About

This lovingly restored barge on the River Thames is part of the Daisy Green collective, which continues to spread Aussie brunch vibes across London. This barge once belonged to Jesus College Oxford - presumably with boat-race weekends in mind - but now it makes for the perfect summer sun trap, with al fresco brunching on the weekends as well as lunch and dinner. It even becomes an Aussie beach club-inspired party destination in the late evenings! 

The intimate bar and dining spaces comprises two floors of the barge, with over 120 covers spread across indoor and outdoor dining. Peggy Jean is also home to twin Gozney clay ovens (named Peggy and Jean), which means freshly-baked pizzas can be slung out at a rapid pace throughout the day. Expect classics such as the Margherita and Hot Sausage with cold fermented jalapeno hot sauce, alongside creative Aus-inspired additions like Vegemite and Cheese, and The Aussie - a delicious combo of cured ham, tomato, barbecue pineapple, mozzarella, Clarence Court egg and pink pickled onions. 

That's not all - the day menu also includes the likes of fresh calamari, day boat fish and Tomahawk steaks to share - all cooked over coals. Meanwhile, Daisy Green Collective specialises in long and lazy bottomless brunching, and Peggy Jean does brunch in style too. Catch up over signature favourites like Daisy's beloved bacon rolls (with hollandaise, back bacon, poached egg, crispy onions and chilli), the award-winning banana bread sandwich and comforting buttermilk blueberry pancakes with whipped mascarpone. All that with one of London's best brunch views, across the Thames and beyond to Richmond Bridge and Richmond riverside.  

Peggy Jean is also dog friendly throughout the day, with comfy cog beds, plenty of water and special dog biscuits provided for your pal.

A wonderful evening

Lovely food and wonderful service!

Although if your table is booked for 2 hours, they do have a tendency to rush you out if they are busy (so I would recommend to ask for a longer booking if needed).

The portions are huge, so great value for money! They also offer takeaway boxes!

All in all, a lovely evening and will definitely be back!

Nice Ambience, Terrible Food & Service

Quite possibly the worst service i've ever encountered.
The positives-
Great setting and location
The Negatives- Staff and Food
20 mins for drinks to arrive after ordering.The cocktail was like water, must have been sat on a bar waiting to be taken to our table!! Empties were not collected i ended up leaving dirty glassware on the floor.
Really Surly and sarcastic Bar Lady
Starters arrived and they were okay.
My Pizza arrived and then 25 mins later my partners main arrived!!! 25 minutes!! We asked for a chaser three times.
When the risotto arrived it was inedible, the salt levels were off the scale how a kitchen can send send a dish out like this its an embarrassment to the chef(is he even a chef)
I asked the manager to taste the dish he refused.
To top it all off he charged us for it.
So disappointed as i had booked to visit for the brunch with a group of friends next week.
This was an early sitting at 18.15 and it wasn't even fully booked.

Only positive was the ambience

Dont go for the food or drink offering, Richmond is FULL of better venues who appreciate the custom.

Would give Zero stars if possible.

Truly wonderful! Visited Peggy Jean for date night with my partner. We were sat on the deck closest to the river, the view was amazing and sunset was unreal. Best food in area! We shared the calamari, sheeps milk feta and tomahawk - delicious. There was a great selection of wines & cocktails. Staff were really attentive and friendly. Can't wait to visit again soon

Amazing boat restaurant

Great restaurant on the riverside Richmond, food is delightful, fresh and portions are good. 
We opted for some smalls to start, and a mixture of brunch dishes and pizzas. Service is very relaxed, friendly and efficient, probably the best restaurant we tried in Richmond. 
highly recommended. 
p.s. cocktails are also incredible

Fabulous food, great service and stunning setting! Best brunch I’ve ever had.

Having lived in Australia, I know the Aussies know how to do brunch. It’s something that I’ve missed since returning to the UK, but wowzers, the team at Peggy Jean sure delivered today! We tried the bottomless brunch and it did not disappoint. We were taken care of by the lovely Phoenix who ensured our glasses were always full and that our two courses (a main and sweet) were staggered so we had a little break between them both. Honestly, the food was just incredible and I can’t wait to return. If you decide to try this yourself, just make sure you wear forgiving clothes as the portions are exceptionally generous! Thanks all at Peggy Jean.

We have been sitting in the restaurant which we have booked from 1.30- 3pm. It's now 2.40 pm and we have been told that the food may be another 30 minutes. 1.5 hours of waiting for food is not acceptable and we have had no one come to keep us updated not we're we told upon arrival that there would be such a wait. Terrible
