Ms Parker

Ms Parker is a breakfast, brunch and dinner restaurant on the ground floor of The Motley Hotel on Bridge Road, Richmond. Its daytime menu is broad enough for a leisurely morning meal or a more substantial brunch, with options ranging from eggs on sourdough and French toast to the generous ‘Le Grand Breakfast’. The menu also includes a crab omelette, chilli-spiced scrambled eggs, eggs Benedict, mushroom truffle toast and a house-made crumpet with smoked salmon. Coffee, tea, matcha, juices and other non-alcoholic drinks round out the morning offering.

The venue’s identity is closely tied to the building’s past. Ms Parker takes its name from the site’s original owner, described as a costumier, and the restaurant’s design story draws on the rich fabrics and intricate needlework once found throughout the building. That history gives the space a characterful, textile-inspired feel rather than presenting it as a purely functional café. The restaurant also sits alongside Threads Bar, with the venue promoting event bookings at both Ms Parker and Threads.

Dinner brings a more expansive menu, covering shareable starters, salads, pasta, meat, seafood and sides. A charcuterie plate with cured meats, goat chèvre, pickled walnuts, smoked almonds, quince paste, lavosh and dried fruit is suited to sharing, while the baked Camembert and fried chicken basket offer relaxed options to begin. Larger plates include a Wagyu cheeseburger with fries, grain-fed porterhouse, grilled swordfish with romesco sauce, wild mushroom risotto and slow-braised beef cheek with gnocchi. Truffle fries, dauphinois potatoes, witlof salad and seasonal vegetables are available as sides, with Valrhona chocolate torte and affogato among the desserts.

With brunch served across all seven days and dinner offered from Tuesday to Saturday, Ms Parker can work for an early coffee, a catch-up over food, or an evening meal with drinks. The website lists a weekday and Saturday happy hour from 4pm to 6pm, dinner from 5pm to 8.30pm Tuesday to Saturday, and event enquiries for larger occasions. Brunch is described as not requiring a reservation, while the site also provides a booking option for those planning ahead. The combination of a detailed all-day menu, historic setting and links to The Motley Hotel makes it a practical choice for Richmond locals, hotel guests and groups looking for a venue with more narrative than a standard café.
