I booked the Bishop back in April for a special celebration and had a smashing time. We were upstairs with ample space for dancing and seating comfortably. Our own bar and WC area. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I ordered the sharing platters and they were amazing. Everybody had a fantastic time and the views from their balcony of the river and Kingston bridge at night were an added bonus. Thank you guys!
Probably about a 3.5 to be fair. The drinks are expensive and the pub a tiny bit soulless even after the refurb.
I did enjoy the balcony though, which was nice in the sun making my review a bit more generous. An Estrella in the sun was great, but my consumption is limited at £6.70 a pint. Inside seemed a bit dreary too, so won’t hurry here off season.
A wonderful pub along the river with a premium menu. Plenty of delicious vegan options including a Cauli steak. This was my second time trying one & it was definitely worth the money. With a wonderful view & friendly staff, it’s definitely one of Kingstons top pubs.

I had wedding reception here and it was the best I could have wished for. We hired the top floor with a view of the Kingston Bridge and Thames which was very exciting for all my visiting friends and family. Everyone loved the food and I was able to set up and decorate the space as I wanted. In the months following the preparations the whole team were easy to deal with, super good to accommodate and took a large pressure off my plate so that I could thoroughly enjoy my wedding. Thank you to the management team, Ben, Matthew, Carl and Nate and to the other Ben who hosted us by serving all guests at the bar throughout the whole reception. BEST PUB AND RESTAURANT IN TOWN! 🎶❤🧡🕺💃
April 2023. Lovely refurbished space was amazing. Food is awesome. Thank you to the whole team!
We had a fantastic time at The Bishop, we chose the “All in” option from the wide variety on the menu - it was huge & delicious! Cooked really well and the service was fantastic too. They’ve just had a refurb so the place looks amazing, will definitely be returning!
My husband and I come in today for lunch and could have stayed all day. The service from the staff was unmatched. Sophie the charming young lady at the bar was wonderful. Emily the another amazing server took our order from the table. Was incredibly informative about the menu, made my husband Alan and I feel right at home. Then our food was brought over by B, the attention to the table was perfect and the they made sure we had everything we needed. I had the beef pie and Alan had the bishop burger. Both were amazing, a beef bonanza. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to you all at the bishop for making our weekend.
Had a lovely Sunday evening here with my partner as we both enjoyed an excellent roast dinner served by Bianca. She is an absolute credit to the Bishop, asking us how we were, before she took our order, as well as suggesting an excellent additional side and providing extra gravy without being asked. It was our first time eating here and it won't be the last, both due to the food and staff.
Very nice pub on the Kingston riverfront. Service was quick and friendly, definitely worth a pop in if you’re in Kingston and particularly if along the river. There was live music outside (not part of the bishops offering) but it was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere of the evening
First time visiting, and although it was very busy, we were seated quickly. Staff were very attentive, and food arrived quickly and was delicious. Great choice on the menu, including children's. When we're back in the area again, we will definitely visit again!
Went for brunch with my Mum at this amazing pub by the river. It's one if the best brunches I've had in a long time. Service was fabulous from Jamie and Max, and the food is fantastic. Really freshly cooked. I ordered the full English and my Mum ordered a bacon and egg bap. We also had tea and a cappuccino. Loved it!
Excellent evening celebrating our wedding anniversary! Ben J was charming and helpful from the moment we sat down. He was very attentive throughout the evening! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We had the grilled prawns, the brisket and pork chop which I all highly recommend.
The pub was recently refurbished and is very tastefully decorated. Thank you very much Bishop Team!
Great gastro pub food and excellent service from attentive, non pushy staff.
Good menu selection includes veg/vegan.
Booked for a Saturday late lunch for our 1 year anniversary and enjoyed decent steaks (1 rare, 1 med) with blue cheese sauce (on the side), fries and mushrooms.
Very relaxed, despite it being quite busy we didn't feel rushed so enjoyed our drinks and took our time ordering dessert - one apple crumble (pictured) and a very sticky (good thing!) treacle tart with a (slightly small but proper) blob of whipped cream.
Lovely early Christmas atmosphere.
A delightfully located pub sitting right on the River Thames with a good outdoor seating area that when the sun is out is very sought after, the space inside is good with plenty of seating and standing room, it has an good menu, with a good variety of offering. The bears and ales are good and you will find something here no probs, along with the array of cocktails if that's what you want. The food is well cooked and arrived promptly and the staff are friendly courteous it is a great place to come whether for a meal with friends or to shoot the breeze with a beer as the sun dips below the horizon.
Great afternoon in the sun at The Bishop. Ordered the 'All In' between 3 and topped it up with a couple extra sides.
Definitely recommend the puddings, both the chocolate pot and the Baked Alaska were delicious.
Great atmosphere and the staff were all really friendly, offering recommendations and wandering around to take extra drink orders.
Beautiful pub, the upstairs is really special with gorgeous views and definitely an amazing space for a party or event. It has its own bar and balcony too! The team are all very friendly and welcoming and the food is really good. There’s a lot more I want to try on the menu so will definitely be back very soon! :)
A wonderful afternoon spent at The Bishop on Sunday. Excellent communication from Ben who managed our booking and fantastic service from all the staff. Everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Thank you so much!
popped in today for what I thought would be a quick drink which quickly turned into Sunday dinner, which I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a drink some excellent food and great service, the pork belly and short rib were perfect especially with the added pigs in blankets and extra Yorkshire puddings! The staff couldn’t of been any more helpful with menu knowledge and recommendations. Checking back and being attentive was very much appreciated! will definitely be returning again to try more of what they have to offer! Thank you for an amazing lunch!
