OUR LOCATION

You will find a parking disc in the room. This gives you free parking in Richmond Market Square and New Biggin for 2 hours, Mon-Sat, no restriction after 6pm or on Sunday. Set it to the correct time when you arrive, parking wardens do check, so don’t be tempted to overstay.

There is also 2 hours free parking at Lidl with other paid parking areas along Victoria Road. The Nuns Close car park, opposite thecricket ground, is long stay.

Market days in Richmond are Wednesday and Saturday: small market with green grocer, fishmonger etc. Saturdays between Easter and October, often are larger markets with non-food and gift stalls.

There are monthly craft markets in the Town Hall and a daily non-food market in the Victorian Covered Market.

A two minute walk across the village green, is the Bay Horse, a pub known for it’s amazing food (booking essential) but you can also just pop in for a drink; 01325 494437.

The Fox Hall Inn is a small hotel, under new management, with a bar and restaurant, a three minute drive away; 01325 718303.

For good pub grub, The Shoulder of Mutton at Kirby Hill, is approx. 1.5 miles away; 01748 905011. It’s definitely walkable along the roadside and downhill on the way back! There is a footpath across the hill but it is a bit tricky in the dark and we don’t recommend it.

For coffee, cakes, breakfasts and lunches, Stoneygate Farm is less than 10 minutes walk away. They do the best bacon we’ve had in a longtime and you can buy their produce and some essentials, in the farm shop. They also do a Steak Night on Saturdays and a Sunday lunch menu.

Richmond has lots of great eateries and amazing coffee shops; The Drummer boy, Granny’s Kitchen and Sip are our usuals.
