Visit exceeded our expectations. A friendly reception and the hotel was very well furnished and tastefully decorated. A small menu but the food we choose was cooked perfectly and quite delicious. The service was just right and we will certainly be coming again.

Friendly pub with good menu. The pies are super - wholesome pies with great crust and fillings. Not huge portions but the better for it. Quality.

We sat in the snug as we had the dog with us. Nice and quiet but we left after a loud group of cackling women arrived. This was our family time. Fortunately we had eaten our food. The food was overpriced. 3 sausages, a bit of mash, frozen peas like bullets, bisto gravy and two of the smallest onion rings I have ever seen, £12.50. Rip off. Not all the food arrived together luckily the others started before their food got cold. The chicken nuggets were over cooked and verging on burnt. Chips were lukewarm at best and the beans voided on juice. On a positive note the staff were very pleasant. Meet and greet was good and we were quickly shown to our table. A reasonable experience at best. Would we be back. No.
The Black Lion Hotel RichmondResponded on February 12, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you found our staff pleasant and appreciated the quick seating. However, we're sorry to learn that the food did not meet your expectations and that your family time was disrupted. Your comments about the quality and pricing of the food are noted, and we will review them with our kitchen team. We hope you might reconsider and give us another chance in the future. Best regards, The Black Lion Hotel Team

Lovely pub in the centre of Richmond. Despite the ongoing work to the kitchen following a fire, the staff managed to provide good quality food using the catering van. The room was lovely, a little cold on arrival (no surprise given time of year) I reported this and the issue was very promptly solved. Have stayed here before and will definitely stay again
