The Admiral Codrington in Kensington and Chelsea

A nice , original pub. The burger I had was descent , big and the beer amazing . Would go again and I recommend this pub to hang out and have your drink.

Considering it's in an expensive area of London ..it was very reasonable !

Great pub in Kensington. Shepherds pie was great, good beer and just what you’re looking for in a vibe for a chill English pub.

We had a nice lunch and Francisco was a great host. We didn't take any photos, but the other review photos look accurate.

So, fair warning, you're in Kensington, so everything is a little bit expensive. That said, £21.00 for 3 pints is pretty expensive, especially when one of those pints is just handed to you as a can which you pour into the glass yourself. The venue itself is nice, with a quieter atmosphere and a more relaxed vibe than the bars near the station, worth the ten minute walk so you can actually find a table.

We had an excellent experience! The fish and chips were delicious, but what really made our visit stand out was the exceptional service from our server, Francisco. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Lovely PUB food!!! Fish tacos is a must

Good cocktails, and amazing service from both Morgan and francesco! Personally love the scotch egg, pairs beautifully with a cheeky cocktail! Beautiful atmosphere will definitely come again.

Such a shame as it showed promise, but after buying a drink and ordering the Sunday Roast Beef, what arrived was very disappointing. The Yorkshire Pudding was not only flat, but uncooked and flat. The vegetables consisted of half a carrot and loads of carrot puree plus a couple of burnt ribbons of kale. And only two roast potatoes which I think had been deep fried. And then a smothering of gravy all served on a 9” plate, so not a tradition roast that it promises to be.

Great food and atmosphere! Highly recommended!

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food and Francisco was very attentive and kind to us.

Nice local bar/restaurant. It has delicious food and the staff is very friendly and kind! We had a wonderful time here all evening.

Had dinner and drinks here with a friend in between an event. We were served my Morgan and I can honestly say she is the best bar person I’ve ever come across in London. Kind, attentive and personable. The food was incredible and the little beer garden out the side is great on a warm afternoon. Great little pub!

Lovely pub with a homely atmosphere. I was served by Edgar and Nina who were both very professional and friendly. I have been to this pub a few times and the food has never disappointed either.

I loved the food, it was great and I will never forget the incredible night and I will be back soon with my friends! Hug!

Lovely pub! Great service, our waiter Francisco was the best! Had a fantastic steak and a delicious burger 10/10

Quiet place and very rich and tasty food. Francisco was very kind to us. 100% recommended.

The food was very good and the staff were very friendly Francisco was lovely with us and recommended places to visit, without a doubt if you want to eat a good fish and chips or a Sunday roast this is the best place

Admiral Codrington's fish and chips were highly recommended to us. I came in expecting them to be the same as any other in the UK. I was wrong. BEST FISH AND CHIPS in the country!! I do not like tartar sauce at all. Theirs looks different--more herbaceous. It was delicious!!!

The absolute best pub I've been to in London the fish & chips were the best I've ever had 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a pub with great food and even better drinks

Depressing. It used to be a great pub. Now very tired. A pub of my youth. Guess the change in the area has affected it. V expensive

My family and I came here after my grandma passing away, which they were so helpful, attentive and made us feel very important and supportive. We still come to this pub 9 years later with the same atmosphere. This place is amazing and so unique

Had a great time watching to football- staff were so lovely!

Local feel in the centre of London. Edgar was really great. Cocktails were quality. Old school feels! We will be back soon.

Great spot for dinner! Staff was very friendy. Tom looked after us very well and gave exceptional service. Will definitely be back!

Horrible place, horrible people. The food is nasty, don’t believe any of these reviews cos one membet the staff told me they were fake

Brilliant pub where Rock Stars sometimes go! Definitely going there again.

Celebrated my birthday here and Jorge and his team were absolutely incredible! Kind, attentive and overall perfect! Strongly recommend for anyone who’s thinking of celebrating a special occasion here.

Great place for a couple of pint after work.Posh fries are great and staff is awesome,special thanks to Jorge for being so nice with me and my friends.

We were particularly well received in this pub which has a pretty little terrace and above all a very good restaurant at the back, with nice benches. The Sunday roast, whether with pork or angus meat, was very good. Shrimp with curry and chili peppers too. The waitress Abby was good advice.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Great quality food and drink. And brilliant service by the bar staff in particular (Abi, Chisanga, Edgar)

Has gone massively downhill. Returned for first time post-Pandemic for Sunday lunch. The pub felt run-down, and not decorated since the early 2010s (I remember when it was newly decorated!) They were out of stock of many items, ranging from some starters through to diet soft drinks! My wife had the aubergine main course, which was undercooked and inedible. Pointed it out to the staff who shrugged. Roast beef was average, with decent meat but poor sides (e.g. roast potatoes were undercooked and not crispy)

Great food and fantastic service from Wez!

Jorge was such a great bartender and prepared an amazing margarita for us!! For sure coming back!

Very nice pub, such a great vibe. Best espresso martini in town. Jorge was the best waiter

Wez was amazing, excellent service and super friendly!

The best espresso martini in London prepared by Jorge! Very good atmosphere and special mention to Jorge!

Best espresso martini of London. Super bar to go with friends. Jorge súper bar man

Jorge, un amigo inesperado y muy abierto de mente. Volveremos a por los shots prometidos, palabra del estropajo! Uno de los mejores pubs de londres!!

Absolutely love the place. Came here with my dad and family a lot, it was his favourite pub when he lived in London. Friendly staff, amazing food, and all around a great place.

Great food and service was fantastic, reasonably priced. It’s just a shame it wasn’t busier on a Friday night as it deserves to be.

After work, I always hit up my local pub. The staff is very friendly and the food is great also. Their cocktails are fire, especially Jorge's espresso martini – seriously the bomb!

Amazing cocktails by Wez! Welcoming service by Chasanga and Jorge, excited for the live music!!

Came for Sunday dinner and was fantastic definitely recommend the service was quick and staff were really good! Enjoyed our afternoon here :)

Lovely place for a pint after work. Morgan and George are the best.

Great atmosphere, great service from Morgan. Best Guinness ever

Morgan is the best barmaid ever!!! Thank you for the wonderful service!

What a great pub good drink yes. Oh my god I love this place. Thank you Morgan for your attentive service.

Quiet pub with good beer and very nice food, what else do you need.

The highlight was the amazing service, hats off to Wez, a delightful and friendly young lady.

Great pub, with great food and friendly service

Best pub this side of the river. Chisandra is the best bar maid!!!

Lovely pub. Bit pricey, but really improved over the years, finally gotten rid of the smell of sewage the last few! Woohoo!

Food and staff were very good we the Sunday roast 😋 best we have had in a long time had good Bloody Mary 😋 well recommend 😀 👌

We had an amazing Sunday roast for lunch today. Definitely the best roast we’ve had in a long long while!! Staff were very attentive and we were made to feel most welcome. Will definitely be back for more.

I love that you were playing Grateful Dead when I came in 🥺

Amazing service from Pip, great cozy atmosphere. Awesome donuts for dessert.

Sunday lunch was good. Service made it better. Thanks to Wez for the friendly, attentive service.

A delicious Sunday lunch with family visiting from Poland- thoroughly enjoyed and recommended.

Really nice food and experience. Wez was very friendly and helpful.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time last week, our server George was attentive, friendly and helpful, I will definitely be going back 😊

Cosy atmosphere, good food and great service.

Best Guinness in town on a Friday because one person makes it the best.

Worse Mother’s Day ever Where to even start The fact we got seated with no menus or even asked to order a drink Within 30 mins was then asked what we want for desert all before getting a menu or drink Then waited an hour for our first (main) course to come Then after that given a dessert rejected from another table Then also not given cutlery again. So waited 30 mins for cutlery When said something to the waitress all she said was sorry I personally had to take it back to the kitchen and ask for another one as was melted and not with anyone elses order After another 30 mins then received everyone’s deserts Then they messed up the bill and added someone else’s coffees on the bill and still tried to add service charge. After receiving the worse service I have ever had Complete shame as the food was actually lovely Will not be back and won’t be recommending

Loved the baked camembert and the fish and chips was very nice

Live music was a nice touch, staff are always singing along and giggling. Thanks Abi and Wez

Such a lovely pub!! Amazing food, the friendliest staff and an overall great atmosphere!! Will definitely be back and will be recommending to all my friends and family!!

Very nice vibe there. Loved the food

The best place to go for a Friday pick me up!

I come here with work all the time. Great pub! The drinks are great and the bar staff are really friendly. We quite often use the function room upstairs and we have the food - it’s lovely. Highly recommend.

Such a great little find tucked away in Chelsea . Great food , friendly helpful staff all with a great atmosphere … will make this a Sunday tradition

Great food, service and atmosphere!

The beer is good and cold, the staff are lovely (special shout out to Abigail, Wez and George), I bring punters from a dance club there every fortnight and they are wonderfully accommodating of our shenanigans.

Atmosphere with the live music was great and our waitress Wez was a legend

Spent a pleasant couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon with a friend! Food was good, as was the service.

Very friendly atmosphere and, a great place to chill out. New managers have brought new energy to the place. well done!!!

Great pub with a close atmosphere and welcoming staff. Chisanga and Abi have my drinks orders committed to memory which is a plus.

Chisanga and Morgan were great!

Amazing staff, great food, all recommendations

Delicious food and lovely staff!!!

Great to come back to the pub, last visited 37-years ago! Great service by the lady from Zambia.

Fantastic traditional English pub with traditional service. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, always come for drinks after work and always welcomed with a smile

The bartenders are the best! Such wonderful people and always helpful and fun! Atmosphere is great you can meet cool people too!

The best roast in Chelsea! My first time in london and I’ll comeback for sure. Absolutely recommend to all my foodie friends.

I stopped by just for a bit and stayed longer as the service and food were lovely, totally recommend for afternoon/evening drinks after work

Great service and quick food! Staff were very helpful and ensured I had everything I needed. Would recommend!

I came here for fish and chips, as advertised on the menu. My wife and I picked a table, removed our outerwear, and sat down. The bartenders looked at us. When I went to the counter to order, I was told they didn't have food today (on a Wednesday). I feel they could have had a sign on the door or something. Therefore, I don't recommend it. The atmosphere and surroundings looked okay that was about all.

Had our work christmas lunch there went there 4 years ago , went again in december 2023 for another work christmas lunch. The staff was amazing. Service very good. Food too was very nice. Great atmosphere in the bar area. My only negative will be its smells very musky and in need of a good re-furb as very outdated and floor tiles in ladies toilet broken so one of the doors cannot close at all. I mean more or less wide open. 🤷. Unless refurbed, won't go back again.

Cozy place with perfect service, limited variation of beer but... neck oil on the tap

Well well, where do I start. If your looking for a great place, authentic, and just out right rich in English, then this is the spot or should I say The Pub you want to stop by. Best Fish & Chips in town; Thats all I need say. Enjoy! :)

Amazing pub tucked away between Kensington and Chelsea. Really friendly staff amazing food and a decent selection on tap. Work highly recommend the roast dinners and the veggie options do not disappoint.

Such a lovely space around south ken area. Really friendly staffs and reasonable food and tap prices for you to choose.

We held a small event here in the upstairs function room and it could not have been better. The staff were brilliant and nothing seemed too much trouble. I would certainly recommend the Admiral Codrington and thank you to everyone there on 7th October!

Great food, atmosphere and service, very enjoyable. Party of 10

Great pub in Chelsea. Good back patio area, although it can fill up pretty quick!

Had sausage and mash and daily pie with fries. Delicious.

The Admiral Codrington, a fine little pub tucked away on Mossop street in South Kensington. Unfortunately, struggling to deliver a bit, partly due to the building site across the road I suspect, also the cellar hatch not working and cordoned off with barriers. No cask ales today, although normally three on judging by the badges. Very pleasant staff to help with a drink. Look forward to editing my review soon.

Went for the sunday roast last Sunday. It was absolutely marvelous the meat was tender and all was well seasoned. The bloody Mary’s were extraordinary

🚇 South Kensington 🍺 £5.85 Heineken ❤️ A food focused traditional Chelsea pub. . The Admiral Codrington or “The Cod” as it is known locally is situated in a quiet side street in Chelsea. To get here by Tube use South Kensington, it’s an eight minute walk to get here. . This pub was originally built in 1830. Due to railway tunnelling between South Ken and Sloane Square, the pub was rebuilt in 1860. This boozer is named after the naval officer Edward Codrington who captained at the Battle of Trafalgar and later, as Vice Admiral defeated the Turks at Navarino in 1827. . The decor here has a bit of old school charm about it in and around the main bar area. At the back of the bar is the dining area with open kitchen. To the left of the pub is a cosy covered outside space. The whole overall feel of the place was not that of a Gastropub for which the pub is famed for. . The beer choice was straightforward with one cask option available. I ordered a pint of Heineken which was good and pleasingly under six quid. Food-wise, the pub prides itself on offering a modern take on beloved British classics, all prepared using fresh and locally-sourced ingredients. In 2022 this pub appeared in the UK Top 100 Gastropubs list. . I popped in here with my Daughter for a quick drink after visiting The Saatchi gallery to see the Beyond The Streets exhibition celebrating Graffiti and Hip Hop culture. We visited on a Sunday just after 6pm and it seemed we had missed the rush as the kitchen closed at 5pm. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed with a dozen or so punters in attendance. The calmness was offset to a soulful soundtrack which was a nice backdrop to the ambience. The service was good, the member of staff who served is was polite and efficient. . @theadcod was a nice visit, my Daughter and I enjoyed chilling out here and having a catch up. I like the decor as it wasn’t full of pastel colours and had an authentic pub feel. The beer was good and the food receives positive reviews. If you fancy somewhere away from the hustle and bustle in SW3, this pub will probably be right up your street. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 26.03.23
