Lots Road is a friendly, stylish Chelsea local with a menu specialising in seasonal pub classics and well-loved British favourites. Set in a distinctive crescent-shaped building, its muted blue facade and Georgian architecture will attract design-lovers, offering a glimpse of the period details to come within.
In the main bar area authentic wooden floors and huge original windows are juxtaposed with industrial lighting and minimalist furniture, creating a laid-back atmosphere. This is a great place to get friends together, enjoy a few drinks and dig into the food menu. The menu is broken up into small and large plates which can be treated like starters and mains, or order a bit of everything to share with the table.
Within the selection of small plates you'll find pomegranate, bulgur wheat and fennel herb salad with chicken and halloumi; hot smoked salmon scotch egg with curried fennel mayo; and white onion and cider soup with cheese croutons. Whilst highlights from the mains include grilled Cornish sea bream fillet with black olive tapenade and tabbouleh and the chef's pie of the day with seasonal greens and gravy.
For dessert, we wouldn't be able to resist trying the panna cotta with roasted figs and pistachios, or the sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce either, for that matter. And, if you like the sound of this menu so much that you'd like to organise a private dining event, the venue's 'Snug' is perfect for dinners of up to 40 people, held in a gorgeous teal-green space.
Sunday roasts are also a big thing at Lots Road, which claims it does the best in Chelsea. Every week you'll find options like slow roasted pork belly; half a roast rosemary and herb chicken' and a mixed vegetable turnover, alongside Yorkshire puds, roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy. To wash it down, the team suggest one of the house signature Bloody Marys, which are also great for blowing those hangover cobwebs away from Saturday night.
