London's best bars in Kingston Upon Thames

“Had a fabulous evening at The Spring Grove recently. Staff were so friendly and accommodating to allergies that I have. The manager Alex was helpful with this and also recommended some tasty gins! I had the Porchetta to eat and it was delicious. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Excited to see the plans that the manager told me has for the pub!”

“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!”

“Booked the Boaters for a work Christmas meal and couldn't have been happier with the evening. Staff were friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The food was excellent and the table had been decorated beautifully with crackers! We booked on a Tuesday evening and there was a quiz going on the other side of the pub but this didn't disturb us at all.”

“Lovely pub with excellent beers. stopped by while visiting the area and was made to feel incredibly welcome by the staff.”

“Gorgeous decor and ambience. The staff there were totally out of this world. I was there working as a digital nomad during the day and despite the fact the young lady on the bar was alone in the morning, she went out of her way to check I was okay whilst managing other customers. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Food was delicious. Total gem of a place! I'll be back :)”

“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!”

“Can't go wrong with a hot dog from Woody's. Would also definitely recommend getting the loaded chips. The staff are incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is really good.”

“Nicole and izzie were amazing, so friendly and they gave an outstanding service. Drinks were perfect. Free sport on projectors and tv’s all around the place. There’s the option to play some snooker/pull if you’re up for it. Cheap drinks, student discount, a great mix of music (80s-present) and very friendly service. I would highly, highly recommend to anyone who wants a great night.”

“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.”

“The finest shisha lounge around filled with excellent customer service including top quality shisha flavours and pipes. The new refurb is top quality as well as the food produced by top quality chefs. I definitely reccomend this place for anyone.”

“A lovely pub in the centre of Kingston with many tv's covering all sports, the choice of beers were cheap compared with many of the other pubs in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place was a very friendly atmosphere. One to visit on your visit to Kingston.”

“Great gastro pub food and excellent service from attentive, non pushy staff. Good menu selection includes veg/vegan. Booked for a Saturday late lunch for our 1 year anniversary and enjoyed decent steaks (1 rare, 1 med) with blue cheese sauce (on the side), fries and mushrooms. Very relaxed, despite it being quite busy we didn't feel rushed so enjoyed our drinks and took our time ordering dessert - one apple crumble (pictured) and a very sticky (good thing!) treacle tart with a (slightly small but proper) blob of whipped cream. Lovely early Christmas atmosphere.”

“Always arrive here never wanting to leave, homely and always cheerful patrons”

“Lovely food for great value, and the service was quick, pleasant and polite. It was quite busy, although rushed off their feet, the servers still made time to make sure you were enjoying yourself/food. Would definitely recommend this spoons! (They have toilets downstairs, which I had not experienced at a spoons)”

“Consistently great range of big name and upcoming comedians in a small local venue you'd probably never otherwise know about.”

“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.”

“I cannot thank Frank and the Carter Bell team enough, after a long, expensive and painful process with another Solicitors firm it was a breath of fresh air speaking with Frank. Professional, clear and Concise from the get go, progress was made immediately from the moment i appointed Carter Bell to represent me, Perfect end result with a smooth process and procedures through out with the perfect end result. Thank you Frank and Team, it was a pleasure”

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