Given that it’s somewhat adrift of Chelsea and Fulham’s main drinking hotbeds, on the southern flank of Brompton Cemetery, we hope this revitalised boozer doesn’t end up as a bit of a graveyard. ‘Cold beer and a warm heart’ promises a neon sign in the window, and the Pensioner is aimed at locals rather than Saturday’s out-of-town casuals en route to watch Mourinho’s men at nearby Stamford Bridge. Those who do make it all the way to the Royal Borough’s western limit will find cheerful pick-and-mix retro decor, Meantime ales on tap, Prosecco at £15, sub-£3 spirits and mixers during extended happy hours – plus cocktails such as Rob Roy and Daiquiri, affordable flatbread pizzas, a pool table and a rear courtyard. Live music, quizzes, film nights and comedy turns are also promised.
