The Builders Arms

Tucked away in the back streets of Chelsea, just off trendy Kings Road, this stylish three-storey Georgian pub was built by the same crew that constructed St Luke's church over the way. Inside, leather sofas dot the spacious informal bar area, where your can enjoy a pint of Bombardier. A brief, daily-changing menu offers a wide range of modern English food with a twist, but if further ideas are needed, consult the specials board and dine in the restaurant. Starters on the main menu might include fresh Portland crab and apple salad on toast; or prawn and avocado tian with Marie Rose sauce. Typical main courses are pan-fried bream fillet with warm Niçoise salad and soft poached egg; marmalade glazed duck leg, Savoy and potato cake, rhubarb purée. There are more than 30 bins, plus many wines by the glass. When the sun shines the outdoor terrace is highly popular.
