Discover more about The Ladbroke Arms
A Hidden Gem Between Two Worlds
Tucked away on a smart residential street between Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park, The Ladbroke Arms feels worlds away from the bustle of its famous neighbours. The pub's flower-bedecked front terrace, complete with hanging baskets and parasols, creates an inviting threshold that draws you into a space designed for lingering. Inside, light-filled rooms are comfortably furnished with a relaxed, unpretentious elegance—no stuffy formality, just genuine hospitality and a genuine sense of belonging.Seasonal Menus with Global Influences
The kitchen takes a thoughtful, eclectic approach to modern British cooking, drawing inspiration from French and Asian traditions while remaining firmly rooted in quality British ingredients. The menu changes regularly with the seasons, ensuring freshness and variety for regulars and newcomers alike. Starters showcase vibrant flavours—potted white crab with brown shrimp and keta caviar, or goat's cheese parfait with pickled mushrooms. Mains range from the celebrated Ladbroke Fish Pie, layered with halibut, scallop, prawns, and smoked salmon, to a short rib and flank burger topped with smoked applewood cheddar and bone marrow crumb. Vegetarian options receive equal care, with dishes like roasted Delica pumpkin with toasted couscous and mixed wild mushroom gnocchi with truffle honey dressing.Sunday Roasts as a Ritual
Sunday lunch at The Ladbroke Arms has become something of a local institution. The roast menu features impeccably sourced proteins—28-day aged sirloin, roast pork belly with Bramley apple sauce, and roast corn-fed poussin with sage and onion stuffing—all served with roast potatoes, grilled hispi cabbage, maple-roasted carrots, Yorkshire pudding, and rich gravy. The pork belly, in particular, has earned legendary status among devotees: thick-cut, tightly wound, impossibly tender, with perfectly crisped exterior and a subtle herb infusion running through the core. The roasts draw a devoted crowd of locals and visitors alike, creating a warm, buzzing atmosphere that captures the essence of a proper British Sunday.Thoughtful Hospitality and Atmosphere
What sets The Ladbroke Arms apart is the consistency of its hospitality. Staff are relaxed yet attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and wine list without being pretentious. The wine selection is extensive and well-considered, with bottles starting at £32. The pub welcomes all comers—families with children, couples seeking a romantic evening, business groups, dog-walkers returning from nearby Holland Park, and solo diners at the bar. The atmosphere is lively without being loud, friendly without being forced, and the decor strikes a balance between contemporary comfort and traditional pub character.A Neighbourhood Anchor
Located at the intersection of two affluent London neighbourhoods, The Ladbroke Arms has become a genuine community hub. It's the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name, where a casual drink can turn into an impromptu dinner, and where the quality of the food justifies the premium pricing. The outdoor terrace is a magnet on sunny days, while the interior provides cosy refuge during London's grey winters. Whether you're local or visiting, this gastropub represents the best of modern London hospitality—unpretentious excellence in a welcoming setting.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
