The Dysart, Petersham

I am not sure if the new owner wants this pub to be family friendly or not! We went for Saturday lunch, great staff but the rest was below average for the price. The children could choose from spagetti with tomato (�5) or Fish cake (�7) - for one fish cake with lettuce and some tartare sauce! When we asked for some green beans we were told that the beans had been pre measured out so we couldn't have any! The location is great as opposite the park and swings - we visited the swings and came back for desert. Lovely beer garden but the only hitch being that we were told that the owner would prefer our children not to run about in his garden (he didn't come to tell us himself but sent his staff!!)One point for smiling staff, two points for my risotto, three points for location.
