Chelsea Potter

Caught in a rainstorm without a brolly I decided to grab a pub lunch in the Kings Road classic, The Chelsea Potter.

I'd mainly recommend this pub as a place for a rare un-gentrified typical pub pit stop on the Kings Road. It's pretty rough and ready but it feels more like a normal pub than many of the spruced up charmess modern versions that have grown like an unappetizing rash over London.

I had a nervous moment looking at the menu to see if I had half a chance of grabbing a bite here rather than returning into the rain-storm. I was pleased to see a prawn thai curry to go with my pint of bitter. I declined to have chips instead of rice and persevered. Actually, perfectly edible and even, dare I say it quite tasty. Not a bad old pit stop to know about. I also noted that the pub was full of fellow diners - I'm unsure if this was a typical Sunday or whether it was rain induced. For a rough and ready pub lunch, I'd be back.

Pub, cafe or juice bar, quite a novel idea but most assuredly a pub.

Well set up with a great atmosphere, sports TV, food and refreshments, smoking/seating area, did not check for a compendium of games and newspapers but I am sure they are there if you look!

Bang in the center of the King's Road shopping area, what more could you want for, short pants and cowboy boots...don't turn around, she just walked in.
