Night out friends in Richmond

“I popped in for a quick lunch before a meeting and I'm so glad I did. I was hoping it would be the same great quality food as it always was at Carluccio's and it exceeded my expectations. The service was attentive and efficient and the food did not disappoint. I opted for a salad but absolutely love the spinach balls that are in the gardiena dish and the waiter was happy to oblige. The spinach balls were lovely and the salad perfectly balanced, the avocado was perfectly ripe and as you can see, it wasn't simply a pile of leaves! The photo doesn't do it justice because I'd already started to demolish it! No wonder this place is buzzing, I will certainly be back!”

“Really delicious! Had burritos and the tacos. Guacamole was so fresh and amazing! Would recommend. Used WhatsApp and paid with card!”

“The owner Sophie is absolutely fantastic at pushing you out of your comfort zone to try something new and fabulous - And she's always right! Such a beautiful selection of clothes and the right advice and guidance to give you the confidence to wear them!”

“Lovely cafe with a welcoming spirit. Delicious coffee, fresh food and yummy pastries. Get your hands on the Borek before they run out!”

“Great wine shop with friendly staff and a fantastic selection of Portuguese wines. Regularly does wine tasting events.”

“We’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always consistent. Lovely food as always using fresh produce. Tonight I had the tagliatelle after seeing their beautiful fresh porcini. Pasta was homemade, perfectly al dente with ceps, porcini and truffle paste. I would happily eat another portion. Wonderful friendly service from Martina and the team.”

“Definitely need a car to get to this place. We went to a service held there after a funeral. Was really very good. Staff was excellent and the finger food spread tge put on was excellent.”

“We had mixed grill , naan bread , pilau rice and daal . Food was excellent , and so was the warm welcome of the owner . We will definitely come again .”

“It’s a decent hotel if you’re in the area . Parking 8£ get there early , I drive a pick up and parking was sufficient! Chap at the front desk is brilliant and helpful . Location is brilliant for the area , card machine wasn’t working at the restaurant but we sorted that and they were very helpful. Didn’t eat any food but the beer was decent ! Room was fine for the price , it was clean and bedding is good ! Fire alarm went off for some reason but could just be a fault”

“I like the variety of food (veggys and omnivores) good price and fast service. Coffee and cakes also excellent. If you are visiting the Archives or work close by, it is a nice place for eating or having a coffee; besides, the gardens and lake are beautiful.”

“I was there yesterday, and had a fantastic time, the wait time at the bar is great! The staff were lovey and even helped me find my hat that I lost whilst giving my best moves on the dance floor! I would recommend to all as the age range is quite balanced.”

“Great service, always polite. Had to change a recent reservation because flight got delayed, and they did without any fuss, despite it being train strike day.”
