Being back in Richmond we decided to take the climb up Richmond Hill, primarily to enjoy the views and see the house where Mick and Bianca Jagger lived (even when they were estranged) but secondly safe in the knowledge that the Roebuck was at the top and I wanted to see if it was still an excellent pub post covid. And very pleased to report it is..
Still got the bank of six hand pumps on the small bar side facing you as you enter, but I spotted three more on the side that leads to the toilets on the left which I had not spotted on previous visits, so I am not sure if they are new or not. Five ales and two ciders were on and alongside the house GK Abbot there was Oakham Citra, Thames Side Brewery Harrier Bitter, Exeter Brewery Fraid Not and something badged as Roebuck Best Bitter, which I wasn’t sure if it was a brew from the Derbyshire based Roebuck Brewery, of something from GK badged for the pub. We didn’t bother to enquire as we only had eyes for the Citra and the Fraid Not and they were both in excellent condition.
Being blessed with a superb weather afternoon we took the beers to the terrace on the other side of the road. The view is so good from here that it is almost worth suffering plastic glasses for.

A surprisingly nice pub in a prime location up on Richmond Hill, enjoying the classic view of the river below. It is multi-roomed, with lots of ins and outs, generally low-ceilinged and full of historic-looking features. There is a tiny feel of corporateness, probably from the standardised menus and condiment sets, but somehow it is just a very good pub. On handpump were IPA and Abbot of course, but also Wandle, Oakham Citra and Exeter Lighterman, plus Old Rosie cider. (Tip - take a 371 bus up to the top to avoid the climb and walk back down!)

In an area where people walk past you wearing a set of togs that cost more than I would earn in a week, I was a bit apprehensive about what I’d find here especially when I clocked the Greene King livery outside. But fear not – this is run by a friendly, old-skool pair whose style means that some of the more upmarket customers reign themselves in a bit. Inside has been modernised fairly tastefully and retains a tight, multi-area’d and low-ceilinged layout. A big selling point is the view from the front window, as you sit atop Richmond Hill overlooking the flatlands to the Thames below (‘World Heritage listed’, I am reliably informed). You can also take your beer out to the bench opposite. GBG22 listed and there were four cask on, the two most interesting were Wimbledon Copper Leaf (NBSS 4) and Exeter Darkness (3.5), the latter of which the landlord recommended as he poured the Wimbledon – he clearly saw us for what we were! Had a bit of chat with him as he served, something you don’t get much of these days. Food is inevitably a big seller here but it stays the right side of the line from being a full-on gastropub, drinkers are very welcome. So this one is well-worth the shoe leather to try-out, good beer and good atmosphere.
