You can’t miss this place in summer due to the amount of hanging baskets this pub has. Never before have I seen a building so devoted to floral attire! Inside it is eccentric in the old english pub way, pots and pans hanging from the ceilings, old photographs etc etc. The pub leads through to the restaurant which continues the over abundance in plant theme. You can get Thai food here if you manage to get a table - this place get rammed, in fact I have never actually been able to sit down in this pub.

Stonking place. Packed even on a Monday night, which tells you a lot. We eventually came in here for a nightcap, as it was totally rammed at first attempt, which is a shame as we had been lured in by the delicate waft of Thai spices and the promise of a great atmosphere.

Ok, so drinking options are about as standard as you are going to find, but the interior entirely mitigates this. It’s like wandering into a witchdoctor’s bar with low end of the spectrum lighting and strange voodoo like watering cans and rugby balls hanging off the ceiling, even a (quite useful) signpost. As mentioned by other qypers, the Thai section is a brighter palm leafed little oasis to the side of the bar. It’s a wonderful symbiosis which results in an inviting and charactered spot to socialise in, ably assisted by lovely staff.

Another cursed-name venue, but hey it seems that it’s blessing in disguise!
Churchill’s IS the epitome of good pub food…Forget sausage & mash or fish and chips though: we’re talking Thai pub food. Go and see it for yourself, it’s only 5 minutes from Notting Hill Gate station. You’ll get your money worth: £ 6 for a big phat noodle or rice meal! Don’t get put off by the pub side of the pub where Churchill governs on wallpaper, but head straight to the green back garden, which is actually where the action is. This may sound very adventurous, but I just make-believe: I usually only stick with Pad Thai (number 5 or 6 on the menu).

Great pub, fantastic setting with masses of flower baskets in summer, beautiful dining area but bad food and service in the restaurant.

The first thing you'll notice about the Churchill Arms is the huge flower display outside. The name of the pub is barely readable amongst it all. If there is a sports tournament/
war memorial etc. going on somewhere in the world, there's a good chance landlord Gerry's barstaff will have gone all out to represent it with inflatables and memorabilia. There's loads of other interesting collections on the walls an, of course, tons of Churchill stuff. After you're good and drunk, had the spilt drink trick played on you by Gerry and watched the sport, you should move to the courtyard at the back and have one of the best Thai meals in London. Winner of the 1999 Evening Standard Pub of the Year, it hasn't dropped an ounce of quality since. Great for families, dates, meeting mates or a quiet one after work, The Churchill Arms is the ultimate Central-West London public house.

This pub seems to be most famous for its wonderful display of flowers surrounding it. But for me, this pub is so much more. As well as friendly bar staff, and a great atmosphere for having a drink with friends, the thai food in this place is wonderful. Not many people think that a pub would have good thai food, but this pub serves only the best. Delicious food, great drinks and great atmosphere.

The gem of Kensington, in my opinion, the Churchill Arms is both an excellent British pub, and exceptional Thai restaurant. It is as if someone decided to put two of my favourite things together in one building! The pub interior, decorated with a bizarre arrangement of random memorabilia, is intriguingly fascinating. It is often busy, but always relaxed, and once can usually find some standing space to enjoy a traditional pint. (Standing outside is often the preferred practice in warmer months).
The Thai restaurant round back is like another world – a leafy oasis, with tables to fit any group. The food is fantastic – the pad thai being a consistant favourite – and meals are extremely good value, with generous mains under £10.

The only problem I have with Churchill Arms is that it is not closer to my house.
Like, next door.

Every Year when I am at an Exhibition in the Olympia Hall it is a definite MUST to meet a friend at this bar. It is a very very very inspiring place with good fresh beer and at least when I was there very atentive and attractive staff.

See you in December!
