About us

Situated in the historic market town of Kingston Upon Thames, a stones throw from the famous Hampton Court Palace, the Ram is a traditional pub with a reputation for good food, fine wines and a large selection of regularly changing real ales. The pub also benefits from a large beer garden that leads on to the banks of the river Thames, an ideal spot in which to while away those sunny summer afternoons.

We’re not one to boast but we do have the best beer garden in Kingston. It catches the sun all day long and has a stunning view of the river. Seating for 145, it’s the perfect spot after a long dog walk or somewhere to relax with family or friends.

An excellent pub in Kingston, with great range of craft beers and food. Staff are always extremely friendly, and there’s always a great atmosphere, especially when live entertainment is on. In the summer it’s the perfect spot to enjoy a pint with your mates! Overall, definitely up there as one of the best in Kingston!

It's a nice old fashion pub by the river. Interesting for It's design. I fancy Guinness but this time was kinda special cos if you look closer you can see hearts on the top, impressive. The bar is a bit far to be honest.

What a fantastic pub! They have a lot of seating both inside and outside. They are dog friendly and even have treats and dog "ale" for our furry friends! The food is delicious! They have a great selection of beverages and food to choose from. The outdoor seating has a great view of the river. Smoking is allowed in the outdoor seating area. The restrooms are clean. The staff is extremely friendly and pleasant. They all had smiles on their faces. Great atmosphere. We met fellow dog people and had a great chat. Definitely will go here again!

The Ram itself was originally a brewery site in the 1500s, it was first noted as being a pub in 1708. Although this was a few doors down, and the current "Ram" site only appears from 1840 onwards after a licence transfer. There's nothing significant of note about this place historically, only that it's maintained a degree of independence from other tied houses having been owned by Frickers Brewery (1903-5) and Royal Brewery of Brentford respectively. Only 2 doors down was the more colourful Eagle Tap. It was described as poorly ventilated and unsanitary, cited for drunk and disorderly behaviour, and the landlord during WW1 would sell intoxicants to soldiers. Despite this, it would turnover 5x as much as The Ram, but it ultimately became offices in the 1950s, and now a Best-One cornershop. History lesson over (credit to Richard Holmes again), the pub itself had such a welcoming vibe. Open space with lots of booths, a small but refined select of local ales on. I opted for @twickenhamales Naked Ladies which is always a winner. Keg wise it's the usual suspects, but with a Lervig House Party beer on, and in January I think they even shove the NA one on too. Food looked very good, a step above normal, and 50p a wing Wednesday with the T&C's specifying a minimum of 6, and no maximum. Intrigued. A spacious garden down towards the river, which during the "outside only" period of lockdown(s) took over a much, much larger space. Must have some decent contacts at the council to get away with that. Felt like a nice pub overall, one I'd definitely go back to. Something kind of interesting (to me at least) sitting in old buildings. Take a lot of pubs current states for granted. Anyway, I'd love to see a wider selection of beers but what can you do if you're tied. Another one checked off the list, and if you're strolling along the river you can sack off that Sam Smith's pub and head here instead.

Simple pub, but worth visiting for the beautiful views of the river. It is not that big but plenty of room outside. I was glad to find a table outside on a Saturday late afternoon. Customer service is great as well.
