The British Embassy in Richmond, VA offers an authentic taste of British cuisine, featuring a menu filled with traditional dishes like fish and chips, sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, and sticky toffee pudding. Started by founders Jon and Joy, whose diverse backgrounds bring a unique blend of UK and Thai influences, the establishment began as a mobile food truck before expanding to a brick-and-mortar location in Short Pump.

With the surprising success of their British menu, The British Embassy quickly gained popularity, leading to the opening of a new location in Downtown Richmond in 2024. The restaurant not only serves delicious British fare but also offers a selection of British grocery items to enhance the dining experience, showcasing the founders' commitment to providing an authentic taste of Britain.
