British classics are what we do best – think meat-packed, flavour-filled pies to juicy, mouthwatering burgers (and so much more). Our kitchen team (a talented, ingredient-loving bunch) use only the freshest, top-quality British ingredients to craft our ever-evolving, seasonally-inspired menus.
Welcome to the best riverside pub in Richmond
Serving Young’s fine ales since 1869 and rebuilt in 1780, The White Cross is not just a pub, but a richly-rooted, heart-of-the-community landmark (and a local treasure, if we may say so). Nestled on the banks of the Thames, we have stood the test of time (and water!), offering the best spot to soak in those famous, golden-hued riverside sunsets.
No visit to Richmond is complete without a stop at our place aka ‘the pub that floods’ – where the Thames has been lapping at our door since 1780. And if the river decides to flood, just remember, wellies were only invented in 1790, so we’ve been dealing with high water long before wellies were even a thing.
This January, the Six Nations brings thrill-filled, heart-thumping action back to our screens, ready to outdo last year’s excitement. Supporting your team is adrenaline-boosting, thirst-making business (we get it), so our bar is stocked with ice-cold, expertly-poured craft lagers, authentic, timeless real ales, and a variety of cocktail-perfect, post-match tipples.
Simon and the team cannot wait to welcome you.
