While the bar, serving a decent if unremarkable beer selection including Adnams and Flying Scotsman, is closest to the King’s Road action, a step down takes you to the hunting lodge-style dining room of this very west London branch of the ten-strong, east London-slanted ETM pub group. With fish sourced from Billingsgate, Cumbrian shorthorn beef steaks for two, provenance flagged up at every opportunity (this is not just asparagus; this is Norfolk asparagus) and the prerequisite retro bar snacks (black pudding scotch egg, fish fingers), the Cadogan ticks all the right boxes, but does nothing outstandingly different. The decor – leather seating and hunting trophies – is similar to other pubs in the group. The menu is meaty, though a goat’s cheese salad with popcorn-sweet candied walnuts, and a huge portion of tagliatelle with wild garlic and oddly chewy parmesan shavings were satisfying enough. ‘Essex’ ham hock did not appear to be glazed as stated and came with gravy rather than the advertised parsley sauce, making for a very salty dish. There were no specials available due to a function upstairs – which also explained the long wait times.

Fantastic bar atmosphere here, perfect for catching up with mates on the King's Road and for meeting people. Great food too, especially the selection of sliders at the bar or upstairs in the pool room. Highly recommended.

Some great reviews below which convinced me to give this place another chance. We went this afternoon for a late lunch, the food took 55 minutes to arrive during which time we were not checked on once by the waiting staff. Hardly worth the wait, cremated yorkshire puddings, dry and tasteless chicken and tough pork belly. The bill arrived with a 12% service charge included! Appalling service and below average food, we won't be back.

Nice atmosphere and staff. The food was good although my partridge was overcooked (dry). Price was reasonable and we will probably return. What did I like most? Their bread was AMAZING! The smell was great and it was light with crunchy sides. A dream... If a bakery in this country could do the same, it would be famous...

I was a bit nervous when my friends said we were going to the Cadogan Arms for a special birthday lunch last Saturday. I had read the reviews on this web site so did not hold high expectations. Wow was I surprised! We booked for 2 pm, by the time we got there ours was the only table empty. The place was full of people eating and drinking, there was a real buzz. The staff were really friendly and helpful, offering great suggestions for drinks and recommendations for food. The food was delicious! I had a wonderful octopus carpaccio starter and the salmon fillet I had for main course was to die for! Perfectly cooked, full of flavour and served with the perfect amount of vegetables to be filling but not too heavy, a fact that was much appreciated as it gave me space for my nectarine creme brulee (yum!) and mine wasn't the only nice meal, I think a small war may have broken out as we all tried to taste each others dinners - all were superb. The whole day was a treat. We ended up staying all afternoon drinking cocktails and celebrating. I will definitely be going back soon!

A frustratingly disappointing meal. Started was excellent, Arbroath Smokie, had a real depth of smokiness. Main course: fish and chips were probably the best I’ve had in London. Lamb leg steak and the plaice were both over cooked. Desert: cheese was slightly cold and didn’t come with the advertised oakcakes. Rocky road cherry desert was interesting but lacked any real flavour. A rare dud from Timeout.
