Sous Chef

About us:

Located just a short stroll from Richmond station and next to West London's famous Orange Tree Theatre you'll find a delight and a home from home for all rugby fans out there in The Orange Tree pub. Well known for our historic attachment to sports, The Orange Tree offers brilliant service, a friendly atmosphere and a well-stocked bar.
Boasting HD screens galore it's the perfect place to catch the match if you've missed out on tickets to Twickenham, but The Orange Tree still maintains a warm and traditional pub feel with old-fashioned cask ale pumps and dimly lit hanging lanterns.
We all know rugby players are big eaters and that rugby fans love a drink; thank god then that we serve a delightful menu to satisfy even the largest of appetites, but there is also a truly delightful lunch and evening menu too. This comprises of all the old British classics served with a modern twist and a kind smile. A great South London pub.
We also have 13 beautiful boutique bedrooms in our hotel beautifully decorated. Located in a leafy suburb of London and with easy connections to Twickenham Stadium and the city centre, The Orange Tree is an ideal choice.
