Local tips

Book ahead for Sunday roasts, particularly during winter months when the cosy dining room fills quickly. The pork belly and roast potatoes are exceptional and worth planning around.
Arrive early on sunny days to secure a table on the pretty front terrace with its hanging baskets and parasols—it's one of the most pleasant outdoor dining spots in the neighbourhood.
Explore the wine list beyond the house selections; the curated European wines offer excellent value for the area and pair beautifully with the seasonal menu.
If visiting with a dog, mention it when booking—the pub is dog-friendly and makes an ideal stop after exploring nearby Holland Park.
Leave room for dessert; the traditional puddings including sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble with brandy custard are homemade and genuinely memorable.

A Hidden Gem Between Two Neighbourhoods

Tucked away on a quiet residential street, The Ladbroke Arms feels worlds apart from the bustling energy of nearby Notting Hill. Located at 54 Ladbroke Road, this beautifully styled pub sits perfectly positioned between Notting Hill Gate and Holland Park, making it equally accessible to both locals and visitors exploring the area. The exterior, adorned with hanging baskets and flowering plants, creates an inviting first impression that immediately signals this is no ordinary pub. Behind the pretty front terrace lies a sanctuary of comfort and culinary excellence—a place where the traditional pub atmosphere meets refined, restaurant-quality food.

The Essence of Modern British Gastropub Dining

The Ladbroke Arms represents gastropub dining at its finest, where the kitchen draws inspiration from multiple culinary traditions while maintaining a distinctly British foundation. The menu showcases seasonal ingredients and eclectic influences, incorporating Gallic touches alongside Asian-inspired elements, creating dishes that feel both adventurous and grounded. Starters might include potted white crab with brown shrimp and keta caviar, or goat's cheese parfait with pickled mushrooms. Main courses range from a celebrated short rib and flank burger with smoked applewood cheddar to fish and chips featuring IPA-battered haddock, and a signature Ladbroke fish pie combining halibut, scallop, prawns, and smoked salmon. Vegetarian options receive equal attention, with offerings such as roasted Delica pumpkin with toasted couscous and mixed wild mushroom gnocchi featuring prominently.

Sunday Roasts: A Celebrated Tradition

Sunday roasts at The Ladbroke Arms have earned legendary status among London diners. Each roast arrives laden with roast potatoes, grilled hispi cabbage, maple-roasted carrots, Yorkshire pudding, and rich gravy. Diners choose between roast corn-fed poussin with sage and onion stuffing, roast pork belly with Bramley apple sauce, 28-day aged sirloin beef with horseradish cream, or a cheesy Dauphinoise and caramelised onion Wellington for vegetarians. The pork belly particularly stands out—a thick-cut, tightly wound slab where the meat proves remarkably tender, the fat renders to perfection, and the outer crust achieves ideal crispness. The roast potatoes and carrots are consistently excellent, while the cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets serve as worthy accompaniments. These Sunday offerings have secured The Ladbroke Arms a position among London's finest roast dinner destinations.

Atmosphere and Design

The interior balances comfort with understated elegance. The light-filled bar and dining room are furnished in a relaxed, unpretentious manner that welcomes both casual diners and those seeking a more formal meal. The quaint, traditional dining room maintains period charm without feeling dated, while the pretty front terrace—complete with hanging baskets, parasols, and outdoor tables—transforms into a magnet for sunny days. The overall aesthetic is one of refined neighbourhood hospitality: charming without being precious, welcoming without being loud, and stylish without pretension.

Beverages and Hospitality

The wine list deserves particular mention, offering a curated selection of European wines at reasonable price points for the area. The bar programme includes classic cocktails such as Bloody Mary, Passionfruit Martini, and Spicy Margarita, alongside a thoughtful selection of beers and spirits. Service throughout is characterised by staff who are relaxed, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their work. The team demonstrates the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel valued—whether you're a regular local or a visitor discovering the pub for the first time.

A Destination for All Occasions

The Ladbroke Arms successfully accommodates diverse dining occasions: a quick pint with friends, a leisurely lunch, a celebratory dinner, or a family meal. The pub welcomes dogs, making it an ideal conclusion to a walk in nearby Holland Park. Whether you're seeking an exceptional Sunday roast, outstanding gastropub fare, or simply a warm, inviting space to spend an afternoon, The Ladbroke Arms delivers consistently excellent food, thoughtful service, and the kind of genuine neighbourhood atmosphere that defines London's best establishments.
