

The pub boasts a truly welcoming and warm atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing evening. The food is delicious and prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Darren, always ready to offer a helpful suggestion. Every visit is a pleasant experience, making it a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike. It's highly recommended for anyone seeking good food and good company in a comfortable setting.

Brilliant service excellent quality of food and drink

Darren is a legend Thank you for looking after our party

It was easy to book a table on line and all the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately the type of table location I chose was not available, so the seating arrangement was slightly cramped and not an ideal set up for both of us to watch the nearest screen. The ales were well-kept and the fish vey tasty, but the chips seemed to have been reheated and not freshly cooked. For £17.50 (even in Richmond), I feel the food should be of a higher quality. Overall, our experience was an enjoyable one and we will go back another Saturday after a Brentford Premier league match. Thank you

The gents behind the bar were so friendly and really made our experience! We didn't feel rushed, didn't have to wait and were served with a smile and a chat - what more could you ask for! Enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back!!

Stopped for beer then decided on food

I call into the Railway Tavern whenever I'm in Richmond. I have never been disappointed with the service or , the food, I spent an enjoyable evening with friends there and will call again, great atmosphere created by friendly staff..

Was visiting Richmond on a Saturday that happened to be very busy with rugby. Was lucky enough to get a table at this busy pub as some fans were heading to the match. Ordered food and drinks at the bar and enjoy a rugby match on the tv until our food arrived. Food was delicious and hot. Service at the bar and food drop off was great! Atmosphere was fun and full of rugby fans. Highly recommend and will definitely be back when in the area.

Best pub in Richmond, drop in everyday. The staff are so friendly. The manager Darren provides a great service and I always leave feeling satisfied

I was on holiday and called into this Gastropub on Halloween evening ,we had a lovely meal the fish is amazing the staff were very attentive ,friendly and the service was great as we were starving after shopping all day ,the guy behind the bar is Irish and had time to talk with us definitely recommend the pub and food and will return if in Richmond again

Lovely pub, great atmosphere and the staff are amazing

Great pub, friendly and a nice one man show on Saturdays. Close to Richmond station. Good selection of taps. Also some of the booths have TVs which is great to watch the game in private.

Not to my liking the food was over priced beer wasn't that good either the place over all wasn't bad but I will not be going back

Nice pub, came here to eat and watch rugby, Totally disappointed with the food, I ordered a fish and chips, there was a lovely tartare sauce and the fish was fresh but the chips were old and lukewarm and the mushy peas was ice cold - expected a lot better for the price especially since the pub was not remotely busy. Nice atmosphere but wouldn’t get food here again.

It's OK,food is very expensive,I'll go to weatherspoons for that.

Excellent beer, effecient and friendly service,I recommend the game pie

Very good. Extremely nice staff and food was better than expected. The atmosphere is also more pleasant than usual in this kind of establishment, because the music is not so loud and very well chosen. Convenient location near the train station.

Dropped by after a long time away from Richmond for the Rugby. The old tavern is still there and ever better for it. Refurbished and looking great, had a burger in their BBQ which was delicious and a few pints ahead of the all blacks game. Plastics in match day was a bummer but understandable but the drink was cold and the plastics were the good quality ones.

watched a live football match between Liverpool & Arsenal 27Oct24 good atmosphere, proper food, chilled beer

I was here a few times ,is it nice and clean, I had few pints, unfortunately the beer wasn't so good , was too bitter (of course my opinion) , next time I will try something else..

Cosy pub near Richmond station. Slightly distracting smell possibly due to a cleaning agent used

Absolutely lovely pub, great atmosphere. The Nicholson Pe Ale is a lovely pint. It's perfectly located next to the Richmond Train station.

Great. Really nice meal and the staff are very chatty

Good pub, close to station and buses. Beers are good with a wide selection.

A great station pub by Richmond station! A great size for large groups, good pub grub and a little beer garden 🪴 Always a good shout whether it’s to stop off at coming into Richmond or heading out, you are always welcome and the late nights are great fun. Something for all drinks, food, music and sports!

Nice enough pub to meet up and eat.

Nice pub. Lively caters for. Food, sports and good selection of beers

the main was missing the vegetables and the puddings were missing the custard

Always have a great time at The Railway 👍

Put the toon game on in our booth

Very nice pub,clean and friendly. I had a cheese and bacon 🍔, the meat in the Patti was very good quality and I ordered a drink with my meal and got a meal deal which was a good surprise.

Only had one round, but nice friendly pub with good service.

Very clean,staff very efficient.

Great place to go and watch the football. Probably the only place in Richmond that shows all the games!

Good selection of beers, Nice for a relaxing pint after work.

Best pub you will go to. fancy a drink? Head to the tav

Great, friendly service. They were particularly accommodating with my daughter who was having a tantrum, giving her colouring and a J2O.

excellent service, dan the chef makes an amazing burger

Never been before, just called in for one drink haf a pint of Pauliner at lunchtime, good barman. 👍 😀🍺🍺

The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere really laid back. We had a great lunch and will definitely be back the next time we're in Richmond!

We had fish and chips and burger and chips. Both were delicious. The fish was fresh and not brined and the burger was like home made! Friendly staff, very pleasant experience! 😄

Lovely barman/manager who looked after us for my mum's birthday. Took some last minute food orders and kept one of the dishes hot for a late comer. Much appreciated 👍

Perfect place for a nice cold beer 🍺

Well impulse visit having walked passed viewed in looked at the menu , we was wanting a bite to eat before returning home to Leeds. Busy pub at 18:00 although yes the euros was on and been screen on the tvs there. Table taken and food drink ordered up, helpful friendly staff. What didn’t seem long our food appeared piping hot 2x bangers and mash … very tasty indeed. Menu is quite varied and good value for money. If I’m back or we are back it’s return here. Recommend

Whenever I am in Richmond, which is about once a month, I always visit The Railway Tavern. I even took my (now) wife there for our first date and even she (who is very, very hard to please) was impressed. Always a very warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. The food is lovely and the outside area is fantastic, especially in the Summer. Simply put, if you are in Richmond, head here and you will not be disappointed.

The atmosphere was electrifying. My friend and I was very hungry, so we asked Ali for a suggestion. Ali was very friendly and generous, and he recommended Nicholson's Burger and Halloumi Fries. The food was absolutely delicious. We spoke with the chefs, Pete and Daniel, to express our appreciation. We've never tasted such a great dish before. If you enjoy watching sports, you should definitely visit this pub—it offers fantastic food, cocktail 🍹 and mocktail 🍸 🍸 and ambience is fantastic 👌👌

Always excellent service whenever we have been. It’s quick, efficient and the atmosphere is always top notch. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area or visiting.

My husband and l visited a couple of times while on holiday in the locality and really enjoyed our dinners there...Staff were very friendly and helpful..

Great pub - super staff and food great.

£7.60 for a pint of watery Paulaner £6.80 for a couple of loaded chips, tasty but very little and crazy money. Another rip off pub, and thety wonder why the pub trade is going down.

excellent location, right next to Railway/tube station. very busy on day we came due to Rugby at Twickenham. Small bar so bit of a bum fight to get serviced but the 3 bar members work really hard to get through everyone as quick as they could. Nice and clean and welcoming atmosphere. will call again.

I'm not really sure I can comment on atmosphere as I was there on a Sunday morning for breakfast but judging by the effort they had made for the Euro footy, with all the flags etc it's not difficult to imagine the atmosphere being great😂 I can definitely say the food was good, drink choices looked really good (too early to try sadly!) and the staff member I spoke to was very friendly. Absolutely recommend.

The man who served me was brilliant, cannot fault, but the barmaid saw me waiting and just stood there and served a man who came to the bar straight away. Only reason for 3 stars for service.

Heading off to the rugby coming in from Windsor. Great spot with extreamly friendly staff. They sorted me out with the free shuttle servuce to twickers. Excellent guinness

I will return. I really liked the service and the food, everything we tried was very delicious, such as chicken schnitzel, fish & chips and nachos 😋🤗

My friend and I recently visited the Railway Tavern in Richmond, and it was a brilliant experience. The food was absolutely stunning! It was clear the ingredients were high quality and cooked to perfection. The drinks selection was also excellent, with a great variety and everything very well-made. The pub itself had a great atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. Highly recommend the Railway Tavern for anyone looking for a delicious meal and great drinks in a welcoming pub. 5 stars!

Great beer !!! finally got the difference between a canned and fresh Guinness! Rocking burgers to go along with it, love being there with my mates, and the super friendly lads.

Visited the railway again this year, but disgusted to see bar staff pouring contents of drip trays into glasses and then topping up and serving them. I thought that appalling practice stopped years ago. Won’t be visiting again after this.

Went here on a Saturday for food and a drink. Despite the pub being incredibly busy, I got served very fast and the staff were all lovely. I had a chicken burger which was made by the chef named Sacheen and it was phenomenal. I didn’t know they had live music as well which was a real treat! I will definitely be back again 😊

Great place to grab a pint after work and watch some sport, staff are lovely and very helpful even the owner was downstairs serving and was friendly believe his name was Daren the team helped us find a great table to watch sport definitely will be back for the euros

This pub has a great location, conveniently situated right next to the train station. The staff were exceptionally friendly. While the "beer garden" is more of a shaded patio area at the back, it's still a nice spot to relax. I only went for drinks, but the food I saw being served looked fairly decent. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick drink before catching a train.

Staff need to smile little and need to be a little more friendly

Pre Royal Navy vs Army drinks prior to travelling to Twickenham.

I was pleasantly surprised with this pub. The food was good too.

Sadly, there were problems in the kitchen and we had gone there to eat but were unable to do so. Very well pulled pints of Proper Job and Guiness though

Great place for watching 👀 sports.... Atmosphere is insane 😳 🔥 😍 👏

wood panelling, leather seats, good beer, football on but not too loud, lots of space - very welcome retreat!

Really nice and beautiful place. Genuine. But : that "music" ??!! Come on... (update) I meant it's more muzac, McDonald's like, than British pop and rock tunes. We'll come back, though ! Have a good day.

Loved the ambience and sitting space......

A quieter than expected pub just down from the railway station. Plenty of space inside with a little raised area as you enter and heaps of seating out the back together with TVs to watch whatever sporting event you want. There is also outdoor seating to the side out the back. The staff were nice and The Guinness was great as was the Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

Although have been around Richmond for a long time, only in the last couple of months found The Railway Tavern to be a friendly, welcoming and functional place to visit. Friendly - Everyone who has served me has been polite, chilled and friendly. No issues whatsoever! I'd name some names, but I'm real all are just as great- keep it up guys. Welcoming - Many one off pop in people, but has its few regulars to add to the charm of the place. Atmosphere is great, parts that are quiet and parts that are more lively bar. Functional - I quite often work from home. So being able to grab a booth seat that had plug sockets and USB is good. Added bonus I really like is they are tucked right away - could be great for those who are anti-social and like to be left alone (like me sometimes), but mostly can have those quick calls on Zoom / Teams for work and not have background noise. Perfect! I can't rate the food myself as haven't had it yet. But those I've seen, it looked good. Hidden little secret in the busy town - today is Sunny and beer garden is quiet. Don't think people know it's here. All mine, it's quiet and gets captures the sun 🌞 Look forward to returning again!

Nice pub with ample amount of screens to watch football.

The food was delicious, a little bit pricey but not too crazy. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff were amazing! It was my birthday and they made the extra effort for me (I think Anooj was our waiter - shout out to him!) Will definitely go back!

Only popped in for glass of wine and a beer but found a very pleasant atmosphere and extremely friendly staff 23/11/23 was in Richmond and again popped in this time we had a couple of their famous pies and was extremely pls and again atmosphere was great and staff extremely helpful and pleasant 2/4/24 Again popped in after the theatre and still a great pub with great selection didn't have food this time but really enjoyed the visit and forgot to get my Nicholsons stamps .

Great pub, lovely food and good prices. Highly recommend a visit.

Very cozy and very tasty 5 stars.

Great staff with great hair even greater shiny steps

Great place to watch sports and enjoy a pint. Good pub food. Plenty of space.

Very clean, on the expensive side

We never ate in the pub but the service was great and the atmosphere was too. The locals were friendly and welcoming, a great place to have a drink.

We had a great experience with the fantastic staff. They do fantastic cocktails and great ales 🍺 Fully recommend for anyone looking for a cozy atmosphere and welcoming staff. Cheers

Great place for a drink, we called in just in time for live Music

A visit to the Railway Tavern on a wet spring day. All went well! A fine selection of keg beers and ciders along with a generous selection of cask ales. A lovely pub close to Richmond station. It is large with lots of crooks and nannies. A small (wettish) patio garden at the rear. Great service, a good place for a pint in Richmond.

Made to feel welcome by friendly experienced staff. Clean,organised and well maintained. Great beer.

Service is so good # especially anooj 🔥

Great food, great staff and great service 👍🏻

Great food, including vegetarian at reasonable prices.

Weird place. Beer and service well above average. Stay at the front near the bar all is well but go towards the back seating area and the atmosphere turns.

A great pub in Richmond by the tube/railway station!

just seeing friends for a quick drink

A tricky one to rate as I sort of like the pub as it’s nice and near the station and it has sports in. The music got cranked up quite high on a Friday evening, which was a bit annoying as there was a decent atmosphere and the music wasn’t very good! I think the main issue is £6.30 for a pint of Landlord. I wish wages went up as quickly as their prices! It’s way too much and you can get a decent pint of ale much cheaper at various pubs within a five minute walk, so there’s little point in paying that much. For example, The Sun Inn shows sports and a round there is much cheaper. I won’t return any time soon on that basis and will be wary of Nicholson’s pubs because of this. It’s a shame as they have interesting venues within their portfolio, but I’d rather go without than pay those prices. I get that they do a cheap ale night earlier in the week, but that’s when everyone is being good so not really of too much use. Edit: Appreciate the reply and note the ale offer extends to three days which is more than I’ve seen advertised previously, so that’s good to know. Perhaps I’ll try a cheaper ale as I was going to have a Pride and changed my mind. It’s still the most expensive pint of Landlord I have ever bought though and I’ve had plenty of them!

Food was great. Macaroni cheese and 3 starters was enough for 2. Service efficient and in good time. Bit noisy with rugby on just everywhere but it was Wales v Scotland. Been there before when no TV on loud .. much nicer! Would be nice if there was a quiet section.

Met up with a couple good friends. Nice pub.

Good place to watch the mighty Wolverhampton Wanderers

Convenient for a lunchtime meal and a couple of drinks.

God awful service, i told them fries were old and over cooked. Waiter pretended to substitute fries, as I was paying for friend I did not want to embarrass guest but I will never return. Shocking
