The Phene

The Phene is a hidden gem in the heart of Chelsea, offering an elegant and versatile setting for weddings and celebrations. As a wedding photographer, I have had the pleasure of documenting love stories at this iconic venue, and its blend of historical charm and modern sophistication makes it a truly unique choice.

Had the opportunity to try this place through work. The fish and scallops were delicious, showcasing the chef's skill. However, the bacon was a bit overcooked, which affected the overall dish. The service was fine, attentive but room for improvement. Overall, a good experience with potential for perfection.

We held a private event in The Oakley Room and everything was wonderful. Our service from Michaela was excellent - warm, friendly and personal. The food was amazing, even for our large party size. The events team were really helpful and responsive in the lead up to the event. I would definitely recommend and use The Phene again for future events.

Welcoming and popular pub with friendly service and tasty food. There is also outdoor seating. There is a llthe pub side and the restaurant side. Nicely decorated.

Nice pub, the taste of the food is above average. Their Sunday roast plates are delicious. Staff is not paying attention unless you wave with both hands for 45 seconds but they were nice

It was memorable, great wine and food. Welcoming and heartfelt door man, much appreciated!!⚡ outdoor seating 20/10

Brilliant event, from the planning to the actual event itself. Food was delicious, service was fantastic and everything was just seamless! Kim was always on hand to help in the run up and Clara was great on the day - thanks to the whole team! Going to the pub afterwards in our fancy dress outfits was the perfect end to our time at The Phene. A fabulous work Christmas event.

🚇 South Kensington 🍺 £6.60 Amstel Tucked away in a leafy side street just a short walk from the King’s Road, you’ll find The Phene pub. The nearest Tube is South Ken, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. This pub was built in 1853 and was designed by and named after the architect and local character John Samuel Phene. George Best used to be a regular here, The Daily Telegraph called it “George Best’s second home". This is a stylish multi room Gastropub which has five separate areas. The main bar area is bright and airy with contemporary comfortable feel. The servery is located on the right, at the back of the main bar is cosy dining area with eclectic prints on the walls. On the first floor is a spacious room for hire which has a small bar. On the top floor is the snug Club Room which is an intimate setting. To left of the pub is a good size leafy beer garden. There is a decent choice of mainstream beers available plus once cask ale. I decided on a pint of Amstel, my pint was ok, price point was above average. The food menu consists of restaurant quality seasonal dishes which will appeal to the gastronomes amongst you. On Sundays Roasts take centre stage, most Roast options are around £20. I visited around 4pm on a mild March afternoon for an afterwork pint. There were a few punters in the beer garden and the main bar was relaxed and chilled. I had a nice chat with the Guv’nor who was kind enough to give me a tour and tell me about the history of the pub, top fella. The Phene, pronounced ‘Feenay’ is a plush Gastro that reflects the area it resides in. This pub will appeal to foodies that prefer the relaxed feel of a pub setting rather than a restaurant, If you just fancy a drink, you are still catered for. All said, this is a beautiful Victorian pub. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 01.03.24
