Was slightly surprised by the prices in this pub. It's tucked away between the King's Road and the Fulham Road in an extremely respectable area. Yet it was my cheapest beer of the night. I only had a half. But I got change from £2. It's a small, corner pub that was fairly popular. Standing room was all that was remaining. Many were sat at tables under patio heaters at the front. The rugby and football had been shown earlier. 3 ales were on - Westerham British Bulldog, Sharps Doom Bar & Twickenham Naked Ladies. Plenty of tourist-types in here, to supplement the locals in the know. Certainly a place worth knowing about.

A bit of a hidden gem. Went in after the football, to a lively (occasionally menacing) crowd. Good Camden lager at not shocking prices though. Would def go back if in area.

Nice pub tucked away on a quiet street between the busy Fulham and Kings Roads. Wasn't suffering from a lack of trade with office workers and hospital staff enjoying a post-work drink. Four ales on tap - Marlow Rebellion, Landlord, Tribute and Doom Bar, each priced at �3.55. Friendly bar staff and we were even given a glass of wine to try for nothing. Varied food menu, dog friendly too, so the only thing to grumble about is price but that's to be expected given where in London the pub is located. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

A couple of visits over NY. Decent beers if not local! It was pretty quiet when we call in but looked like somewhere worth repeat visits.

Decent beer, nice enough inside and plenty of seats outside. I generally pop in as part of a little crawl and as such it's very pleasant, tho' I wouldn't fancy staying there for a sesh.

Good place to watch the Lions eat the Boks on Saturday, nice pint of Doom Bar for �3.15. Small and a bit crowded but OK and the staff were friendly.

Went there on several occasions last summer.
Good place for a drink outside, peaceful and nice.
Service always efficient, once the beer was not good and it was replaced immediately and with apologies (one expects that, but still...).

Pub itself was not my favourite, I found it pretty dark, uninviting and devoid of character; more a TV watching place than the cosy retirement a Chelsea pub should in my eyes be.

Good pre match meeting place. There are few enough around that side of Stamford Bridge these days with the Ifield, Finches and the Fulham Tup changing names and going up market and the Gunters Arms and Finborough closing.

This pub could be great. The atmosphere on footie nights is really good and there is a fair selection of beers and lager. Management ar friendly. On the downside the staff are pretty vacuous. Bearing in mind the price of drinks the staff should not be bargain basement. As a rule the barmaids hover over one area, forget the rest of the bar and have as much character as a paper cup. Having pretty-ish girls might seem the way to go to the landlord but what they need are staff who know their job.

Decent enough pub with good food. Only problem is clientele. Basically Trustafarians living off daddy's money who think a good night out is bottles of Bollinger followed by singing 'the school song' or hymns they used to sing at school. Personally not my idea of a laugh...

Perfectly good pub with decent food. Opens out onto the street and great to visit in the Summer. Very attractive and professional staff. Good place to watch sport with three screens but the place is quite small. Good selection of beers but if you're put off by "old school tie" types then this isn't for you.

good staff but very public school regulars - they'd be mortified if they knew it was listed here under Fulham and not Chelsea...
