My dining companions were Michelle of Greedy Gourmet, Jeanne of Cook Sister, Johanna of The Passionate Cook and Solange of Pebble Soup.
When we sat down at 6pm, the room was understandably empty. It filled up and all tables were taken when we left at 9.30pm. Diners did look smart, you could tell this was a pub in Chelsea and not Hackney. Thankfully it was still quiet whilst we were in full food blogger paparazzi mode snapping the interior, appetisers and first course!

Fabulous review, I've never been there. Those garlic fries with mustard mayo look to die for.

Oh how fun, Sarah! 🙂 I love the name: "Cadogan Arms" and those Dauphinoise potatoes look absolutely glorious. 🙂

Bonjour Sarah,
SOunds like a great time out with your foodies blogger friends. How lucky! You do great food reviews, really well done.
On a side note, I enjoyed your 'bunker' post last Saturday, but could not get Blogger to post my comment. Ted looked like he had a blast!
Wishing you a fabulous weekend,
Mimi

Hehe it's so much easier to go into paparazzi mode when there aren't many people around isn't it! 😀 And some of those dishes really make me miss London food!
Jeanne @ CookSister! says
It was a lovely meal, all in all, wasn't it – I still dream of the Bearnaise sauce and the balsamic reduction!! Great (an very comprehensive!) write-up 🙂

Salivating at all that. Garlic fries looked especially nice.
I love that end of town. Could never afford Vivienne Westwood. But I used to spend many a happy hour browsing in Designers Guild, Rococo Chocolates, Couverture, Osborne & Little wallpaper…oh, those were the days.
Great review, Sarah.
Belgravia wife - sort of says
Hi Sarah – what a great stroke of luck to find you ! My blog is still an infant – I live very close to The Cadogan Arms – yes that's me with the tweed and the rifle ( not really ) and in all this time have never got around to going in !
I think I will – I am slightly alarmed by your write up of the loos ( I spent half my life in France, bit of a sore point…. ) but I will get over it and give it a try. Thanks. Terrific blog – I want the duck NOW ! xx
Sarah, Maison Cupcake says
@hh and @ramblingtart The menu was quite potato dominated but I'm not complaining about that!
@bonjourromance Glad you enjoyed the bunker post!
@lorraine Sounds like it's time you came for another visit?
@Jeanne It was lovely spending the evening with you ladies, must do it again
@deerbaby I must find picture of me in that t-shirt, I still have it but sadly it doesn't fit
@Belgraviawife Welcome! If you think my description of the loos is scary check out Greedy Gourmet blog where Michelle tells you what I was too chicken to write!!!
Gourmet Chick says
Looks delicious Sarah – I really like The Botanist which is run by the same people so I am sure I would love this place as well

Good review, Sarah, though it's a bit far away for me to take advantage of it. Lovely shots of the food too.
