The Dysart, Petersham

Hugely disappointed about what has happened to this pub in the last couple of years. We hadn't been for a while, but remembered a very tasty (if a little expensive) Sunday Lunch about a year ago.

However, we had lunch today and it was truly terrible.

The food was okay, but the portions tiny. I had sausages and mash. It was �13.50 for two sausages the size of a fat man's finger and a dollop of mash. My husband had steak - it was overcooked. But the manager was certain we were at fault "It's how the chef cooks it" "well what do you propose we do about it?" Unnecessarily condescending. Please don't give them your custom. They really don't deserve it; serving mediocre food in a clinical and charmless (albeit spotless) interior with service that varies wildly from friendly (one waitress) to confrontational and aggressive (the manager and another waitress). The ale, while not unpleasant, was limited to a choice of....one.
