It’s surprising how few decent Sunday roasts there are in London, which means scoring a table can take weeks – or even months – of advance planning
Blacklock, we’re looking at you. So, we were pretty happy to hear that The Angel Inn in Highgate Village now has new ownership – Heath Ball, the same guy behind the award-winning Red Lion & Sun just up the road – and that it’s serving up Sunday roasts with a walk-in-only policy. WINNER.
Eat This
The Sunday Roast, of course! There are three options on the menu: a beef rib, mushroom and beetroot wellington or pork belly. All are huge, come with giant Yorkshire puds, extra gravy and all the trimmings.
Outside of that, the menu is pretty limited. There’s just a handful of starters – mostly things on toast, like the crab or tomato & anchovy – and a couple of desserts. We loved the sticky toffee pudding, which was surprisingly light.
Drink This
There’s a cracking drinks list. Start with a kimchi Bloody Mary (it’ll blast away your hangover), then move on to the really great wine selection. Owner Heath has curated a massive list with everything from funky fizz to more classic tipples (this is Highgate, after all).
Why Go
Number 1: It’s your get-out-of-jail-free card if you haven’t managed to book a Sunday roast anywhere.
Number 2: The pub also does a full breakfast from 8am – pretty rare – so you could totally make a day of it. Just a thought…
