She joined the Petersham Nurseries Cafe as head chef at its opening in 2004, [5] having convinced the owners of the nurseries to allow her to create the "antithesis of a West End restaurant" there. [2] The restaurant was set in the grounds of Petersham House. [5] The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in the 2011 list, [6] and she created a pop-up restaurant in London in conjunction with Cloudy Bay wines later in the year. [7] After eight years at the Cafe, she left the restaurant in 2012. [8] In interviews she explained that she didn't like the expectations that people had of a Michelin-starred restaurant and this led to her decision to quit, [9] and described the star as a "curse", [10] stating, "If I ever have another restaurant I pray we don't get a star." [11] She explained later that she regretted her comments about the Michelin star, but thought that the set up at Petersham just didn't allow for the expectations of customers to be met, describing the facilities as "cooking out of a garage". [11] Escape your everyday routine and transport yourself to the perfect English country garden setting.
