This Pub is Temporarily Closed

Reported closed for refurb. At date of this entry the owner is seeking consent for a new externally illuminated signwriting to 2no. fascias and 1no. non illuminated wall swing sign.

Apart from some patched-up twentieth-century exterior brick work, this appears to be the original tavern that was built and licensed in 1794/5, making this the oldest surviving pub in Chelsea. Now more of a gastropub than an old-fashioned boozer but pleasant all the same, deep in the heart of Chelsea, with three cask beers and a friendly atmosphere. The wide food menu includes Sunday roasts. Very handy for the Royal Hospital (and its Chelsea Pensioners) and the National Army Museum. Expect to pay Chelsea prices.
