Royal Court Bar in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent discovery in overpriced Sloane Square lovely relaxed atmosphere with great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Very friendly and efficient staff made it a good place to eat before theatre just upstairs. Highly recommended it.

the royal court persist in their vegan, no meat philosophy - hopefully a new chef will review the menu and change this. Half the food is fried - which is not healthy and fake beef and chicken doesn't really add to green credentials. I was amused to see someone bringing their own fruit to get something healthy. the wine list is not good - it appears to include pinot noir and merlot - but the pinot noir is merlot? needs a lot of work

Waitress didn’t know what she was doing didn’t understand English Even I ordered fries she gave me a burger instead I said I ordered fries Manager was know where in sight I have been here to your restaurant a couple times This waitress should not have a job because she clearly does not belong at this restaurant

Lunch was delicious and very healthy. The price was reasonable and service excellent. Would go again.

Th food was OK (though it is a challenging menu for fish & meat eaters!), but the service was poor. Drinks seemed to sit on the bar waiting and we attempted to attract attention to order a pudding but was told at 7.10pm the kitchen was closed because of a 7.30pm performance. It wasn’t as f they were busy, it was deserted! Bog dissapointment.

Great staff very efficient and personable in a busy space with thronging bar. Food was good, though we just had the simple burger option well presented and reasonably priced.

What an amazing experience 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Would definitely do this again great food, surroundings, & helpful staff. I also got custard with my rum cake what a touch✨✨and met Eddie Izzard whilst shopping 🛍 Keep up the fabulous work Craig & Shaun your destined for greater things in your lives 🙏🏽😘

Starters were good, however could smell rice burning from the kitchen. Curry goat was too salty. Rice was hard. Green leaves on plate, no dressing. Jerk chicken was terrible. Dunns river sauce under skin was excessive. Rice & peas was bland. So disappointed as we were there to celebrate a special birthday. Won’t be visiting again.

So pleased to have found this lovely cafe/bar. Gorgeous food and great service. Profits going to the theatre is a bonus. We'll be back. 😊

If you want to see some of the newest and best theatre the royal court is a must and the Bar & Kitchen is also a great shout for your pre theatre dinner. Nice space, welcoming staff. and a short walk up the stairs to your seat for the performance

My friends and I adore this place. Reminds us of the King’s Road in the 80s. Chic, jolly, amazing value with a terrific buzz

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food on the menu. I am not a vegan, but I do enjoy vegan food (there was a good choice on the menu), In this case I opted for the non-vegan ploughmans (ham & cheddar) which was very nice. My wife chose the non-vegan mezze board (it had dairy, but no meat), which was also really nice. Friendly staff too. We would be happy to eat there again.

I eat here a lot & was glad to get back there now theatre’s happening. There’s a new menu. The vegan cheeseburger & the chicken burger are super nice. Good side salad & chips. Prices still really reasonable & Bar & Kitchen staff are lovely.

Have just written a great review of the theatre on the principal Tripadvisor site in which I mentioned that I felt there were too many vegan options (and not enough meat) on the menu. You have a great bar with a real buzz and lovely people. I was just disappoined not be able to indulge my carnivorous predilection. I did try the vegan burger. It was edible but - to me - had an unpleasantly slippery, slimy texture. Personal taste I know, and everything else was lovely - so thanks!

We had the mezze board and there was plenty for two of us. It was fresh and delicious. Sadly we don’t have room for dessert after that!

I used to love eating at the Royal Court but now the only meat available is a ploughman's. Burgers, sausage rolls and "chicken" are all vegan and the only fish is fish fingers. Very disappointing

Excellent vegan hot dogs and fries, good drink selection and good friendly and efficient service - lovely buzzy atmosphere and not expensive. What more do you want? All good !

Beats all the top priced highly publicised bars, cafes and meeting spots in Chelsea. Wonderful atmosphere, and not noisey. Staff a delight. Just dore this venue.

Great lunch in the vaults under Sloane Sqaure. Great premises and lovely ambience. Staff were very good, giving great delivery on a busy service. The wine list is excellent- all wines supplied by Berry Brithers of St James.

I had no idea there was such a large bar underneath the theatre - what a great find! Friendly staff and well priced food and wine - might even be good for a quick bite during non-theater evenings when other places in Sloane Square are...

Very accommodating staff,we asked for a table where we could watch people.No worries there.Had decided to have baked camembert,no regrets! Lovely ! Thank you crew,to handle that bunch of students,obstructing the way,in such a graceful and gentle manner!

Not a proper meal in sight. Snacks available at best and not that good either. If you can't even offer a burger or sausage and mash or something wholesome then why not say so!

Dinner before the show. I'm veggie so I object to the only vegan options as there's still meat on there.... How about only veggie and vegan options? Still, the mezze plate was really good, too much for one probably. I managed🙄 Service is always lovely...

Plays at theatre great but house wine super poor. Can afford to improve this as left with bad taste when watching play. 2 x house wine plus 2 standard packet of crisps at £17.50?? So it’s Sloane Square no excuse

Loved sitting in Sloane Square before going to an evening of song at the Royal Court. Food was delicious and the staff were absolutely wonderful! Thank you for such a great evening.

Love the Royal Court cafe and assumed the outside bit would be similar, if not the same. A bit of a surprise to discover that no food is available here at lunchtime; just drinks and olives or nuts. Disappointing as I had arranged to meet...

Fab staff, super friendly and welcoming. I had a great cocktail. It was easy booking and getting seated. Could have done with a few more serving staff would be my only quibble. Covid safety all good. Thank you!

I visited this weekend. We arrived a little late, but the friendly staff said that wasn't a problem and seated us promptly. It was then hard to catch the attention of the staff as there were far too many tables for them to cover. Again,...

A nice relaxed atmosphere. We visited on Saturday and enjoyed the feel of it so returned on the bank holiday. I want to visit at night as I'm sure it will be cosy with the lighting they have around the trees. Staff really pleasant and...

Brilliant set up, wonderful atmosphere and really friendly & efficient service! Can’t wait to be back and bring friends.

Love this place and that it's outside again this year! Great drink choices and excellent staff, will be back for sure

The manager was really helpful and nice. Great spot to go for drinks, nice location and lively atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it.

We had a lovely evening at the Court bar - friendly service, great selection of drinks, sensible layout, and access to a loo - what more can you ask for?! Will be back again!

Wonderful to have some again in Chelsea. Great to be supporting the Royal Court theatre, who have suffered such a loss of income during the pandemic. Feels good to know our wining and dining is going to a good cause.

Went down on Saturday with some friends and had a brilliant time. The new stall looks amazing and is Al Fresco drinking at it's best. The team where lovely, helpful and service was quick. I believe it is support the theatre as well so DEFINITELY...

Two of us had dinner before the play. We sat in a lovely quieter area of the restaurant, the food was delicious with a lot of choice for vegetarians. We had a main course and drinks for two which was very reasonably priced. I usually...

The best thing about this restaurant is that it is at the Royal Court theatre and therefore super-convenient for pre-show meals. Especiaily on a very wet evening! We both ordered the cheese burger with fries, which came quite quickly but the whole meal was lukewarm....

Simple, high-quality food. I had a vegan burger which was delicious and my friends had pulled-pork and regular burgers which they said were great. Very reasonably priced, great (but busy!) atmosphere and excellent service.

Simple, good menu. Selection of dishes to suit everyone. Service very quick and polite- just what you need before watching a show.

The staff was pleasant, the food was good and the prices were very reasonable considering the location.

Excellent food and fantastic service. What’s most surprising is just how friendly everyone was. As a solo customer it was very refreshing. Food was delicious - vegan burger and sweet potato fries.

Food Menu a bit limiting and not very exciting. Taste was acceptable but nothing to write home about.

We had pre theatre dinner on a mon night. I’m vegetarian and was also looking for a low carbohydrate meal. The menu at the restaurant is interesting and unusual with salads like palm hearts and seaweed so I give it 5 stars for innovative menu,...

Had a delicious fish pie - and nice wine - and could relax knowing we wouldn't have to rush to our seats for the play. Friendly helpful staff.

It isn't often you come across a theatre restaurant that is so brilliant. Service was quick and friendly. Food was extremely tasty. The kitchen and waiting staff had no problem at all adapting to dietary requirements. As someone who doesn't get out to the theatre...

Very speedy service which makes it great for a pre-theatre meal. Nice craft beers selection as well.

Charming service and really good food. A lovely buzzy atmosphere too. Perfect either if you are going on to a performance which we were, or even if you are not. Thoroughly recommended and will visit again.

Easy to book Comfortable corner Lovely waitress Delicious hors d'oeuvres to share and a whole bottle of scrumptious red wine (more than I wanted to be hinest) We would do it again whenever we could Makes a great night out at the theatre

Loved sitting in the quieter bay so we could all hear each other comfortably. Attentive but not intrusive waiting staff . A little disappointed by the limited choices for Coeliacs but the food ordered was excellent

The Royal Court Theatre is not to be missed. Everything I've seen there has been memorable. Book a table in the Bar and Kitchen for a very good pre theater meal. The menu is limited but everything is quite tasty. The soups are especially well...

This vibrant bar / restaurant is a good place to eat when the main show in the theatre has started. There are good standards such as Fish Pie and Burgers, good beer and wine, interesting architecture and of course friendly and helpful staff.

When you book for the dinner at the Royal Court you are asked if you are seeing a show and which one. Just after we finished our waiter told us the doors would open for our play in 10 minutes. There were two of us...

It’s tasty, quick and a fairly good variety on offer. Good for a pre-theatre fill-up but I probably wouldn’t seek it out as a dining destination if I wasn’t attending a performance. It gets very busy between 6pm - 7.30pm so booking is advisable.

Excellent service as always but finally after any requests a vegan or veggie burger. good wide choice menu. ideal finally for pre theatre.

Tasty food with generous portions. Best bargain around Sloane Square, an otherwise very expensive part of town.

Best risotto I've ever eaten ! How do I know? I didn't want it to end so stopped two- thirds of the way through and took a moment. A vegetarian dish and I'm not a veggie at the moment - though this would convert a...

Ordered the rissotto which was lovely and also a nice glass of white. Bar staff very friendly and recommended wine was delicious. Rounded off with a great play

Attended a matinee last Saturday and decided to eat prior to the 2.30 performance. The menu is quite Co prehensile and everything is prepared fresh in the kitchen. I'm having difficulties eating at the moment so pleased to have the soup which was lovely. My...

It was good value too. My fish pie was the tastiest I've ever had. Quick, friendly service. We booked food in the bar randomly. Very good choice it turned out.

Lovely venue need to book.Great selection of food and drink.4 * because I wanted more desert options

Had lunch before a matinee performance. Good choice on the menu and very reasonable. Vegan burger and pork were delicious. Good service. Returned after the play for a drink.

Have been to this place many times and it never disappoints. Fabulous choice of drinks, very tasty innovative foods to suit all tastes and efficient and delightful service. A favourite place to be for me.

Limited menu - very underwhelmed by the choice and the service. Convenient to be able to eat at the venue before seeing a play.

Very good food for all with extremely helpful staff. Food arrived in good time. Good atmosphere. We pre booked ‘ on line ‘ a table for 8 which was essential for 6 pm as it would have been difficult otherwise as it was very busy.

Really the only reason to visit this place is the convenience. The service was pleasant but clueless. Even for the price, the food was poor. Stone cold chips were sent back to the kitchen. The burger was overcooked and measly. The Royal Court has made...

Met colleague for a few coffees and a snack. The coffee's good, the atmosphere not really very good, very dark and basic.

I've visited the Royal Court Bar & Kitchen on a number of occasions within the past month, for pre-theatre snacks and coffee/drinks, just drinks or - if I was on my own - for my favourite post-show ritual of contemplating about a play over a...

My vegan burger was tasty enough, but my wife's fish pie was under-seasoned; the service was pleasant enough when it was available, but difficult to attract when they've got their backs to you and are too busy chatting to eachother. We felt a bit that...

The lively Bar & Kitchen in the basement of Royal Court Theatre has a great buzz and offers a good selection of food, ranging from snacks & nibbles to more substantial plates. Before the Caryl Churchill performance I enjoyed a deliciously flaky vegetarian roll and...

The vegan burger is delicious and the service is attentive yet relaxed. It's tough feeding a whole group of people with a theatre curtain deadline, but the staff deal with it all with patience and good humour. A relaxing atmosphere if you book a table...

Completely packed with hardly a space to stand. No sandwiches available and impossible to get food with queues etc. Cmpletely inadequate for the theatre and strangely geared to sit down food when there is so little space to sit.

Ate here yesterday before watching the fantastic show "The End of History". I had the Burrata salad with Figs & Walnuts (with a side dish of perfectly cooked Sweet Potato Fries). The Burrata was creamy and delicious with fresh figs. My friends had the Risotto...

Good pre-theatre meal with great service. We really enjoyed the atmosphere in the bar/restaurant and the service was great. Smallish menu but decent - and most seemed to go for the Burger ... which says a lot about theatre goers lining their stomachs !! We...

We always have a meal at the Royal Court before watching a play. The food and service were excellent as always.

All excellent. Swift , delicious food, friendly service , wine as cold as it should be. Pre theatre cannot be bettered

Delicious and speedily-served food. Friendly and efficient staff. Buzzy atmosphere. Perfect start to our evening.

We had a meal at the Royal Court. It was quite nice, the service was very good, it was reasonably priced and excellently situated to get to the theatre in time for the play.

Very friendly staff, no stress, delicious burgers both traditional and vegan, well-priced wine list. Booking advisable.

Prompt friendly service Delicious vegetable mixed plate and fantastic dessert. Good choice of reasonable wine and I am sure mine was more than 175 ml!

Wonderful service and delicious food. We had the chicken main and the salmon and both were excellent - really well cooked and beautifully presented. The side of green beans was also crisp and delicious. Lovely selection of G and T's and wine.

We decided to take refreshment here before a play, for convenience. It was simple and quick to make the booking on the day, which was a Friday. The food and drink was good but nothing special. Table service for the food was pleasant but we...

Very good lunch. I had the panfried chicken and my friend chose the vegan burger, We both had the coconut tart, with ice cream, which was delicious, although it's more of a deep dessert slice than a tart. I like the atmosphere here - I've...

Although this restaurant is in the basement of the Royal Court Theatre, it’s open all afternoon and evening, and anyone can use it. And you should. It’s by far the best value in this expensive part of London. The menu is limited but what they...

I order a vegan burger and my cousin order the risotto; Unfortunately, what came out wasn't correct in that I got a beef burger; I hadn't checked and started to eat and thought it tasted quite realistic and then I realised it was beef. Fortunately...

We were pleased with the menu choices and also happy to to learn from your staff that drinks could be taken into the theatre if they were in plastic containers.

The staff were lovely and food arrived in good time. However, I ordered the tuna small plate and it was a complete rip off I’m sad to say. The same price as a main, £11.50 for a tiny bowl of chopped raw tuna with avocado,...

I eat here often and am never disappointed. The salmon was especially good, and lots for veggies and some for vegans. Great chips. Lovely staff.

The Royal Court Theatre is a great venue. They only do new work, and everything I have seen here has been great. It's a real treat to be able to eat in the theatre before the performance. The food is quite good, especially their daily...

It’s buzzing and the service is always good. Simple menu but served well and delicious. Well done and pre theatre particularly good as they know when we need to be away!

Still the best theatre restaurant in London. Excellent menu that is good value for money with excellent service.

The Royal Court theatre is brilliant in its own right and so is the Bar and Kitchen downstairs where one can imbibe and devour to one's heart's delight, occasionally amongst well-known faces of the theatre world. So what are you waiting for??

Good atmosphere to get a voucher for a cheese sharing platter and a bottle of wine. Nice room overlooking the square. Good selection of cheese and a choice of wine or Prosecco (we chose red wine). Good value.

Beats other London theatres hands down in respect of availability of drinks and food. Large bar & restaurant area catering for large numbers. Wide choice of drinks and good choice food menu. Sensible prices for central London

It was a busy night and the restaurant was packed with people so the service wasn’t as fast as I would have liked. Took awhile to get anyone’s attention. But the food was really good. We had the sharing platter with extra fired and it...

We booked a table for two for lunch. The food was delicious ( I found it hard to choose as everything looked good) very nice selection of wine too. The service was very friendly and efficient. It’s nice to enjoy a good meal and know...

This has to be the best theatre bar in town. Food is definitely worth getting there early for and the staff are all so friendly. There's nothing not to like!

We had a lovely supper followed by a great show. I messed up the booking - booked for 2 and there were three of us. Front of house very disgruntled and offhand. After that the team were excellent, the food very tasty and wines lovely...

It's usually heaving but we had a good table, attentive staff and really good food ( one carnivore, one veghead). Bottle of wine, right side of fifty quid. What's not to like? And then Stephen Rea for dessert. Perfect night out.

Ideal spot to have a pre show bite to eat. Good food and wine served promptly. Good customer service

Visited for a meal before going to the Cadogan Hall because it’s so close to the tube and the hall. Food good, service very friendly.
