Brinkley’s Chelsea is a long established neighbourhood restaurant at 47–49 Hollywood Road. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, with a covered garden whose roof can open in warm weather, pavement tables and a seasonal front terrace. Its broad contemporary European menu is designed for anything from a casual lunch or drink to dinner with friends and weekend celebrations.
Starters combine familiar ingredients with bright international accents. Chicken and vegetable gyozas come with black vinegar, while crispy brie croquettes are paired with fruit, walnuts and a lime maple dressing. Other choices can include spicy Korean chicken, sesame calamari, grilled tiger prawns with nduja, tuna tartare, yellowtail sashimi and seasonal vegetable dishes.
Main courses move between salads, pasta, seafood and grilled meat. Brinkley’s burger, tiger prawn tagliatelle, veal Milanese, calf’s liver and grass fed fillet steak sit alongside lighter plates such as goat cheese salad and fish with fragrant spice or citrus. Sunday brings traditional roast beef or chicken with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, vegetables and gravy.
Desserts such as sticky toffee pudding, chocolate fondant, chocolate mousse and seasonal fruit dishes provide a generous finish. Cocktails, sparkling wine and a wide cellar selection support both meals and evenings at the bar, with bottles also available through the adjoining wine shop. Fresh ingredients, flexible seating and an unfussy style have made Brinkley’s a dependable Hollywood Road destination.
