Getting a fairly-priced drink and decent food before England Rugby home matches at Twickenham (Allianz) Stadium has become increasingly challenging. Match days at Rugby HQ are now so popular that every pub and restaurant in the area around the ground seems to be rammed hours before KO. Starting with the Autumn Internationals this November, there’s a brand new solution to this problem.

Richmond Rugby to the rescue
To help rugby fans make the most of their visit to Twickenham, Richmond Rugby is launching pre-match lunches before all the home matches. Starting with the New Zealand game on 2 November 2024, our matchday lunches at Richmond Rugby will offer all rugby fans great food and fairly priced drinks in a great rugby atmosphere.

An ideal location for Twickenham
Richmond Rugby is located just five minutes from Richmond Station so we are an incredibly easy venue to get to. Even better, we are just three minutes walk to the shuttle buses that take you from Richmond to Twickenham Stadium (or it's a brisk 30-minute walk). And of course, if you don't have match day tickets for the game you can stay and watch the match on our big screen!
