The Ladbroke Arms is a perfect place to have a summer drink outside on the front patio, or inside during the colder months. The food is top notch, especially the mixed leaf. pumpkin seed & beet salad, as well as the fish dishes. The chocolate fondant desert (complete with chocolate sauce & vanilla ice cream) is the best one I have had in London (better than the one at Zuma).

Service is very spotty, and when it gets busy (basically every night), they temporarily halt service from the kitchen. Very difficult to get a table to eat at, and sometimes the kitchen closes earlier than the 10pm closing time cause they frequently run out of food. Service could be friendlier, but its a great local with a gorgeous setting.
