The Dysart, Petersham

Being local we really wanted this pub to work for us. It's in a great location as we like to combine a pub lunch with a family walk in Richmond Park. It looks the part and has very convenient parking opposite the Park and next to the childrens play area. However, after a number of chances the Dysart has let us down time and time again! It is far from being described as a 'family pub'. Families with children are not made to feel welcome at all. with children only allowed in a certain area of the dinning area and buggies are not allowed inside at all. I appreciate it does not suit all but dogs are also not made welcome (although allowed) but not in the same area as children so this did not work for us at all. The food is passable and the service is a little cold to say the least! This is a little bit of a rant after another bad experience today but please be assured that it is heartily felt after several disappointing visits. If you fancy a warming pint after a walk in the Park with your family, this is NOT the pub for you!!
