Bingham Hotel

Great cocktails. Superb staff. Lovely place for a drink slightly off the beaten track in Richmond.

Had lunch at the restaurant Sunday and it was really not quite all that. We went to the bar for a drink to wait for friends and spent most of it waiting for the bar staff to finish their chat before they thought to see what we’d like to order.
Through to the really beautiful dining room — all chandeliers and champagne walls — and a quick perusal of the set menu that was tempting all the way. Sommelier was very helpful with choosing good wines, not cheap but really well matched.
Half way through our fabulous starters a couple arrived with a toddler and were sat next to us. The child sreamed and yelled and banged its plate for the rest of the duration of our meal, while the parents were seemingly enjoying themselves so much they didn’t hear him. The staff made no attempt to ask the parents to quieten the child. If it was Pizza Express I could understand but not in a place that sells itself as a ‘fine dining experience’.
Mains were good, and beautifully presented. Unfortunately the waiter poured wine over the table instead of into the glass while topping them up and left a spreading puddle while he went off to find a cloth. Didn’t clear it up well.
Dessert menus were also luscious — one of our party asked for the rice pudding from the childrens menu and was promised an adult sized serving only to be told later there was none. While she chose again we asked for a wine list and ordered a dessert wine. My dessert was good, but served on a chipped plate. The banyuls arrived after we’d finished desserts without apology.
Though the food is very good the rest isn’t really. Wouldn’t hurry back.

Fantastic restaurant/​hotel! My boyfriend and I dined and stayed the night. Very friendly, helpful staff, excellent facilities. We had a few cocktails after dinner and they were an absolute knockout. The food was simply beautiful!

Fantastic boutique hotel on the Thames. Relaxed contemporary atmosphere with lovely decoration throughout. Staff were very attentive and professional at out function.
Here are some pictures and words from our ‘do’. Highly recommended.

We were married at this hotel, with lovely relaxed drinks in the back garden by the river, before a dinner upstairs. It was a eally easy experience, and the catering team were wonderful. recommended for any event

Have been there only once; good food, nice tables in summer overlooking the river, nice interior decoration but service is not perfect (we ordered a new bottle of wine after the starter and we got is after the main courses)

Super bar with great cocktails. Never too busy as it’s a two minute walk too far from the centre of Richmond for some, but definitely worth the effort. It’s just past the Poppy Factory.
I’ve also attended two private dinners here, where my company hired the rooms downstairs. Super food, very friendly, competent staff.
Summer here is great as it has a lovely, spacious terrace.

Absolutely lovely hotel/​bar/​restaurant with great view over the river, good food & cocktails to
4 courses + 2 cocktails = £56
