Surf, turf and the ‘best brunch in the world’ – Fashionable floating café bar for Richmond Riverside

A floating Aussie café bar and restaurant is set to make a splash on the Richmond riverside.

The Peggy Jean is being opened by the fashionable Daisy Green Food company, which already has outlets in popular London locations from Little Venice to Mayfair and the Grand Union canal.

It is the latest restaurant and bar to open on the riverside close to the terraces and Richmond Bridge, which confirm the borough's growing reputation for fine food.

Just last year, we had the opening of The Fat Badger, which celebrates the finest British food direct from the farm of the famous Gladwin brothers.

Before that Tapas Brindisa arrived on a prime site overlooking the terraces. There is also a branch of the Ivy while Scotts of Mayfair is due to open a stylish fish restaurant.

The Peggy Jean promises to bring relaxed and buzzing Australian food and coffee culture to Richmond.

Menus are inspired by the founder Prue Freeman's childhood on a sheep farm in Australia and hot summers on the beach. So expect a mix of surf and turf, together with traditional Lamingtons along with fabulous ice cream desserts including a Frozen Golden Crispy Mars Bar.

The group is famous for its bottomless brunches, while its Bondi breakfast offers back bacon, poached eggs, chilli and fennel sausage, mushrooms, avocado, house chilli pesto, and cold fermented activated charcoal sourdough.

Just last year, the group's Soho outlet was named as offering the best brunch in the world by TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards.

The group was founded on the streets in 2012 with two vintage ice cream vans (Pinky Green and Wander Green) and three tricycles.

Over the last decade it has grown organically to include an exciting mix of cafes, restaurants, secret underground gardens, canal boats and shipping containers.
