Anglesea Arms in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nice place to spend a Friday night, just look out for the David Bautista lookalike, you might not notice him if he stands very still.

we both ordered fish and chips with mushy peas. The fish was under cooked as it wasnt white. cod should be pure white. The batter was like a piece of wet rag only tougher. The peas were something our of a horror story, no way did those taste like any peas l have had in 80 years, even at an outside fair taste better, so goodness But l sure as hell know they wasnt peas . The whole meal at a charge of 83.42GBP and 46GBP of that was for the fish. I told the waitress that if l started at the other end of the fish, which by the way was yellow l would have demanded my money back and the so called chef need to be got rid of. But we were tired, been at the hospital for hours and we were both hungry. Wish we had gone elsewhere

Perfect Sunday lunch spot, great selection of beers and exquisite wine list. Team is very attentive will definitely be back

After our visit to the V & A we wanted a nice place to eat away from the busy area … looking at reviews for The Anglesea Arms we booked !!!! So pleased we did , what a find …. Great staff, excellent food and the wine list was fantastic!! We sat out side in their cozy terrace….. sheer bliss! Definitely going back next time we are in London.

Ohhhh it was such a great time here , I had the best Sunday breakfast in here, the waitress was so nice and she had a smile all through our services

Went there with Family for Sunday roast. One of the best beef roast what I had so far. Big choose of beers and very friendly staff Highly recommend this place.

A wonderful pub of a simpler time; magnificent ambiance and a combination of delectable traditional food and exemplary service make The Anglesea Arms a pub of the highest class.

Fantastic location, warm atmosphere,and great outdoor space.

Always a good vibe for a pint. They have the big football matches on! The terrace is a nice bonus on sunny days.

Nice atmosphere. Average food. Terrible service.

An interesting experience. We were staying locally and wanted a nice meal out. Read the reviews and thought ok let’s go. What we actually found was that we there was no room for us in the are we had booked due to the football (that’s fine, but don’t then take bookings) We ended up in the “dining room” which was more like a dingy basement. Hardly appealing squashed in between a door and the wall. They then added a discretionary service charge without even asking All in all I wouldn’t go back or recommend The food whilst fairly tasty was more like a child’s portion. We had a burger each. Not quite a gastropub though.

We went to watch the Euro game but couldn’t see the tv that well because there was a high top table sitting between us and the tv and there was a light fixture right in front of the tv. So not very good in that aspect. The food was pretty good and the drinks were good too. We got the fish and chips, pesto gnocchi, and beef roast with horseradish sauce. For drinks we got a neck oil shandy and Pimms cups.

Excellent English atmosphere. Good food. Professional service. To advice

Really good pub, the food is really good (clearly better than the other pub around South Kensington station). Great moment in family. Very typical !

Amazing food, great atmosphere and great service. Lots of good beer too! I’ll definitely be back soon

Great service and value for money. The staff were helpful and professional

Good food, good quality and well cooked. Always busy in the evenings and great atmosphere.

Monday night early supper. This place is welcoming and dog friendly. The staff are polite and professional. I tried a plant based chicken burger which failed to convert me to desert meat. It also did not tempt me to repeat the order. My wife had a lovely piece of fish which looked good.

Average place with average food at typical Chelsea prices.

Proper English Pub. Fish and chips was the best we’d had over 10 days in London. Great experience for kids and adults. Atmosphere was brilliant.

I recently visited The Anglesea Arms and loved the vibrant atmosphere, and particularly the charming outdoor seating area which is perfect for al fresco dining. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

£42 for Beef Wellington and all the pastry was raw and inedible. The rest of the food was mostly bland. The servers were very kind and attentive which elevates this from a one star review.

Classic British menu. Roast beef and lamb chops practically raw..... Bad value for money

Unbelievably bad sole. Was it defrosted? Didn’t test fresh; couldn’t eat it. Burgers were good, staff were charming and atmosphere great. Just awful fish! Such a shame.

No options for non-smoking seating outside. Lots of people out in the good weather but loads of people smoking which isn’t great if you’re there for food.

We visited The Anglesea arms first time in January and we were surprised by the venue. Definitely an upscale pub that feels more like a restaurant. We decided to comeback and it did not disappointed. Its pricey as everything in the area. but its definitely worth it as the service and food were great. Our server was really polite and the food tasted great. It is definitely the place to lookout in South Kensington. Scallops and wellington are the one to try!

Best fish and chips in South Kensington. Big option of any kind of wine. Definitely will come back with friends again. Highly recommend this place for food.

Unfortunately the price didn’t match the quality of some of the food this time, but it is a great menu. It may just have been an off day!

This is a beautiful pub, located in a fantastic area. The food is good but the attitude makes you uncomfortable. I booked a table at the bar for some drinks and nibbles at 5:00 pm. The bar is terribly loud so it is hard to hold a conversation. The waiters forgot our orders multiple times. I ordered two double gin and tonics and when the first arrived it was barely a single, I ignored it and ordered a second one and I am still wondering if there was any gin in the glass. After about an hour, it was clear that the waiters wanted us out, they repeatedly came to ask if we were done. They took everything away without truly asking if we were done, including our napkins, the final drops of my gin and tonic and some of the unfinished food. Granted, the place was busy and others could have used the table, but why couldn't they tell us from the beginning that we had to leave by a certain time? This is what my booking said: Bar • Table for 3 on Friday, 17 May 2024 at 17:00. You book a table and unless told, you expect to be able to stay as long as you want. So, at the end all I can say is that I was meeting some friends after not seeing them for 6 years, I chose a place that was highly recommended because I truly wanted a pleasant evening and the only conclusion I can draw is that I was annoyed and uncomfortable at the Anglesea Arms ... but, that being said, it was wonderful to see my friends again!

Great place for fish and chips, and a perfect poured pint! Their dining area is perfect for a date night with the cosy fire running in the back of the room

Very good food. Good choices. A bit cramped if in wrong spot.

Yuk. Ripoff! We ate dinner here and urge you to avoid this restaurant. The worst restaurant in London. The service was poor, taking 40 minutes to get our meal, the wait staff ignored us, and the fish we ordered was by far the worst ever. It was a whole fish, consisting of bones with a thin layer of fish meat that was bland. We had to scrape off a topping put on the fish in order to get to the bones. Top it off with our overpriced entrees and we felt ripped off, especially when a 9.2% service charge was added to the bill.

This was our second visit, and a poorer experience than the first. Service wasn't great. Servers seemed inexperienced and a bit disorganized. Most tables were empty, so I don't think they were overworked. Scallop starter was excellent, fish and chips was very good as usual. Sole was nicely cooked but the sauce was too much and just overwhelmed the fish. Something lighter would work better. Disappointed that nothing with broccoli was available, as that left just a bunch of starchy sides. None of the desserts appealed so didn't try.

Nice local spot in London. Very efficient operation. Just a nice place.

Fantastic atmosphere, lots of people enjoying themselves on the terrace Friendly waitress. Delicious Beef Wellington. Wine could have been a bit colder.

Beautiful typical English style restaurant in the residential area of ​​Kensington. The dishes were delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful

Great place for Sunday lunch with family, service was amazing even place was busy servers are very friendly and attentive will definitely return

Just a great find for when I’m at the Royal Lancaster

Have only been living in London a few months now but have been to the Anglesea Arm's a couple times already. A great Sunday roast and Saturday dinner à la carte menu.

Classic pub, good beer but a little too crowded for my personal tastes.

Pub very busy with all nationalities, very pleasant atmosphere and not so closed

It’s such a dreadful experience; it seemed that this restaurant would chase you away even if you just arrive a few minutes earlier. We were first half an hour earlier and we were very unpleasantly instructed to wait outside for a while (very cold and rainy weather), and that the table would be ready around 8. So we acted accordingly, thinking only 15 minutes and we went back again. There are two tables empty but we were still instructed this time to wait at the bar. Honestly, this practice of rather keeping the table empty and not letting me and my friend to sit there even for a while, is really peculiar and I could not help but thinking what would happen if we were a group of white men. Would we still get such punishments of having to wait outside in the rainy weather for early arrival? The owner really should take some actions to avoid any potential of racism and bring the service to a coherent level. Anyway, the advice is that if you are uncertain whether you would be treated with service you deserve, DON’T GO because you won’t (what a pity).

The staff was attentive and the food was delicious

Beautiful pub, great service and food. Highly recommend.

Love this pub. Food always great. Service not always great. I always come here when in the neighbourhood.

First time in London and my friend took me to try the Sunday Roast! The only English dish I knew was Fish and Chips and this new plate was definitely a surprise, considering that UK cousine is quite limited. The meat was very good, the sider was a Yorkshire Puddin- which is a salty bread along with some vegetables. Staff was friendly, the pub had posh vibes, which I felt in Gossip Girl London version and prices were fair (considering how insanely expensive London is). Definitely recommend!

The traditional British Sunday roast, beautifully prepared and efficiently served in a charming historic pub. You will not be disappointed .

Fantastic food especially the buffalo wings were just perfect. The service was excellent the person behind the bar was a really nice person. By and large a Tip Top joint!

Disappointed unfortunately. It’s a loverly little pub in a quiet and friendly part of London but falls short of the two rosette award. I have to admit we didn’t eat the main course but the mac and cheese I believe came out of the microwave, was way over cooked, completely dry had no taste of cheese. The fries were frozen heated up. In saying that a lot of people were eating and seemed to be enjoying their food. Waited 15 minutes for my pint of peroni which didn’t come so changed it to Ashai what was most disappointing was that after spending easily 200 pound, I order a drink at 9:55 only to be asked to leave by security due to closing at 10. Staff were uninterested and not knowledgeable except for one female member of staff whi was loverly and helpful but let down by her team. I wouldn’t go back again

Outstanding Sunday Roast! We saw this pub on Taste of London, with Edward Delling Williams and it did not disappoint!

Amazing sunday roast, delicius beef and sticky toffee. Service was great too. We will definitely be back!

Very slow service. The beef was overcooked. I was expecting to have pink in the middle but it was too much hard to eat

I’m 19. A regular here since I live round the corner . Been here loads with my mates all 18-20 and had no issues . So today I walked in for a pint and ordered a pint of Timothy Taylor’s . They didn’t ID me at first which I thought was strange so I made a joke about it with the bar staff. She then asked me how old I am and I said 19 and all of a sudden she said we don’t serve under 21. Which I never heard before. I thought she was joking so I asked a lady who was I’m guessing the supervisor and she said that too. And there was a Brazilian guy off shift who told me that you can’t work for Greene king unless you are over 21😂 man I died inside because I’m a bar staff and Bag ‘o nails in Victoria . Anyways just letting you know that some people trolling in this once decent pub

Their service there was so good their food is so nice

Disappointed We were here for Sunday lunch. No more was gone we had the chicken and it was the worse chicken I have ever had. Dry as a bone. Service was just OK. I think it is overrated and will not be back

A lovely atmosphere with a great Sunday roast. I popped in by myself late this Sunday. The Bar was quite busy, and the dining area was full, but the staff managed to find me a little table to myself and offered table service in the bar area which was greatly appreciated as I was by myself. The duck terrine starter was really tasty, and the roast pork was fantastic. I finished off with a delicious sticky toffee pudding. The service from all the staff was great whilst I was there, I really appreciated the quality of the food, despite the fact that I was probably the last dining table on a busy Mother's day service. I would recommend popping in to the Anglesea if you're in the area

Actually, I came for the roast with my kids and my son made the booking,I must say the service was so good and the girl that attended to us was very calm with my kids and nice, her name is Marie or Mary if I can remember, and my kids love her service too. Me and my kids had a lovely Sunday at your pub, We can't wait to come there next time when we are in South Kensington

Completely let down by the dry and tasteless chicken at Sunday lunch. I have had better chicken at KFC. They had no more beef so we had no choice

We booked a table for 6:15 pm on a Sunday to enjoy a traditional roast dinner. When we arrived and were given a menu, we saw that all but one choice was no longer available. There were at least 4 other choices on the website menu. We had 2 different servers, a young woman who was extremely pleasant, and a young man who was a bit snarky. In any event, we ordered the one available roast entree, the porchetta, and it came quickly. The food was good and included roast potatoes, a roasted carrot and Yorkshire pudding. We declined dessert and the young woman presented us with the check and I paid it. Just as we were exiting, the young male waiter literally accosted us at the door, and in front of the entire room accused us of not paying our bill. I was completely embarrassed and insulted. I explained that we had paid the bill, when the young woman showed up and explained that the charge had not gone through properly, which was not my fault. I cannot recall being treated so shabbily. Instead of accusing us of not paying, perhaps he could have politely mentioned that the card reader didn’t work. The young woman apologized profusely, she was really quite excellent, but I still had to walk back in to the room and resubmit my card. Not once did a manager come to offer an apology.

The roast chicken was dry and they were out of beef roast. The service would good but food was disappointing

Booked in for Mother’s Day lunch, good start in terms of lovely location and flowers for mothers upon arrival. However, we were waiting over 30 minutes for our roasts after we finished our starters and children’s dishes. We raised with service staff and they said our mains would be with us in 3/4 minutes. We fed back to the assistant manager that we had to wait a long time for our mains, especially as they were Sunday roasts (which should not take that long to prepare), and other tables which had arrived later seemed to have received their mains, and our young children were getting restless. His response was that it was busy, and ‘food takes time to cook’, which was an incredibly patronising way to treat your customers. We left without having dessert, and on our way out, the assistant manager told us there was actually a technical issue which was why our food took so long, and only arrived because we chased up. There was a half hearted apology regarding the technical issue, but none for how we were treated and made to feel like we were complaining for no reason, or any attempt to rectify the situation. The above average food and service of the other staff meant this wasn’t a complete disaster, but we certainly won’t be returning.

Been a regular at Anglesea for 10+ years and I’m there pretty much every weekend. It’s an institution and the food and atmosphere are always so nice that it makes you forget the slow service of the place (on busy nights, it can take up to half an hour queue just to get a beer). However the management should become aware and address the behaviour of one of the waitresses (the girl with the long bob and tied blonde hair) — she is the rudest person in hospitality I’ve ever seen. She keeps ignoring customers (especially if women), she is unfriendly, grumpy, looks annoyed every time you try to order anything. It's such a disgrace that every time I tried to order anything from this girl she looked down on me and said “not now, I’m busy” and always disappeared — it happens every single time and I’ve now learnt that for some reasons she just doesn’t want to speak either with me of my friends. How weird.

Just had a lovely Sunday roast at the Anglesea arms. Food, service & atmosphere was fantastic. Served food on a Sunday evening unlike most of the local pubs whose kitchens had closed

Great good, again! Also a great pub and great service!

Excellent food and service. Good choice of beers No dogs allowed in the restaurant area which is a wonderful thing for food hygiene - I’d give it an extra star for this if I could

The food was amazing and it is a lovely pub with a separate dining area.

Fantastic dinner experience, will definitely be back. Thank you!

There are two seating areas, one was a quieter dining room with charming decor and atmosphere, the other more lively like a bar scene. We were seated in the dining room and it was wonderful.

We visited London for the weekend. I really fancied a roast dinner and the food here did not disappoint. The beef was pink just how I like it , and the cauliflower cheese was a scrumptious. I Would definitely dine here again.

Splendid pub and good value; friendly service and personable patrons

Tiny individual Wellington more like a fillet steak pasty with too much pastry. Menu read well and has unfulfilled ambition.

I went here with my kids early on Sunday for a Sunday Roast, I can't fault the place. Food awesome, great service and lovely pub. I'll be back, maybe without the kids :)

Amazing food, typical pub atmosphere, great service, lovely place!

I liked it except the fact that 12.5% service charge was automatically added to the bill. I was about to leave a tip but because it was assumed I did not. Poor.

Nice pub with good dining room. Not too pricey. Seemed to be full of French people.

Nice pub and outside terrace. Serves T.T. Landlord, one of my favourite ales. Nice dining room at the back. I had the pork chop, mash and cabbage. Really enjoyed it. The service was good too. Good choice of wines and fairly priced.

Great service and food, awesome vibes as well and in a great location

Security are doing fantastic job keeping everyone safe specially Walid and Ahmad

We were the only table seated for lunch so it felt like a private dining room. Lovely decor and a gas fire in the fireplace. Food and service were both really good. Would definitely go again and recommend to others.

Really enjoy this pub. The food is the best around. The issue is the service gets a little frustrating as the bus people don’t do anything but pick up dishes and drop off food so if you ask for another drink they do nothing. They act like they’re getting you a drink but nope just kidding. Weird but other than that it’s my favorite!

Horrid- don't go. Too busy. Aggressive and weird bouncers.

Great place fantastic. Food well worth a visit

Everything was ok. I would have just like staff to be more welcoming and check in on us more.

Lovely food, service and bit slow and patchy, pub side was very busy and noisy.

Lovely cosy pub. Staff pleasant. However since you asked-,the food was just about warm- roasties were boiled potatoes-no crunch etc. no salt and pepper on table, had to ask twice, arrived halfway thru meal. No offer of sauces- we asked passing waitress for ketchup but none appeared. When we had pudding no spoons or forks given,,again, had to ask twice .

Interesting menu with good value dishes. Delicious starters - both the deer and the scallops. I would recommend the Beef Wellington although my wife found the pork a little on the dry side. The staff were friendly and attentive. Nice winter ambiance with an open fire and traditional English pub feel. We drank good English beer throughout the meal. Staff friendly and attentive.

Lovely food . Had the roast dinner the only negative was the beef was really tough. Everything else was delicious and the sticky toffee pudding was yummy

A lovely ambience. We booked a table for dinner, 6pm, and although the menu was not fully available, we did understand as the roast options would have been eaten earlier in the day, being a Sunday. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and we would definitely recommend a visit and hope we can return on another visit to London.

Rude bar tender! Would never be there sadly.

Great service from the main server. He was quick and attentive.

Very busy pub inside & out, but the dining room was lovely, clean & organised with a real fire to keep everyone warm! Our food was hot & tasty & the service outstanding. My only grip would be the toilets as they had water on the floor around one loo & toilet paper all over the floor! Not what I was expecting from such a lovely place.

As always great experience. It is worth coming back just for their Baked Camembert - honestly it is best I’ve tried in London. Servers are always friendly and welcoming

After a delay waiting for our table we were seated in the back dining room which had a roaring fire. Went for Sunday roast - the roast porchetta was really good! Then had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert! Will definitely be going back!

Great pub spot with a more restaurant feel inside. Great buzzing atmosphere on a Sunday and the food was excellent quality. Super cosy and fantastic quality.

Pricey to say the least ....of course nothing to the locals .....😂 on £500 an hour. Ok one pint of real ale a half pint of Guinness a White wine and Gin and Soda.........£36??? Maybe that is London prices?

Meat platter excellent. Fish and chips was disappointing. Not the usual lovely big crunchy battered portion. But a flaccid square piece that was over cooked at too low a temperature. I suspect it may have been frozen. Small portion of chips. But beer. Timothy Taylor on tap was superb. Service excellent. But too many noisy children for me. But people will breed I suppose … entitled young folk are oblivious to the sound of their own little dahlings… best boozer in the area during the week.

Charming and authentic quiet pub perfect to discover English food! We had a lovely time!

We made reservations for dinner for a group of four and were seated in in the bar section. It was extremely loud. It would be fine for drinks. If you want dinner with a group, make sure you’re seated in the back dining room. Otherwise, it’s a great restaurant with a good pub atmosphere

We had an enjoyable afternoon in the Anglesey arms, the atmosphere in the pub areas was lovely but a bit quiet in the dinning area, in fairness it was 4pm. The food was good but the menu was fairly limited. Would recommend

Un pub traditionnel de très grande qualité. Service extrêmement professionnel et attentionné. Grand choix de bières. Ambiance old style, très cosy et confortable. Prix honnête pour le quartier (mais quand même élevé). Si vous ne devez faire qu'un seul pub, c'est une bonne adresse. Je recommande chaleureusement.
