    We were in for a drink and the staff were so rude and left us waiting for ages. One of them was coughing and sneezing and no standard hygiene in place like using a tissue or washing their hands. One of the staff - the older one who looks like a man seemed a bit drunk as well

    A lovely traditional pub on the lower end of Richmond Hill. Unburdened by the trappings of many over developed pubs, this is an absolute gem. A comprehensive selection of drinks, happily served by friendly staff give this place a feeling of relaxation. The locals are friendly, I can't fault it. Probably one of the best pubs in Richmond.

    Absolutely fabulous relaxing spot after a Sunday walk in Richmond park, warm welcome for people and dogs, friendly punters and a witty Yorkshire barman. It's a pint and packet of crisps and wine for the Lady/Lad kind of menu which is just grand.

    We went to this pub twice during our stay in London and we had a great time. The bartender is the loveliest lady who is a great conversationalist. She comes up with wonderful recommendations as well. I put her in charge of my drinks every time and all were wonderful! A random creep was talking to my mom and I, and she kicked him out (kindly and professionally of course). I want to come back to London soon just to visit. Thank you for everything ❤️

    Lovely, charming pub on the outskirts of Richmond town centre. Great beers served by a friendly and fun barman/licensee. Highly recommended.

    Tiny old school pub, perfect for a quiet pint. Very friendly staff and cute heated garden area out the back. Nothing fancy but perfect for what it is. Perplexed as to why anyone would give this place a bad review but I guess there's no pleasing some people!

    This is a great little pub, there are some disparaging reviews that refer to an incident that happened years ago under the old management. What they say does not apply today with the new management and staff who are all delightful people.

  • 5/5 Peter N. 1 month ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    Possibly one of the last few proper pubs still around with a great atmosphere if you spend the time to get to know the locals. Well prepared, good quality drinks at sensible prices and it's always nice to go and have a chat with the landlady and bar staff, who are some of the friendliest people you'll find behind a bar. Not sure how anyone in their right mind could give this charming little English 'boozer' a one star review.

    Very friendly small pub, with charm and warmth.

    Had a great two nights at the Victoria Inn and what a great Host Emma the land lady is. Thank you for a wonderful time. Didn’t eat there so can’t leave review for food.

    Unique local in Richmond. It's the neighbourhood's front room. A port in a storm for the older drinker.

  • 5/5 Niall M. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, enjoyable pub - felt like I was welcomed into somebody's living room! What I for in a pub

  • 4/5 Adverse C. 1 year ago on Google
    The small beer garden at the rear of the building is the best bit. No-one will find you out here which is away from the hustle & bustle of Richmond-Upon-Thames.

  • 5/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    Well looked after on a special afternoon for my mum. Weather and good service /food made for a very good visit for myself and a large group..

  • 4/5 Mark 1 year ago on Google
    Pub appears very traditional from the outside facade but this is not reflected by the more modern interior in my opinion. That said, bar staff are extremely friendly and pub offers a decent selection of lager and real ales.

    Beautiful pub and lovely welcoming staff, nice little garden, wonderful atmosphere and very happy to have found this pub!

    A sanctuary. Classic one room pub. Clean, pretty, comfortable. Super land lady. I'm going back. Tiny hidden pub garden at back.

  • 5/5 Joe O. 1 year ago on Google
    Charming pub , very nice people and such friendly service with outside seating and a rear secret garden and only 100 yards from Richmond Bridge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

  • 2/5 Reece S. 2 years ago on Google
    Myself and my friends got discriminated against and mocked for our taste in music without a refund on the jukebox. If I pay for a service I shouldn’t have to anticipate someone skipping songs I paid to hear. For reference I put on a mix of old school rock such as Toto/ Metallica and modern rock such as Linkin Park. That being said the service from the bar was good the drinks are some what overpriced.

    Popped in yesterday purely by chance. What a lovely gem of a find! Absolutely the loveliest, friendliest landlady, who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and sorted out some garden seating with heating! Will definitely make it a point to visit whenever I’m in Richmond!

    By far the most most accommodating pub for private events!! We recently had our Christmas party hosted at The Victoria Inn by the most incredible staff, Emma and Ian. They welcomed our vision with open arms, allowing us to take over the full pub inside and out! Applying graphic to the outside of the pub, renaming the pub for the night, dress and theme the inside, provide our own entertainment (musical bingo singer and a DJ!) and even wore branded t shirts all evening, all with a smile! The planning process with Emma was seamless, she has the best ideas and wants to make your private event so special. This shows, our guests couldn't stop raving about the homely and friendly atmosphere. I'll undoubtedly be choosing The Victoria Inn for future private events - the best venue for an unforgettable night - thank you!!
