the phene

really niceplaceto have brunch in chelsea if your friends are vegetarian and you're not.the menu gives options for meat lovers and vegetarians. service was a bit slow due to two big parties but the team was really nice and friendly and the food was great. there is also fake snow in the garden to keep you entertained while you wait. 
the pub is kids friendly on the weekend.

as a devoted east londoner, it's not often i find myself on the other side of town, but i was cordially invited over to chelsea for a friend's 30th, so it was a district line across town for me.

the phene is a lovely, welcoming, cosy pub.  very close to the kings road, but far away enough to be off the main drag, when i arrived on a saturday lunchtime theplacewas buzzing, with a mixed clientile of families, couples, glamazons and friends.  i ordered a g&t (hurrah for sipsmith & fever tree - two of the hallmarks of a pub that knows its gin!) and awaited my friends.

the restaurant looked lovely, but we dined upstairs in the private room, which was ideal for our party of twenty.  we were greeted with glasses of fizz and then whiled away the afternoon enjoying a three course meal full of flavoursome, tasty food.

i'd recommend the phene to anyone in the area for drinks or a meal - lovely place!

love thisplaceone of my favorite hangouts. beautiful garden with heaters and delicious cocktails. the staff are always friendly in here i come all the time. food is delicious pub grub and always well cooked.

i went here for a friend’s birthday meal. we took a taxi but i probably would not have found it if i was walking as it’s quite hidden. 

staff were extremely friendly and polite. we were seated immediately in a private dining area, as we had booked beforehand. the room itself was very clean and spacious and had bird paintings on the wall, which i thought was a nice touch.

i had the chicken schnitzel with mash, mushrooms and paprika sauce and it was perfect. everything was presented well, the chicken wasn’t dry and the mash was just phenomenal. i would recommend this dish, you wont be disappointed.

 

the outdoor seating area is very comfortable and has a very nice atmosphere during the evening. it’s perfect in the summer for drinks or dinner. the whole pub is vey clean, the décor is very modern yet makes the area look cosy.

it was slightly expensive, especially when you order a few drinks, however the cocktails were delightful, theplaceitself has a lovely atmosphere and service is exceptional, so i would definitely recommend this place.

located in the heart of chelsea, this pub is definitely a hidden gem! 

i had my birthday here last year and had the loveliest time. the waiters were extremely friendly and attentive, they greeted us promptly as we entered and was very accommodating throughout our entire meal, even giving our entire table complimentary bellinis and desserts! (the vanilla  panna cotta is to die for)

the food is always of high standards and very reasonably priced. furthermore they also offer a variety of healthy dishes which i felt is a nice touch for all the healthy food junkies out there! 

theplaceis decorated beautifully with quaint little private rooms avaliable for any kind of social gatherings. they also have a spacious outdoors area that is great for enjoying a drink or two on a warm summers day. the atmosphere is always very relaxed and laid-back, one of those places that is a perfect hang out after a hard days work. 

all in all, this is a lovely little pub in a great part of town. aplacei would definitely recommend to anyone!
