About This Pub

Ah, The Norbiton – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local favourite, tucked away in Kingston. I have to say, the pizzas really steal the show; they're wood-fired with a thin base and delicious toppings that leave you wanting more – though it'd be nice if they threw in a few salad options to balance things out. The staff are brilliant, always cheerful and on hand to make your visit smooth, and the beer garden's a gem, extending the pub's cosy feel with ample seating and spots to hide away. It's got that shabby-chic charm with high ceilings and a family-friendly buzz, making it ideal for a casual meet-up or even something special like a wedding reception. On the downside, it does get rammed at times, so you might find the service slowing down a notch, and those pint prices can sting a bit, especially if you're coming from outside the city. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed pint or a meal, as long as you're prepared for the occasional wait and to keep an eye on the bill.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The pizzas are absolutely spot on – thin base, wood-fired, and with tasty toppings that make every bite a treat.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, always ready with a smile and quick to sort you out.
  • The beer garden is a real winner, with plenty of room, comfy seating, and that undercover area for when the weather turns.
  • It's got a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for families or even hosting events like weddings.
  • A cracking selection of beers on offer, whether you're after a classic pint or something a bit more crafty.
Cons
  • Service can drag a bit when the place is packed, which might leave you waiting longer than you'd like.
  • The tables are a tad small, especially if you're trying to squeeze in a group of four without feeling cramped.
  • Pint prices are on the steep side, which might feel a bit much if you're not used to London costs.

Great pizzas. Thin base, wood-fired , tasty toppings. Maybe add salad to the menu? Service a bit slow but the pub was very busy. Very friendly staff. Garden designed like an extension of the pub - comfortable chairs, tables (just) big enough for 4 diners but, in my view, marred by a tableful of huge cigar smokers. Maybe they’d just come back from a holiday in Cuba! But, on a still evening, very very stinky! Perhaps consider, as the outside is, in a sense, part of the pub where smoking isn’t permitted, have a ‘no huge smelly cigars’ notice?

My partner and I had our wedding reception take place here last night (June 7th), after months of planning. At every step of the way, Iain, the manager, helped us with everything, and was always ready to respond asap to any questions we had. The private area we had for our event and our guests was decorated beautifully, the food was delicious, the drinks are great, and very reasonably priced also. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and became incredibly vibrant as the evening went on. The staff worked exceptionally hard throughout the evening to ensure that everything about our special evening went off without a hitch, and we couldn’t have asked for a better time. If you are even remotely considering hosting a private event here, then please please do so, as everybody involved will go far far above and beyond what you could reasonably expect. To Iain and the entire team, thank you so so much for giving us and every one of our guests a night to remember, and cherish fondly.

It's a nice pub to go to which seems friendly and a good atmosphere. The beer garden has plenty of room, seating, booths and an undercover bit. As I'm from South Wales I'm always going to say the cost of a pint in London is expensive. I didn't have any food so not able to comment on that. There was a tidy range of craft ales on tap, as that what I like, as well as the usual pub drinks. A good place to go and dog friendly.

The Norbiton in (funnily enough) Norbiton, east of Kingston. A lovely, shabby chic, corner pub with high ceilings and a very open family feel to it. A large dining area and a huge patio garden at the back of the house. Lovely staff with a good sense of humour. They are fast, efficient and friendly. A super, different place to visit, enjoy a drink and some simple pizza oriented dining. A most enjoyable visit, highly recommended.

The Norbiton: A Gem in Norbiton The Norbiton pub is a delightful spot for a relaxed drink or a hearty meal. The beer selection is impressive, with a great range of options to suit all tastes. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or prefer a classic pint, you're sure to find something to enjoy. The pizza is another highlight. The base is perfectly crispy, and the toppings are generous and flavorful. It's the perfect accompaniment to a cold beer. The staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The pub itself has a nice ambiance, and the outdoor area is perfect for soaking up the sun on warmer days. Overall, The Norbiton is a fantastic local pub that offers something for everyone. Highly recommended! A short walk from the Norbiton overground station . Free in street parking.
