Smart pub, lots of exposed brickwork. Suits the area perfectly. Another choice of ale would be fab.

It’s a shame that the current head waiter is so obnoxious as I’m quite fond of the Cross Keys and have been a regular for several years. I went in today at 5pm and asked if my family and I could sit at a table for drinks. I was told that we could not as the tables were for dining only. When I said we could order food, I was told the kitchen was closed until 6. I asked if we could have drinks until the kitchen opened, and he said we could not as the staff needs to set up the (empty) tables and “polish the cutlery”. His tone throughout was unwelcoming and curt. Wound up going to the new Chelsea

Great pub, very popular but a bit pricey. 1 sausage roll sliced into 4 with a little ketchup.is £5.20, plus service charge, 3 scallops and one slice of black pudding set on a tablespoon of pea puree £14, again plus the 12.5% service charge. Set against that, the staff are very obliging, there was no rush to get us out of the door for a second service, and the overheads are probably stratospheric. Historic pubs need our support so make the most of a wonderful pub set in a secluded street just a couple of hundred yards away from the Kings Rd.

Great dinner last night, Friday, Fish, Falafel, and Chicken Burgers. Lots of choice and fantastic standard of food. The service is really friendly, and the setting spacious and welcoming. We love this place either for food or just drinks.

Bad atmosphere and uninterested service. Table we were told to sit at was collapsing underneath so could not put legs under. Person at the bar had to complain about a dirty glass for her new glass of wine. After ten minutes of no service despite it being empty we gave up and left. Went to the Surprise which was great.

Amazing gastropub in Chelsea with a great atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff and amazing food. I've been there a few times over the past years and they absolutely never disappoint. Everything is delicious and they over deliver even when it's a simple recipe. The wine list is great and with great options too. I personally like the dishes with truffles as ingredients but even the good old scotch egg at the Cross Keys tastes so good! If you're going for the first time, make sure you ask for Sam and she will make you feel like a regular in a heartbeat! Great place, honestly. I just love it.

Had a nice Saturday night dinner.
First up service was 5*. There was a slight issue with one of the dishes (bit cold). No questions asked not even a question of reheating, out came a new one 5 minutes later. Equally good service at the bar as well.
Overall though food, it was fine but nothing super special for the price. Not a huge selection of veg options either.
Good atmosphere, wine options could have been a bit more interesting. Desert was hood.
£180 for 4 people. Start , mains shared desert and a fewcbottles of wine
