The Princes Head, Richmond

A Fullers pub on a corner of Richmond Green, the wooden floor and wall panelling sets the scene for this traditional locals pub.Obviously once a two bar pub, now opened out, there are two entrance doors ,the glass of one etched with the legend "Public Bar" the other of course "Saloon Bar". Eight Handpumps in all dispensed Fullers offerings of Pride, ESB,Oliver's Island and Jack Frost along with a guest of Joules Special Reserve.There was some low level music in the background,not intrusive, a decent local crowd with maybe a smattering of out of towners, myself included and dogs were also welcomed but again unintrusive. A decent and comfortable pub.

Fuller's pub next to Richmond green. 8 real ale taps and food served.

PRINCES HEAD: the best pub in Richmond! :o) Even at this time of the year, when the cold nights are rolling in, the Princes Head always gives a warm+friendly welcome! (And you can't say that about too many pubs these days)! A traditional pub, with traditional grub (if you so require!) and 2 x tv's to watch the sport, while you sup &banter with the good folk of the parish. This is a multi-denominational pub, Earthlings, vegans, £50 notes and Vulcans are all welcome. I even saw a Klingon in the 'PH' one time, he hadn't been in here boldly before, he had a star-date but got stood-up! Too much ESB i guess..! :o) TJ

Good folk of Richmond... let it be known, that The Princes Head public house is officially (in my book) the BEST pub in Richmond..! Shock+awe..!! Right on Richmond Green, only a river view would better its location. The staff are always attentive and efficient. The beer and wines are good and more often above average. The food is good. If you like cricket you can sit and watch a local team play, whilst supping your pint; or watch a live game of football/or rugby on the t.v. screens. Or if its cold out, sit near a real log fire, and warm up with a brandy or a J.D.+ginger ale...!! :o) I'm missing the PH already..!! If you're drinking in Richmond you MUST pop into the 'Princes' as a benchmark for all the pubs you visit. Some interesting characters frequent this establishment. I have never had a 'dull' drinky here. :o) TJ

A well-located Fullers pub which retains a pleasingly traditional feel despite the inevitable refurbishments and layout alterations. A series of rooms has been partially opened out to leave various different seating areas around the central bar. There are also some patio benches at the front. Beer-wise, there are two banks of four handpumps offering Pride, ESB, Chiswick and a seasonal (Gales Spring Sprinter at £3.35, and very good too). Overall, the view across Richmond Green on a sunny day is reason enough to pause for a pint, but even on a dull day it is worth popping in for a visit.
