The Cadogan Arms
Voted in the UK's Top 50 Gastro Pubs The Cadogan Arms is a much-loved Chelsea institution, restored to its former glory with a renovation that pays homage to the public house’s two centuries spent serving the local community. Comprising a bustling ground floor bar, an opulent dining room, and downstairs space ‘The Rose Room’.
The location is headed up by Managing Director Dom Jacobs, with food by Culinary Director James Knappett. The menu at The Cadogan Arms focuses on simply prepared British produce, celebrating the provenance of locally sourced fish, meat, and fresh vegetables, as well as sharing roasts on Sunday. Drinks range from cocktails to a carefully curated wine list, and a comprehensive beer list which includes a bespoke British Pilsner from Cornwall’s Harbour Brewing, specially commissioned for The Cadogan Arms.
The George
The George is an 18th-century, Grade II listed public house on Great Portland Street, Fitzrovia. Spanning two floors, gilded Victorian mirrors, enamel paintings, and oak panelling remain unchanged, thanks to careful stewardship over the centuries. Large regency windows overlook the hustle and bustle of Great Portland Street, with original architectural details throughout and several private and semi-private spaces available for private hire.
Befitting of a modern London public house, the all-day dining menu features snacks and starters, ideal for sharing and best enjoyed with a pint, heartier dishes, including chops and steaks from the charcoal grill, sandwiches, and pub classics, and indulgent desserts such as the Sticky Toffee Pudding and Hot Chocolate Fudge Sundae Banana Split.
On the bar, house signatures include Guinness, Irish Whiskey and Irish Coffees, served alongside cask ales, craft beers, seasonal cocktails, and an extensive wine list
