The Prince's Head, Richmond

Iconic Locale with Best Fish & Chips!

Nestled in the idyllic scenery of Richmond, The Prince's Head offers a unique blend of traditional British hospitality and cinematic charm. Known as Ted Lasso's haunt from the beloved television series, this pub pares down the hype to offer genuinely inviting warmth and excellent service. True, fans and tourists may flurry through, eager for a dose of Lasso memorabilia, but beyond the show’s lore is a spirited, busy bar that has become a cozy nook filled with laughter, chatter, and clinking pint glasses. The staff at the bar display authenticity and vibrancy; they handle the engrossing tide of patrons with a smiling efficiency that transforms any wait into a pleasant pause. Underneath the nostalgia hung enticingly upon its walls lies a directory of distinct ales and crisp IPAs, from London Pride to Guinness, endeavoring to sate even the most particular of palates.

Dining at The Prince's Head unfurls a drama of its own, effortlessly contrasting with higher expectations drawn by its association with The Ted Lasso Show. A menu reminiscent of classic British dining beckons with delights like the wonderfully prepared fish and chips and steak and ale pie. Still, criticisms surface, particularly surrounding dish temperatures and taste consistency. Yet, it's hard not to lose oneself amidst the bonhomie and entrepreneurism of the staff, who zealously tend to both meal misses and magic moments alike. Indeed, one bite into their succulent English Pea Ravioli or savory chicken tandoori leaves more fond impressions than unmet expectations. As if echoing Ted Lasso's ability to make the mundane remarkable, this charming establishment mirrors astutely—both as a film set façade and cherished community landmark bound by camaraderie and smiles aplenty. — Jasper Griddle
