The Hope - Reservar uma mesa

I went to The Hope for a leavers lunch with colleagues from my office. The party was made up of thirteen people, having pre-ordered we all thought that the food would arrive pretty quickly. This is where our expectations were wrong, having waited 45 mins for our food to arrive, even though I oust add we were the only people in the pub at this point apart from the bar maid and the chef. I waited an hour and a half for My order (Bruschetta Pomodorini chips).Eventually after the first hour I went up and spoke to the chef, asking him where my food was? Did he know how long it was going to take? The chef had no replies for my questions, instead looking blank and asking what order? This was rather disappointing after my colleague offered to pay for my lunch. When my order was finally ready I had to pick it up from the kitchen in a takeaway box because the chef was serving other people. When I opened my takeaway box I was shocked and rather angry to discover that what I had ordered was not in my takeaway box. Instead of the vegetarian option I ordered I was handed four slices of bread covered in cheese and meat with my chips. Really not impressed with the food service. However I will admit the Bar maid was wonderful, really chatty and genuine when speaking with her! Overall not happy at all with the food but was pleased with the bar staff.

The Hope is a nice pub/pizzeria just 5 minutes from Richmond train/tube station. The venue developed this combination concept (pub/pizzeria) working quite well if you are opened to new experiences. There is a large outdoor back garden with a funny 50 's style Ape Piaggio , the three-wheeled small vehicle based on a vespa scooter, with an incorporated wood fired pizza oven. The place has a great relaxed vibe,is dog friendly and the staff is polite. Good range of beers and the Pizza 's menu includes few traditional pizzas and some innovative chef 's creations and you can actually watch him while making pizza in front of you. Veggie options are also available and are quite tasty. They also offer traditional pub food with the usual sport watching. Prices are average for the area. I would recommend this place, though go with an open mind as this is not a traditional british pub.

Been here many times before as a venue for lunch on Twickenham match days, great spot, good drinks selection, staff really nice, but an hour and twenty minutes for 3 pizzas? Which I had to chase 3 times, what a disappointment
