[3] She cooked for dinner parties, including for celebrity chef Nigella Lawson. [4] Bread that's as light as a feather and such tasty fillings but the cheese and leek scone was the star of the show from the savoury level. I would give 3.5 if it was an option. Heard a lot of good things so booked on a whim for an anniversary lunch. S haped by the creativity, character and passions of owners Francesco and Gael, together with their four children – Petersham Nurseries is a true family business; a hotbed of energy and ideas that delights in a shared dedication to the environment and positive living.’

She joined the Petersham Nurseries Cafe as head chef at its opening in 2004, [5] having convinced the owners of the nurseries to allow her to create the "antithesis of a West End restaurant" there. [2] The restaurant was set in the grounds of Petersham House. [5] The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the 2011 list, [6] and she created a pop-up restaurant in London in conjunction with Cloudy Bay wines later in the year. [7] After eight years at the Cafe, she left the restaurant in 2012. [8] In interviews she explained that she didn't like the expectations that people had of a Michelin-starred restaurant and this led to her decision to quit, [9] and described the star as a "curse", [10] stating, "If I ever have another restaurant I pray we don't get a star." [11] She explained later that she regretted her comments about the Michelin star, but thought that the set up at Petersham just didn't allow for the expectations of customers to be met, describing the facilities as "cooking out of a garage".

Having been here twice now and on both occasions accessed it by walking across the meadows from the main road, can someone advise on the best place to park? I know there are some spaces in the lane leading to it but this week it was very muddy and puddles everywhere and clearly limited in the number of vehicles it can take.

We are so pleased you enjoyed your afternoon tea dining experience with us and we will make sure to pass your praise on to our chefs and the wider team. Gyngell has two children [11] and was married to Thomas Gore between 1989 and 1996. [15] Published works [ edit ]

"Skye Gyngell leaves Petersham Nurseries". Caterer and Hotelkeeper . Retrieved 29 July 2012.This is an upmarket plant nurseries, which also has great cafes / food / cake which you can enjoy among flowers and leaves. Coffee and cakes very good (have not had a full meal as it's a little pricey!) Lovely to have drinks and conversation... under a fig tree on a sunny day. Most of the food was good but chocolate soufflé was a fondant rather than a soufflé which was disappointing. Wine by the bottle is expensive and poor value. By the glass probably a better choice.
