Pembroke Lodge Volunteer and P.A Reviews

Smacks over priced (aren't they everywhere), but where else can you sit outside with a decent cup of tea and enjoy a magnificent view? Definitely worth a stop here if you are walking in Richmond Park on a nice day. And a good place to take shelter if you are walking and it's cold and wet.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, drinking coffee looking at the nature around is wonderful.

Good to see this place maintains the tradition of help yourself clotted cream & strawberry jam when going for the cream tea.

One of the best wedding venues I ever had a chance to work. Definitely my favourite over the London! Located in Richmond Park, surrounded with deers, lots of green area and positioned in the way that you will see most amazing sunset on your big day! 100% recommend!

Great place for a weekend lunch. Also at 3pm they bring out fresh scones, which are really good!

We recently celebrated our wedding reception here, in the Belvedere.
We could not has asked for a better experience, everything ran like clockwork. The staff are wonderful and the venue is magical
Many of our guests commented it was one of the best weddings they d ever been to, and on how amazing the food was.
Just sad that we can t do it all over again!

Excellent venue. Beautiful food and exceptional surroundings for wedding photos.

Absolutely amazing wedding venue. Beautiful view and very friendly staff. The weather was perfect which made it all the more special. Highly recommend, especially in the summer!

Incredible venue for a wedding, especially on a clear sunny day. My cousin got married here in June and we had a fantastic day.

Great view .. my picture not good so not loaded but love sitting with a coffee and looking at that view

Daughters wedding venue excellent location,gardens for photos, food, access to Richmond hotels good as we all had to travel for weekend chance to meet up with family before and after big day all round top marks

Nice location to marry. Food was delicious. The only drawback is the time and in the evening a taxi must be ordered early, since the park is completed.

Every afternoon they serve fresh scones with lashings and lashings of jam and clotted cream. The best value tea in
London

Excellent spot for a wedding party in a beautiful location. It has a countryside feel

This venue worked hard to provide a lovely reception for our 15 guests. The food was delicious and service very discreet.

Was an awesome location for the wedding that we were guests at.

Beautiful surroundings, lovely cream tea, value for money

Excellent wedding venue.

Such a peaceful place.

A nice cafe in Richmond park. There is both an indoor and outdoor seating area, with a self serve cafe. The cafe had cakes, soups, hot food, cold and hot drinks. The prices were as expected.
The view from the outside seating are is lovely and worth the trip on a nice clear day.

Lovely place for tea/lunch on a hill overlooking the park. Especially on clear/sunny days.

Any visit to Richmond Park should include Pembroke Lodge. The cafe offers a nice selection of teas, coffees and cakes, which can be enjoyed outside whilst taking in some great views of the Surrey countryside.
Pembroke Lodge also has beautiful planted gardens which provide a contrast to the rugged beauty of Richmond Park.
Parking is free, however it can get very busy at peak times.

Amazing scones, very busy so no seats but it was even better grabbing a seat on the low garden walls, beautiful view, surprisingly reasonably priced.

A really beautiful setting on the top of the hill with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. A lovely restaurant serving hot and cold food with generous portions given. A fabulous place to visit.

Nice cafe located at the heart or Richmond Park. Offers both indoor and outdoor tables for all seasons.

Had our wedding here a few years ago. What a fantastic venue as we had the whole top floor. Food was astonishing and service exceptional. Have come back many times to enjoy the grounds and cafe, especially the massive scones!

Visit here every 6-8 weeks for Great morning or afternoon teas - best scones anywhere!! Very busy but service is okay so que moves along - sit outside at the back for some scenic views.
Preceed your food with a walk down to the pen ponds or around the park.

Beautiful place for lunch or coffee and cakes after a walk in the park.it gets a bit crowded on weekends and bank holidays and you may have to wait a while for a table.

A great place to have a short rest with good food on offer.

The refreshments here are very delicious, the environment is quiet and condescending, and the garden design is very pleasing to the eye. It is definitely the first choice for a wedding banquet here.

Nice place for lunch or coffee but why oh why do they add milk to bread?

A beautiful place to go any day of the year, usually there are flowers here all year in Pembroke Lodge where there are two wedding suites, nice to walk around the gardens always plenty to see in nature. Parking is free, but at busy times you'll have to walk further.

Nice VIEW outback.
TEAHOUSE.

Beautiful setting. Sun sets over the horizon. Currently serving tea and cakes, but you have to sit outside. Watch out for the crows, they're militant!!!

Lovely lodge, lovely staff, lovely cafe although a bit expensive, then again, what can you expect for being the only food and drink source in Richmond Park. The cafe offers teas and coffees, cakes and sandwiches. Suitable for disabled access. The lodge also holds weddings. There s outdoor seating to the cafe where you can get a lovely view.

Beautiful panorama!!! Delicious food and cold drinks! What else would you like on a hot summer day?!

I used to really like it here but standards have dropped astronomically. I got food poisoning and through process of elimination with the doctors help we highly suspect it was from Pembroke Lodge. I worry if a place like this can't follow basic food hygiene procedures especially during a time like this (covid-19).
Not once did I see anyone cleaning tables after they were used. The staff were rude and incredibly slow and unable to process simple food orders. They looked like they didn't want to be there.

Unique views from the terrace while enjoying excellent snack from great cafe in the main house.

It's ashame they don't provide more hot food. But it's a very nice place to be..

Great place for scones, tea or coffee and a walk around

Fantastic venue witg amazing views and facilities, although the toilets could have been cleaner. This was very quickly rectified when it was pointed out to the staff.
All the staff were very polite and very efficient.
Certainly a great venue for a wedding and I would highly recommend it.

Get there on a Sunday morning before the carnage and listen to the birds while watching over London from the terrace. Before 10:30 it's nice and quiet and the croissants are still fresh. Speaking of which, the flat white and plain croissant were a very nice surprise. Delicious.

A quick visit for coffee whilst on a walk across the park. A wedding under way and very busy so we had to squeeze around a small table.

Breathtaking views and delightful grounds. Great for an afternoon tea and a little haven in Richmond Park.

Lovely place lovely view from this majestic overlook venue

Pembroke Lodge Cafe use to have the best scones for miles. Went last week and today and was hugely disappointed each time. The scones are now day old, store bought and reheated on the premises. They are tiny, dry and tasteless. The most More

Lovely place to have a scone and coffee! Witnessed a wedding while there, everyone looked very happy.

Me and my husband got married here two weeks ago and the staff went above and beyond to make our day. I cannot thank Byron enough for making our day so special, he really is an asset to the team, he's a lovely man and amazing at his job!

Location, location, overpriced food and drink. Great for weddings, but coffee and cake cost a lot.

WE R DJS was hired to provide evening entertainment for a clients wedding! Absolutely stunning building and the views from the upstairs bar was breathtaking. Laura and her team was so helpful and attentive, honestly thank you! Although having to lift equipment upstairs, room was intimate and easy to fill, got a great vibe going with clients and guests dancing the night away. Would highly recommend if your looking for a wedding venue.

Just popped in there and was shocked by the megre menu so plumped for the bog standard afrernoon tea with scones cloted cream nd jam and alas that was bog standard also will i go back ?i very much doubt it

Beautiful situation, interesting house and a good restraunt with lovely walks

Very popular. Parking can be dificult. Good food, but cafe lay out makes service slow. Stunning views from terrace.

My daughter had her wedding here in the Bertrand Russel Suite. Everything ran smoothly but my highest recommendation would be for the catering team headed by Dan. The food was delicious and the service willing, efficient and with great attention to small details. The venue worked really well for our larger gathering in the evening and we were able to use the garden area allocated to this suite fully. A brilliant day!

Really enjoyed this walk in nature and the scones and coffee was very good

Nice venue for wedding. So beautiful in the afternoon with sunset. The food and services was good as well.

Beautiful spot for a Tea & Scone (which was dee-lish)

Even though I've been to Richmond Park before I've never visited the cafe at Pembroke Lodge. It's really nice with a terrace and lovely views.

Love it here, beautiful place in even more beautiful surroundings.

Very nice and beautiful place to have a wedding! I love photographing weddings there, the staff is really helpful and the place is absolutely stunning!

This was one of our favourite places in London, and I was truly looking forward to come back here.

Well, today the place is worst than a Mc Donalds. Prices went up, scones are dry and not fresh, cream neither.

The place is very dirty and you need to clean the table yourself because food from previous customer is still there. No toilet paper and toilets were very dirty.

Member of the staff were rude and not wearing facemasks at the till even if it's mandatory by law, neither customers waiting on the cue were required to wear one.

Tea and coffee served in paper cups. We also had food poisoning.

Is a big shame because we will no recommend the place anymore. Not coming back.
