Goodish food but eye-wateringly expensive.
This is a pretty restaurant with mixed quality food and extremely expensive. Service was good. Our starters of pickled beetroot and liver parfait were both excellent. Both main course pasta dishes were obviously made from fresh pasta but unfortunately about 30 seconds over-cooked and so had no bite to them. We had one side dish of broccoli which was fine. We had 3 glasses (between two of us) of one of the cheaper red wines at £20 a glass. No pudding or coffee as we were heading for the ballet. The whole experience cost us just over £190 and we came out thinking how did we do that? Not again I am afraid.

I went with a couple of colleagues after work and we had a lovely time. The Restaurant has a beautiful set-up and the ambience with lovely with unique paintings and artwork and dramatic floral displays. The food was amazing, I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Liver Parfait, and my colleague loved the Tiramisu! Service was great and the staff were attentive ensuring we had everything we needed or wanted throughout the meal. It is a great little find off the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden Plaza and look forward to returning in the summer to enjoy a meal in the courtyard area.
Be the first to ReplyExpectations dashed by disappointing food and service
Beautiful setting and ambience. I'm afraid to say, the positives rest there. I was recommended The Petersham and booked for my partners birthday. I cannot describe how disappointed we were - the food was mediocre (at best) and was further let down by the service. We opted for the foraged mushrooms as a starter - we were presented with a lot of "nothing" in batter placed in a bowl with paper underneath. Tasteless other than grease and oil. How on earth did this ever pass the test when the menu was devised? Much of the starter was left and we were hoping the main would redeem. Ox cheek - very fatty and flavours were bland. We swiftly declined the offer of desert. The service was poor and the managers response to our disappointment was equally bad. Yes, 10% was knocked off the final bill but nothing could make up for an awful start to my partner's birthday celebrations. Thankfully we found much better restaurants for the remaining stay - Clos Maggiore and Fallow - both of which delivered 200% more than The Petersham. £200 was an awful lot of money to be left so disappointed. Awarded more than 1 star given the lovely setting. Serious attention needs to be given to what is happening at The Petersham - this is represented not only by this review but other recent reviews and other disappointed customers during our visit. Such a shame.
Be the first to ReplyPushy service for ok food
Food was ok, good in general, not worth the price though. The vegeterian options were scarse, and the wine list was again good but overpriced, I know many of the wines and they do not remotely cost that much not even including import and surcharge, there was nothing under £50 and some of them cost 5£ in Italy! The service was one of the worst ever experienced I had to apologize with the friends we had with us . The lady who served us was trying to push the most expensive dishes on us and minimize the size of plates to make us get more. When explaining the menu she gave an explanation of the special and then literally said “I can’t explain the whole thing” adding a bla bla bla here and there when the explanation was too long. When asked about beer or vegetarian dishes again she downplayed them suggesting we would go for something else. She took the wrong order and one of the plate that arrived was uncorrected. When sustituted after few minutes she insisted we tried The wrong one because it was good and “it’s a shame for it to go to waste”. Nicely the restaurant discounted the bill due to the mistake. Also £16 for the bread at the table is a big no.

Thankyou Giuseppe & Nadia for excellent service! You made us feel like we were the only patrons in the restaurant. The food was absolutely Devine. Portions were smaller BUT were very filling and well worth the money! The atmosphere was delight. Fresh flowers everywhere. Very lucky to have dined twice with you this week! My only complaint.,,, I would love a little shop like the Petersham in Richmond to give you more of my $$$. Thankyou again for a lovely lunch & wonderful visit. Very fortunate to have Giuseppe & Nadia … best service I have had in London! xo
Be the first to ReplyNice food, poor service
Very happy with the food and wine pairing. The interior is beautiful. However, the chairs are not comfortable and the venue is a bit noisy (acoustic). More disappointing, the service was a let down. The cocktails we had ordered for pre drinks arrived together with the first course (with wine). Then there was a long wait for the second course, with wine pairing being poured after the food had arrived. One member of the staff in particular was less than charming, more concerned with himself rather than paying attention to the guests or being a good colleague. Will not go again and not recommend.
Be the first to ReplySo enjoyable!
Been there with my mom for desserts and had a delightful experience at this charming italian spot in Covent Garden. From the warm welcome by Ioana at the door to Giuseppe's engaging presentation of the desserts, the experience was elevated. Valentin, the sommelier, shared insightful details about the wine while Valentina ensured we were well looked after throughout. Their exceptional service added a personal touch making our visit truly memorable. Our experience was so enjoyable that we're already planning our next return. Thank you very very much!
Be the first to ReplyNew Years meal cost not matched with quality
The service was lacking. The meal was a new years event and should have lasted till 12.30. The fixed menu for 2 was £400 excl. drinks. That’s not unusual in central London for higher standard meals and service. Unfortunately the cost was not matched by quality. We are Londoners and are familiar with what’s available. So, the food and service fell well short of what was advertised. No NY fizz was offered before 12.00 and then the bill was presented to us, and the music ceased, at 12.02.
Be the first to ReplyPretty but average
This is an incredibly pretty restaurant. There is a great choice of cocktails. The winter menu includes lots of options, but we found that the menu didn’t accurately describe the dish, that is to say, there were ingredients or spices which you wouldn’t know were in the dish until you ate it. A restaurant that asks you if you have any allergies should detail all ingredients, this left for some interesting surprises. The downside was the cutlery and the toilets. The first time this has happened to me in a restaurant. The cutlery left off a black mark on your fingers (sort of like when you wear cheap jewellery and there’s a green mark left if you get it wet or have moisture). We raised this with the staff after our mains and when we got our cutlery for the dessert, we noticed the same thing had happened again. It was incredibly disappointing and so strange. Again, if you have an allergy to metals, this would have been a problem. The toilets were disgusting and I’m surprised that a restaurant of that standard and appearance doesn’t have someone actively cleaning and checking the toilets. In the ladies’, one toilet was flagged out of order, one was blocked (you couldn’t flush it at all) and one had wee all over the floor. The taps didn’t really work either. The only nice thing was the soap/hand cream which smelt lovely. Otherwise, I wish I hadn’t needed to use the rest room. For appetisers: Jerusalem Artichoke and Scallop Carpaccio. The artichoke is a shareable dish as there are plenty of foraged mushrooms. The artichokes are few but tasty. The scallop was so fresh and the lemon/garlic sauce was incredible. For starters: Fettuccine and Tortello del are. The sauce of the fettuccine was dry meaning it was difficult to twirl the pasta and you had to ensure it didn’t stick together. Could have done with some more liquid. The Tortello dish consisted of 5 tortellini in a creamy sauce, black truffle and a pungent Parmigiano reggiano. Heavy than expect but packed a punch. For mains: The Petersham Brasato and the Spicy Onion Squash. The beef cheeks were cooked very nicely and fell apart, and pairs with the truffle and jus. The pickled cabbage is definitely a necessity to break up the taste. Again though, a heavy dish. The squash itself was tasty. However it comes with this crispy rice which makes no sense. There are also a lot of fragrant sauces and vegetables on the plate. Definitely not a Mediterranean dish and probably wouldn’t order this again. Desserts: Rum baba and profiterole. The Baba is a classic, the sponge was amazing, the cream was fresh, the strawberries and presentation were a nice touch. The profiterole wasn’t anything special. The pastry was quite plasticky, the cream mid and the sauce was poured over the top and kind of ruined the dish. As this booking was for a birthday, we also received a decorated lemon sorbet crumble. The sorbet was unreal and exactly what you need after many dishes. Would definitely recommend.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing and overpriced
Went for New Year's Eve dinner. £170 per person and drinks on top. Not good value for money. Tiny canapé to begin with, then cerviche prawns, underwhelming cauliflower truffle risotto and then hake on mash with no veg. Heavy on salt throughout. Unusual, v chocolatey tiramasu but huge to end with and v rich. Drinks were nice - glass of Italian fizz, IPA beer and 1/2 bottle of soave. Jazz trio playing but finished at 12.02. Then bill presented with a hurried new year greeting. We were not asked in the lead up to midnight if we wanted any bubbles to toast the new year in. Given the evening and expense, we were not made to feel that visiting the Petersham was a special event. Overall, extremely disappointing.
Be the first to ReplyOverpriced and mediocre
Sorry this was a big miss for me. The food is horrendously overpriced and, the majority, distinctly average. Disappointingly when paying £40-£50 for dish the waitress should know exactly what the dish comprises. To be fair the carpaccio with grapes was well worth the money but the steak (bland) / monkfish curry (bland) and fish stew was very much not. Definitely not somewhere I will be going back.
Be the first to ReplySensational Food
Came here two years ago and was not blown away. Decided to give it another try because the restaurant is beautiful and elegant. The staff informed me that they have a new executive chef and let me say : BRAVO. Beef tartare 10/10 , Risotto and Linguine Pasta were outstanding. Monkfish curry is also well executed. Tiramisu is the best i ever had also because its different from the usual ones you find in Italian restaurants.
Be the first to ReplyPerfect in everything!
Amazing place! My friend took me here when I was visiting London during a work trip. We were welcomed from very friendly staff who looked after us all evening. The food was so tasty and the wine recommended by the waitress was perfect! The atmosphere and decor is really nice and I thought that for a fine dining experience it wasn’t incredibly expensive especially considering that the restaurant it’s in one of the most famous and luxurious part of London. All in all highly recommended.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and outstanding service
I took my Italian friend here who was visiting London. I was eager to impress her with Italian cuisine and found this little gem. The food was delicious and we had great table service. The ambience was out of this world. We both felt special and it made for an overall pleasant experience. Highly recommended and will hopefully go back some time soon.

Overall we were very disappointed. I did not like the food or the drink. The waiter never bothered telling us the food will take more than 30 mins. We were not asked how would we like our lamb cooked. It was rare and disgusting. Paid a whopping amount and ate only potatoes.
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointing
We were in London for the day and was walking around Covent Garden saw this cafe/Deli and thought we would stop for lunch. Lovely decor and looked inviting but that all soon changed. Waiter was abrupt and service dreadful. Food was not worth the money and small portions. Would not recommend.

We visited here for a family lunch today. First impression of venue was very positive however the entire lunch with every course was completely disappointing. Everything was Luke warm bland unattractive looking with very very long gaps between courses. I highly recommend not visiting this restaurant.

Good service.Interesting tasting menu and nice interior decor. Quality food so reflects the price wine a little pricy but not unusual for a good restaurant. Very central location in Covent Garden.Worth a visit.
Be the first to ReplyAfternoon tea for two…
Visited The Petersham Covent Garden for afternoon tea as a gift. They were extremely accommodating given that one of us was a coeliac, and the other was no pork/fish/shellfish. Bellinis to start, then your choice of tea or coffee. You should be aware that the usual finger sandwiches are missing but replaced with delicate little tarts, toasts etc. Scones with jam and cream, together with lemon meringue tarts, macaroons, apple crumble, cookies. The only slight grumble is that everything comes in one go so within about an hour, you’re finished. The staff were all lovely. All in all, we had a really lovely time 😊
Be the first to ReplyLovely food but small portions and spotty drinks selection and service
I went to the Petersham with colleagues for a work dinner. The food itself was very good. The croquettes starter (La Crochetta), risotto and beef (il brasato) were all delightful, along with the desserts. However the portion sizes are small, and there aren’t many options for ordering side dishes for someone like me with a big appetite. After being seated, I was offered wine, to which I declined and asked for a Diet Coke. The sommelier snappily told me that “we do not have Coca Cola or Pepsi, only Karma Cola”. I said ok to a diet karma cola. Thirty minutes later, it hadn’t arrived and I was still drinking just tap water. I asked a waiter, at which point the Karma Cola arrived - albeit not the diet version. In all my life, this is the first restaurant I have come across that offers neither Coca Cola nor Pepsi. My message to the Petersham, please at least consider offering more soft drinks. Not everyone wishes to drink alcohol at dinner, whether due to taste, health reasons, or beliefs.
Be the first to ReplyDiabetics avoid
In my entire 21 years of being diabetic I have never once been to a restaurant, cafe or anywhere in fact that didn’t offer one sugar free drink options. apologies, they did, soda water. Normally I am left only with a Diet Coke as my choice but to not even have that as an option is so bad. The closest option after soda water was fever tree light however this still contains two teaspoons of sugar. Gobsmacked. Food wise i did enjoy the starter and desert, main was lacking BUT a bitter taste had already been left in my mouth by the drinks situation. Also extremely over priced for what it is.
Be the first to ReplyBeware of the sommeliere
We went out with family. Two of us were still expected. The sommeliere asked whether we wanted any wine, but we said we would wait for 2 more persons. Without further ado the wine list and the wine glasses were removed. Unvelievable childish reaction. The starters were lovely, bread and oil ok too, the main dishes good though the sauces accompanying the meat were on the salty side. The pavlova was a rather small, unappelingly presented affair with 3 slabs of meringue of an odd taste. The Aperol Spritz was on the watery side and the wines overpriced. Lovely interieur though but a huge noise level.
Be the first to ReplyAvoid! This is a scam
The only good thing about this place is maybe the setting / decor and location.
Otherwise the staff are frosty, the food is extremely average (some dishes even unpleasant) and prices extortionate.
First we were made to feel bad about not ordering wine, which was a ridiculously prohibitive pricing at average £100+ a bottle. Sales wines you can get in other restaurants for around £40 had crazy mark up. So we got cocktails like negronis (£14 might seem ok for central london but they messed up the order and we were made to feel bad about this
Then the three course set menu was very disappointing. Gnocchi in particular was very mushy and felt like School dinner. Most of our guests couldn’t eat it. Steak tartare was slightly better option but not standard you’d expect in this kind of place. Mains again ordered was messed up and not particularly apologetic. Desserts slightly better but let’s be clear NOT worth the £70-80 price tag per head.
We didn’t let it ruin our evening but if you have £120 to spend on dinner DO NOT go here. Save your pennies and try some of the much nicer food and better wine on offer in Covent Garden and soho (including within 2 mins of this place!)
