We’ve been here quite a few times over the years and as usual it didn’t disappoint. The hotel was beautifully decorated with amazing xmas trees which gave it a lovely Xmas feel. Even though it was a busy night it felt like we were the only ones there it still felt quiet. We had the festive menu and it was delicious. It came with a glass of champagne which was very tasty. The service was impeccable and the waiters were very attentive. I would thoroughly recommend having a meal here it’s definitely worth the money. A lovely treat for Xmas.

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!
