The Coopers Arms

Spent a pleasant relaxed Sunday afternoon here recently. Good bar service and reasonable range of youngs Bitter.

My boyfriend and I LOVE the Coopers which is one of the few traditional decent pubs left in Chelsea. He likes the English ale and I like good fizz by the glass. They are relaxed about dogs and our dog appreciates the opportunity to sniff about and meet other pampered pooches. The food is a bit hit and miss - I recently had delicious fish cakes which were marred by a curious sweet custardy sauce. But who cares about food when the atmosphere and other punters are so pleasant.

Despite the provision of food, this place resists the full "gastro pub " label and still qualifies as a a "good pub"

This useful little retreat has been undergoing some slight refurbishment and has recently received fresh coat of paint.Tucked away from the bustle of King's Rd Chelsea,it has a bubbly,relaxed atmosphere. Coupled with that it also has an interesting range of furnishings like a good sized tables and chairs-the chairs being very plush, a pre-war side-board and dresser,many LNER posters, a map of Chelsea and the River Thames on the wall and an enormous Railway clock.
The fire place is unique and decorated with dried flowers and a very tusky boar's head and tea-shop chandeliers.
The pub has a marvellous selection of Youg's Bitter,Special and Seasonal St Georges or Waggle Dance on the hand pumps,and there are 14 wines available by the glass.
Bar food includes soups at 4.50,grilled Goats Cheese and Red Pepper Crostini with wild rocket salad,and staples like bangers&mash or Fish & Chips at 8.50 and also chargrilled organic Chicken,Avocado and Bacon Salad for 8.95
