The March Hare

On King’s Road in Chelsea, The March Hare brings a touch of Wonderland to West London, pairing playful imagination with a polished sense of occasion. Formerly known as Callooh Callay Chelsea, it retains the spirit of inventive mixology while refining the experience for a more grown-up crowd. The result is a destination where whimsy meets elegance, and conversation flows as smoothly as the cocktails.

In the kitchen, elevated small plates and seasonal dishes set a lively rhythm. Think poached Carlingford oysters brightened with pickled cucumber and dill, or a pulled pork scotch egg enriched with black treacle, showered with cider apple sauce and a lively hit of piccalilli, all lifted by crispy sage. It is food designed for sharing and lingering, with flavours that balance comfort and curiosity.

At the bar, the theatre continues. The house Bloody Mary brings horseradish heat and a sly touch of amaro santoni, while the Honeyberry Spritz marries Ford’s gin and Asterley Bros sweet vermouth with lemon and Chambord, finished with a celebratory sparkle of champagne. There is The March Hare Pilsner and Brooklyn Stonewall IPA on draught, alongside a wine list that ranges from zesty Sauvignon Blanc to sumptuous Malbec.

With interiors that balance quirky charm and contemporary poise, this is as fitting for spirited nights as it is for intimate catch-ups. Book a table, raise a glass, and follow the white rabbit to Chelsea’s playful side.
