I can't believe this place has been open for 2 years and I hadn't known this for that long!!!!!Lovely establishmentGreat staffGreat securityBig up the House and see you again very soon! L

I've never had problems with getting served well and early. Sure, when it's packed it can take time, but that's the same in every venue.

I'd highly recommend this place. the music is always fresh and funky, and the staff very helpful.

Oh, and loads of pretty ladies in frocks :)

Went to Big Chill House on a Tuesday night to catch up with a friend.

Basically, the interior is nice, quite a few sofas packed in, an upstairs bit with more sofas, a large terrace and a downstairs bit i didn't see.

It was OK, but the staff were amatures. They took about 15 minutes to make a Big Chill cocktail for us, blatantly didn't know what went in it, as they weren't even hiding the fact they were just addign random things. They also then stirred it and managed to splash the guy next to us with red drink all over his white shirt - eh wasn't pleased, and all they could say was 'sorry'.

We ordered some food - a bowl of chips (£3.50!!) which were cold and dry, and tasted exactly like cheap oven chips. We also tried a pizza, which was pretty good and hot.

i've been to Big Chill House a few times over the last couple of years and my experience has been mixed. You tend to get out what you put in - be polite to the staff and have a laugh with your mates then everything will be OK... most of the time. I have seen the door staff get unnecessarily arsey with normal people asking normal questions. One time I went in the summer with a male friend who had Carhartt shorts on and they refused him entry under a "strictly no shorts" rule (apparently) but were happy for women to wear anything they wanted including shorts... when we pointed out a group of girls walking in pissed and wearing shorts we were pushed out onto the street and aggressively told to leave under pain for a permanent ban???

Generally the crowd in The Big Chill House is mainstream and middle class. The music is generally alright for a drink and a little boogie.

Overall I'd rate this is a themed chain that never had any spark to loose and definitely lacks the cutting edge music acts that would make this place a "must visit". Sadly great venues in Kings Cross are few and far between and sadly this isn't one of them.

Ai caramba that is a whole lot of baloney lol

I went to The Big Chill House last night for Keeping it House, it was the first time I had been there and it was heaving. Great atmosphere, lovely staff!
It was amazing that the House was so busy with such a big place and I managed to get served so fast every time, well impressed.

I lost my small precious bracelet very important to me at some point and asked security for some help and one of the security (didn't quite catch his name) got his little torch out and stayed looking until i found it. Thanks if you read this.

One of the best nights I have had in a long time and I def don't say that often.

Oh well you can't take your drinks out on the terrace after 11pm because thats the law but amazing there is a huge terrace you can socialize and smoke on till 3am if you choose.

Will definately be coming back with more people, This is the kind of place London needs more of.

Keep it up

What a load of Anonymous baloney in a previous review. As a regular at Big Chill House I can tell you, The Big Chill specialises in friendliness, as anyone who has been to one of their events/bars will tell you. The door people are lovely (though I don't think I'd like to mess with them!").
Secondly, what's this bull about no drinks on the balcony...Doh! Course there are drinks allowed on the terrace. And what a beautiful south facing terrace it is! x

Absolutely the rudest bouncers I have ever come acrosss - accused my friend and I of wasting their time when we had trouble remembering what guest list we were on. Not that we needed to be on one as the place was empty at 11pm on a Friday night!

Yes, the terrace is lovely, but what's the point if they don't have a drinks license so you have to leave your drinks inside?!

Had a wicked night (place was rammed on a Wednesday!), the bar staff were super friendly. Fantastic cocktails especially the Mojitos and Big Chill Punch. Best terrace in London by far. Well done Big Chill, see you at the festival!
