Albany Thames Ditton Queens Road, Thames Ditton KT7 0QY

"Well that was most enjoyable! A feast of food. Scallops to start and roast chicken as a main with delicious veg. Given part of the leftovers in a beautiful box. But the best of all was the offering of a mini dessert and hot drink. I've been banging on about this for years! And they delivered in spades. A white chocolate cheesecake and cup of tea for £6! Honestly, a wonderful experience all round. Service was excellent too and lovely Mara took our picture as it was a reunion. There were quite a few kids, but on the whole well behaved. Just a bit tricky getting up the stairs with my sticks. In the summer, the view will be stunning of the river."

"Great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Very accommodating. Food was very nice. Dog friendly. Would be great to have water dispenser (as you do in the summer) and more low alcohol selection- there were no low alcohol wines available, only gin and beers"

"Wow! Great food, a good variety of differing drinks, good service and a great view across and along The Thames from the Riverside patio. The quality of the food was exceptional, beef brisket and double Gloucester pie has to be tried to be believed! Gorgeous and unusual puds too. Not cheap, but worth every penny."

"Albany Thames Ditton is a popular pub and restaurant with masses of seating including a double-level outdoor terrace beside the River Thames. Had the calamari to start followed by haddock fish cakes (choice of fries or salad) accompanied with a soft drink. The calamari was perfectly cooked with a crunch and a good sized starter portion. The two fishcakes were tasty and filling. Order and pay inside for table service. Paid under £45 for three starters, one main and two soft drinks. Great service, a strong food menu, beautifully presented food and generous views of the Thames makes this pub well worth a visit."

"My guest and I really enjoyed our lunch. Service was friendly and unhurried and the menu really impressive. I had the sea bass for my main course and it was perfectly cooked and presented. Although I live in Crawley, West Sussex, I will definitely revisit when I am next in the area."
