Eleven pubs in Richmond, Barnes and Twickenham open on Christmas Day 2026, from £75 at the Greyhound to £110 at the Marlborough. Updated November 2026.
Eleven pubs in Richmond, Kew, Barnes, Twickenham and Teddington are open for Christmas Day lunch in 2026, and this guide puts their prices, hours and booking rules in one place. Most people land on the White Cross on the riverside (£95), the Old Ship on King Street (£90), the Greyhound on Kew Green, the cheapest at £75, and the Barmy Arms opposite Eel Pie Island (£76.95). Every entry checked against the pub’s own site on 8 November 2026.
Christmas Day is a Friday this year. No trains run anywhere that day, so plan a lift, a taxi or a walk home; our Christmas and New Year travel guide has the details. Prices are per person. Seven of the pubs here belong to Young’s, which takes the full menu price in advance, wants menu choices by 1 December and adds a 12.5% discretionary service charge to every Christmas Day table, according to its Christmas booking terms. The Roebuck on Richmond Hill says it is already fully booked for Christmas Day.
