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!

Fullers tied house,with good brown glazed exterior tiling but with an interior that has been modernised and lacks charm.The front section has dark wood flooring and a long bar ,any previous sub division into a public and saloon is long gone.There is a small restaurant to the rear right and you can walk around the interior to find a rear section before the high tables reappear down the side with windows over the alley.
It's opposite the Green and cricket pitch and has seating outside,but the long flex handing light bulbs over the bar and a dirge soundtrack of R&B crap lowers the tone inside.
Fullers London Pride,Hophead and ESB are the regulars,I had a Dark Star Galaxy Haze at £3.35 the half ! and didn't taste the 6.5% ABV (NBSS 2.5).
I much prefer the Sun not far away ,this pub is full of tourists on the Ted Lasso trail (only the exterior shots are of the pub,interior shots studio based) and has a very transient customer base.

Spacious Fullers pub with an envious position facing Richmond Green which has been well described by other reviewers. Four Fullers Ales on for our visit with Pride, ESB, Oliver’s Island and the current seasonal which I can now not remember.
We did visit on a fine balmy evening which makes this one a good choice for Alfresco drinking and we parked ourselves on the pavement section outside. But during fine weather they will ask you if you intend taking drinks onto the Green itself as they will serve in plastic if you do.
Good pub with a good location.
