Kingston’s riverside local

This winter, settle down in front of our roaring-log fires (all crackle-and-glow, the perfect antidote to a grey afternoon), a steaming mug or a rich, winter-ready cocktail in hand. Around you, hearty, flavour-packed dishes arrive (think slow-braised meats, golden-crisp roast veg, and pies so indulgent they practically hug you back), the cheerful clink of glasses, and the warm hum of friends and family all around. Even when the weather outside is wild, the views of the River Thames and Kingston Bridge (honestly, breathtaking even through the drizzle) make us a destination worth every soggy-minute trek.

Whatever the occasion, we roll out the welcoming, fire-side treatment with our easy-going, friendly service. Our seasonal menus, overflowing with peak-of-the-season British produce, are crafted to tantalise taste buds and pair perfectly with our top-notch selection of warming wines, craft beers, and winter-perfect cocktails (the kind that make you linger a little longer, just because you can).

Ben and the team look forward to welcoming you.

Seasonal menus

Rich, warming plates and hearty, flavour-packed bites bursting with winter goodness – this season’s freshest British produce are the true unsung heroes of our dishes. Head Chef Joel (our flavour-mastermind, the one who makes your taste buds sit up and cheer) brings you soul-satisfying flavours designed to thaw chilly evenings. With a focus on smokey, slow-charred grills and long-simmered, deeply-flavoured techniques, we’re all set to take your pub dining to a whole new, cosy-and-indulgent level this winter (think roaring fires, steaming plates, and that “don’t-want-to-leave” feeling).

Christmas in Kingston

You’re officially invited to the most glitter-glam, holly-jolly Christmas bash on the banks of the Thames (yes, we’re talking cosy-crackle-fire vibes, mistletoe-hung corners, and all the festive feels). Picture yourself wrapped in a snug-as-a-bug blanket, clutching a steaming, cinnamon-spiced mulled wine (hands-toasty, heart-happy), while the river twinkles with proper winter-night magic – basically, your ultimate festive backdrop for selfies, and a little cheeky cheer.

Whether you’re after a bubbly-packed, prosecco-popping office blowout, a roast-piled, candlelit family feast, or a midweek festive catch-up with friends (all the clinking, sipping, and merry-making you can handle), we’ve got it covered. With belly-warming dishes, sip-worthy cocktails, and crackling-fireplace-glow vibes, your Christmas party dreams are basically sorted. Just a short, jolly-stroll from Kingston Station, we’re your festive HQ for all things sparkle, cheer, and proper Christmas magic.

Kingston's best cocktails

It’s a bold, but totally true claim (we promise!), and one we wear with cocktail-shaking pride. While we have our trusty, well-loved resident cocktail menu (Espresso Martinis are always a good idea), when you walk in, you’ll also discover exciting, one-of-a-kind weekly specials tucked into our drinks booklets (because we’re the bonafide masters of mixology, always ready to whip something up on a whim). Using some of the finest, handpicked spirits from local distillers, we make sure every cocktail delivers that mouth-wateringly smooth quality you can actually taste, so you’ll have to keep coming back week after week to see what we’re mixing up next.

What's on in Kingston

Oh, we’ve got plenty (and we mean plenty) happening this winter. From our festive soirees to our feel-good, community gatherings (yes, even the mulled-wine-fuelled litter picks count), there’s always something exciting around the corner. But honestly, nothing beats seeing your rosy-cheeked faces in our cosy, riverside pub (trust us, you won’t want to miss the seasonal specials, steaming drinks, and the crackling-fire kind of good vibes).

I love it here, the food is 10/10 and the staff are extremely kind and attentive. I come here with my family regularly 💘

Shauna- June 2024

Myself my husband and son came for lunch on a Saturday and were absolutely blown away. The waitress was very pleasant (young, glasses, red hair? So sorry we didn't get your name) we both went for the Picaha steak as it seemed good value for £19 and oh my goodness it was beautiful! Excellent sear and seasoning , perfectly cooked medium and medium rare, the peppercorn sauce the waitress recommended was sublime <3 checked on twice by staff, good beer on tap- even our sons tomato salad was lovely and fresh. The 'with compliments' chocolates with the bill were a nostalgic pleasure- no-one does that anymore! Thank you so much, we went expecting a rather run of the mill lunch and came away delighted!

ECWJP-June 2024

I booked for 20 people for a birthday party. The staff were very friendly, super helpful to help organise the event and on the day, they were really nice and accommodating, especially Bianca who went out if her way to ensure we all had a great night!!

Clémence-June 2024

I came with a few friends over the weekend, it was very busy but the waiter was great! I had delicious burger so did a couple of my other friends and my partner had a massive fish and chips which looked amazing! Great views of the bridge too!
