- 47 Hollywood Road, Chelsea
- Open since 1979, family operation
- British-European kitchen
- Known for wine at retail-plus pricing
Brinkley's has run on Hollywood Road since 1979 as John Brinkley's Chelsea local — the proposition being the European-British kitchen with a wine list priced at retail-plus rather than the usual three-times mark-up, which is the actual reason the regulars have stayed for forty-five years. The room is small, the garden at the back handles the summer, the menu is the version of British that does not pretend to be a gastropub.
Book the garden in summer for the lunch, take the steak and the house wine at the price you would pay for the bottle at Berry Bros. The dinner is the same proposition under candlelight.
The Chelsea local with the honest wine pricing.
