Sunday lunch, late pm. Food tables quiet. Veg undercooked and tepid. Two insignificant sluces of Beef - v disappointing . Cauliflower cheese side order was good and yorkshire pudding homemade. Service team were pleasant. Won't return for food, but would go for a pint - very disappointing.

Food was not really hot enough. Meat was quite fatty and no proper crackling on the pork 🙁. Quite expensive for what it was!

Food was disappointing. The sunday roast was stingy although the Yorkshire pud was great. Staff were aloof for no reason. Not great hospitality and a distinct absence of locals at the bar. Way better when it was a Geronimo pub.

Our waiter was nice, however everything was beyond slow. Waiting almost an hour for food is unacceptable. It was not busy. Portion sizes, surprisingly small, and quality of food was unfortunately rather, erm suboptimal.

Hi Hitchem, I'm glad that you were pleased with the service and we appreciate your feedback on food and wait time , we would definitely discuss this with the chefs. Hopefully we can have another chance to rectify your experience. Thanks Builders Arms Chelsea Team
