Best Gastro Pubs in Hampton Wick

We had a superb meal - to be candid this a restaurant rather than a gastropub. My starter of clam chowder showed the skill of the chef: no flour, hit of sweetcorn, tasty fish which wasn't over cooked and a real depth of creamy flavour. Beautifully presented. Best clam chowder I've ever had (and I have been to Boston). My main of chicken breast that was broiled and finished on et char grill was equally exceptional. Great flavour and served a bed of roasted new potatoes and green veg with a sauce and a gravy, all beautifully presented (again). The ambience is great: lively but not noisy, a definite local and handy for the theatre, all set off by crisp white linen and sparkling cutlery and glassware. Thank you very much - we won't be looking any further next time we are in Richmond!

Great food, friendly and professional service, and a lovely, relaxed feel. We sat outside in the spring sunshine, soaking up the peace and quiet of the Common. Both diners had the burgers which were substantial and delicious, especially with the chunky hand-carved chips. For pudding, we had the creme brule and the apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla custard - both were presented beautifully and in exactly the right proportions - not too big nor too small. We were both driving, so unable to take advantage of the tempting wines.

The staff were so lovely. Really a lovely lunch. Service was a little slow due to them being busy and short staffed but they were so kind we didn’t mind

We came as a group of friends for my husbands birthday. Everyone's meal was fantastic. Only one slight problem was, the fries that came with my chicken Kiev were over done and inedible. If the Kiev had been served with the chunky chips the other dishes came with this would have been much better. Other than that everything was tip top

We had a really lovely Saturday afternoon lunch at The Victoria. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating - happy to change our booking as we extended our walk in a sunny Richmond Park. Food was delicious, staff hugely welcoming, great service and they even welcomed my muddy dog with a bowl of water and dog treats. Definitely recommend and will be coming back.
