Dovetale’s Sunday roast is what happens when a two Michelin star kitchen takes on a British classic and gives it a bit of a reset. The setting does a lot of the heavy lifting straight away; it’s a seriously good-looking room and the service is pretty impeccable. The roasts, made with high-quality produce, are served sharing-style, and the Basque chicken and beef rump are both cooked with precision. But this isn’t one for traditionalists; alongside the usual elements, you’ll find a fresher, more refined approach, including salad on the plate that’s sure to divide opinion when it’s brushing up against your gravy. Still, if you’re open to a slightly different take, it’s a well-executed, more elegant version of the Sunday roast that leans into its Mayfair surroundings.
