Make the most of the long weekend at two of West London’s standout pubs, The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea and The Hound in Chiswick – both perfect for al fresco drinks and dining.

Whether you’re catching up with friends or enjoying time with family, don’t miss their signature Frozen Spicy Peach Margarita – a slushy twist on a summer classic, made with chilli-infused Casamigos Blanco, peach and lime. It’s as bold as it is refreshing.

The Hound boasts a chic outdoor courtyard with a retractable glass roof and a sun-drenched terrace, ideal for all-weather lounging. Meanwhile, The Cadogan Arms brings the buzz of the King’s Road to life with its vibrant pavement terrace – a prime spot for people-watching over plates and cocktails.

Menu highlights include the hearty Chicken & Bacon Cobb Salad, their cult-favourite Fried Chicken Burger, and the ultimate comfort bite: a gooey Chilli Cheese Toastie.

Both venues are ideal for soaking up the sunshine, so this May Bank Holiday, raise a glass and savour the best of the West.
