JKS backs pub reopening in Chelsea

July 2021 will see the long-awaited reopening of Chelsea pub The Cadogan Arms, following investment from operators behind The Running Horse in Mayfair, as well as JKS Restaurants.  

Dominic Jacobs of The Running Horse will spearhead the project as managing director, having raised capital from a
number of private investors, including Jyotin, Karam and Sunaina Sethi, founders of JKS Restaurants.

Jacobs and his team will create a food and drinks offering that celebrates the revival of community driven hospitality, as locals look to their neighbourhoods for post-lockdown comfort.

James Knappett of two Michelin-star Kitchen Table in London’s Fitzrovia will oversee the menu as culinary director, drawing inspiration from his first-hand experience of growing up in pubs. He will work alongside executive chef Alex Harper (The Ledbury and The Harwood Arms).

Drinks at The Cadogan Arms, formerly an ETM Group site, will showcase exclusive beers, cask and craft ales, alongside an extensive wine list and contemporary cocktails.
