After extensive refurbishment, this pub finally reopened in July 2021 by a joint venture between JKS Partners and Dominic Jacobs, the man behind The Running Horse pub in Mayfair. Very much an upmarket foodie pub now and the menu includes sandwiches and Sunday roasts. Four cask ale handpumps feature up to three rotating semi-regulars and sometimes a guest ale. On keg there is Guinness and a cider plus another dozen or so lagers and other beers.
Dating back to the 17th century when it was the Rose and Crown and built shortly after the King’s Road became a public thoroughfare, the name was changed to the Cadogan in 1838 when it was rebuilt. The pub retains some interesting external architectural features: note the red pilaster surrounds with Corinthian capitals; the inside is beautiful but modern-build. Sister pub to the George in Fitzrovia and Hound in Chiswick. Winner of the CAMRA pub designs awards (refurbishment category) 2023 – "the restoration of the pub sought to recreate the lost early Georgian architectural details and ornate timber panelling of the original building."
