All the boujee hangout spots where you could rub shoulders with the Made in Chelsea cast irl

Ah, to witness a Made in Chelsea argument in real time. Then we wouldn’t need to wait six months to watch it on Channel 4. It turns out that this is actually a perfectly realistic aspiration – assuming you’ve got a lot of cash to spare. The Made in Chelsea cast have quite a select number of hangout spots where they return year after year to cause drama.

Here’s a handy guide to all the Made in Chelsea cast’s favourite hangout spots, where you could casually loiter hoping to run into them and be a part of the drama.

Raffles

The inaugural episode of Made in Chelsea took place in the Raffles nightclub. Thirteen years later, it’s still where, like, 90 per cent of the Made in Chelsea drama goes down.

Raffles is one of the oldest nightclubs in London. It’s in an old Chelsea townhouse near the River Thames. Yas dramatically snogged Miles there. Sam Thompson once spent an eye-watering £24,000 in Raffles on a single night. Jamie Laing, Spencer, and Tristan Phipps have been roped into wrestling each other there for something called Raffles Rumble. I don’t know what it is and I’m a bit scared.

Unsurprisingly, Raffles is extortionately expensive. It’s technically still a members’ club. Being a member costs £500 a year, plus a £250 joining fee. You can also become a lifetime member for the bargain price of £2,500. If you’re not a member and want to book a table for one night, it will set you back £1,000. Yikes.

Don’t despair just yet, because there are ways for us mere mortals to make it in and witness the Made in Chelsea cast members cheating on each other in real time. If you happen to be friends with someone who is a member, they can take you plus one other guest in. Another method is to slide into the DMs of one of the club promoters on Instagram, who will put some people on the guest list for that evening.

Bluebird Chelsea

This bougie restaurant is a favourite spot for the Made in Chelsea cast to spill tea and start beef. The cast have been going back to it ever since Spencer, Jamie, Hugo, Natalie and Rosie has an almighty five-way row there back in season three.

Unlike some of these places, it is just a restaurant, so anyone can stroll into Bluebird – assuming you’ve got a lot of spare change. Bluebird charges £15.50 for two eggs on a muffin, £8.00 for one small portion of chips, and a tragic £116.00 for two portions of steak. Were the cows fed on caviar, or something?

Boys ‘N’ Berry

This is the restaurant where Maeva called Sam a “little rat” and chucked a glass of wine in his face. Iconic.

Boys ‘N’ Berry is near the Parsons Green station in Fulham. The restaurant is also on Deliveroo and Uber Eats, for those of us too lazy or too poor to go there in person.

The food looks perfectly nice, but it will set you back a fair bit – some tuna on toast costs £17.00. I wish I was making that up.

The Phene

So, Lucy and Tiffany Watson‘s dad literally owns this mega-fancy pub in Chelsea. This explains why it’s been one of the Made in Chelsea gang’s fav hangout spots throughout the years.

In 2023, Sophie Habboo held her long-awaited hen party there. Olivia Bentley, Ruby Adler, Verity Bowdtich, Melissa Tattam and Emily Blackwell all showed up. They played a game called “Guess The Bums”. I’m not sure if I want to participate.

The Phene has been a pub since 1853, although “pub” feels like a pretty grand word for somewhere that sells and a beef wellington for £72.00 and something called “Guinea fowl supreme”.

The GOAT

This pub’s website has a whole page providing evidence that the Made in Chelsea cast hang out there. It’s one of the mildly more affordable places for you to visit in real life – you can get a burger or pizza there for £12.00, which is pretty cheap for Chelsea.

The Botanist

This mega-fancy restaurant and bar is bang in the middle of Sloane Square. No wonder the Made in Chelsea cast go there so much. A bowl of porridge costs £9.50. I kid you not. This restaurant is not to be confused with The Botanist in Bath, where First Dates is filmed.
