Sessions Arts Club, one of our favourite restaurants in London, has finally given us a reason to romanticise Sundays again. The Clerkenwell spot is now open for Sunday lunch, serving a modern spin on the roast in its beautiful, firelit Grade II-listed dining room, alongside live music. Food is classic but polished, with seasonal starters like asparagus with saffron and verjus or trout with beetroot and horseradish, followed by shoulder of lamb with wild garlic salsa verde, beef fat potatoes, leeks with parmesan and an excellent gravy. Puddings come on a trolley, with rhubarb trifle and chocolate with prune and Armagnac to choose from. Don’t skip the dill martini or tomato spritz either, and the wine list has very fair mark-ups too. Man, we love this spot.
