My partner and I, who are slightly difficult foodies, regularly enjoy dining at the Richmond Vault…read more We love their delicious menu, fun atmosphere and super friendly staff. Recently, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, I was in desperate need of a last minute venue for my birthday party. In less than a week, the staff at the Richmond Vault helped us pull off a successful birthday party for just under 20 people. Along with the manager, the floor manager, and the chef, they cornered off an area of the restaurant downstairs just for us, put together a super delicious and dietary diverse canapé buffet-style menu (at a very reasonable price per head), allowed us to bring in a birthday cake from an outside caterer, were attentive to and served our guests well all evening, managed the open tab seamlessly and professionally... and all of this with friendliness and smiles from A to Z! These guys went the extra mile! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice dinner out in Richmond or for anyone looking for a place to have a small party of any kind. Thank you guys for making my birthday memorable!

But, I recommend coming in on the brink of starvation, because it's going to feel so good when you take your first bite! Next, there are a ton of topping options for your burger (too many to list). Add to that the dips available for the fries and you can custom order your dream meal. This location is fairly large and the service is good. I was in there off peak and I imagine it can get quite crowded during the lunch hour. The only drawback is the prices. It's a bit on the pricey side for a burger, but worth it.

I'm not the biggest fan of British burgers. Something about the beef isn't quite the same as…read moreAmerican beef, and therefore doesn't taste as nice. However, there are times when I want nothing more than to sink my teeth into a tasty burger, and GBK is as good a place as any to satisfy this craving. The food in this GBK is pretty decent. On my most recent visit, I had the small blue cheese burger (the one with sauce) and an order of sweet potato fries. We waited eons for our food to arrive, and I was already reaching the point in my hunger where I was becoming a bit agitated. By the time the food arrived, I was nearly in tears from hunger. Luckily, the burger and sweet potato fries didn't disappoint. My burger was juicy and generously slathered with the blue cheese sauce. The only think I might have changed was foregoing the relish--that stuff doesn't do it for me. The sweet potato fries were all sorts of greasy amazing. Whoever thought of the bacon aioli is genius. Seriously tasty stuff. At first, I was a bit disappointed with the size of the sweet potato fries portion, but by the end, I was filled with greasy goodness. On a side note, once I was at this location and I saw a child put one of the ketchup dispensers in his mouth. Talk about yuck-factor. I'm not sure what happened with that ketchup dispenser after it's adventures in that kid's mouth, but I'm guessing some poor sap shared his germs. If you're hungry for a burger in Richmond, GBK should do the trick, but perhaps avoid the ketchup.

My fav local restaurant. Very good food, super nice atmosphere. It has separates the bar area from…read morethe dining (and calmer) area. It's typical gastropub food, but in a good way. Quite stylish too. No TVs, no screaming fans. The menu doesn't change that often, and as we tend to go quite often, it's a bit of a bore. But that's ok :) I would recommend the chocolate bread and butter pudding. But don't have that after a rich & heavy main, or you might not get off your chair :D Also a nice place to have a cool bier and share a platter with friends. Enjoy!

We came here for a good-bye lunch for someone at work. No complaints about the food but our…read moreexperience definitely could have been better. It was already 1:30 pm, so the lunch rush was over. There were only a few tables of people in a big restaurant and we had made a reservation. They sat us right by the window, which we quickly learned was not very insulated. It was a very chilly place to be sitting on the day of the big snowfall in London. And most of the restaurant was empty! Our server wasn't very friendly and talked to us the minimal amount possible. Overall, I think the experience could have been great with a tiny bit more effort but no luck.

This dainty diner sits just off Richmond High Street and is less than a 5 minutes walk to the…read moreriver. I found the outdoor sitting area and the dim and modern interior of the Diner very inviting. As our previous restaurant had us wait a long while for a table of 11, we tried to get a table at Urban Diner and at the entrance, we were quickly shown to a table without a fuss. The waitresses were very welcoming and quickly attended to us. The lady servicing our table seems overwhelmed by the amount of people which came across as impatient but soon after, she warmed up to us and was nice to the kids which is always refreshing! There are quite a few choices on the food menu and some dishes come better as a sharing platter. I had some of the Chicken Wings, Chicken Fillet and Ribs which tasted good but the Salad had no taste to it as it was a bunch of chopped vegetables thrown into a bowl with no flavoring. The burgers looked really nice and those who had it didn't seem to complain-except that it was way too much to finish! The Mac And Cheese which came as a side however, I would not want to have again... Flavorless and not enough Umph! to it. Generally, the crowd were pleased but also had some opinions about some of the food. Overall, the good is fine but if I was to go again, I would stick to what they probably do best. Chicken and Ribs.

What an adorable little modern diner this place is! I was instantly attracted to the clean, hip and…read moresouthern American style of this place. We ordered a burger and a Reuben and they were huge, as expected. Both were good, the burger was a little bland but my husband said that the Reuben was the 'best ever!'. I would visit this place again, possibly for the ribs next time, which seemed very popular with the crowd. Service was also nice and quick, and the martinis were fantastic. Not spectacular, but stylish and decent.

This nearly got itself 5 stars, but not quite there...yet!…read more Meat & Shake was on my radar as soon as it opened in Ealing, it's near enough my local! We finally got round to giving it a try, and in all honesty I wasn't sure what to expect. The place has mixed reviews, and I had my reservations. I don't think my opinion of a place has changed as quickly as it did here when our starters came out! My doubt turned to joy at the first bite of the hot link sausage, closely followed by an amazing Buffalo wing...I knew we were on to a winner! Mains wise I had spotted one of the best looking ribs I had seen in a long time, so asked the waitress for the same thing. My partner went for a burger and we added chips (with balsamic and mayo)and mac n cheese. The ribs were as stunning as they looked, full of meat, juicy, tasty and all round heaven on a plate. The burger was good, but if you want the best burger in the world go elsewhere. it's the BBQ side of things that make Meat & Shake stand out so I really suggest sticking with that...chicken, ribs, hotdogs etc The chips were amazing, I had never even seen chips with balsamic on before, but after these will be covering them in it in the future! The Mac n cheese was average, nice but in all honesty we didn't' need it...the portions were big and we were pretty stuffed! So food wise this is one of the best meals I have had for the price range it's in, and will 100% be going back. The only thing that really let Meat & Shake down was the service, and it wasn't just us. 3 tables around us were moaning to each other about it as well. The issue wasn't staff themselves, it was clearly there was not enough of them. We waited ages to order, and in the end skipped dessert before I aged another week myself. It's a simple change that would have given this place 5 stars...get some more staff on busy nights, and organise them better! In summary, give this place a visit, and you won't disappointed! Maybe just avoid the hot sauce, as it's lethal!

Was relatively excited to visit this place after the positive Yelp reviews…read more After a 1 HOUR wait the food finally came after watching many people arrive, eat and leave in the time we waited for our food. Thankfully the food was really good. Highly recommend the Hot Links sausage. Most of the bbq sauce stuff is quite fruity which isn't my vibe usually. What really irked me was ordering a bootle of tap water for the table which took 20minutes while the waitress prepped two empty tables with water before us.

Tried 3 or 4 times to catch a staff member's eye but to no avail, after 15 minutes I went to the bar to ask someone to please take our order. Maybe they realised how poor an experience we'd had to that point but from then on, the service improved dramatically. Found the food very enjoyable and the desserts were divine. Not sure if I'd visit again as parking is awful in the area and there's a branch closer to me which I hadn't realised so will probably try that one next time. Our group had chicken with wild mushrooms (I cleaned my plate), fish pie and a veggie dish, for dessert we had apple & rhubarb crumble, banoffee doughnuts (these were to die for) & ice cream. We found the decor of the restaurant to be quite charming.

From what they offered, there was a superb choice of food and certainly more than enough to satisfy the toughest eater. Food was served to our group and what appeared was a total delight. Portions were exceedingly generous, arrived looking extremely inviting and tasted superb. Staff are brilliant and could not have done more to assist, or make our evening more enjoyable. I returned yesterday (Wednesday, May 03), to attend lunch with two friends. Our meal was equally excellent and once again the service was spot on. I would not hesitate to recommend this establishment to anyone and I will be returning here again and again,without question.

Our reservation was for 3pm and a few of us got there early so we grabbed a drink at the bar whilst they prepped our table (they do a couple of sound local ales so some of us went for those). The bar was busy, but not cramped, though very family-friendly, so if you're intent on a quiet pint with no kids acting up, this is probably not the place to go for Sunday lunch! When we'd all arrived we were taken through to the annex where we had a huge long table with plenty of room. The room was gorgeous, with chandeliers and a huge open fire crackling away. The menu was pretty substantial and we all ordered something different, deciding on a two course (main and dessert) option, but you could stretch to three if your budget and stomach capacity allows. The food was very good indeed (see photos). Service was efficient and friendly, they really do have excellent staff there. We stayed for nearly four hours which is testament to how much we liked it in there. Tip: The Crown has a car park but it's small and awkward, so it'd be best to either get there early to secure a spot or try and circle round the residential side streets for a space. otherwise

Best vegan burger I've ever had…read more I believe it is a Beyond Meat burger, but these guys must be doing something smarter with it than other spots. I've eaten countless vegan burgers in Los Angeles and London and this is by far my fave. The week special with the vegan bacon was the one that did it for me. I've since told all my plant-eating friends and they'll be hitting this joint up soon. Turns out the meat burgers are amazing too, but I'll never know. Location is pretty tucked away. The back of Hammersmith station, come out, cross the road and hug the left side of the Hammersmith Theatre (Apollo?) and walk down a bit. It's on the right side facing away from the station. Well worth it. Glad I went.

They had a good 4 options of types of rice/noodles with around 4 chicken dishes, I opted in for the chilli chicken and chicken teriyaki on some egg fried rice in a small pot (a good hearty meal by my standard) for only £5.20. Upgrade to a large for like 50p if you're feeling malnutritioned. For me, 5 stars was well deserved with the friendliness and informative customer service I received plus the sheer NOM factor of the food - absolutely no grease. I was full but not that gross full feeling which I complimented perfectly with a Japanese Green Tea can from there too. All in all, I kind of wish I was back in my uni days where I lived in that area, just so I can have such an experience regularly - Oh!
