Food & drink New York
This Chelsea corner pub keeps the drinks stop straightforward and sociable.
Peter McManus Cafe is a family-run Irish bar on a Chelsea corner, with a history dating to 1936. Food is part of the draw as well as the drinks, and the house burger features prominently in the pub’s own story.
Choose it for a straightforward meal and a sociable pause during a Chelsea evening. It fits a neighbourhood pub plan, with the bar itself carrying more of the occasion than a separate ticketed programme.
