Wonderful place! Food was excellent! I was afraid I couldn’t eat if I didn’t want bread - but I was totally wrong! They had a whole gluten free menu - which was actually just the food items that are gluten free from the main menu. And there were plenty! Also, had an earl grey tea and it was unusually delicious. I loved that it came in a big tea pot :) My husband and I both had something from the Alpine menu which was delicious! Like WOW yummy.

Great place, DOG FRIENDLY and lovely food. Offered loads of Gluten Free options too. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was a real feel good eat! I'd return to this place time and time again when visiting and if I see any of their sister establishments on my travels I'll be stopping off there too!

Lovely independent cafe, home made quiches/pies and stuffed vegetables. Menu with gluten free/vegan options. Generous portions for lunch before visiting Kew Gardens

Excellent food and friendly welcoming service. I thought over £45 for 2 luxury bacon sandwiches and a pot of tea was rather expensive, and the avocado in one sandwich was missed. They were very helpful about gluten intolerance options.

From my first visit to the No 1a Duke Street, though I have yet to savor the menu fully, I am compelled to commend the exceptional service and welcoming ambiance. The staff, led by the delightful Olta, extend a warm, genuine welcome that sets a high standard for customer service. Olta graciously showed me several comfortable seating areas within the restaurant, each offering a unique and cozy atmosphere, perfect for settling down with a laptop. The presence of a fireplace adds a touch of homely charm that enhances the overall experience on this spring day. What’s particularly impressive about No 1a Duke Street is their attention to inclusivity and variety in their menu options. For those with specific dietary preferences or requirements, they offer an array of vegetarian and plant-based dishes, and they cater to gluten-free needs with alternatives like gluten-free buns and sourdough bread. The Burger + Pint special on Tuesdays sounds like a tempting offer, providing a house burger with fries and a choice of a pint, glass of house wine, or soft drink at a value that's hard to overlook at £17.5. For those who are gluten-sensitive or intolerant or Celiac: the burger meat contains wheat as a binder! The staff's proactive approach in ensuring that every guest feels noticed and valued—even though they were unaware that I had already been assisted by Olta—speaks volumes about their dedication to customer satisfaction. While my full dining experience at No 1a Duke Street awaits a future visit, the initial impressions suggest that this restaurant is not just about food, but about creating a memorable experience for all who step through their doors. If the quality of the food matches the quality of service and the charm of the setting, I’ll become a regular when I’m in the Richmond area. Update: I’ve returned numerous times since writing my initial review, and updated the ‘stars’ to reflect the food - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
