If we had to name our favourite thing to do in London, foodie or otherwise, it would probably be heading to the pub for one of the city’s many incredible Sunday Roasts. The combination of a cosy pub, the Sunday papers, stuffing yourself silly, and drinking a few pints is hard to beat. If you’re hungover, then then the best Sunday Roast in London is usually the closest one to your house. If you want to eat a truly spectacular Sunday Roast, however, then there are a few restaurants and pubs in London that set the bar very high.
Everyone has their personal preferences but there are some things that every Sunday Roast should get right: crispy potatoes, perfectly cooked tender meat, and, Yorkshire puds most important of all, a thick, rich flavoursome gravy – and plenty of it. Nothing worse than a place that brings you a tiny thimble of gravy.
From there, the veg, presentation, cuts of meat is all up for grabs. One of the best Sunday Roasts in London for us is at Blacklock, in Soho or Shoreditch, where the only sensible choice is to go “all in”. For £20 per person you’ll be presented with a huge platter of beef, lamb and pork, giant Yorkshire puddings, perfectly crispy roast potatoes, heritage carrots and sprouting broccoli. And at the bottom you’ll find three thick fingers of bread, soaked full of gravy and juices – a genius move.
Many of the best Sunday Roasts in London take a more traditional approach. At Roast in London Bridge the choice include sirloin roast beef, pork belly,and roast chicken served with seasonal veg, crispy roasties, a ginormous Yorkshire pud. There’s also the option to order mash as extra (HOORAY for mash!).
It’s all too easy to get stuck going to the same place every week but take a look at our guide below and hopefully you’ll discover something new to check it out amongst the many brilliant Sunday Roasts in London.
