Deservedly popular for both food and drink
This pub reminds you of the terrific effect that a good host can have on an establishment. I popped in there whilst walking down to Kensington High St and left over 2 hours later! Not short of a word or a joke, Gerry the Irish landlord ensures that all goes swimmingly whilst bustling around serving pristine pints of "London Pride" and taking plates of Thai to tables in the back.
Noted for its Thai food this pub comes up trumps on the Drink stakes as well and the pub has morphed neatly into an Irish Tavern with all its assorted paraphenalia hanging from the ceiling or nailed to walls as in the old newspaper cuttings, Guinness signs or all the British Prime Minister's from Walpole onwards.
A lovely, bustling and welcoming pub...

Fantastic Notting Hill Historic Pub
The number one spot in London for pub and food with an added bonus of having an historical charm. Knees up Mother Brown... a local haunt for cockneys. Cheap beer, fab cheap Thai food. A must for anybody within 5 miles of Kensington palace.

Thai Food and Chamber Pots
The Churchill Arms is a great old pub with interesting decor - a collection of chamber pots hang from the ceiling!
There is a good Thai restaurant at the back of the pub. The food is tasty and pretty cheap too.
This is a very popular place, so make sure you book ahead.

Tasty Thai
We find notting hill is central for a lot of friends so often head for the Churchill arms just for the thai. Make sure you book for dinner well in advance or you are likley to miss out on a table. The service is very quick and the food is fantastic - especially for the price! Once your allocated booking time is up they will have no problem in telling you and making you move. Not a problem as you can move straight into the pub for a drink.
Unless you plan on eating there I wouldn't both with this pub as there is nothing special (or awful) about it.

Nice Thai food hidden in the back yard
The restaurant is hidden in the back of the pub. But that is a real restaurant, with fine Thai menu. The butterflies and the deco are adding to the akward feeling that you can have when entering the pub itself. A great value for money, especially in the area.

Excellent Thai food !
I love this pub and its atmosphere.
The Thai restaurant at the back is very good value for money and the food is very nice (very spicy !). One advice is to book the restaurant in advance as it's pretty much packed all the time.
One of my favourite locals

Untraditional Sunday Roast
I tootled along to this pub thinking I would be able to soak up the atmosphere, have a pint and at the same time, fulfil my longings for a traditional sunday afternoon roast. When we got there the place was heaving because of the Rugby World Cup, but there are plenty of tables tucked away through the back so we only waited about 10 minutes before one came available and we could settle down. When handed the menu though, I was disappointed to see there was a short list of Thai numbers and not a mouth-watering joint or roastie to be found anywhere. The food we ordered was delicious, it came quickly and was just about the right size. I left the place pretty satisfied but I just wanted to warn others that appearences can be deceptive and this is not usual pub grub. Then again, maybe Churchill did have a penchant for Pad Thai, I don't know.

Simple, tasty, and worth the wait
The churchill arms has to have the best pub based thai food in London. There are loads of pubs that have the Thai food concept, but I think the Churchill arms has the edge.
The pub is a typical traditional pub, full of character, from the outside you would never guess the culinary delights that await inside.
The food is simple, extremely tasty, and great value for money. Choose you time carefully or be prepared to wait for a table, it is most definitely worth the wait!
I seem to remember that the veggie options are just any of the dishes with no meat. Green curry and pad ped are amazing, and if you like you food hot, the Jungle curry is spicy enough to make my scalp tingle :-D

Interesting place. You will find good thai food in a traditional English pub. It is always quite crawded so you might have to wait a bit to find a table to eat but it is worth waiting!

One of my top London pubs. Great atmosphere and Thai food
I used to be a regular when I lived in High St Kensington. The atmosphere is great. Sometimes, the landlord will be around...he's a showman and always comes up with something to get everyone in good mood. The ceiling is fully decorated with antiques and weird artefacts. The Thai food is excellent (and at very good price)... which means booking is recommended. One trick to still eat in a busy eve when you have not booked: try to sit in some of the small tables by the pub...they will serve you food there ;) In Springtime, all the outside is covered with flowers, which makes for a great souvenir picture!
