The Coopers' Arms reviews
Highly recommended by a friend who makes it his local when in town. Good beer and one of the best steak and kidney pies I have had in a long time (generous quantities of kidney, good steak and excellent pastry), and the vegetables were also very well cooked. Good service may have been a result of the place being very quiet. If I could improve anything I would ask for a decent range of real ales rather than just Youngs.
by Cripplegate, 18 Oct 2007A great pub, interesting mixed clientele and friendly staff. The food is not what you may expect if you're looking for gastro but it's tasty and fresh. Stick with the homemade English dishes. I can't get enough of the steak and kidney pie and shepherds pie!
by sam.cousins, 09 Jul 2007I took 20 people for dinner on the top floor to watch the World Cup Final.
The food was great and the service was incredible!
They have a new manager and I am now an avid fan, in fact I think I will pop in for lunch!
Great pub to settle in to for the evening - a real favourite for a relaxed night out. Eat somewhere else though, as the gastropub prices belie the bland, straight-out-of-a-packet-tasting grub.
by Scubachica, 03 Feb 2006Really lovely atmosphere, with great food, and good service. I have eaten there regularly for the last 3 years and I have never had a bad meal there.
by monkeythings, 20 Jul 2005I love the place - reminds me of my lovely boyfriend. Who can want more from Chelsea? Anyway go to a restaurant to eat not a pub.
by Anonymous, 24 May 2005Having been before on numerous occasions I felt it was a safe suggestion for a boozy lunch with friends who are fleeing London for the sunny city of Edinburgh. The 6 of us ordered - the food arrived with in ten minutes - the sea bass was raw, Chicken wrapped in bacon was cold and my lamb steak was still breathing.
After sending the said food back I was told the lamb had to be rare as it is a tough cut of meat... cooking it further would increase the toughness. They generously offered me another main course as long as I payed half the cost of the lamb...
What can you do apart from make the decision to stick to a liquid lunch in future?
Have we missed a great gastro pub in London? Let us know.
