    Our waiter was nice, however everything was beyond slow. Waiting almost an hour for food is unacceptable. It was not busy. Portion sizes, surprisingly small, and quality of food was unfortunately rather, erm suboptimal.

    Very authentic old style pub with lots of character. Food was very good. However, the reason I'm bothering to write the review is to complement two of the staff. Unfortunately I didn't get their names...but they were both young lads in early 20s. The barman and waiter serving us were extraordinarily friendly, courteous and polite. Both were a great asset to the pub, ensuring that our visit was a 5 star experience.

    Dear Guest, We are so glad that you enjoyed your experience in our Pub in Chelsea, Louis Junior and Louis Senior are definitely assets to the pub and we are super lucky to have them, we hope to see you soon.
