    Try the free-range minced steak "Phene Burger" w/ homemade ketchup & hand cut chips before slurping specialties like the Chambord-addled "Phene Colada" & the spiced rum/orange/mango/raspberry "Phene". Read more

    Extremely nice terrace and good looking interior. Perfect for drinks with friends or a date! The staff is really nice!

    Lovely place, the beer garden is amazing. The food is nice, Swordfish was lovely, the burger was sadly disappointing. Full review... Read more

    Sit in the garden and enjoy the egg shaped swingy chairs while having your drinky-poo. Overpriced fancy schmancy pub but worth it. It's Chelsea after all.

    The food is fantastic, unfortunately the service didn't match up. The bar area is lively, full of the young Chelsea crowd.

    The food is not great. But the garden is delightful. The staff are charming and the Chateau Saint Baillon Rose is soooo easy to gulp down.

    Had brunch there. Although not a huge menu they have all the classics and from what I ordered, scrambled eggs and salmon, they do brunch well!

    A chaotic menu that staggers from sandwiches and smoothies to more 'ambitious' items such as chicken, orange and cashew curry. Metro gave it 2 out of 5 Stars. Read more

    Good place during quieter times but can get really busy. Very strange to have such horrible toilets in such a nice pub... Beware!

    Food is absolutely horrendous! The place is beautiful, particularly the terrace but if you are looking for somewhere to eat, move somewhere else.

    Platter came out eventually and the bread was mouldy. Took another 20 minutes to get new bread. No apology from staff, almost like we were inconveniencing them. Sorry your bread was mouldy...

    Waited an hour to get a cheese and cured meat platter. Show me where the fridge is and I'll do it myself...

    Incredibly rude staff. Don't laugh in the beer garden or you'll be asked to be quiet. Full of pretentious braying rich idiots comparing bank balances.

    Worst meal I have had in London for years, it's like we're back in the 90's and it's bad pub food everywhere. Service is pretty dire too. Only good thing is the great looking interior.

    "please be quiet" "you can't be outside unless you're on a chair" "please stop laughing" worst pub in london with very rude staff/nobby bouncers. Avoid like TB
