Best Historic Restaurants in East Molesey

We had a superb meal - to be candid this a restaurant rather than a gastropub. My starter of clam chowder showed the skill of the chef: no flour, hit of sweetcorn, tasty fish which wasn't over cooked and a real depth of creamy flavour. Beautifully presented. Best clam chowder I've ever had (and I have been to Boston). My main of chicken breast that was broiled and finished on et char grill was equally exceptional. Great flavour and served a bed of roasted new potatoes and green veg with a sauce and a gravy, all beautifully presented (again). The ambience is great: lively but not noisy, a definite local and handy for the theatre, all set off by crisp white linen and sparkling cutlery and glassware. Thank you very much - we won't be looking any further next time we are in Richmond!

This is a little gem of a place located near to Hampton Court. The food is wonderful and reminds me of my trip to Japan. Cooking at your own table is a delight with all the help you need if you need it to enjoy the flavours of Japan.

First time visiting both London and the Gaucho in 10 years; brought some friends for a birthday celebration. I ordered the Lomo (which was cooked to perfection, medium rare) with bearnaise, a side of chips and two scoops of some of the richest ice cream I’ve ever had for dessert. Our server topped off the evening for us by surprising the man of the hour with a special celebratory cheesecake complete with birthday wishes spelled out in chocolate drizzle. An extraordinarily delightful experience at the Gaucho just like I remember all those years ago that I’d happily recommend to anyone, any time!

The White Swan is a lovely tradional pub by the riverside serving good food and especially good real ale, both Twickenham and Otter ales.

The staff were outstanding and went over and above during the meal. The food was great and being able to have a vegan desert was an added bonus.
