The Latymers, HammersmithB+Worth Trying

157 Hammersmith Rd, London W6 8BS · Pub, Restaurant, Thai restaurant · 4.4/5 Google (1534 reviews)

Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating

A lively Fuller's pub with a legit Thai kitchen delivering bold, spicy plates at fair prices, though service can be inconsistent and some recent reports mention rude interactions.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

The Latymers delivers bold, authentic Thai cooking that earns genuine loyalty among West London regulars, with standout curries and seafood dishes that justify the fair pricing. However, inconsistent execution and uneven service interactions prevent a higher grade—recent reports of brusque staff and occasional kitchen lapses suggest reliability concerns that keep this from competing with the area's most polished neighborhood restaurants.

Restaurant Summary

Step into a classic West London pub and find a back-room Thai kitchen turning out dishes that taste like a plane ticket to Bangkok. The room feels warm and bustling, the bar pours rotating craft beers, and servers on good days are genuinely friendly. One diner put it simply: "Flavors hit hard in the best way." Do note, a few recent visits flagged brusque interactions, so the service vibe can be a little uneven when it is busy. The cooking leans elevated traditional Thai rather than fusion fireworks: think Pad Thai, green and red curries, sizzling prawns, and a steamed whole seabass with lemongrass. Portions are usually solid and prices fair for the area, with seafood specials at a premium. If you like real heat, you will be happy; if not, ask them to dial it back. This is comforting, bold Thai in a pub—ideal for pre-show meals, weeknight dinners, and anyone craving big, balanced flavors over gimmicks. Families fit in fine. The dining room sits away from the bar hum, and there are friendly options like Pad Thai and fried rice for younger or cautious eaters. The menu is not built for strict allergen needs—vegetarian choices are present but gluten handling has mixed reports—so those with sensitivities should confirm details with staff before ordering.
