After a long day wandering the extensive gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2015, you’re bound to crave a refreshment and a nice sit down. So just in time for the show’s opening tomorrow, we present three of the best local Chelsea establishments offering floral-inspired treats.

The Builders Arms, 23 Smith Street, SW3 3TY

All three of our chosen pubs will be serving spring cocktails specially created for the show, including a floral G&T and the summer Cup (think Pimms but with Sipsmith gin). The Builders Arms on Smith Street has also concocted a special Chelsea Flower Show two-course menu, offering dishes such as Salad of ruby chicory, nasturtium, Roquefort and candied walnuts, and Vanilla and lavender crème brûlée.
