• Gastro Pub • Chelsea

Booked 15 times today

The Fox & Pheasant is a little “country” pub tucked away in a small corner of Chelsea. The pub was founded in 1846 and it began its life as the Bedford Arms. Ten years later it changed to the Prince of Wales and in 1965 became The Fox & Pheasant and we have no intention of changing its name again!Not only are we a snug pub in the winter with 3 fire places, a dartboard and dog biscuits for the well behaved companions (dogs)! We are lucky enough to be able to wind back our roof in the conservatory for those long summer lunches to. Alongside our a la carte menu we have a bar snack menu that not only runs all day, everyday but also contains such pub classics. Roasts run all day on a Sunday and we guarantee to make sure you will always have ample spuds, gravy and yorkies!

First time visiting both London and the Gaucho in 10 years; brought some friends for a birthday celebration. I ordered the Lomo (which was cooked to perfection, medium rare) with bearnaise, a side of chips and two scoops of some of the richest ice cream I’ve ever had for dessert. Our server topped off the evening for us by surprising the man of the hour with a special celebratory cheesecake complete with birthday wishes spelled out in chocolate drizzle. An extraordinarily delightful experience at the Gaucho just like I remember all those years ago that I’d happily recommend to anyone, any time!
