Orange Tree (Hotel)
Refined pub with big-screen sports and free breakfast
About this hotel
The Orange Tree Hotel offers a classic match-day experience with the comfort of a modern stay. As a refined pub, it's a natural gathering spot before and after games, with big-screen sports available both indoors and in the outdoor areas. You can grab a gastropub meal and soak in the atmosphere without having to venture far. The hotel provides free breakfast, ensuring you're fueled up for an early kickoff or a day exploring Richmond, which is just a two-minute walk away. After the final whistle, the bar remains a lively spot, and with stylish, air-conditioned rooms, you'll have a comfortable retreat. The kid-friendly policy makes it a good option for families attending matches or concerts.

Our take
I would pick the Orange Tree for rugby fans who want the build-up on a big screen and a proper room to go back to. The gastropub kitchen handles dinner, breakfast is included, and Richmond is close enough to walk. Twickenham Stadium is a short train ride from Richmond rather than a stroll, so allow extra time on match day when the trains fill up.
- Book a table for food well in advance on match days, as the gastropub gets very busy.
- Arrive early to secure a good spot for watching the big-screen sports, especially for major fixtures.
- Take advantage of the free breakfast to start your match day right, even if it's an early kickoff.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe Orange Tree is a refined pub with stylish rooms, gastropub meals and big-screen sports both indoors and outside. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are included, rooms have air conditioning, and the setting is smoke-free and suitable for children. Richmond is a short walk away, and trains run from Richmond station to Twickenham. Guests score it 8.6 over 1,400 reviews, and I would book it to watch other fixtures before a rugby weekend.
