Tap Tavern

You'll find yourself on Princes Street in Richmond, where the Tap Tavern sits as the sort of place that's been pulling pints for years without needing to reinvent itself. The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming—you're as likely to see regulars nursing their usual as you are groups catching up over lunch. The bar itself is the real draw; they take their beer seriously here, rotating cask ales that actually taste like something, paired with a straightforward menu that sticks to what works: proper pub food that hits the spot without pretension. It's the kind of local that makes you understand why people stay in Twickenham rather than constantly heading into town.
