Hidden gems in Teddington

“Went here for the first time on Wednesday and was back on Friday for my wife's birthday. It is in a different league to you standard Indian. The chef is brilliant, a true gentleman and produces outstanding food. I can't recommend it enough.”

“The whole team at Miles and Bird are absolute masters of their trade! Their attention to detail in customer service sets them aside from all other estate agencies we ever had to deal with and their impeccable work ethic shines through all their communication. Their professionalism is outstanding and they clearly have genuine passion for what they do. We bought our new home with Miles and Bird and not only we received support and service that was over and above their duty on every level, they are also truly lovely people that you would be glad to meet. We are proud to now live in the same community as the team at Miles and Bird. If all service providers of any kind had the "Miles and Bird-approach", the world would be a better place! They deserve six stars.”

“The food was so delicious! Great service! Highly recommend! Definitely I will come back every time will be possible!”

“We were here for the Sunday roast and it did not disappoint . Best Yorkshire pudding we’ve ever tasted - fluffy, bouncy and crispy around the edges - perfection. Staff was lovely and accommodating, creating a cosy and lively atmosphere.”

“Been going to John’s for 40 years! Great haircut and service! Highly recommended.”

“Superb wooded area within a magnificent park. Even the rain did not dampen our spirits. Fantastic path to walk around with the kids and explore. In these tough and strange times nature is a wonderful distraction.”

“A must whenever in Teddington! Such gorgeous food and lovely vibe. The Waffle with hand cut bacon and truffle butter is superb, as are the staff. Incredibly friendly and welcoming. Well done team Cafe Benedict!!”

“My favourite place to eat in Teddington. Excellent food, from a refreshing small menu, at very reasonable prices. Great for a quick lunch, or dinner. Fish fragrant aubergine is a standout”

“We frequently visit Teddington and absolutely love this coffee shop, the interior decor is beautiful, good vibes, reasonably priced and the food is great!”

“Great meal last night for a party of 10. Lovely food, fast service, we ordered drinks etc from the bar, so there was no confusing bill to split. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Thank you”

“July, sunny weekend, and still enough places for a group of 8 to sit and enjoy the food and beer. Food was great, great selection of beers, service was good and the secret garden at the back was a bonus. I really not sure why the pub next door is so full when this little gem was half empty, but we took it to our advantage.”

“Excellent food, service and ambience. Waiting staff are prompt and attentive, without bring suffocating. Always with a smile. Attractive, well kept restaurant, bar and garden settings. Menu carries a wide range of tempting dishes, without being a catalogue, good wine list. Recommend the sticky beef with coconut rice - lovely piece of braising steak in a wonderfully glazed sauce of ginger, lime and soy sauce.”

“While I think the initial reaction was 'another coffee shop? at least it's not an estate agent' for most people in Teddington, Local Hero being a new addition to the high street is a dream. They've played into the fact that they're a coffee shop, and not a brunch/dinner/lunch place, and the focus on great coffee pays off with consistently great coffee. (although the pastries and small bites really are great too!) Family run with two other places in SW London, there's a range of different coffees, with all your usual oat/soy/alternative milk, with LH's house roast that makes for a great espresso - one of the only places in the area you can have a magic too (think flat white, but punchier!) Add on friendly and welcoming staff, and Local Hero is a winner for anything from a morning wake up call through to meeting a friend for a chat over a great tasting coffee. They're also dog friendly, which is a huge plus!”

“My family and I love being members here. Great facilities, very clean, and plenty of special events for the whole family to enjoy. Our favourite activity has been boating up the Thames all the way to Hampton Court on a beautiful sunny day. Food is also exceptional and we're looking forward to the new members café very much. Highly recommended!”

“Great pub run by a fantastic and super friendly team. Karaoke night not to be missed! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
