Turn down there and the pub will soon appear on your right.

picture of Marlborough
Whereas in most refitted pubs the blackboard announces the food selections, when we stopped by, the one at the Marlborough offered a large-sized Sudoku grid for punters to puzzle over and chalk up their solution. Certainly makes a change from 'Bangers & Mash - £9.95'. The board aside, this one has all the hallmarks of a modern Mitchells & Butlers makeover (the global beers, the loungey furnishings) and also a rather sizeable beer garden. Rather a hike from Richmond centralis, but if you fancy escaping the hordes by the river then it's probably worth the climb.
