Just back from an idyllic lunch at Petersham Nurseries Restaurant (not to be confused with the café). The restaurant is open for lunch, six days a week, and is housed in a pretty nursery greenhouse. Your rickety chair wobbles on the dirt floor as you eat some very pricy food, surrounded by pot plants and creepers. But the food was very good, and the gorgeous setting seemed to numb the pain of the bill a little.

We timed our visit to coincide with a 'chef swap' that was taking place - Petersham's regular head chef, Skye Gyngell, had traded places with top Sydney chef Sean Moran for a month.

The menu was small, with only 5 choices per course. We started with the Beetroot Ravioli with Ticklemore Aged Goats Cheese. I really loved this dish - not only did it look fabulous but the flavours worked really really well. Main course was the Milk Fed Veal Chop barbequed with peperonata, sage, runner beans and anchovy butter; and the Hampshire Pork, roasted with fennel, greengages & butternut squash. Both meals were generous in size and flavours. Really happy with our choices.

Unfortunately there was nothing on the dessert menu we fancied, so we paid up, and wandered back across Petersham Meadows, dodging cowpats along the way, and stopped off at our favourite chocolate shop for a sweet treat.]]> Sat, 13 Sep 2008 19:23:22 +0000 /review/uk/richmond-upon-thames/restaurant/1g56486/petersham-nurseries-restaurant/1x9ll71550825677 sue 51.447026614823 -0.30598640441895 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/richmond-upon-thames/restaurant/1g56486/petersham-nurseries-restaurant/1z18a8

In the lovely setting of a Garden Centre Sky Gyngell produces outstanding food with influences from Italy , Spain , France the Middle East and Asia - the sort of food often found in the better restaurants of Sydney and Melbourne.

Ingredients are often grown on site or sourced from the best producers/suppliers.

The restaurant is only open for lunch and if the weather is good its certainly worth the trek to Richmond for a long lazy lunch in the greenhouses or gardens.

The wine list is rather limited and does not do the food justice.]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 13:23:15 +0000 /review/uk/richmond-upon-thames/restaurant/1g56486/petersham-nurseries-restaurant/1z18a81778855296 gastro1 51.447026614823 -0.30598640441895
