Petersham Nurseries Teahouse | Richmond - (Near , london)

1 /5 Caïna Verrin: Sadly going to have to echo the more recent 1 star reviews. Our order was taken and then 30 minuets later we realised no tea, drinks or food had arrived and we questioned it to find out our waiter went on a break and didn’t bother putting it through…food was tasty but it’s small plates disgusted as big plates and big plate cost ( very deceiving ). Lots of people around us were annoyed and some quite rudely toward wait staff and discounts were given. It’s an attractive place to eat when the sun is shining, but the staff are really not up to par at the moment which is clearly echoed by other recent reviews. Go on a very bright sunny day and expect very small portions for a high cost and scones dryer than baked sand. Definitely question the ‘discretionary ‘ service charge.

5 /5 ashley blake: A fabulous, informal restaurant at the heart of this famous nursery. There’s also two shops and plants galore. The nursery also has its famous restaurant and an afternoon tea room! All under their greenhouses and decorated very stylishly.

5 /5 Aynur Onemli: You can visit here to buy indoor plants,large selection of tree and shrubs and container plants, plant pots, beautiful homeware pieces . The cafe is decorated with amazing seasonal flower and table scape as well as cosy fireplace in winter! There is a good waiting time most of the time as it gets very busy lunch time! Large groups should book. The restaurant might need pre book as well and menu changes often. High tea area is beautiful and needs prebooking too!

5 /5 VP: The Teahouse at Petersham Nurseries is a truly amazing experience, offering a perfect escape on either a lovely sunny day or a cozy rainy one. Located in the heart of Richmond, its one of the best places to come with family, friends, pets, or even for a quiet moment on your own. Set within the main Petersham Nurseries location, the atmosphere is exactly what youd hope for: natural, organic, and effortlessly beautiful. We visited on an autumn day and found it incredibly cozy and welcoming. The Teahouse offers a wonderful selection of seasonal food, cakes, and desserts, accompanied by a very good set of drinks. While its probably a bit more expensive than your average café, the quality and the unique atmosphere make it absolutely worth it. We had a wonderful time just enjoying life in such a special place. We loved it.

1 /5 Mark Baldwin: I have been a customer for many years because overall the experience is a nice one. However, I have noticed a downward decline in recent months. For example, my son recently had the chicken burger and the meat portion was so small. I wonder if they are even splitting/halving chicken breasts. The meat was also tough. Charging for ketchup seems excessive when a burger is close to £20. It also smacks of desperation which is not a good look. On more than one occasion my cake was dry. At a guess I would say they are keeping unsold cakes for longer. Overall, the portion sizes seem to be getting smaller. The prices certainly are not. Again, I am not looking for cheap, but if you charge premium prices, your product should be premium. The setting is lovely, but that is only going to carry so far. There is a point at which even those who are not price conscious sit up and think, am I being taken for a ride? For now I will be dining elsewhere.
