The Heifer is lovely. We visited early Sunday evening so fairly quiet. Warm welcome and friendly service. The food was fabulous. The sweet potato burger was a great, veggie burgers can often be dry and disappointing, this was really tasty with homemade coleslaw in a brioche bun. My dad tried sea bass for the first time and bloody loved it!! at 81 he's not easy pleased so must have been good. Homemade meringues were a lovely suprise as often mass produced dry rings. Will definitely recommend and look forward to going back!!

An incredible Sunday lunch with perfectly cooked trio of meat, the beef was outstanding!
We popped in with hope of a table and they just managed to fit us in, extremely friendly people and nothing was too much to ask!
The vegetables, Yorkshire, roasties and mash were a delight and I cabt even explain how beaut the meat was cooked!
Best chocolate brownie weve ever tasted too! Congrats to the chef and team!!!

Best parmo I've ever had. Went with the family and the coconut prawns were amazing. Ordered the parmo for mains with jalapeños and it was absolutely gorgeous. The manager Adrian was friendly and service was excellent. Will definitely return so I can try other things on the menu 👍

A quick Google on our way up the A1 led us to The Heifer for Sunday lunch today. The whole meal was absolutely wonderful. We both had roast beef- cooked pink and so delicious. The horseradish mash was lush and there was plenty of veg and gravy. For puds we had pistachio and raspberry frangipani and lemon curd and rhubarb Eton mess. Oh my days, they were some of the best desserts we've had. To top it off, the service was so friendly and efficient. They were busy but the service didn't suffer as a result. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you to the staff.

What great meal with real customer service! I went for the belly pork and my dining companion had the smoked haddock. Both of our dishes were delicious. I've eaten around Richmond alot and without doubt this was easily the best experience we have had. I cannot recommend highly enough. My only issue was that the food look so delicious I didn't take photos! If you are in the area try and get yourself a table you won't be disappointed.
Edit: photos from our return X3

What a find! Cosy little gem found in a little village. Food was amazing! We had the cheese soufflé and scotch egg to start and the fillet and lamb shank for mains. It was all delicious, I could have ate 5 soufflés. Will definitely be going again and would 100% recommend.

Drove past this one night and decided to revisit a couple of nights later. Glad we did. An absolute stunner of a bar. Very well done up inside. Very attentive staff, and the food was superb. The pork belly was the best I've tasted and the pear and ginger sponge was very light with a nice kick of ginger. Thoroughly recommend.
