The Chalk Freehouse

The Chalk Freehouse is a very special pub. We were not expecting to stumble across such an upscale eatery. We were just finishing a wonderful week in Chelsea and came across this spectacular pub. The food is incredible. Malted Porridge Bloomer Sourdough with Estate Dairy Salted Butter-“The Hand & Flowers”Chicken & Duck Liver Parfait with Poultry Jelly, Apricot Chutney and Toasted Brioche- White Onion Soup - Mixed Green Salad - 30 Day Dry Aged Babette of Beef - “Chelsea Bun” with Cold Vanilla Custard - Soft Brown Sugar Meringue with English Strawberry & Champagne Cocktails. Everything seasoned & cooked to perfection. Amazing staff with a fabulous vibe. Just a perfect way to finish a special vacation. Thank you everyone at The Chalk! We definitely recommend this pub for a special lunch or dinner.

Just arrived home from a lovely dinner at the Chalk Freehouse. The drinks and food were excellent and diverse. An elevated pub experience. The onion soup was creamy, slightly sweet and served with a Parmesan twist. The sourdough was hearty and warm. I tried a house whiskey drink that was unique, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our waiter was helpful, efficient, and available without being intrusive.

We wandered across this place about a month ago on a Sunday but unfortunately couldn't get a table 😕 But on our next visit to the area we were sure to book a table and omg what an absolute dream visit. The staff were so lovely, attentive, efficient, and they made us and our dogs feel welcomed. The food was incredible, so delicious and just the right portion size. This place is now on our list so we're looking forward to visiting again.

First visit here after hearing TK talking at the Henley Literary Festival. Very smart looking place in Chelsea. Table for four booked. Very friendly arrival and our table had a birthday card on it for our friend😁 Wine Starters Mains More wine😁 Smallish menu but great selections including Fish, Baby Chicken in Curry Butter and Pork Schnitzel Chops all well cooked and tasty. No room for puds. Great service and explanation re food and restaurant. Nice toilets and classy soaps 😁🧴 Highly recommended 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

An outstanding meal from start to finish. We ordered a selection of snacks and starters to share, and honestly, the different butters alone are to die for. The mustard & herb butter and the brown crab aioli were absolute standouts — I’d come back just for those. For mains, we had the Pork Chop Schnitzel, which was perfectly crispy and paired beautifully with smoked bacon, pickled cabbage, and a rich duck egg — absolute comfort food, but done to perfection. We also had the Chicken which was packed with flavour. The sauce was incredible, and it paired so well with the braised beans and preserved lemon. Such a clever and delicious combination. The atmosphere was relaxed yet refined, and the service was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. You can really tell that so much care and attention goes into every dish here. This is a restaurant that gets everything right — flavour, service, and setting. Highly recommend.

We recently visited The Chalk Freehouse in Chelsea for drinks and bar snacks, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and full of character—perfect for a relaxed evening out. The service was truly first class: attentive without being intrusive, with staff who made us feel welcome and well looked after throughout our visit. The drinks selection was excellent, and the bar snacks were not only delicious but beautifully presented, adding to the overall experience. It’s rare to find a place that combines such a vibrant atmosphere with impeccable service, but The Chalk Freehouse manages it effortlessly. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual drink or a light bite, this spot is a gem in Chelsea that we’ll definitely be returning to.

We only arrived in London that day and hadn’t booked anything. After several flat refusals at nearby pubs. We were destined for Mc Donald’s. But as we were heading back to the hotel we came across The Chalk. We obviously hadn’t booked, but the staff arranged at table after a short wait (and we didn’t even have to say we knew the chef). Which another latecomer was claiming? Great food. Great beers. Great staff. Five stars from me

A great time was had at the Butchers Tap and Grill. We visited for their special Lamb Feast menu. The food was very good serving 4 different cuts of Lamb. The service was good as was the ambience. Unfortunately we were told that they would be rebranding and relaunching as a different concept in the very near future. We had a great time and I assume that Tom Kerridge and his partners will be opening another interesting venue.
