History

The Jolly Coopers is a pub at 16 High Street, Hampton TW12 2SJ in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. It is a Grade II listed building, dating back to the 18th century. The pub has long served as a traditional English local, and its historic fabric is part of its enduring appeal. The modern chapter of The Jolly Coopers is closely tied to Squiffy's Restaurant. The idea of a restaurant to complement the pub was first conceived in the mid-1990s. The name "Squiffy's" was inspired by Aunty Gwen, who, after a sherry aperitif and a nice meal with friends and family, would often say, "Oh I do feel Squiffy." The founders wanted the restaurant to feel like a happy place to be after a nice meal and a couple of drinks among friends and family. Squiffy's Restaurant was added on to The Jolly Coopers in December 1997 and opened its doors with an à la carte menu created by Chef Vinny. A new specials menu was produced daily, and customer favourites soon became permanent fixtures. In 2010, the team decided on a radical change to Squiffy's. After extensive research in Barcelona, they created an eclectic tapas menu described by a customer as "Tapas with an Asian Fusion." Beyond tapas, the restaurant offers a main course selection designed to complement the tapas and cater to more traditional diners, as well as a nibbles menu. All menus are served in the restaurant, the bar, or alfresco on the garden patio, weather permitting. Squiffy's emphasizes local sourcing, using local independent suppliers with fresh deliveries of fish, meat, vegetables, and provisions daily. The pub and restaurant have also become known for their events, including the iconic summer BBQs and gourmet nights. The Jolly Coopers continues to operate as a beloved local pub and dining destination in Hampton.
