White Swan 26 Old Palace Lane, Richmond TW9 1PG

"Pleased with our Sunday Lunch at the White Swan. It's a nice, quiet location in Richmond with a warm atmosphere inside. The only downside is that the conservatory at the back where we were seated definitely feels like a step-down compared to rest of the place. The food was good, I really enjoyed the gin-cured salmon starter. The roast lamb was a little overdone for my taste but not bad and the vegetables were done nicely. My wife had the roast beef which she was also happy with and the parsnips were perfect! Service was initially pretty good but my only gripe is that we were left for about 25 minutes after asking for the bill."

"Lovely pub by the river not far from Richmond Lock, which is interesting in itself. Try their sunday roast - always good, well presented platters. Their rib eye steak,, , to die for! We got a warm welcome on arrival from the waitress, she was courteous and friendly. The service was excellent and the food was top notch, great value too! The bulk of their food is cooked on the premises. Check out their desserts, their sticky toffee pudding is awesome. Their chocolate cake with clotted cream and ice cream was one of the best that I have ever had this side of town. Parking is a short distance nearby.. but do check tides timetable!"

"Very good food with an original selection of starters and choice of real ales, served quickly and with friendly service. A very pleasant Sunday lunchtime in the garden, would definitely like to come back again to sample the rest of the menu in this well-run and cosy pub in a great location for all the attractions of Richmond."

"Richmond's White Swan provides some of the best pub food I have had. Both our mains were very good. My chicken, mushroom and bacon pie was prepared in their kitchen. It was full of the three ingredients and the flavor was wonderful."

"A lovely pub tucked away from the crowded pubs near the center of Richmond. It's not far from the center but being on a residential road, it feels more homely, inviting and cozy. Both the staff and visitors to the pub were very friendly. We ended talking to people from South Africa and Greece... The food is good too but not cheap. Well worth a visit."
