London's Best SUNDAY ROAST

Every Sunday we serve up London’s best roast. Cosy up in one of our red leather nooks – from where you can admire the eclectic taxidermy and whimsical illustrations of game that line the walls – and feast on one of the four delicious Sunday roasts: Longhorn beef slathered with horseradish cream; roast pork belly drizzled with apple sauce; lamb shoulder with a fresh mint sauce; and a tender baby chicken served with pigs in blankets, sage stuffing, bread sauce, carrots, parsnips, duck fat roast potatoes and a giant Yorkshire pudding.

It’s as satisfying as a Christmas dinner and, crucially, available all year round.

  • "Such a gem of a place, the food is fantastic and seasonal which brings something new every time we go there. The Sunday roast beef was melt in the mouth, and veggies cooked just enough to retain flavour and a bit of a bite. Staff were welcoming, courteous and very attentive, we were lucky to find a table even without a booking (note to self, book on a Sunday!)."
