"This brightly painted, flower-festooned former pub looks very much at home in its smart Chelsea location, and the indulgent theme carries on inside with plush dining spaces set over two floors. The menu offers hearty, modern British dishes, with fish and meats cooked over the grill a speciality. In true neighbourhood style, they also offer relaxed Saturday brunches and traditional Sunday lunches." - Michelin Inspector
"This contemporary Chelsea spot offsets its kitchen’s rustic open-grill concept with a calming, plush setting for afternoon tea. This restored pub feels worlds away from its SW3 buzzy postcode on account of a stately home-style drawing room, filled with leather-bound books, chandeliers and homely scatter cushions. Open sandwiches, scones, and mini versions of classic desserts make up their elegant tea stand." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Recently refurbished and renamed, this Chelsea restaurant pairs opulent surroundings with a surprisingly relaxed, almost pub-like warmth. The menu ranges from chateaubriand and native lobster to inventive plates — squid-ink rice topped with grilled langoustine and scallop in a champagne sauce, braised hispi cabbage described as a bold, rural romp, and an aged beef fillet with smoked bone marrow and creamed spinach that exemplifies culinary largesse. Puddings are standouts: poached rhubarb with crisp caramelised puff pastry and rhubarb sorbet, and a melting hot chocolate fondant lifted by a decadent salted caramel goo. Service is jolly, prompt and unobtrusive and chef Iain Smith’s cooking earns high praise. Prices can be eye‑watering, but for largely faultless food in grown-up, comfortable luxury the experience often feels like good value — and dinner here can even be a good laugh." - George Reynolds
"A reinvented Chelsea brasserie that leans into high-style comfort: a recent refurb has produced an epitome of Chelsea elegance and a menu of luxurious, classic dishes aimed at well-heeled diners. Highlights include crab with shellfish roasting juices—fresh and delectable—scallop and langoustine in champagne sauce that’s impossible not to enjoy, and a Veal Château with wonderfully tender, flavourful meat and excellently judged cuisson. Service matches the food’s polish—attentive, charming and cosseting—meaning the experience is intimate and indulgent, even if it doesn’t come cheap." - George Reynolds
