This is really a lively secluded site of Richmond. It's set in a courtyard between a back street &…read morethe river. It's nit a farmer's market in the sense that there are tons of fruit & veg stalls. To me it seems more like a delightful slow food market. I had a delicious Buckwheat gallette (a kind of crepe) with spinach, French brie & cranberry sauce while enjoying the sunshine. Everything was prepared from scratch, so I had to wait patiently. Other stalls were offering fresh coffee, Ethiopian, Indian, North African and middle eastern foods...plus a gluten-free cake stall. It was so peaceful with people just strolling about to the music of the fountain in the center of the courtyard. Very classy, very nice!

Update: this is definitely the best if the twickenham trio of bbq joints. Staff are quirky but very friendly. Dulce de leche icecream/shake is to die for. Wings excellent. Sweet potato fries great. St louis ribs good. Beans with pulled pork very nice. Avoid the mac and cheese options, and pickles. Update 2: chilli watery, lacking in depth. Corn bowl okay. Slaw good but spicy.

Well, it was not what I was expecting! I went with some colleagues for lunch and I wasn't thrilled…read morewith the prospect. The outside and inside decor look like a really terrible American low-quality food chain and I wasn't excited to try it. But! We had the loveliest waitress, very attentive, very happy to walk through the menu and spot on. The guys had banana milkshakes and I loved that they came with little bright green curly straws - cute to see these manly men with their petite straws. The food was really lovely too. One colleague got the hot dog - it was incredible looking, enormous and slathered with stuff. I did think it would be impossible to eat with your hands, but he proved me wrong. My chicken wrap was really tasty and nicely done, and the fries were delicious - possibly the best I've had in a while. When one friend couldn't finish his sausage platter with mac and cheese, the waitress cheerfully wrapped it up for him so he could carry it away. Nice! The music was terrific, a great mix of old blues. So why oh why is there a big screen telly playing current music videos over the bar, complete with naked writhing women and gangsters? Shut it off - you're ruining the vibe you actually got me to like. Is it cheesy? Yes. But it's supposed to be. And it's good. But shut off that damn tv.

It has a cosy feel to it and I love that you sit surrounded by Italian products all around. The menu isn't massive but covers breakfast, sandwiches, pastas, salads and sharing boards. The coffee is bang on if you like your espressos! Staff are attentive and recommend the special of the day. Service is good and you feel part of the family sitting inside. Sharing board was delicious and full of fresh goodies. Bread was amazing and the oil and vinegar really was delicious. A great place to drop by and relax with a coffee or to bring friends for a drink and chat!

On the shopping front, I try to buy a range of items but each time I go there the item is either not carried at all (but it is by their much smaller Camden store), or is out of stock. On the eating front, I've never been a great fan of Whole Foods' congealed hot section, which is as bad here as it is the world over. However, the cooked to order section here needs improving. I had the beef nachos here the other day and the beef had little flavour and the nachos themselves had a strong flavour of lemon washing up liquid. But the roast is good. Just a little improvement could make this place much better.

When we arrived at the station, we weren't that clear which direction we were supposed to walk, but we were clear that we needed something to nosh before facing all that flora at the gardens. The Tyrollean-looking A-frame looked inviting, especially when we walked in and saw all the pre-made sandwiches and baked goods in the display case (photo: https://bit.ly/3xwtImL). It was a tiny spot with all the seating outside. Jamie W. and I shared a £2.50 Croissant (photo: https://bit.ly/3B8qg2H) and a toasted £4.50 Turkey & Cheese sandwich on a crusty baguette (photo: https://bit.ly/3L61qVT). To wash them down, we ordered piping hot £3 Flat Whites (photo: https://bit.ly/3Dk7A2W). Funny thing was that we were on the opposite side of the station, so we crossed over and discovered a whole area of cafes and shops which we could've perused before heading to Kew.

Definitely not a good place for a romantic evening, has quite a casual atmosphere, but for me this adds to the character of the restaurant. The service is fast and its a nice place to grab a takeaway if you don't fancy eating in. Although they do have a BYOB option with only a £1.50 corkage which makes it really reasonable!
