The Britannia Richmond - London

We’ve passed by The Britannia many times between Richmond High Street and The Green but never before stopped by for lunch. On a late summer’s Sunday at lunchtime both the main bar with some ornate Victorian fireplaces, champagne bottles on the wall, and wooden floors and the garden were available. Although a la carte was available it seemed churlish not to opt for a set lunch with the likes of sirloin of beef, roast chicken or even halibut with all the trimmings preceded by such pleasures as cheddar soufflé or game terrine.

The Britannia is a great place for a meal. We were a large group and the waitress was attentive, polite, informative. The food was delicious and the garden and terrace area were absolutely beautiful since we had great weather that day. The restaurant in on a lovely street amidst quirky and fun stores. Richmond is beautiful. Also great coz Ted Lasso was shot here. Would love to go back. The chef was kind enough to organise some vegetarian food which was not on the menu so that was wonderful.

I was meeting my cousin from America for Sunday lunch so we decided to try The Brittania and it was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was a really nice atmosphere. We did have to ask for extra crackling but they quickly obliged.

I had the most delightful evening at the Britannia, returning after a long time. It’s always been great, but it’s just gotten better! The manager was so welcoming and gifted me a glass of bubbly on arrival for my birthday, so lovely! Then he let us choose where we wanted to sit. The menu was varied with several seafood options too. All the food was of a very high standard. I had the tempura prawns with a very light and crispy batter and tasty prawns, then the lamb rump with dauphinois potatoes and green beans. It was delicious and the meat was cooked exactly as I’d asked. A substantial wine menu offering also. It had more of a restaurant feel than when I last visited, with white table cloths etc. but I think this works as felt more of a special dining experience for a birthday. Thank you so much for a great evening!

This is a lovely historic pub/restaurant tucked away in a little side alley. The bar area was quite busy for a Sunday evening and we were shown to a table in the dining room on first floor which has an outside terrace. We chose from set menu which was excellent. Service was friendly and professional. We could only manage two courses but enjoyed a coffee on the terrace to finish. I would have given 5 stars but the ladies toilets were a disgrace. Broken toilet seat, overflowing bins and not very clean. It's a real shame because everything else was perfect.
