This pub is placed right on the top of richmond hill amongst all the big and beautiful houses.its a nice pub with a good selection of beers and perfect on a summers evening, as just across the road are benches that look down onto the river surrounded by all the greenery.i highly suggest a drive/walk around richmond park and then a nice lunch in the roebuck followed by a drinking watching the boats make their way up the river-perfection!

I've had a few boozy afternoons and nights in here. Nice, friendly staff and a decent range of beers on tap. Word of warning - avoid the "skull splitter". I've seen grown men puke shards of pelvis outside the pub as a result of this 8.2% brew.

The view from the Roebuck is amazing. Definitely worth a trip up the hill to this place any time of year.

I got married in Richmond park and the night before (and a bit of the day actually) was spent in the Roebuck as it's right next to the park. It's a great pub with one of the best beer garden views I've ever seen from the top of Richmond Hill.

The food's not great but it will do to soak up some cider on a hot summer's day.

The Roebuck is a nice little pub in a great spot on the crest of Richmond Hill. It certainly has some of the best views of any pub in a semi-urban setting in the UK - why else would Mick Jagger choose to live nextdoor?! In the summertime you can take you drink (in a real glass!) and go and sit on the benches across the road and watch the boats float up The Thames. You can even stroll a little further afield into the meadow and lie down with a pint. Lovely.

On the inside, it's quite nice, but there are a few flaws. The food isn't great, and is overpriced. There are several annoying extraction fans in some of the nicest window seats - they shouldn't really need these with the smoking ban you'd think?

On the plus side, there is always an excellent selection of real ale with around 4 guests on tap, and the New Year's Eve party is not to be missed... much debauchery with the locals and the finger buffet!

Well worth a visit if you're in the area and a welcome change for the dreadful Marlborough around the corner.
