How hip is my garden centre? (The Observer)
Petersham Nurseries Cafe reviews
A place wich you have to love! Friendly staff - I think if you are friendly it always comes back to you. I want to go back there in summer.
by piratin, 12 Oct 2007Took my wife there for lunch. Most of the menu was not on offer. Took 15 minutes to get a drink and then order. The service is extremely poor for a restaurant charging what they charge. The food is OK, if a bit boring. I ordered poussin. When it came, it was only 1/2 a poussin! The poor service continued throughout. A place to avoid.
by chris1975, 05 Sep 2007Absolutely fantastic! Food was brilliant - went for a wedding lunch and they couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Even saw Richard E Grant dining there too, which was a pleasure!
by Sinead84, 24 Jul 2007A secret garden! Unique and totally unexpected. A great little place for tea or coffee.
by Anonymous, 30 Jul 2006Despite the poor review below we hoped Petersham had learnt from their mistakes and we went for afternoon tea. Apparently not. We arrived 45 minutes before closing to be told there was no hot water left! Very disappointing.
by bam (8 reviews), 19 Mar 2006Turned up an hour before advertised closing time - they refused to serve us as they had run out of food! How shambolic.
by Anonymous, 09 May 2005I wouldn't usually go out of my way for lunch at a garden centre, but this place is out of this world. Completely feels like you've escaped from Richmond although you're only a stone's throw from the Thames.
The food is superb and the whole place is almost overwhelmingly charming. (Almost) enough to make me want to move to Richmond.
Have we missed a great cafe in London? Let us know.
