Bar restaurant in Kingston Upon Thames

“This was our first visit as we were just visiting the area for a few days. It was absolutely fantastic. The ambience of the place is amazing and the food is so delicious, fresh and authentically Lebanese/Arabic. The portions were very generous and we just could not stop eating. The bread was freshly baked and so tasty. Amazing service from the lovely staff Levi and Ali who were very welcoming and professional. A very special thanks to the chef, Hani. We wanted a couple of things changed on the dishes we had ordered and we did not mention this before until we were served with our food. However, the chef gladly accommodated this and brought back our dishes exactly like we wanted and with a smile. Couldn't have had a better meal. He even made a special dessert for us which was just so tasty and mouth watering that we ordered another portion to take away with us. Please make sure you add this to your menu? Highly recommend.”

“A wonderful, authentic taste of Greece in our back yard. Home cooked food and you can almost taste the love in every bite. And yes, the moussaka was delicious. All of the starters were so tasty that I had barely had room for the main. The service was so personal and attentive. I will definitely be going back, and I have told anyone who will listen about the spinach pastry and cheese dip... I find myself having little daydream moments about it. Wonderful !”

“My husband and I are so pleased to see L'Assaggino opened in Kingston after our lovely experience at the Richmond restaurant. The staff at lunchtime today were very pleasant and helpful, the menu was varied & interesting and the food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced considering the very high quality of it; the wine we chose was so nice we wanted to buy some to bring home. We look forward to returning to what could well be our new favourite local. Well done to the whole team there, we wish you all continued success.”

“Fantastic fish and chips, always cooked fresh to order and very friendly service. A fantastic local fish and chip shop, our new “go to” place in Kingston Upon Thames for fish and chips in the evening!”

“One of my favourite place for dinner in Kingston aria . Always delicious food and great customer service. See you soon xx”

“A fantastic meal and great value for money, complimented by hard work, attentive waiting staff. We will definitely return for another “date night” here in the future.”

“So blessed that I found this restaurant near the river. It was a sunny day and good vibe at Cote. The staff were super nice and polite, food were ok. Definitely recommend to anyone who visits Kingston and wants to have a chill and relaxed day.”

“Just spent a lovely evening at the Black Horse for the first time. Took my family for a Sunday Roast and it was exceptional. Really great food and atmosphere, plus service with a big smile from the lad behind the bar Jamie. All in all a great way to end the weekend.”

“This is a lovely pub with a friendly and helpful landlord! It's near both bus and train station, in Kingston! Had a great pint of Irish real ale! We also had a really good meal, a mixed grill, which was also a good price and filled us up, we will b going back!!”

“Honestly best lunch/dinner takeaway place by far. 10/10. After trying many takeaways i'd say this place has the most variant of delicious dishes with quality. Their pizza is amazing.”

“Really lovely pub with great Thai food and very welcoming too. It is also dog friendly which makes it 100x better. My dog had the best time ever playing with the owners dog. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning very soon!”

“Very friendly place. Really enjoyed the food. Not too pricy for the quality. I totally recommend this restaurant. Leo from Switzerland (02APR2023)”

“Starters Mains and Desserts, on point no complains. The Burgers were Delicious and full of flavour. Food and Service was Excellent, Not too Crowded. They also have Happy Hour Cocktails.”

“Beautiful pub in lovely Kingston, part of London where you can be very quickly via train back in the centre, on the other hand you are round the corner of Hampton Court, Wimbledon, great location, Buzzing high street, amazing walk along the river. The rooms really well set, clean, comfortable, really surprisingly nice, exceeded my expectation. cozy, great stay. Highly recommend. Really helpful staff, just breakfast might have a better variety of food, I was missing bread and toaster, but it would not put me off, maybe just message for the team )) I had croissant and it also made it ))) THANK YOU!!!”

“We saw the new ant-men and it was awesome. The cinema was nearly empty so even better. Good service, clean and not too many kids in the theatre, absolutely amazing”

“Great play area for children aged 3-12 yrs old. My kids loved it! Lovely staff happy to help an assist you. This place is a clean and safe environment for kids to play and let off steam”

“We visited there after a long walk by the river, this is a great place to catch up with friends if you prefer a quieter environment in the afternoon. The club sandwich and pizza we had was very nice.”

“This is the second time that I have been to Kingston tenpin bowling in the last few months. I have to say this experience was 100% better than my last experience. I appreciated the level of respect I received and reassurance that this visit would be better. I have to say that the communication I had with the area manager gave me perspective and made me have better respect because he truly understood the meaning of customer service and customer loyalty. We also had food and I really would recommend the ultimate burger with the crispy fries. When you first look at it it looks like it's not going to taste very nice or have much flavour. But from the first bite to the last chip I enjoyed every single bite and I would definitely order it again.”

“If I could give this place 20 stars then I would because it is absolutely amazing in this place. The staff is amazing also the food is top quality, I highly recommend to try the chicken wings too!”

“I stayed at short notice due to horrible plumbing issues at home meaning I couldn’t stay in my flat that night. I was feeling very upset and let down by the managing agent of the building I live in as they had not been very helpful. Then I was checked in by Irena. She was so kind, helpful and caring and really made me feel better and start to smile when all of wanted to do was cry or scream till then. The room was decent and the facilities were as expected.”

“Amazing hidden gem, lovely restaurant and good service, a definite must visit!”

“Lovely place! From the moment we walked in, we felt so comfortable and welcome. Food is delicious, both savoury and sweet options didn’t disappoint. We got amazing service from Tomas who always made sure everything was to our liking. Can’t wait to go back and try more food.”

“A vibe! Food was great and the interior aesthetic was definitely insta-worthy! We ordered: Elote, Chimichangas, Beef burrito, prawn tacos, and Churros for dessert. Also the chicken taco from the kids menu - best Mexican food we've had in a long time, everything was zingy and fresh, and not stodgy or packet-tasting. Especially recommend the prawn tacos. Staff are friendly and attentive. Price was fair for what was offered. Nothing else like this in West London, particularly grateful that it's Halal! Will definitely be back with friends!”

“It was amazing experience at the Wych Elm. 5 star food and super friendly staff. We celebrated my husband birthday there and they prepared for the balloons and decorations. Highly recommended and we definitely will come back!”

“Friendly staff, food was tasty, generous portions and the shop looks clean. I will be exploring the menu further on the future.”

“Called in for lunch yesterday & enjoyed delicious food (my partner had the loaded fries & I had a chickpea burger with fries) & drinks (I had a yummy but somewhat potent Singapore Sling!). Had a real buzz about it (despite the fact it wasn't that busy at 12) & the attention to detail from a decor perspective was great (lots of nods to music & even a skeleton!!). Staff were smiley & efficient too. Will deffo go back again!”

“I've featured my local Big Smoke pub before but on the rare occasion I found The Albion mostly empty, and serving the exceptional A&H London Black from the official glassware, I figured it was time to feature a review. I believe this was the second pub Big Smoke opened, building on the success of The Antelope in Surbiton. It's been here as long as I can remember, and at one stage had a Gin Distillery out the back which I think is now just garden seating (opted not to pap this, but there's a huge garden there with beer festivals held in the summer). Indoors, it's familiar to those who know the chain. Wooden panelling, ample seating, vinyl soundtracked vibe, 10+ ales and ciders, a multitude of keg offerings too including 2 AF options in the form of Lucky Saint and their own AF beer which has gone down well over the past month. You get a mixture of students, weekend shoppers, families and real ale folk in here, it's a nice melting pot of booze enthusiasts and those looking for a pub not surrounded by Vape Shops, a step away from the town centre, outside of the rampant demolition you see taking over Kingston. It's sort of a home away from home, despite only being some 15-20 minutes down the road from me, a chain familiarity but still less polished than those brand new Big Smoke pubs you spot in greater London. With time to kill it can be a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of town, but with Rugby on and one of the few spacious family friendly pubs in the area it can get quite hectic. A nice problem to have for Big Smoke. Food again is similar to the other sites, a sort of BBQ meets pub grub style, with plenty of bits in-between to choose from. See the place pack out for weekends with roasts on, and various offers during the week. The pub dates back to 1845, little known about its history other than it was advertised as a sort of taproom with a view to watch the recreational sports on the green. Once Greene King, now Big Smoke, another one saved from mediocrity.”
