The Crown in Kensington and Chelsea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely modest ‘proper’ pub! Visited on a Saturday when everywhere else on the main track was packed, this place was quiet and accommodating. Reasonably priced food and drinks, friendly staff. We had the Thai food, delicious. Would recommend.

About my check inn just now today; Racist and discriminatory behaviour threatening her supervisor with putting her hands on me. I have been pushed by the waitress she is not allowed to touch me, and laughing when I am trying to explain I want to make early check out. The chef has no respect for the supervisor around 8 times told her she is gonna put her hands on me shaking. I would like to seek legal advice because definitely is a social problem being bullied by the chef requested not to accept my booking because I said its not funny when they are laughing clearly at me (chef and waitress) just now. I am trying to get in touch with the local police. Explaining I am coming from the hospital to the supervisor. And told me first is the head manager in and then forgot my early check in request. Really if you are tired of your job or you just go there to earn a piece of bread better the owner get new stuff and well trained stuff... Is pathetic Coming from the hospital with a life threatening injury (not visible) and getting threatened by the" chef " so many times and pushed by the waitress, for no reason. I hope they not being racist because I have suffered racism in the past and I know how it is like coming from black women. This two girls going that way. Anyways I am a whole woman and it does not bother me I would never understand how can you discriminate people for no reason. Just for not laughing with you . This is a hospitality place to have rest in the morning time... no common sense I hope I get an answer from the head management. Thanks

My first visit there,my wife and daughter have been there many times,the staff are welcoming and polite,the food was absolutely brilliant as a former cook I was impressed with the quality, quantity and freshness of the food i would willingly paid double for the food,as it is really good value for money,keep up the good work .

Low-key pub on a quiet street with great food and good assortment of regulars. Just far enough from the crowds around South Kensington station.

My local when working in Chelsea for 8 years and still go back. Friendly staff, great Thai Cuisine and pub food. Unfortunately, the food has gotten worse since the change in the owner. I wish I had not even ordering any food before the kitchen was shut. I asked for a Red Thai chicken curry, and it was anaemic with barely any colour 👀🤬 more like a watery pale pink! Barmaid was rude to my friend and I and performing a stop clock ⏰️ of 5 minutes. I brought two friends down for Karoake from Hampshire and Shoreditch and they were not impressed with the food. Cheesy chips were not that good and the fish and chips was mediocre. Hardly any mushy peas. Spring rolls are not as good as before a few years back. Red Thai red curry was shocking. Not happy 😒 the only positive was seeing my friends and Karoake night!!! £40 for nothing 😑 should have eaten before I came

Popped in for a drink and stayed for dinner. Great value. Hubby had bangers & mash and I had red Thai curry. Both meals were excellent.

Conveniently situated for a half before an out patient's appointment, and perhaps more after....

An excellent pub, friendly staff and the Thai food was excellent and great value.. a must visit for a pint and a meal!!

A great pub and superb Thai Food. Loved the whole vibe and the value at this pub is unbeatable. Great staff! Well worth a visit!

Bartender and crowd are homophobic

We wanted to go to a pub near our hotel and found the crown and really enjoyed it. Loved the drinks and my bangers and mash.

Big notice to say lunch special till 3pm. Reached before 3pm and was told kitchen is closed. Chef was walking out !!

Favourite for lunch, take out ,after work drinks and food . Tasty thia and other dishes

Not regular Kensington vibes, just pleasant.

Good pub. Reasonable prices considering the location!

Probably one of the best pie and mash in London! Didn't have to wait long for food and great beers on tap. Would come again

Quiet place to eat and drink. Excellent atention.

Had the green curry and it was great. The fish and chips were quite good too. Was exactly what we needed.

One of the few proper pubs remaining in this area, warm welcome, ultra fast service and friendly staff, the landlord Charlie has maintained standards on this little un-gentrified oasis. Seats and tables outside with heating for any smokers.

Delicious steak in a friendly and British environment

Small pub in its own right, a little refreshment would be welcome… The welcome and the service are correct, the beers are good and at the right price. On the food side it's average, the fish and chips were too greasy and lacked flavor... A big effort in the kitchen is desirable to recommend this pub...

Probably the most unpretentious pub in Chelsea? The kind of place you'd go and enjoy once you've run out of other options in the area. They serve an excellent Guiness. In addition to the advertised Thai menu, they also serve a steak pie with chips, and generic paininis.

Nice little bar,reasonably price beer, friendly and polite helpful staff, there is also very reasonably priced menu,we went there for the first time last week,I had a couple of beers with my wife,the staff were really friendly,we decided to have lunch, we had the platter for 2,I had the Thai red curry, my wife had the pad Thai,I was impressed with the way they presented the food, and we were very pleased with our orders, we visited the Crown again this week for lunch, I would highly recommend a visit for a drink and a meal.

We had really good thai food (english food is available), lovely helpful staff, friendly atmosphere and superb value for money!

Food was great, good portions and the meat in the pie was lovely. My pink gin was really flavoursome too and I will be getting it for home. Even my fussy sister loved it so that's saying something.

Lovely little pub with great tasting food at great prices. We had an appointment at the hospital next door so this was very convenient. Happy bar man and waiter. I had and amazing Prawn Pad Thai. My father is Gluten Free so he only had a Jacket Potato with Beans. They lose a fifth star but only for a l of gluten free things on the menu, the Jacket itself was lovely. X

Just stopped in for a quick beer, so can't really give it more stars.

Vanwegen de warmte lekker buiten Thais Gegeten was overheerlijk goede bediening 👍

Traditional pub with good value drinks for the area.

Ah ha, a proper pub, right next to the royal Brompton hospital. Great hospitality, lovely beer, both cask and keg. Recommend for a beer anytime.

This pub is my favorite in the area. If you want to go meet locals in Chelsea and put back a few, this is the place. Fish n Chips are great.

🚇 South Kensington 🍺 £6.15 Heineken ❤️ A cosy traditional Chelsea boozer. . Nestled on a corner, in the shadow of the Royal Brompton and Royal Marsden hospitals you’ll find The Crown pub. The nearest tube is South Kensington. . This Freehouse was built mid nineteenth century and is one of only a few old school pubs left in Chelsea. . This is a cosy pub which is traditionally decorated with an eclectic mix of wall colours, full marks given for the proper pub carpet. The servery, counter and back bar are all solid dark wood with some nice ornate touches. The pumps were covered in menus which I wasn’t a fan of. In the bar area, seating is limited to a couple of poser tables plus a few stools around some ledges. There are tables and chairs out front if you fancy a imbibing alfresco. At the back of the bar is a dining area which didn’t feel in keeping with the rest of the pub but was bright and airy. . The beer line up was good and included Doom bar on hand pump. I opted for a pint of Heineken, my pint was lively and hit the spot, price point was average for London. The food here is a mix of traditional pub grub plus a popular Thai menu. . I arrived mid-afternoon on a Sunday and the atmosphere was fairly chilled with the exception of a table of six fellas who had been right on it the night before, nice bunch of lads. Then in comes a middle aged woman who ordered a large wine and was on to the next one in no time at all. She proceeded over to the table of lads and started asking them loads of questions about what they’d been up to, then next minute she was gone. . The Crown is a charming little pub which has a few frayed edges which is what I loved about the place. Because of the pubs size, you immediately feel involved in what is going on here. The beer was good and the Thai food draws in the punters. I really enjoyed visiting here, definitely one for the traditionalists. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 26.03.23

Good little pub. Bit bigger on the inside than it seems from the outside. Has a couple of outdoor tables. Service was good. Unfortunately the kitchen opening times posted at their front door are incorrect, kitchen was closed when we visited, shame as we were looking for a feed and wouldnt have ordered beers if we knew we couldn't eat. They need to update that.

Filling meals, made with love at a great price. Enjoy while listening to 70s bangers with fizzy pints.

Nice little pub in the neighbourhood. I was visiting and met some friends that live in the area. .

Tasty and well priced food for the location. Good deals on spirits would definetly go again. A rarity to have a pub of this calibre in a location full of over priced modern bars

Nice little pub food really well priced and I would say hard to beat on price and quality even outside of London I got charge for from £20 and that was with a pint of soft drink

Tasteful food and great service.

Very Small pub tucked away in a back street behind the Royal Marsden Hospital. Small bar area and rear eating fir pub and amazing value Thai food, nothing flash but great quality. Outside seating with heaters although only a few spaces.

Great place to meet local friends Good staff and governor

Very quiet when we arrived but circa 4.30 on a Sunday and they were still doing food. Thai Green curry was amazing and very good value, my party Pad Thai was also superb.. . Cheesy chips on the side for our grandson toddler and everyone was happy ( his cheesy chips went down well with everyone).. Hard to find a good value pub this close to central London.

Great little pub. Had a green Thai curry which was excellent. Sat in rear dining room which is nice and bright thanks to roof windows.

Best pub in Chelsea and best prices. New chef too and the food is great - though we’ve always loved the Thai too! We love Charlie - thanks for always being awesome ✌🏻 xx

A strange little pub/Thai restaurant/cafe. I went at lunchtime for a drink only. It wasn't busy. First impression was that it was a badly run bar. When I asked the barman if they had WiFi he said he didn't know. He didn't offer to find out. No atmosphere and very poor customer service. It needs to decide whether it's a restaurant/cafe or a pub and the concentrate on its decision.

Best pub food I had in London. I was quite surprised. Lovely steak with chips, salad and veggies + a pint for 20 pounds. Waitress was the nicest. Definitely recommend it.

A small, friendly, local pub with one real ale. Excellent friendly staff.

Authentic Thai food, very tasty and fresh for an excellent price. I had the Pad Nammun Hoy and it was delicious with a generous portion of prawns

Great pub very friendly locals as well

Had a good pint. What more do you need.

Nice pub with good value drinks and food, especially given that it's located in an expensive neighbourhood.

Good night had a good sing song with my brother in law

Outside the pub they have a notice board clearly offering double spirits for £5.80 and when you order they charge you £11 When I asked why the difference, the young man said “ that’s the house g@t “ No transparency or customer service , and very little presentation ( see pic ) As a customer service trainer myself , small details mean a great deal to the customer and this establishment fell short of the mark

Never trust a business that can't get something as simple as its opening hours right and inconveniences people.

Details say its open it 11 Sundays but refused entry and said it opens at 12. Lost our service

How amazing Thai food, high quality Asia cuisine, reasonable prices of set lunch, staff was friendly, be back again

Great place excellent beer and food

Great pub, conveniently next to the hospital. Makes treatment alot easier to deal with lol

Amazing Thai food and very reasonable prices. Delicious and served fresh, hot and timely.

Nice place and friendly bar staff, love the karaoke 🎤

Great place, nice neighbourhood, warm, friendly and welcoming staff and delicious dishes.

First time visit, went with the Thai, quickly delivered and very tasty...

In an area full of pretentious ‘wine bars’ how good it was to come across a proper ‘pub’. Good reasonably priced food and beer.

Excellent Thai food, friendly staff. Great menu. Had a lovely family meal yesterday.

Amazing service here and brilliant atmosphere

Very average food , plate overflowing with "side salad" consisting of shredded carrots and cabbage. Unappetizing jacket potato and whole plate swimming in baked beans and salad !The presentation was very poor and due to this left most of it. Disappointing simple lunch order.

Great pub usually though new barman tonight and he seemed to have a problem with my mate. However, despite him, decent enough prices, good food and great atmosphere as usual.

Lovely and friendly place to have a drink 😀

Very good pub great staff good service

Chilled pub with outdoor seating and heating

Great friendly little locals pub.Perfect to lazy the afternoon away.

Stopped in here for a quick bite before going to Royal Marsden Hospital. Nice pub, good food & helpful staff!

Excellent place for a few pints. Comfortable and friendly vibe. Well worth your time if you want a neighborhood feeling pub.

The place had a bit of a weird feeling. Limited selection of mainstream beers, average food offered at prices that equate those of more homemade places. There are better places in that area.

Very friendly staff food great value

Good value for money and nice staff

Great atmosphere, traditional and unique

Friendly, but dated and extremely poor selection of drinks.

Excellent service and food frendly staff

Welcoming barman. Local pub atmosphere

Good food and drinks. Strange interior.

Traditional pub in Chelsea. We only stopped for a quick pint. Pretty homey.

Fish and chips were good. Prices were good. Bartender was kind. What more do you want?

Great food good selection of beer

Excellent choices of good at great prices

Inexpensive quiet (on a Sunday at least). Had the steak and chips which were very edible.

Cheap food usual overpriced beer. Food not that great but cheapish.

Haven't eaten here in a while so can't review the food but a friendly pubs.

Way too expensive for drinks and snacks even for London 🤣 Handy being just behind the Brompton though 🙂 🍻

An unusually down to earth pub in a part of London where it's hard to find them.

Highly recommendable if u visit Royal Marsden Hosp. Very good English Thai cuisine. Value for money.

Nice small place. Good food and nice people

Friendly pub tucked away behind the Fulham Road. A good pub for a refuel if you're shopping and exploring the area. South Kensington tube is walkable from here as is Sloane Square.

Absolutely disgusting chips were soaked in grease looked like days old from a chippy must have been frozen. All the food was greasy plate was covered in it. Never again and travelling to hospital appointment then trying to eat this. Greasy spoon food is cooked with less grease And for the price it’s a rip off left it all.

Nice food good beer and lovely staff! Good enough to spend a good time in this pub!

Nice Cosy place, very friendly stuff, nice selection of drinks, beer on tap and bar snacks, as well as a Thai menu. Why 3 stars you ask? I can't believe places that serve such a low class, super processed meat still exist. A 90s lifeless, color less burger, with zero taste, and to top it some tasteless cheese as well. Unbelievable disappointment :( I even asked before ordering - is the burger good and was answer yes, not sure why, there is no shame in saying it's not or just removing it from the menu, or just doing decent burgers, it's really not that hard.

Good place to meet on the Fulham Road with the feel of a proper pub. The pub snacks were good.

I like the restaurant he had nice thai food really nice and have nice service Good luck king crown 👍🏼

This is a nice little pub, does a decent pint of Guinness. Service was friendly. There is some outdoor seating and heaters. I did not try the food , but it smelled good.

A real find small quaint friendly pub. Great for Lunch or a quick drink on the way home in the evening. Fab staff. Old school trained which really shows indicident of a time when the customer comes first. 🥂🍹🍻❤️

A surprisingly normal pub in South Kensington, reasonably priced as well
