For 20 years, Magda has been the heart and soul of The Ladbroke Arms, a beloved Notting Hill pub. After a recent reopening, she’s gearing up for the festive season and sharing what it takes to create a space that feels like home.

People think running a pub is easy,” Magda says. “But it’s a huge operation. You need to be yourself, work hard, and love what you do. Enthusiasm, showing up every day, knowing your people, your product—it all matters.” And at The Ladbroke, it’s paid off. “The moment you walk in, you feel at home—it’s a home away from home.”

Of course, the pub’s charm isn’t just about the atmosphere—it’s about the food and drink, too. Magda swears by a Sunday roast paired with a large glass of Haut-Médoc or the scotch eggs that guests can’t stop talking about. And if you’re undecided? Go for fish and chips with a crisp beer or a perfectly cooked steak from their evening menu.

With the holidays around the corner, Magda is ready to welcome the community back to enjoy the same warmth and hospitality that’s made The Ladbroke a local treasure. After two decades, she’s not just running a pub, she’s perfected the art of it.
