Richmond's favourite Sunday roast

On Sundays, we’re all about roasting and relishing. Join us for the best Sunday roasts in Richmond, complete with all the finest seasonal trimmings, towering double egg Yorkies, and generous lashings of rich gravy (the kind that makes you swoon). Pair your feast with our oh-so-spicy Bloody Mary's for the ultimate Sunday funday experience.

Christmas in Richmond

This Christmas, step into Richmond’s oldest, charmingly crooked pub, where the crackling open fires make it the ultimate cosy-wonky hideaway (because it’s that snug-as-a-bug time of year). Get ready to dive into our can't-pass-up feasts (filled with belly-warming, heart-happy dishes) and raise a glass of festive cheer with us.

Watch The Game

Sports lovers rejoice! With BT Sports and Sky here we take our reputation as Richmond's best pub to rival matchside atmosphere seriously. We show all of the action live seven days a week showing all the major games from the Premiership League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, Autumnal Internationals 2024, cricket, tennis and much more!

Guinness Six Nations 2025

Rugby is a spirit-lifting, pulse-pounding passion here (we wouldn’t have it any other way), which is why we deliver a stadium-vibes, fan-first atmosphere and hold the title of Richmond’s must-visit, rugby-favourite pub.

Richmond’s most loved local

Based in the heart of Richmond High Street, a stone’s throw away from the river or a lovely stroll to Richmond park, The Old Ship is a traditional British pub that is suitable for any occasion.

If you fancy a pre-theatre top notch meal or post cinema pint, the best rugby atmosphere in Richmond, Premiership games on one of our seven TV’s or even our famous Sunday Roast, anything you desire we can do! If you’re as passionate about great British beer, lovely independent spirits & hearty, traditional pub food then sailor, this is the pub for you.

This Christmas, wander into Richmond’s oldest, delightfully quirky pub, where the toasty glow of crackling fires sets the scene (because it’s that twinkling-light-filled time of year.). Prepare to indulge in our can’t-miss Christmas spreads (brimming with heartwarming, soul-satisfying delights) and toast to the season with a bubbly tipple – it’s absolutely that carol-singing, joy-bringing time of year (and yes, make sure to snag the company card).

Ian and the team can’t wait to welcome you.

Autumn Internationals 2024

The eagerly-anticipated, nail-biting Autumn Internationals are returning, kicking off at Twickenham (*Ahem, the Allianz Stadium) on Saturday 2nd November. We will be showing all of the sliding and slamming action live on the seven screens, both inside and out, at our rugby-loving pub and seats are filling up fast. Why not add one of our pre-ordered, ice-cold beer packages to your booking, ensuring crisp, cold bottles ready for your arrival – no bar wait (or tactical half-time dash) necessary.

Best of British Bites

Join us for some proper pub bites that champion British farmers and producers. Our menu features seasonal dishes crafted with farm-fresh ingredients (hand-picked at the peak of their freshness) and meats sourced from family-owned butchers (ensuring tender, top-quality cuts with a touch of tradition). Enjoy hearty, taste-bud-tantalising meals (prepared with a dash of love and a sprinkle of heritage) that celebrate the rich flavours of our lands with us.
