The Queen’s Head, Chislehurst
With events conspiring against us, we had to change our plans of visiting Greenwich and went to The Queens Head in Bromley instead for Sunday lunch. A pub in the centre of Chislehurst, it was very busy with weekend drinkers and diners. The food was a bit below par unfortunately, but the service and venue brought this Sunday lunch up to a 2.5 star. One to go with friends and family for a bit of a Sunday afternoon session… and having a burger.

We had visited The Farmhouse in West Malling and received a great experience, so I had to take the opportunity to review their sister pub in Lamberhurst, The Vineyard. The location was superb, set in wonderful Kentish countryside. The garden was spacious, as was the venue inside. Our Sunday lunch was really nice, with a lot of meat, good flavouring with the roast potatoes and nice vegetables. Our desserts were enjoyable, the Coconut Crème Brulée was very well presented. Service here was excellent, and ensured we had a great experience. An excellent Sunday roast at The Vineyard in Lamberhurst, Kent.

We visited The Moody Mare in Mereworth near West Malling, Kent. Really good that they were able to serve a mixed roast – it came with beef, pork and chicken. The cauliflower and broccoli cheese was quite good, but the slow service let the experience down. If you are in the area, then perhaps give it a go if you have spare time – suitable for families as well as couples.

On a whim, I booked Sunday lunch at Kits Coty on Bluebell Hill, near Aylesford. And what a choice it was! The view from the restaurant was excellent. The food safety equally superb, with excellent roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding (best I have ever had). It’s family friendly too, with very clean high chairs and a children’s menu.
If you are looking for a great Sunday roast, definitely check out Kits Coty

We were visiting my Dad for Father’s Day and decided to try the Sunday lunch at The Rose and Crown in Pluckley, Kent (near Ashford). I am very glad we did! The food was delicious, the beef cooked to my (requested) liking, super roast potatoes and gravy. The outdoor space meant our child could run outside and burn off some energy. A Top Rated Sunday lunch.

This certainly was a wildcard – a rundown hotel, probably damaged by fire. It seemed like they were going through renovations, but taking their time with it! The food was good, lots of curly kale and nice roast beef – but some of our party found it unpleasant eating in room with extensive fire damage!

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in East London, specifically Bethnal Green. Resident at Paradise Row seemed to fit the bill. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they served gluten free Yorkshire puddings! Overall though, not one for young families – more suited to 20-30 somethings without kids.
