    Sussex Arms, Twickenham - pub garden
    Kate G.

    Once upon a time, pubs were places where the people provided the entertainment - not fruit machines, not large screen TVs, but people. Perhaps some live music, a game of shove ha'penny, a pint or three and lively conversation. Once upon a time has come again at the Sussex Arms. This pub, just off Twickenham Green harks back to the old days. There are up to 12 (I think) real ales on offer and six real ciders. The ales vary constantly and there is no one 'regular' ale. Just a different selection, even from tiny microbreweries, every day. All draught beer and cider is (as of this writing) £3.50 a pint and they operate a superb loyalty card scheme. Buy 9 beers, get the 10th for free. I use mine regularly. The food is good, though slightly pricey. The pies are made by AJ and are usually excellent, though the last couple I've had were slightly less good than usually (slightly over cooked meat and pastry). The atmosphere is lovely. It is an old-fashioned pub - no posh gastro seating here. A long bar displays the plethora of ales on offer and also hides the record player (yep, vinyl) that supplies any recorded (as opposed to live) music. There is a large, decently tended garden. There is live music many evenings. Again, like with the beer, there is something for (nearly) every taste. I attend with friends every second Monday for the Sessioneers (yep, not a great name, but you get the jist) - acoustic rock, folk, rock n roll and the like. You can also find Irish music, bluegrass, blues - whatever (older) music takes your fancy (I've never seen hip hop or the like, thankfully). The clientèle varies from the stereotypical real ale drinker (beardy, male, older - including a guy who is the spit of Walder Frey from Game of Thrones) through to younger families and singles. All in all, a pub I thoroughly recommend.

    Great pub in a great area! Lots of different beers on offer and a nice garden area outside. Can't recommend more.

    One of my favorite pub experiences while visiting London…read more The man at the door helped us find a table in a very crowded first floor room. We learned early on in London that pubs have dining rooms upstairs which usually require a reservation and then the bottom floor is for drinks and meals picked up from the bar. This visit was about stopping in for a pint and grabbing a bite to eat. After acquainting ourselves with the bar menu we ordered food at the bar and were served fairly quickly. All three of us enjoyed our meals but what was memorable for me was I had the best fish and chips here. The versions I had afterwards were not as tasty. The first floor was hoping and lively and loud so if you're looking for quiet this isn't it. Was great for people watching and hearing other people's conversations. And man, those fish and chips were good. Wish I could have gone back for seconds.

    Was really excited to visit White Cross, and maybe that's why I left wanting more. Place was very…read morecute and inviting, but often times I felt very cramped even when the place wasn't busy. They were accommodating to a couple changes, we just wanted to try as much as possible. Burger was very flat in flavor and the bun wasn't great at all. The fish and chips were great though, was not disappointed with that at all. Seems like more of a place to time up high tide and have a couple pints vs having a nice meal.

Had all the decor and the low ceilings and it just looks very cool. The food on the other hand, that could use some work. 2/5 Fish sandwich - was ok but not the best. The ratio of protein to bread needs work. 1/5 Buffalo chicken sandwich - served with blue cheese and I love blue cheese but this just didn't taste right. The flavors were all off and the coleslaw was bland. The handful of chips was like a baby's handful! I'd come back for a pint but not for lunch.

They must have redone it because the photos on here don't match up. We chose a table in the corner by the window and it was so cozy. There was a girl across with her two dogs and I loved seeing that so much! She was living my dream life. I love being in such dog friendly spaces. We ordered the fish and chips and the staff was really nice and brought us the food to the table and checked on us to see how things were. This was definitely the best fish and chips I had on my trip. Can't wait to visit again and grab a drink to go and sit outside to enjoy the view.

    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!
