This suburban pub is on the main road from Richmond to Kingston. From the inside, it looks like it hasn't changed in years. There is small dining area and a separate billiard-style room for the pool table. Outside there is some patio seating and a car park (with pot holes!) to the rear. Open Mic evening every Tuesday and live music most Fridays and every Saturday. The pub has a big screen, showing all live sporting events now with 3dTV. History - In 1940 the old timber constructed Fox and Duck public house, which probably dated from about 1700 was demolished. Originally it was called the 'Horse and Groom' and served as a posting house on the London to Guildford stagecoach route. The public house was rebuilt further back from the road, in a mock Georgian style. An interesting piece of local history is The Petersham lockup, a white-boarded, slate roofed building beside the arch which now leads into the new Forge Lane houses. It gives a glimpse of village life in the late 18th century. Situated in the carpark of the Fox and Duck public house, the lockup was erected in 1787. The Lock-up is Grade 2 listed and in 2004 thanks to the representations made by the Environment Trust for Richmond, the lock-up appeared on the English Heritage list of important buildings at risk (the BAR register). Coffee & pastries: Monday to Friday from 8am. Sat & Sunday from 9am.
