Just a stone’s throw from the centre of Richmond and the tranquillity of Richmond Park. A cosy, friendly and relaxed pub with a simply stunning garden, and of course a great team ready to make you feel at home.
As from May 2008 The Marlborough has been refurbished and is a new pub for the Young's group.
Since my last review, The Marlborough had slowly been going downhill…. that was until this week when it re-opened after a complete re-furbishment and is looking good! The bar area has been given a glitzy overhaul, with fancy wallpaper and comfy furniture. Things get even better as you move outside - the covered dining area has been renovated very nicely and now looks more like a nice restaurant than a pub dining-annexe. The massive been garden is looking good too, with more tables and even some table service out there now.
We went on re-opening night, had some drinks and then a meal. The young staff were very friendly, though seemed a bit nervous with first night jitters. The food was ok - gastropub fare as opposed to pub grub, though a few teething problems which hopefully they will iron out in due course.
There is no doubt we will be back regularly - this is our local after all. As I write this the sun is shining and that beer garden is beckoning!
