The Ladbroke Arms reviews
Mediocre and potentially heart attack-inducing food, a kitchen that seemingly can't cope with the size of the restaurant and only one member of staff who had the capacity to write anything down.
We arrived in a rush as we were told that we were not able to move our table back half an hour, only to be sat down at our table half an hour later. We were then advised that we should order a starter as the kitchen was busy (presumably they outsource the starters) and then waited until the waitress who took orders deigned to come and talk to us, having asked three other members of staff as to whether we could order some drinks.
If you are thinking of going, may I suggest that you don't go at either lunch or dinner time as the kitchen gets busy, bless their cottons, and the waitresses aren't allowed to do their jobs. It's neither gastro, nor a pub.

A group of us went for Sunday lunch. We had booked a table but they hadn't got a table for us when we arrived; however, they said they would get us one, which they did very quickly. The service was a bit slow but got better and the food was really very nice. The pub itself is a delight - it's oddly like being in the house you wish you had! Recommended.

Food was great and the staff friendly and helpful. One of those places that you hope stays a local's secret.

Great location, and the food was very good for a pub. Crowd was a bit snobby but I got drunk and ignored them!

One of the best locals in London, nothing can beat the great staff, the old-timers and lovely food. God bless the Ladbroke Arms.

One of the best gastropubs in London, consistently cooking for over 4 years. Service always helpful and very mixed crowd. Summers at its best when terrace can be used.
