Hunter's Moon
86 Fulham Road, Chelsea SW3 6HR
Following various ups and downs (see the Historic Interest section) this site reopened in late 2019 as Hunter's Moon, the debut site of the Lunar Pub Company. The interiors are rustic-chic, featuring oak and vintage tile flooring, textured walls and ceilings, leather seating, pendant lighting and antique mirrors. There is a dining room at the back seating 48 and a small pub at the front seating 25. Pub grub at the front includes scotch eggs, sausage rolls and courgette and ricotta croquettes plus oysters and charcuterie. The dining room offers a modern European menu changing daily, and the venue is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner including Saturday brunch and Sunday roasts. The restaurant has attracted good reviews since opening and its prices reflect the local area. Two real ales are reported to be on offer including, very unusually for London, Butty Bach from Wye Valley Brewery.
Sporting Page
6 Camera Place, Chelsea SW10 0BH
Rebuilt in 1974 as the Red Anchor on the site of the Odell Arms (1856-1971) and renamed in 1989, a vestige of the Victorian era remains in the salvaged Victorian lamp over the door of this pub in the back streets between the Fulham Road and the Embankment. Now part of the small London-based Food & Fuel chain, it has become a comfortable one bar gastropub with a friendly feel. Three handpumps offer a choice of real ales, often including some from London breweries. An interesting wine selection complements the food offering. Sporting themed prints and memorabilia adorn the walls. Keep an eye on the pub website for offers.
Chelsea Ram
32 Burnaby Street, Chelsea SW10 0PL
Built in 1887 as the Ashburnham Arms by the Royal Chelsea Brewery on a provisional licence which, unfortunately for the brewery, was not confirmed by the Middlesex licensing justices. The premises remained vacant until 1892 when it was occupied by the St John's Ashburnham Institute. It eventually became licensed in 1984 when it was bought by Young’s; it is located near the former Lots Road Power Station and Auction Rooms. Refurbished by Young's with a light and spacious gastro-pub ambience, it has not lost its original community atmosphere. The pub is split into a main bar area and a large dining room to the rear; there are distinctive arched windows with the Ram symbol etched in the glass. The staff show commitment to beer quality plus an emphasis on good food availability, including daily specials. The pub’s signature dish is Dorset lamb shank shepherd’s pie, slow cooked for 12 hours.
Lots Road Pub & Dining Rooms
114 Lots Road, Chelsea SW10 0RJ
As at April 2021 open for takeaway only. Modern gastro-pub. Very convenient for the Chelsea harbour complex and marina. The Sunday menu includes a roast.
Hollywood Arms
45 Hollywood Road, Chelsea SW10 9HX
Up-market side street local built in 1865 (1856 notice on pub’s front is wrong) probably by the Godwins according to Pevsner, although the local council gives the builders as Corbett & McClymont. Grade II listed building. Now an elegant, airy modern style pub following recent "refurbishment"; but at least the refurb left some etched and cut glass at the front of the pub. At the back of the pub, the tabloid press has reported a "secret entrance" used by VIPs! Fresh & seasonal food is prepared in-house daily and includes Sunday roasts. For events see pub website.
Kings Arms
190 Fulham Road, Chelsea SW10 9PN
Striking combination of old and new. Built in 1861 by Bayswater builder Edwin Curtis; not a listed building but it has remarkable interior tilework and typical Geronimo "shabby-chic" decor.
Goat
333 Fulham Road, Chelsea SW10 9QL
Italian-style restaurant "Dine" on ground floor, with upstairs cocktail bar "Drink" serving some draught beers but no real ale. Weekday opening is subject to bookings received.
Fox & Pheasant
1 Billing Road, Chelsea SW10 9UJ
Under new ownership (so saved from possible redevelopment) and sensitively refurbished and extended during a fifteen month closure, the Fox & Pheasant re-opened in late June 2018, welcoming back drinkers and diners to a quintessentially British and charmingly vibrant country pub on the Chelsea-Fulham border. The two original bars were restored to their original appearance; an olive tree-filled conservatory (with a retractable roof for summer) was added at the rear; and, on the second floor, a secluded, wood-panelled private dining room that seats up to 22 was created. Once inside, you could be excused for thinking that you were in a rural setting instead of just a few yards from the busy Fulham Road and close to Chelsea football ground! You enter a small lobby with an off-sales hatch to the servery and doors to the former public bar, to the left, and the larger saloon bar on the right. The interior is a typical modest pub-fitting from between the wars, now quite rare, albeit more comfortably furnished for the twenty-first century. Built in the late 1840s, at the same time as the canal-worker cottages beyond it, the pub has an unusual curved section dividing the frontage, believed to have resulted from litigation concerning the line of the road. Originally the Prince of Wales, by 1861 it had been renamed the Bedford Arms, then to become the Fox & Pheasant in about 1965. It was licensed as simply a beer house until as late as 1953. Now it offers three real ales which change from time to time; a small range of keg and bottled beers and ciders; and a well-selected wine list and the inevitable cocktails. Whilst the pub still firmly caters for drinkers, for those who wish to eat the pub’s dining experience claims to champion British produce and to be founded on seasonal, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, all under the care of a Gordon Ramsay-trained head chef. Whilst the kitchen has a break in the late afternoon (except on Sundays), bar snacks are available all day and include classics such as scotch eggs and sausage rolls, alongside more original dishes like buttermilk fried rabbit or sticky pork tacos. Note that the pub is in a gated private road which contrives with the double-yellow lines on the adjacent public highway to make parking nearby very difficult. If you choose to get here via West Brompton station, there is an interesting "rural route" south through the Victorian cemetery (which closes an hour or so before dusk).
Cross Keys
1 Lawrence Street, Chelsea SW3 5NB
Following one of the hardest-fought battles in London to save a pub from developers and with, at one point, squatters in the pub, a long lease on the ground floor and basement of the building was granted by Parsons Green Land to the the DM Group, who, following an extensive refit, as most original fittings were destroyed, reopened the pub in 2015. In April 2017, the pub's freehold, plus the DM Group itself (along with their interests in the Brown Cow and Sands End food-led pubs in nearby Fulham) were reported to have been acquired by Cirrus Inns. Today's Cross Keys is primarily a gastropub, but, as well as the tables laid for diners at the rear, there is plenty of space at the front of the pub for drinkers. The decor is dominated by bare brick walls, some half-height panelled and others decorated with stripped pre-used wooden doors and large wooden shutters (said to be from a Portuguese asylum!). The back wall is cleverly mirrored to reflect light from the skylight above. As well as bar stools at a plain oak bar, there is a mixture of types of dining tables and chairs. As well as a full menu at meal times, bar snacks, including Scotch eggs, sausage rolls and Welsh rarebit, are available all day. Prices reflect the location.

Caffe Concerto
52 Kings Road, Chelsea SW3 4UD
This cafe/bar is part of a largish chain around central London, and although it appears as just a normal cafe from the outside, inside there is a bar to stand at and have a draught Peroni beer. NB under the terms of the licence alcohol cannot be sold before 10am; or 10.30am Sunday.
