The Churchill Arms in Kensington and Chelsea

Bad customer service from the Thai restaurant. Walked in around 7:30 pm to get a 9 pm reservation since the place was packed. The waitress was very condescending and seemed like she didn’t want to assist my friend and I book a reservation. She proceeded to confirm and write on a piece of paper, and we walked out. We came back at 9 pm to hopefully get our reserved table, unfortunately, and not to my surprise, the same waitress is reluctant to serve us (probably because she really didn’t place any reservation) and tells another waitress to serve us. We tell her that we booked a 9 pm reservation and she says we have no reservation. We look at the initial waitress and she goes like “the tables are full” and proceeds on with her business. This was so unprofessional! Hopefully they will train their staff to treat customers better and be professional.

Honestly one of the most charming pubs I’ve ever been to! Such a good selection of beers, cosy interior and super lovely staff! Will defo be back to try the restaurant as well ✨❤️✨

Fantastic traditional pub, loads of memorabilia on the wall and great value Thai food.

Spectacular from the outside. The inside is very full of tourists who often don't want to drink anything but just walk around. You can drink a beer here. The food is also good. If the weather permits, it's better to drink the beer in front of the store. You should have visited.

Lovely pub serving great beers and wonderful Thai food!

Fabulous pub, but mediocre thai food

I love the Christmas decoration outside of the building. Brilliant.

Especially in the Christmas period it is amazing 🫠

A unique British pub experience blended with Thai cuisine! The place makes you feel in a completely different atmosphere thanks to its stylish and carefully designed decoration. Here, you can enjoy English beers or discover the different and delicious flavors of Thai cuisine. This place, which appeals to both the eye and the palate, is perfect for those looking for an extraordinary experience.

Loads of character at this pub , like stepping back in time.

Excellent beer, nice atmosphere, amazing decorations!

Loved this pub. Good beers and wines, and not bad prices either. Will definitely go again. We didn't eat, so can't give it anything for food, but otherwise, it's a great pub

All perfect, always i go to England i meet this place.

Beautiful Xmas display. Very slow service.

Cool pub but damn what a lot of people Instagram fame is powerful and many people want to get here

The outside of this pub defines Christmas. Stunning. If you can - BOOK!!! I couldn’t step foot inside as it was so busy.

Very busy as expected! But a lovely Christmassy pub with great service. Would recommend to anyone visiting London. They have a restaurant attached which requires advanced booking

Had a really good Thai lunch here. In December, they operate on a walk ins only basis. We were only allowed to have the table for an hour and they do keep coming round to ask if you're done. The stir fry wasn't piping hot but the spring rolls were and they were lovely.

Probably the worst pad thai I’ve ever had in my life. I was so incredibly disappointed to see that the “vegetables” included in the “vege pad Thai” were just some faint shreds of carrot and spring onion. Most places would offer tofu as a protein on the vegetable/vegetarian option, or would at least include a reasonable amount of vegetables. When I complained to the waiter they were incredibly defensive and said if I wanted more vegetables in the dish I should have ordered another dish (wtf?!). I could barely eat any of it as it was just a heap of dry, chewy noodles with barely any vegetables or flavour. I’d never recommend anyone to come here and eat unless they want to eat the blandest, worst than microwave meal quality food. What an absolute waste of money.

A very famous pub in London, visited even by Churchill's grandparents - the 7th Duke of Marlborough and Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane. Very beautifully decorated for Christmas. The lights turn on at 4:30 p.m. English time. There is a lot of Churchill memorabilia inside. It's worth visiting this place.

Very delicious and very authentic. It feels like a domestic street shop.

This brewery is a real gem! The beer I had was fantastic – full of flavor and perfectly fresh. The place charms with its atmosphere: classic English decor and historic design give it a unique character. During the holiday season, the festive decorations add an incredible warmth and charm, making it feel even more magical. Plus, you can enjoy some great food, making the visit even more satisfying. Definitely worth a visit!

Busy pub, friendly safe vibe. Seats inside and standing room outside. Winter festive season lights are impressive and worth a visit if you’re in the area. The Thai restaurant inside, is busy however ask for a table and staff will let you know if there is a wait. The venue is cosy, food served was delicious. Food was nicely balanced between portion and price. Service was fast.

Very atmospheric pub even though it was fully crowded. Both inside and outside decorating and lights were magnificent

Really busy pub but definitely worth a visit over the festive season. The pub is decorated with so many light etc. loved it!

Christmas decorations are really worth going to see unlike the rest of London. Beers not to expensive either. Really nice pub with nice staff. Didn’t have the food but smells great and the restaurant area looks lovely.

Went here to look at the Christmas lights, which were very impressive, and all the punters were very friendly. Service awful, and the toilets were absolutely rank, proper filth. Won't go back for this reason alone

Lovely pub! Came across it on a trip to London in November, definitely worth a visit!

Popped in for a quick drink while on our Christmas walk looking at lights. Great pub, great atmosphere and even greater lights! You must visit.

A magical place to drink grandma's beer in company

Wonderful buzzing atmosphere at this popular historic pub, without doubt a tourist destination. Thai food is basic unrefined and pedestrian served with attentive friendly service . The Christmas lights and historical Churchill trinkets whilst impressive do not warrant a second visit . Don’t take your captive audience for granted as eventually it may disappear .

The pub looks really good at Christmas and was quite busy but other than that it's a regular pub, definitely worth a visit still

Nice enough. Full of tourists. Way too busy.

A really charming local pub, full of interesting people and decoration. We didn't try the Thai food but it looked delicious. The owner was really friendly, as were the other drinkers. The place was absolutely packed but the atmosphere was great.

The most Christmassy pub in the world. Fantastic

Another typical pub, very nice!🤗

Amazing Thai food! We were not able to book a table as fully booked, but so happy we decided to queue and wait. Recommend booking in advance if you can (particularly during the Christmas lights period). Prices were very reasonable for food. Service was great

Great place to visit , especially around festive season . If you wanna eat something in the evening, booking is essential . Must be for London visitors in their attractions book.

A super atmospheric place, beautiful inside and out. Crowds of admirers add charm, full culture with a hint of nonchalance.

I'm very sorry to only have to give two stars, but it was really disappointing. Very nice place and in this period Christmas themed both internally and above all externally! Unfortunately, however, it really has nothing of a pub, since the food is Thai and the prices are high for the place... It was a real disappointment!

Highly recommend their Thai food

Amazing pub in Nottinghill area . The decoration inside and out was top notch. Very busy on a Thursday evening but a must go to if you’re in the area. They have a variety of gins and pretty much all pub drinks one can think of. Recommend!

We’d travelled down from Gloucestershire for the day. We specifically wanted to come and have a pint at Churchill Arms. Outside looked fantastic, but when going inside and waiting at the bar for service….was horrendous. Bar staff chatting amongst themselves whilst us and other thirsty customers were left waiting. When an order was taken they forgot who’d had ordered a beer. Then after the drinks had been served the bar staff continued chatting whilst the customer was left waiting to pay. This has probably been the worst experience of bar staff I have ever witnessed. I used to manage a team of bar staff myself back in the Cotswolds and would never tolerate such ignorance from the staff. Very amateur and really let the pub down. Disappointing experience.

The place is very nice but a little expensive. We only eat Thai 🥺

The sight is worth a visit, inside and out. The bar is busy and the atmosphere is relaxed and loud. The restaurant in the back is ok in terms of food and price. We got a seat without a reservation but as soon as the last bite has been eaten and the last drop has been drunk, everything is immediately cleared away. The table is wiped down and everything is re-set. It's easy to feel thrown out. I understand that you want to cash in, but that's a very unpleasant way.

Super colorful building full of details. You would never expect the menu offered to be Thai! Nice surprise! Several beers on the menu

Beautiful pub, nicely decorated. However on a Sunday night only toilet was available and it was so dirty that you couldn't even use it.

Nice and typical place. To visit

Very pleasant typical atmosphere, good beer and snacks. To visit

Where does one even start with this most London of London pubs?! It is everything you think it is; the decor is wonderfully unique, the service and atmosphere is always so welcoming. It's like coming home in a way,the welcome is that warm. Beer selection is great and clearly expertly kept too. Decor over the festive season will blow your mind too

This is a most on every visit to London. It is usually very busy but they move the tables very well so grabs a drink at the pub and they will come find you, usually faster than they say. Food is amazing.

A lot of stuff to look at, open seating except where reserved. Didn't eat but the Indian food smelled amazing.

I have been going to the Churchill to eat its superb Thai food for about 36 years and it has never disappointed. Back then it cost £3.50 for a main dish and now it is 7 times that price. However, still good value and the portions are on the large side. The staff are all very friendly. The only disappointment is that as it has become more and more popular it can become crowded at times. Booking a table is almost essential and that booking is for a 1 hour sitting which can be a bit of a rush. The restaurant area has a greater seating capacity than the bar so no opportunity to drink after your meal.

Went in to have a few pints of beer. Waited for a few minutes to be served knowing that the bar attendant was in front on me (it wasn’t busy). Also, I was looking for the toilet and mistakenly went to the entrance near the ladies toilet and this Thai lady server ask me for how many? And I said I’m just looking for the toilet , and she told me “ do you like to go to the ladies toilet?” Then said something in Thai to her colleague (laughing). Instead of pointing me to the gents toilet immediately. And lastly the beer that I left ( half a pint) on the table before going to the loo. They took it but replace it back. I don’t usually make this kind of feedback because I work in the hospitality industry, but I need to for you guys to improve your service.

A nice pint of London pride. And great Thai food at a good price

You wouldn't think this pub has a thai restaurant. Food very good!

Still probably one of the best Thai food places in London. It's unfortunate they aren't on any delivery service because it would be amazing to have delivered. The food is always solid with a great level of spice and authenticity to Thailand.

Honestly, people come here for the pub atmosphere not the grub. The thai food is not bad and it is reasonably priced however it is not the best Thai in the area. Personally the chicken in my stir fry was overcooked but I enjoyed the spring rolls and the traditional pub atmosphere. The facade is always impressive, particularly at Christmas and in the spring.

Gorgeous space both exterior and interior. Good thai food. Their beer selection is not great but not terrible. Worth checking out around lunchtime but I think you definitely want a reservation for dinner.

Traditional London pub. Historic serving fairly good quality Thai food

Delicious ALE, amazing interiors and exteriors

Lovely pub, often very busy though so bring a warm coat!

Like almost all of London, high prices for pints compared to Spain. Very well located and yes, the beer. Very cold. very good environment

Very unusual to find a Thai restaurant in an English pub with such an important name and yet the food itself is particularly delicious and refined. The service is fast but efficient. The beef with Thai Basil is very spicy (as it should be) and succulent and the Panang Chicken is close to perfection.

Thai dishes at very affordable prices Magnificent place Kindness of the servers No need to make a reservation to eat A restaurant side and a bar side

Fantastic Thai experience in the back of The Churchill Arms. Look. Normally I say spicy and at best, it’s tepid but be warned, here, hot means HOT! But I loved it! If you’re craving Thai food that truly delivers on flavor, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Each dish bursts with authentic, bold flavors—perfectly seasoned and packing just the right amount of heat. The spices aren’t just there for show; they’re thoughtfully balanced to complement the fresh ingredients, creating layers of taste that make every bite delicious. If you love Thai cuisine with a punch of spice and true depth of flavor, you won’t be disappointed here.

The place is friendly and the decoration is really beautiful! The food is very good at very reasonable prices. However, it would be nice if the servers were more welcoming and smiling, asking if the meal went well and if we wanted something else.

Really old charm London pub, beautifully decorated outside and very quirky inside, lots of Churchill memomorabilia and flag bunting. Fantastic authentic Thai food served here and they have a conservatory style garden area for food.

Stopped by for a quick beer in the middle of the day. Bar looks great, I can imagine it's quite nice here when it gets crowded.

Authentic English pub, homely, warm atmosphere. I recommend a visit!

I recently visited a local pub that specializes in drinks rather than food, and it was a great experience! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to unwind with friends. The drink selection was impressive, featuring a wide range of craft beers and unique cocktails. The bartenders were knowledgeable and eager to recommend options based on our preferences. I enjoyed a fantastic IPA that was refreshing and full of flavor. The overall vibe was relaxed, making it easy to strike up conversations and enjoy a laid-back evening. If you’re looking for a great place to grab drinks without the distraction of food, this pub is definitely worth a visit!

A beautiful, unique and classic bar, it's worth having a drink and feeling the lively atmosphere.

This is a really busy place so you need to book, I enjoyed the Frontier lager, the drunken noodles and the fried rice. I didn't get as much flavour from the jungle curry so didn't enjoy it as much.

The legendary pub… The decoration is a bit “too much”… when there is too much, it kills the charm. The restaurant offers drinks and Thai dishes. My dish with shrimp was good. On the other hand, the children didn't really like their chicken, they mainly ate the rice.

Love this place. Feels like it has been here forever. Maybe it has.

Good atmosphere - love a London pub

Built in 1750, it is a well-known historical pub in London. In the 19th century, Churchill's grandparents often visited here, so after World War II, the store was named as it is today, and many of the furnishings in the store are also related to Churchill. The exterior of the store is decorated with many flowers, which helped the store win the Chelsea Flower Show. It is very eye-catching. The Churchill Arms has always been a very popular pub. From a distance, you can see customers queuing up to dine or drink. Once inside, it becomes even more lively. You have to raise your voice to hear what each other is saying clearly! One of its biggest features is that the restaurant (restaurant and bar each occupy one area) is decorated with an exotic atmosphere and sells Thai cuisine. This time I tried the Pad Thai, shrimp green curry, and fried shrimp rolls. It was really delicious. Delicious, salty and sweet with a bit of spicy, delicious and enjoyable!

Very nice place and the food was fantastic.

Fabulous Thai Spicy Foods In LONDON😋

One of the best good looking pub in London if not the best.

The food in the Thai restaurant is great. The atmosphere and decor is fabulous and good friendly service

Brilliant traditional English pub, Battle of Britain theme. Nice Thai food, had lovely crunchy spring rolls. Nice beer. Eclectic collection of memorabilia, as an Aussie disappointed by lack of Aussie flags as there were many from other nations. 35 Aussies flew for Britain in the Battle and 10 perished. Good afternoon.

Thai food in a setting of a pub, it is as amazing as it sounds. I ate here for lunch on whim about a decade ago and have been wanting to come back ever since. I'm so happy we were able to get in and get a table in the bar area without much waiting. I got a good cider from the bar and had a wonderful pad si-ew with chicken. We were really hungry and also ordered some spring rolls and they came out super quick. If you are not from the area, this place is worth a stop because of the ambience as well as the yummy food. I'm going to try to go again before I leave!

I am so disappointed with my visit here! Although the main course was fine, nothing special; usual Thai food, I have marked this down since they served me the worse dessert I've had in a restaurant! It was a shop bought apple pie served with canned, foamy, squirty artificial cream. The pie was heated in a microwave and we all know that pastries heated like that goes soggy and is unpleasant. I could not eat it. When I told the server I could not eat the pie, there was no offer to replace it or take it off my bill. Decent restaurants would do that. I will not return.

I didn't try the food because the menu is only Thai food, but the experience of being there is worth it.

Tasty food, friendly staff, unique environment, always a good choice

Pub, with highly recommended Thai food. Very English and calm atmosphere

An old English pub With very tasteful Thai cuisine but I didn't expect this kind of cuisine in a London pub

Best Thai Food, only comparable to Latymer's

Not as wheelchair friendly as described on their website. There was a doorbell, but it doesn't work. Another patron had to get a member of staff to get the ramp for me. The ramp was too long and almost reached the road so it was very dangerous. Staff members also didn't know how to put the ramp down safely which didn't help. The Thai food restaurant was great and very accommodating for my mobility scooter and seating. But rushed us out and rushed us to pay for our bill. The atmosphere was very cramped and chaotic as to be expected for a pub on Saturday night. But still couldn't be helped by the fact that there was no bouncer on hand to help with the ramp or the crowds.

One of the great London pubs - wonderful, characterful & authentic atmosphere, outstanding internal decor and external decoration and serves probably the best London Pride you will ever taste . . I've heard the food is good too . . . If you are a tourist visiting the Kensington area you must go . . .

Sensational pub in Nothing Hill... unmissable

What a hoot! This looks like an iconic British pub … step inside and it is a British pub on steroids!! So much memorabilia to look at… jam packed with real folks- not just tourists - and to top it off…Thai food in the adjoining restaurant at truly reasonable prices!! Treat yourself … it is easy to get to but not on a busy street.

What a fun place to be in! Especially a great remembrance of Churchill!! Crowed inside and out!!

A London pub that you cannot miss on your visit to the city

Amazing place, but a little too crowded, we had to go outside.

The pub is renowned for its floral exterior which was the draw card for our visit. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior also which was super quirky and unique. I’m glad I made a reservation as it was at capacity though I don’t think the casual style Thai food was particularly memorable. It’s tasty but regardless go for the atmosphere of a classic English pub

This pub is a “tourist spot” that is worth it. It is famous and cited as one of the best in London and with good reason. Good food, good beer, interesting decor and excellent service. We went on a Saturday, even though it was busy and had to wait, it was worth the experience. I recommend!

Perfect combination of original English pub with Thai snacks. Lovely/Lively atmosphere.

Wide selection of pub drinks. Wonderful atmosphere inside and outside. Didn't order food item so can't rate it.
