Eating around Ham and Petersham
Where Ham eats when the kitchen stays cold
Ham sits between Richmond Park and the Thames, which is lovely for walking and less generous for restaurants. Most of the village's evening food comes either from a short drive up Petersham Road into Richmond, or from delivery — which is why the searches we see most from TW10 are places to eat near Ham, curry near Richmond and Indian takeaway Richmond.
We have been cooking on 16 Ashburnham Road, Richmond TW10 7NF since 2008 — the closest Indian kitchen to Ham village and our fastest delivery zone. This page pulls together the practical bits: distances, timings, what to order, and where to read more.
