7 of us had a pre-Christmas family get together. The Ladbroke Arms never disappoints. The menu was varied and interesting - catering for everyone - the brown prawn crumpet was amazing, the burger is always great and the flatiron steak amazing too. The staff are lovely and also efficient - even when the place is packed. Atmosphere is just great - a mix of ages, lively but you can still have a conversation. Exceptional value for money and just a great evening. Well done!

A wonderful experience. Beautiful building and the Christmas decorations were exquisite. Very good festive menu. The staff are always very efficient and professional but friendly. Attentive but not intrusive as some places can be. It’s not cheap but then fine dining with the wonderful atmosphere never is. Loved the pianist playing Christmas carols and tunes.
