Cadogan Arms

"This show-stopping pub on the King’s Road is glamorous on the eye but simply delightful when it comes to the British food. The ham, egg, and chips is one of our top 10 pub meals, and a massive golden brown chicken kiev served with a shaved fennel salad manages to feel both reserved and decadent at the same time. There’s pie, steak, and grilled fish on offer too, but whatever you do, make sure you get extra chips on the side—they’re excellent. There’s also an unmissable trifle which is a brilliant ‘80s dinner party throwback." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna

"We once claimed that there isn’t a single dessert in London that could make us forget the supreme ’70s glamour and glory of The Cadogan Arms’ colossal fruit trifle. And now, as we stare longingly at a friend of friend’s blurry picture of The Devonshire’s sticky toffee pudding, we have to live with that. Still, thanks to its fancified—and satisfying—British classics and the velvet armchairs that will swallow you whole, this chandelier-clad Chelsea beauty is warm, decadent, and also offers just the right level of Victoriana. " - heidi lauth beasley

"At The Cadogan Arms there’s an open fire, fish and chips on the menu, and deep armchairs that will swallow you whole after a third pint. But that plays it down. This golden, jaw-dropping Chelsea pub serves quintessential British cosiness with the gliding confidence and sophistication of a Downton Abbey dame. With rare bottles of Bordeaux and stained glass windows, this is a public house that’s truly fit for the King’s Road." - jake missing

"This jaw-dropping Chelsea pub serves quintessential British cosiness with the gliding confidence and sophistication of a Bridgerton dame. There’s an open fire, fish and chips on the menu, and deep armchairs that will swallow you whole after a third pint. But there are also stained glass windows behind the bar, rare bottles of £650 Bordeaux on the wine list, and those deep snuggle-fest armchairs are upholstered in ivy velvet. However, you can easily get away with wearing your dad jeans to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon here. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"Yes, your dog would appreciate the comfy interiors of this refurbished Chelsea pub just as much as the next human, and thankfully, they’re invited too. But whether you decide to share the excellent ham, egg, and chips (that could easily end up being one of the top 10 pub meals you ever eat) with your bestie under the table is up to you. Happily, this show-stopping pub keeps things simple and delightful. Think a massive golden brown chicken kiev, pie, steak, and a dining room that you’ll want to spend hours in." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
