British food in Kingston Upon Thames

“After an amazing haircut by John recently in his Kingston shop, I thought I'd pop into his soho venture to pick up some of his grooming products for my boyfriends birthday and it did not disappoint!! This shop is a fab wee find in soho, would definitely recommend taking a jaunt round if you're looking for a unique wee gift or a treat for yourself!”

“Perhaps the best Sunday roast I had in 8y living in the UK. I’ve been there with friends and I ordered the Jacob’s ladder to share. The meat was absolutely phenomenal, incredibly tasty and perfectly cooked (12h slow cook). Each vegetable served with meat (roast potato, carrot and butternut squash purée, etc) was flavourful as well as the Yorkshire pudding. The pub is very nice and it’s located just 5 min away from the old market square in Kingston. Friendly staff, reasonable prices”

“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!”

“Lovely atmosphere. Fantastic food. Very tasty and beautifully presented. The Open Posh Lamb Kebab is a must try. The house Prosecco isn’t bad either. Below scores are out of 10 Customer Service 8 Food Quality 9.5 Atmosphere 10 Presentation 9 Products 10 Location 9 Overall 9.5 I also like the sense of humour in the menu”

“Super yummy food! Great prices as well. I got tteokbokki with extra noodles and cheese and seafood pancakes. Would definitely recommend.”

“Lovely food and the general vibe is very friendly too :)”

“Such a hidden gem, really nice Portuguese cafe. We tried the natas, pistachio cake with coffees, flavoursome and very fresh, cake especially soft and delicious, well worth a stroll off the high street.”

“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!”

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

“The taste of the middle east right in the centre of Kingston. Food here taste heavenly”

“One of the few remaining “proper pubs” in the area and it’s fantastic - warm welcome from the bar staff, fantastic ales, friendly locals - so glad to have found the Park Tavern!”

“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.”

“The best fish and chip shop in the area friendly service, amazing food and healthy portions. You will not be disappointed.”

“I was recently searching for a quiet and cosy coffee shop to study in and came across this one. It did not disappoint. The lovely barista (Jazz) has offered great service both times I have been there. I am definitely going to be a regular from now. Today she was so sweet and even let me stay an extra 15 minutes after closing time after I told her I have a very important zoom meeting that I could not miss. Coffee is amazing, best vanilla lattes in Kingston, and the selection of pastries does not disappoint. Highly recommend! ;)”

“Returning customers. Great food served in front of you. Very clean and various foods for all. The atmosphere is great and staff are really friendly and welcoming. It's our favourite place to eat in Kingston. They are also generous with the food so you won't leave feeling hungry. Give this place a try. Ps. Me and my wife love the pokie and roll.”

“Love having my machiatos and panini's, the staff is so friendly and nice”

“We were walking along the riverfront and looking for a place to have a few drinks. None of the usual bars caught our eye, but the cocktail mene here did, so we went in. I have had the burgers before, and they are delicious, but I was pleasantly surprised by the cocktails too. The vibe and atmosphere was great too! Not just a good burger joint;)”

“Great pub with an awesome live music vibe. The new landlord is doing a cracking job. Decent beer on tap and a good pub menu as well. Highly recommended!”

“Pomegranate is local no fuss and good food restaurant. Pleasant owners, very friendly. Food is simple and tasty. Tried breakfast - lunch - dinner. All good.”

“My boyfriend and I order delivery from this place fairly regularly and have always been happy with the food, prices and portion sizes.”

“We went for a mother's day roast and it was delightful. Staff couldn't have been more accommodating, food was delicious and rapidly served. 10/10, couldn't have asked for more, definitely recommend!”

“I really liked this place because the members of staff were lovely and the food was excellent. The outside of the pub is also beautiful because of the lovely flowers. It was very clean and there was plenty of room to sit. The cheese toastie was delicious.”

“This is a nice and cosy pub along the river. We visited at the end of a shopping trip, its just outside the shopping area, so a little calmer. We were able to find seats inside and order a couple of drinks before leaving for dinner. There is a good selection of drinks, the staff are friendly, the service was good and the facilities were decent. We would visit again, especially in the summer to try sitting outside by the river.”

“Excellent place for Sheesha. Authentic place, tasty Sheesha! Nice booths with screens. Staff very friendly. A great place to just hang out, good music playing.”

“Well every now and then your find a gem and wildwood hits the bill !!! Service was very quick and attentive . I had the calamari for starters and the classic burger for mains the calamari was lightly seasoned as it should be fresh and vibrant the burger was cooked to perfection with fabulous quality beef seasoned again perfectly . Home made fries are perfectly cooked . My wife and daughter had pasta dishes and they said the flavours were so intense and aromatic .. Highly highly recommended and don't let that kitchen team leave you have keepers there !!!.”

“There curry’s are delicious. Has a very homely flavour to them which is very close to authentic Bangali/Indian curry. Had their lamb madras which was lovely, could be hotter but nonetheless was yummy. My favourite is their Dhaal dish! Absolutely scrumptious and has such a silky taste! The best Iv tasted in a very long time! Light in taste just the way it should be. I highly recommend! And food arrived piping hot!”

“Lovely friendly bar. Staff were amazing. Food was excellent. We had the beef Wellington which was the best I've ever eaten. Nicola the landlady was very welcoming and Charlie the bar man was very attentive and comical. Will be back next week for dinner after Christmas shopping. A definite yes from us.”

“Ordered dinner for family over the phone, arrived 10 minutes later, all ready and bagged up. Tasted delicious nice and hot would definitely go back there, as no problems parking.”
