Places to eat in Richmond


While there are many places to eat in Richmond, none compare to the history and elegance awaiting at The Petersham. Our setting is truly enchanting, offering breathtaking views over the River Thames and the peaceful Petersham Meadows. Gazing out from the restaurant, large windows allow for uninterrupted views where you can enjoy the sights of gentle wildlife and the distinctive cows that graze the meadow. A rare sight that adds a pastoral charm to the surroundings and lulls you into the relaxed surroundings. Inside, the restaurant’s elegant design marries contemporary style with the hotel’s Victorian heritage, featuring grand panoramic windows that perfectly frame the scenic landscape, classic decor, and truly wonderful service.

No matter the season, and come rain or shine, the views in the restaurant are truly awe-inspiring. From the dramatic summer sunsets illuminating the Thames to the unspoilt blanket of snow that brings forth winter, dining with us comes with the promise of spectacular sights.

Just a short 10 minute stroll from Richmond town centre and only two minutes from the top of Richmond Hill, The Petersham is a tranquil retreat that feels worlds away from city life, creating a striking unification of countryside charm and city excitement.
 

Our Menu


Our menus are a celebration of modern European cuisine, crafted with a focus on fresh, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients. Under the guidance of our Head Chef, each dish highlights the best of British produce and culinary expertise, ensuring that every meal feels as thoughtfully curated as our surroundings, accented with attentive service and atmospheric music.

Our guests are invited to enjoy a variety of dining experiences, from breakfast in the morning and a classic Afternoon Tea to our Club Menu, Sunday Lunch, and A La Carte dining. Whatever time of day you visit us, you’ll find a choice of exquisite dishes, from perfectly crafted sandwiches to delicious Sunday lunch. However, where we truly shine is when serving up traditional favourites. Our signature dishes blend timeless British charm with elegant presentation. Such as our Smoked Salmon Carved from the Trolley, accompanied by capers, shallots, dill, and brown bread. This refined starter has been a guest favourite for many years and truly allows fresh ingredients to shine. For a main course, our Dover Sole with sautéed spinach, ratte potatoes, brown shrimp, lilliput capers, and beurre noisette embodies the fresh, bold flavours of the season, as well as showcasing traditional flavours beloved by all. Then for a sweet finish, our Classic Crème Brûlée with a shortbread biscuit is a house favourite, bringing warmth and nostalgia to the table that pairs beautifully with a Thames view.

With menus that evolve with the seasons, The Petersham is a Richmond restaurant that offers a superb selection of classic favourites with a touch of British heritage in every bite.
