Yes it is a little upmarket and Sloaney but at the same time it really is very good. A large imposing pub, a central horseshoe bar in gleaming polished condition, wooden floors, and possibly the most extensive range of seating possible from benches to traditional chair and table through to formal dining and then armchairs and sofas. Decor includes old brewery photos and beer adverts from the UK and overseas. The Dolls and Pistols signs for the F/M toilets are a little odd/naff though. Although ostensibly one main space, the feel and decor changes as you move around giving the impression of seperate rooms. As for the beer, well on handpump there was Pride, Harveys Sussex, Black Sheep Bitter, Cottage Golden Arrow, Adnams Broadside,Abbeydale Last Rites...11%...I didn't chance this one, and from the USA, Sierra Nevada Brown Ale. The couple I had were in very good nick and full pints too. There are other speciality beers including Anchor Steam Beer and Merry Christmas, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from the USA and Duvel Green, Winter de Koninck and Greenwich Meantime Chocolate also on draught. The fridges contain a good range of Belgian bottles with the appropriate glasses available to serve them in. The bar was very busy and most tables taken but refreshingly the place was very well and efficientely staffed so no waiting. The food looked very good also. Highly recommended, but I'd avoid Chelsea home games, as the place will be packed.
