After being closed for 3 weeks of renovation, I am delighted to be back in ‘The Shaftesbury’ for a re-opening lunch. They’ve done an amazing job of updating and improving the style, layout and decoration of the pub whilst maintaining it’s charm and character. It still has that unique country pub atmosphere and warm welcome from the fantastic staff. Too many friendly staff to mention individually but special mentions always needed to Karolina for hosting such a great reopening for the community and Jack who always gives the best, friendly service. The new menu is great and I can highly recommend the chicken off the new grill which was tender and packed with flavour. The secret garden has been beautifully redone and is now a superb natural, escape from busy Richmond. Definitely worth stopping in whether you are a regular or visiting the area.

Absolutely incredible local gem! We loved the atmosphere, service and a gorgeous FOOD! We ordered a meat sharing platter - and the steak was fantastic - and paired with the cauliflower soup, absolutely delicious! One of our friends also got a pie - also super tasty. Out of all things we ordered, probably the houmous, brownie and negroni were 3/5. Otherwise we would highly recommend the sharing platter, pie, beer selection, bakewell desert cocktail, sticky toffee, blood orange sorbet and apple crumble. It can get quiet loud during match times, but they are dog friendly and if you like your sports and socialising while having a great food - this is a perfect place. Will definitely return again!

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere, great service! Update: April 2023. Visited again with friends as I enjoyed it so much the first time. The standard was not up to scratch. Roast chicken was okay but the sides were not hot. My friend said her Beef was almost mooing because of how underdone it was. Equally disappointed by the apple crumble- the top part was almost inedible, too hard and like warm. Perhaps we caught the chef on a bad day? We didn't say anything as we were celebrating a birthday. A real shame as it wasn't cheap! I must add - service was still great.

Visited today for the first time with two friends and had an amazing time. Manager was lovely, we asked to sit outside but there was no space. When a table did become available she gave us first refusal. Two of us had the trio and our vegetarian friend had the veg option - food was glorious! Chicken was not dry, pork belly was juicy, beef was tasty. Veg was delicious and the gravy, perfect. The roast potatoes were very crunchy on the outside, a little too crunchy for me, but they were perfect inside.
