At home in Little Chelsea.

At the heart of The Dolphin is our front bar, a relaxed neighbourhood pub serving well-kept pints from Brakspear and a carefully chosen selection of breweries, alongside a considered wine list.

Our kitchen serves modern British food with a focus on seasonal ingredients, from relaxed lunches and evening meals to Sunday roasts.
