Founded by Annabel Partridge – formerly Sous Chef at Petersham Nurseries under Skye Gyngell when it earned its Michelin Star, and Sous Chef at Skye’s Spring Restaurant at Somerset House – and Will Burrett, who worked alongside Annabel at Petersham Nurseries and Spring, Pear Tree Café seats 100 diners inside, with space for 350 diners outside.
With thoughtfully sourced ingredients cooked simply and presented beautifully, Pear Tree Café serves breakfast and a seasonal all-day lunch menu until dusk on weekdays, brunch at weekends and pop-up supper clubs on winter evenings. The seasonal all-day (weekly changing) menus offers five specials each day including a meat, fish, vegetarian, salad and soup option, as well as freshly made sandwiches and a children’s menu.
