The Dysart Petersham has recently undergone a complete interior refurbishment, bringing back to life as many of the original Arts and Crafts elements of the building as possible to set a stylish and comfortable atmosphere.

Our menus change with the seasons as well as always holding a few of our signature dishes, freshly cooked to order by our Head Chef and his team, emphasising freshness, well balanced flavours, ethical sourcing and country values. We have a garden and a forager who provide local Petersham grown produce to our chef.

Wonderful hosts with a true passion for what they do. Great to learn it’s a family run business. With only 11 tables in the restaurant, they really do focus on delivering quality over quantity for their guests. My partner and I both had the set menu which provided a wide array of different dishes, all of which were VERY unique. Personal standouts were the Lamb dish and the Blood Orange dessert (possibly the best dessert I’ve ever had). The only area for improvement from the perspective of my partner and I is that some of the dishes were not quite hot enough.

We had a wonderful time at the Dysart. The staff were lovely, really friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The interior design is stunning and the restaurant is light and airy, with lots of space between tables. The windows are fabulous which is why the interior of the building is bathed in light. The food is extraordinary and the wine was delicious. We came from York to meet friends and attend ‘Le Crunch’, England vs France at Twickenham with a sold-out crowd of 81,000. The restaurant let us leave our car in their spacious car park for free whilst we walked to and from the stadium for the game. England won by one point, 26-25 in a thrilling match to top off a perfect day. We recommend the Dysart and the rugby highly - both were perfect.” - Professor Simon Morris

Beautiful and peaceful setting. Lovely to be at a venue with tables spread out. The food was lovely although the sauce with the lamb was a little rich for my liking that just personal taste. The staff were attentive but not fussy and they look like they enjoy their jobs which is important to me. Very lovely evening thank you
