With many of Sydney’s most famous pubs carrying a pension card nowadays, there comes a time when a facelift becomes a necessity. While there are many a pub reno that is a complete overhaul that tears at the fabric of the venue’s nostalgia, many renovations remain true to the pub’s roots, congruent with the regulars that frequent the TAB area every afternoon at 2 o’clock. The Royal Richmond Hotel has recently undergone one of these particular overhauls, with the pub’s character remaining very much intact.
Masterminded by South Coast interior designer Victoria Hampshire and Axil Architects’ David Herron, the first stage of renovations are complete, with a brand new gastro pub bistro and cocktail bar open for business. Briefed by owners Peter Wynne and Karen Anderson, who previously ran Martin Place Bar in Sydney’s CBD, Hampshire and Herron have combined classic pub chic with a contemporary mindset to craft a pub that champions local town
