We booked for the Festive lunch. From the start to finish this was a wonderful afternoon. A beautiful room with a spectacular view (we were so pleased to have a table by the window). The welcome and service throughout was excellent and the meal truly outstanding (my wife commented the steak was the best she had ever had). All this and a visit from Santa made for a very special day.

When it comes to dining, Petersham Hotel does not disappoint. The ground floor restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its impeccable interior design and panoramic views of the river. the exceptional service provided by Mr. Umit Eruyar, the manager of the restaurant. His attentiveness and professionalism truly enhanced our dining experience. I had the pleasure of indulging in their breakfast menu, which included a classic English breakfast and perfectly crafted Eggs Benedict. For Father's Day, we were treated to an exceptional dinner. The Minted Lamb Croquette and Crispy Duck Salad were delightful starters, followed by the delectable Chicken Supreme and Pan-Fried Sea Trout as our main courses. To end the meal on a sweet note, I opted for the heavenly Apple Pie. Highly recommend this restaurant nick #doctorfoodielondon

The views from this restaurant are stunning. The atmosphere and food equally so. We were so carefully attended to by Atan who was full of knowledge and very helpful with choosing wine and making sure all ran smoothly. The chef and presentation of food was exemplary. Such a great find. Thank you

Good portions were great and very tasty breakfast! Ample parking with great, comfortable rooms. Located close to town centre. Lovely walk by the water nearby. Could include some more tofu for the vegan breakfast. Would recommend!

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at the Petersham restaurant. Service was exceptional, everything done to perfection down to a tee and the food/ drink was even better. We all had quite a variety which was nice to taste the majority. The smoked salmon comes on a trolley and is sliced at the table which is a lovely touch…the place has such a relaxed atmosphere and you just enjoy the views and wonderful tasty dishes! I had the salmon with celeriac which was cooked to perfection. Finished off with a desert. Had to choose again so we had a selection and tasted the majority! Thanks so much to Umit who is wonderful and made us feel so welcome. I’m sure we will be back!!

All three courses were fine, the coffee was awful unfortunately. I found a hair on the back my Dover sole, they apologised and gave me another main course and only charged me 2 courses in the end which was responsible of them. Overall I’d say the experience was a 7 out of 10
