About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

Nestled along the tranquil banks of the River Thames in the charming Richmond neighborhood, our iconic boathouse restaurant and waterside terrace offer the perfect setting for dining by the water. In the summer, the terrace comes alive with one of our signature barbecues. A standout feature of the terrace is one of London’s oldest Plane trees, providing a stunning focal point for what is arguably one of the city’s most desirable alfresco dining spots.

Really poor quality of food. Dry, uninteresting, poor presentation and flavourless. The worst food I have had in a while. It’s a shame as the venue location is beautiful on the river and the staff tried their best although it did get a bit hectic as it to busier with customers getting frustrated about not being served. I did wonder how I managed to get a table on the day in the sunny weather to sit outside in Richmond’s most beautiful spot on the river. Now I know. The food is poor. Shame

Brilliant lunch today, we went for my husband’s birthday with our two girls. We all had the 3 course set menu for £19.95 each, which was brilliant value and delicious. Staff were all so friendly and even the dog received a bowl of steak trimmings! We all loved it and will definitely return. Many thanks!

Best Steak place in Richmond. Lovely view outside and fantastic service. We even got a table for 4 people even though there was just 2 of us. Music and atmosphere was great and only let down by a screaming baby which can happen anywhere. The firecracker sauce is special and not something you get in any Steak house. Love this restaurant and will keep going back time and time again.

The service was outstanding as always- but the meat wasn’t as good as usual. We often have a sunday roast at Gaucho, but today the meat felt tasted it was not as good quality. We won’t be put off though and will return soon! But again- the service and all the staff were wonderful!!!!
