Richmond Vault Beer Cellar & Restaurant

Nestling beneath two Georgian buildings in Richmond Upon Thames, this fabulous basement venue is just the place to escape from the buzz of the city above and immerse yourself in classic British hospitality.

Unwind in one of the cosy velvet armchairs by the fire and start exploring the enormous selection of kegs, weekly-changing cask ales and bottled beers on offer. The staff are clearly beer fans themselves and have an encyclopaedic knowledge, which they are only too happy to share. From Pilsners to Porters, they’ve got you covered.

The food is a cut above the peanuts and pork scratchings offered at your average pub. Think ribs marinated in a cider sauce and slow cooked until flaking off the bone, spicy chorizo mussels with chips and stone baked goat’s cheese pizza. Don’t miss the home-made tiramisu, a fluffy dream of a dessert with an intense coffee flavour.
