The Chalk Freehouse is a quintessential London gastropub in the heart of Chelsea, offering the perfect setting for a relaxed private dinner.
The Chelsea pub is part of the Tom Kerridge group and headed up by chef Tom De Keyser, a longtime collaborator of Kerridge. With over a decade of Michelin-starred experience at sister restaurant The Hand and Flowers - Kerridge's two Michelin-starred gastropub in Marlow - Tom brings refined flair to classic British cooking
The Chalk Freehouse boasts a 10-person private dining room complete with wooden shelves, ambient lighting and a large oval dining table with studded leather seats. It's also possible to book a large group dinner in the main 60-cover dining area.
The two-storey Victorian property has been beautifully restored, blending the historical design of a British pub with modern and stylish interiors. Key features includes a custom hardwood bar, and a charming al fresco garden space, allowing diners to catch a bit of sun or linger with a late-night cocktail.
The a la carte menu offers a range of seasonal British dishes, putting contemporary twists on classic ideas. Guests can choose from a weekday set lunch menu or a la carte - the latter offering greater variety, as well as a range of snacks, like a nduja and smoked mozzarella sausage roll, and sides, like Chelsea spuds with green garlic butter. Starters include crispy lamb belly with aubergine hummus, or pink fir potato soup, while mains feature the signature ‘The Chalk’ boudin blanc with pork fat hash browns, or breaded ‘fish of the day’. Desserts include torched marshmallow with poached fruits and brown butter sponge, or Heckfield cheese with house chutney and fruit bread.
With its coveted location, sophisticated design and skillful cooking, The Chalk Freehouse is a standout destination for private dining in one of London’s most opulent neighbourhoods.
