Roz Ana, Kingston

The lovely Roz Ana is a chic restaurant and bar, which offers regional specialities from India. Stand-outs include a Goan-style pork belly vinha d’alhos and Southern Indian mooplah beef curry. Don’t miss the crispy soft shell crab with toasted coconut – it is divine.

Obon Sushi & Udon, Kingston & Teddington

This tiny neighbourhood restaurant is a hidden gem serving up spankingly fresh and imaginative sushi. The prawn tempura is also rather special. There’s only a handful of tables so book in advance. It’s a fun place and you can watch the chefs in action in the open kitchen. There is now a Teddington branch, offering a grill menu, too.

The Petersham Hotel, Petersham

You can come in the daytime and gaze out at the incredible view over Petersham Meadows and down to the Thames but equally we enjoy the night-time vibe which manages to be both casual and refined. It is also an excellent spot for afternoon tea.

One One Four, Teddington

From the team behind Hideaway, Bone Idyll and Cento Uno, One One Four is their grown-up sibling. On the menu there are contemporary seasonal dishes such as partridge pate with a cured quail egg, and pork belly with quince puree. The atmosphere is relaxed and the surroundings elegant.

The Grey Horse, Kingston

This is a meat-eater’s heaven with all kinds of ribs, joints and burgers all barbecued to perfection. We would go to the ends of the earth for its beef short rib. Fortunately, we only have to go down the road. There’s cocktails and a vast range of whisky on offer too.

Peppe’s at the Cardinal, Kingston

This much-loved local is known for its incredible pizzas, which are incredibly light, crispy and delicious. There’s also a big emphasis on fresh fish dishes. It is particularly lovely on a summer’s evening, with its outdoor garden. There are fun domes, too, that can be hired.
