With its riverside setting - and more than its fair share of excellent eateries - Richmond is the ideal place to host a brand new gastronomic event. This summer sees the launch of the first ever Richmond Food & Drink Festival, backed by local food heroes Skye Gyngell from Petersham Nurseries, Paul Merrett, author, TV presenter and chef/owner of The Victoria gastro pub and award winning chocolatier William Curley. The whole town is taking part with a range of activities including an extensive producers market organised by Slow Food and Food Lovers Britain running along the riverside. There's a gourmet family picnic on the Terrace Gardens, tastings, celebrity chef talks and demonstrations and events in the restaurants and food shops of Richmond. With festival veterans Melvyn Benn of Festival Republic, Richmond resident and entrepreneur Adam Page and Phil Jones of the Manchester Food & Drink Festival behind it, this should be the first Richmond Food & Drink Festival of many.About Petersham Nurseries Cafe and Teahouse
When a top chef claims to be opening a 'simple', 'low-key' restaurant, it is usually press-speak for some folie de grandeur two doors down from the Ivy with an £85 tasting menu. Petersham Nurseries is the exception. Located in what can only be described as a shed (spacious, light and furnished, but definitely a shed), it's the sort of restaurant where you'll see the chef popping out of the kitchen to pick herbs from the garden, and where homemade lemonade sits above the Pinot Noir on the drinks list.
