We are very happy to announce (and we know you will be too!) that we have expanded out wheat free range. You can now enjoy a delicious “Free-From” gluten-free Cheese and Onion Quiche. And…if you’re especially hungry after your cycle up the Thames towpath to reach us… you can finish your lunch with a luscious Lemon Drizzle Cake (also wheat-free).

By popular demand we have now taken our legendary Cauliflower Tart up to the Hollyhock Café in the Terrace Gardens.

If you have any other foods that you would like to see offered in either of our locations, you can now leave feedback using the page link above.

We welcome your opinion…! You can now share your comments with the community through the “Feedback” link above. These are posted on the “News” page.

Thanks to some unseasonably warm weather and beautiful, bright-blue skies, Tide Tables café is happy to announce that this past February 25th and 26th was the busiest February weekend in our history! Were you one of the customers we were happy to serve on this special weekend? Drop us a comment below telling us about your experience or share a photo you’d be happy to post on our gallery page by email to hey@tidetable.com. Let’s hope the warm weather continues so we can all enjoy a lovely lunch by the River Thames in Richmond. See you again soon.

Not one for doing restaurant reviews on here normally, but I was so chuffed with finding this place that I had to give them a bit of a write up. It’s the Tide Tables Cafe in Richmond. We went in there just for a cuppa after walking along the river, but when I spotted the “vegan menu” board up on the wall we had to have something! Read more…

This was the first year that Tide Tables cafe has been a part of Richmond’s annual On The Edge world music festival. Despite the inclement weather, musicians serenaded customers at the cafe, much to the delight of diners and passers-by. We had duo ‘One Man Down’ who attracted a lot of attention with their renditions of greek and russian folk tunes on the mandolin and guitar and Anna Larkin who sang some wonderful Irish ballads, plus Catherine Whyte on the Japanese bamboo flute, Guy Padfield on the autoharp and songstress Liz Arcane.

This relaxed vegetarian cafe hidden under Richmond Bridge is a quiet, cosy spot ideal for all occasions. The food, as well as the atmosphere, is healthy and enjoyable.

Sir Paul told the Today programme that the idea for Meat Free Monday came came about “with the UN saying that livestock is a bigger demon to global warning than the whole of the transport industry put together. This wasn’t coming from a vegetarian society but the UN”.
“So I wrote to Gordon Brown, the heads of countries and asked them what they thought of the idea. Since then it has caught on…. It’s not a veggie idea, it’s a planet idea.”

We are now supporting Meat Free Mondays and to give you an incentive to go meat-free we are slicing 10% OFF YOUR BILL on Mondays.

Meat Free Monday is an environmental campaign to raise awareness of the climate-changing impact of meat production and consumption.
