The White Hart, Hythe
We were visiting Hythe in Kent, so obviously I searched for a venue to review for Sunday lunch. An old pub situated on the High Street, The White Hart was a bit too dark for a bright Sunny day. The service was poor initially, but did improve through the meal. The Sunday roast was quite good, with a nice selection of vegetables (including cauliflower cheese!). Overall, Sunday lunch at The White Hart in Hythe scores 3/5.

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Sevenoaks with my Dad and Lesley. A couple of choices were available, but I settled on a Sunday roast at House on the Hill – the swaying factor was having a fish and vegetarian course available. We were pleased with the quality of food and also the service – very welcoming and accommodating. Overall, an excellent Sunday lunch at the House on the Hill.

The Bridge Hotel in Greenford was a pub / hotel fairly close to home so we decided to book it for Sunday lunch with some friends.
We had the option of beef, chicken, pork or a trio. Claire and Abi chose roast chicken, Phil and I chose the trio. After an extremely long time to wait, our food was brought out. It wasn’t great, the beef and pork was very tough. the chicken was very good though. Dessert were a bit strange. The service was good but it was an average lunch.

I have visited a number of times for beers over the years, so I was looking forward to reviewing the Sunday lunch at The Phoenix in Denmark Hill, London. The venue is part of Denmark Hill rail station, and they carry a train theme through the pub (with a large clock hanging from the ceiling). They have a great selection of craft beers available, as well as decent priced wine. The Sunday lunch was reasonably priced between £11.75 for Roast Chicken to £13.00 for Roast Beef. The roast was ok, I wasn’t keen on the vegetables, but the desserts were superb. they scored a respectable 3.5 out of 5.

Paradise by Way of Kensal Green in Brent was somewhere we were really looking forward to having a Sunday lunch. The venue was very eclectic in decoration, with bird cages and books around the place. The roast lamb and roast beef were excellent but unfortunately the chicken was a bit of a let down.
Overall, come here for a special dinner during the week, or even on a Saturday, but we felt the Sunday lunch wasn’t good value.

The Gun at Gun Hill is one of the Elite Pubs venues – we have visited most of the others, so I was looking forward to giving them a go, and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent, especially the crackling. They were very welcoming with our toddler and had some good menu options. We made full use of the garden too. A Top Rated venue, great for families as well as couples and celebrations

Sunday lunch at The Bel & Dragon in Kingsclere, Newbury was probably one of our best ones yet. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and so good with children – a unique venue, with chalk for the children to draw on the tables! A perfect Sunday lunch for family celebrations or anyone with a very large appetite!
Read More...The Dirty Habit, Hollingbourne
After looking for a Sunday lunch near Maidstone, I settled on The Dirty Habit in Hollingborne, a sister pub of The Vineyard and The Farmhouse. The 11 Century pub certainly had character, and I was pleased with the service initially, The roast potatoes were good, as were the vegetables. My Sticky Toffee Pudding was very sweet (a good thing), and certainly ensured I received the sugar hit I wanted. Unfortunately though, it took over 20 minutes just to receive the bill, so not one to go to if you are in a rush.
