The Restaurant

The Cadogan Arms is unique, reflecting its heritage and location, but founded on the core values and principles - Sustainability, provenance, seasonality and traceability shines through, with each venue putting our producers as the stars of our offering.

Always striving to be the best local restaurant in the area we occupy, we will always cook from fresh.

We have James Knappett, of two Michelin-star Kitchen Table in Fitzrovia who is our culinary director, which is a sign of how important the food is taken at our pubs and that shows with both appearances at the Michelin Guide, and in the World Top 50 Gastropubs in 2023. Our beverage program is led by Colin Maher, focusing on perfect pours of Guinness, rotating Cask-ale selections and hyper-seasonal in-house cocktails, alongside a considered and extensive wine list. We are aiming to create a food and drink offering which celebrates British produce and the return of community driven, neighbourhood dining.
