Harden's says
Richard Caring acquired this site (previously a Revolution Bar) under Caprice Holdings, to introduce a Scott's-meets-Sexy-Fish hybrid to Richmond; opened in Autumn 2022.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Not content with pimping ‘The Ivy’, Richard Caring is now setting about knocking off copies of the famous Mayfair seafood veteran, starting with this two-floor opening on the Richmond riverside. Finally, after months of wrangling, the planning objections of the original architect for the site have been overcome and it debuts in Autumn 2022. Open seven days a week, we are promised ‘the finest fish and shellfish alongside a variety of meat and seasonal game, in an atmosphere exuding urbane sophistication’. The lower floor will have a crustacea and Champagne bar and the upstairs bar will host DJs every Thursday to Saturday. Hmmm... the latter doesn’t sound at all like Scott’s Mayfair – couldn’t he have called it ‘The Ivy Seafood’, rather than knackering a second great name? Top Tip – a 32-cover terrace promises splendid al fresco dining.
Summary
Post-pandemic, Richmond is the new mecca for restaurant openings and Richard Caring, never a man to miss a trend, has secured a site that was previously a branch of vodka bar brand Revolution for his expansion within the Caprice Group of Mayfair’s famous fish veteran, Scott’s. Apparently the new opening will borrow from the ethos of Sexy Fish. Sounds overpriced and good looking… so should go down a storm in Richmond!
For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
