There’s something special about watching a good game of rugby — the roar of the crowd, the crunch of the tackles, and the thrill of every try scored. But finding the perfect spot to soak in all the action, with great food, drinks and atmosphere, can be a bit of a challenge. Thankfully, School Kitchen in Chiswick has firmly established itself as the best place to watch rugby in Chiswick, combining matchday excitement with fantastic hospitality.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of the Premiership, follow the international rugby calendar religiously, or just love the camaraderie of a good Six Nations clash, School Kitchen delivers a viewing experience like no other.

A Matchday Atmosphere That Hits the Mark

Situated within the Cricket Pavilion at the Latymer Upper School Sports Grounds on the Quintin Hogg Memorial Grounds, School Kitchen is a bar, restaurant, and takeaway with a difference. Since opening in autumn 2024, the venue has quickly become a go-to hangout for locals, sports fans, and families alike.

On game days, the place comes alive. Large HD screens throughout the venue ensure you don’t miss a single moment of the action, whether you’re perched at the bar, seated inside with a pint and a plate, or enjoying the atmosphere from the covered outdoor terrace.

The energy is infectious. Expect a warm welcome, lively conversations, and plenty of friendly banter between fans. It’s the kind of place where you can cheer loudly, celebrate each try, and enjoy the shared joy of sport.

Food That Goes Beyond the Scrum

While many sports bars offer the usual line-up of greasy fast food, School Kitchen raises the bar. The menu is varied, exciting, and crafted to satisfy every appetite, whether you’re after something light or looking for a proper pre- or post-match meal.

Some of the standout offerings include:

• Sri Lankan favourites from Pirivena – bold, vibrant dishes packed with flavour.

• Mexican street food from Quetzalcoatl – ideal for sharing over a few drinks

• The unique ‘School Dinners’ menu, designed by some of the UK’s best chefs like Tommy Banks, Nadiya Hussain, and Matt Tebbutt, offers nostalgic comfort food with a gourmet twist.

• Sunday roasts and brunches – perfect if you're spending your rugby-filled weekend at School Kitchen

It’s hearty, warming food that matches the spirit of the sport. And with vegetarian and vegan options also available, there’s something for everyone.

Quality Drinks, Fast Service

What’s a rugby match without a proper pin.t? Whether you’re into your craft beers, prefer a crisp lager, or fancy a glass of wine or a refreshing cocktail, School Kitchen’s bar has it all. Our friendly staff keep things moving even during the busiest fixtures, so you won’t be queuing for long when it's time for a top-up.

A Venue with a Social Purpose

Not only is School Kitchen the best place to watch rugby in Chiswick — it’s also a venue with real heart. A portion of all revenue goes toward the Latymer Foundation, supporting community education and local schools in the borough of Hounslow.

Even better, all profits from our 'School Dinners' menu go towards funding free school breakfasts for pupils at partner schools. So every bite you take helps support a great cause — a win-win in anyone’s book.

Book Ahead for Big Matches

Rugby days, especially during the Six Nations or Rugby World Cup, can get busy — and with good reason. To avoid missing out on the buzz, it’s wise to book a table in advance. Whether you're heading down with mates, family, or your rugby club, the team at School Kitchen is happy to accommodate group bookings and celebrations.
