This local institution, commanding a fine corner site on a quietish back street between the Kings and Fulham Roads, is a smart but egalitarian place, as likely to attract staff from the numerous nearby hospitals as from the Chelsea Arts Club down the road. The sunny terrace is perfect for people watching, while indoors is dominated by shiny dark wood, mirrors, sporting prints and sparkling glassware. Doom Bar is the regular ask ale while the other handpumps might offer beers from Adnams, Cottage, Loddon, Sambrook’s, Twickenham, Weltons or Westerham. Meantime and Leffe are on keg, and there’s a few classic bottled choices like Anchor Steam, Goose Island Pale and Duvel. Food is hearty fare like home made pies (including a veggie option), haddock and chips and steak. Prices are highish, but offset by numerous deals, including a good value lunch option. If you’re looking for a quiet drink, this particular page might turn out to be a bit sporting on occasions – it lives up to its name when there are major sporting events on.

Insider tip. Sign up through the website to the pub’s “offer club” and you’ll be sent regular vouchers for money-off deals and freebies.
