The Princes Head, Richmond

Get the feeling this may go the way of the Goathland Hotel..... read the tripadvisor reviews for what happens when TV and pubs combine. This is the pub used in Ted Lasso. They have Richmond AFC scarves behind the bar and a sign on the front saying "Music is Life". A play on the catch phrase used from the show. As a result, the bar on a Saturday afternoon was packed with people not necessarily ordering drinks but taking selfies, from multiple angles. I didnt mind, as I was a tourist myself, but I can imagine it would be annoying if it was your local. Beautiful pub, with great views over Richmond Green. ESB was in fine form. I did try to eat here but even though the restaurant area was free of punters - a claim was made that all tables were booked from 2pm. More likely, they didnt want to have a solo rambler taking up one of the spaces. Fortunately, the Cricketers was next door - which was a stunning find!
