Red Cow, Richmond

Slightly wedge-shaped pub a small patio garden under a solid canopy set in the angle of a road junction. Modified interior with a mix of furniture in different styles, but the fancy bar-back is the main feature (and earns the place one star on Camra's national inventory of historic pub interiors). Harvey's and TT Boltmaker (£3.05, half) from the two banks of three handpumps.

Sizable and opened out internally it still maintains a pubby feel with some nice features like the fireplace remaining. despite six handpumps just two were operating on my visit with Harveys Sussex Best and Timothy Taylor Boltmaker The Choice.

This place has been quite smartly tarted up, with a fair amount of ceramic work and that designer touch of having different styles in each bit of the pub. Harveys Best is apparently their regular beer with the guest being Hogs Back Surrey Nirvana - very drinkable but premium-priced. Keg offerings were from the lies of Beavertown and Meantime. Thai and Cambodian food is available.
