Twickenham Charcoal Grill - (Near Richmond upon Thames, london)

Dev Desai Many thanks to the team at The Crown for making the arrangements for our son’s 10th-birthday gathering of 17 guests so effortless from start to finish. The staff and management handled it with calm good humour and quiet efficiency. The private room had been beautifully prepared well in advance (see photos), spacious enough for everyone to mingle and chat comfortably rather than feel marooned at opposite ends of a long table. It struck exactly the right balance between celebratory and relaxed. The place is perfect to get people together. A small but charming touch was the way the servers arrived announcing whose dish they were carrying, which our guests found both helpful and oddly delightful. It gave the whole service a lightly personalised feel. Send a spreadsheet of diners and choices in advance to make this happen. The Crown team, led by David, were warm, attentive and accommodating throughout. Thank you for making it such a happy afternoon for our family. We’re lucky indeed to have such a fine food-led tavern so close to home.

Agnese De Masi Lovely and cosy pub with a log fire and plenty comfy seats. The staff is very welcoming and never rushes you. Good choice of food. The location is in one of the best spots of Richmond, overlooking the river Thames. Large terrace with great views and free parking for customers.

Andrew Miller I rented one of their rooms for a small function over the holiday season with the buffet option. All of the negotiating was done over email and their online reservation system. Turning up for the first time on the day of the occasion, I was happily greeted with a clean area, setup well to accommodate my party. The buffet food was good and the service, attentive. All my guests enjoyed their time there. I definitely recommend the place for this type of activity.

Rubi Cay Thank you so much MR PANDA!!! I had my daughter’s 10th Birthday party here and they went above and beyond to accommodate us. The restaurant was set up when we arrived so we didn’t have to do anything. The food and drinks were really good and some kids have never had bubble tea before and they absolutely loved it! Great place to spend time. Affordable prices.

Dominik An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff truly went above and beyond, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive. You can tell they really care about their guests and take pride in what they do. The food was simply mouth-watering. Every dish was insanely tasty, beautifully presented, and full of rich, authentic flavours. It’s the kind of meal you keep thinking about long after you’ve left. The interior is lovely and thoughtfully designed, and the ambience was honestly out of this world, relaxed, vibrant, and perfect for both a special occasion or a casual night out. Could not fault a single thing. We will absolutely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional Indian dining experience. It’s also worth mentioning that the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, with a pull-out ramp available, which was a really thoughtful and much appreciated.

Adam P Following a trip to the Stoop to see the Quins, we wanted some decent food, stumbled upon this gem. Luckily we were able to get a table as a walk in. I had an amazing folded pizza followed by a warm soft brownie. The service was decent, food came out in a good time and the flavours were amazing.
