We recently came across one of those; "sign up to our mailing list and get a free drink" type things. We are complete suckers for a freebie (who isn’t!) so we thought why the hell not!?
The Churchill Arms is a beautiful and welcoming real ale boozer half way between the beautiful streets of High Street Kensington and the trendy ways of Notting Hill Gate.
This unique Fullers pub was once frequented by Winston Churchill's grandparents...Yadda, yadda, yadda...BUT most importantly (to us), it was the first London pub with a Thai restaurant! Uhuh, yes, you heard right - Thai Restaurant!
The second you step in to The Churchill Arms you are surrounded by the usual traditional pub type atmosphere. Dark brown wooden tables and seats that creek the moment you look at them, the smell of real ale dripping from the taps and the sounds of customers sighing and sipping away at their pints after a hard day’s work. Try not to be alarmed by the three-quarter-size cardboard cut outs of the Queen, William and Kate. We would imagine by the end of a night of drinking, they’d end up being your best mates! Selfie time!!...
We all get the munchies after necking a couple of drinks down our systems but never fear, this pub has magically grown their own jungle...... So if you're hungry and fancy relaxing in pure amazingness, step in to the jungle....
Must admit, the moment we witnessed the walls and ceilings bedecked with hanging baskets spilling over with flowers, foliage and dried up butterflies, we thought we had entered a cross between beautiful Thailand and Mr Tarzans abode. (We promise, we weren't drunk)!...Gulp!
Their scrumptious selection of Thai meals are reasonably priced and the portions are actually quite big (not that we'd ever complain)! And of course, they have a fab selection of ale, wine and spirits (the drinking kind).
Okay, so enough about this. We are now hungry and need to go back here again very soon!
This is a popular place so we would advise booking ahead and remember guys, sign up for a free drink, use lots of different email addresses (shhhh, we won't tell anyone if you won't - wink, wink).
