The Crooked Well, Forest Hill
The Crooked Well had been on my radar for a while now, so was really looking forward to trying out their roast dinner when we had a spare Sunday. I was not disappointed – the sharing roast lamb was delicious, as were the roast potatoes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. A venue for a casual lunch or celebration with the family – Top Rated!

Our second visit at The Bulls Head Hotel in Chislehurst – not as good as the first, but only marginally so. The food was good, especially the portion sizes! It was great to have 4 roast potatoes, but we felt there were some issues with dietary requirements and service. Overall a very good 4.5 / 5.
Read More...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.
Read More...Browns, Bluewater
Bluewater doesn’t strike many people as the place to go for a Sunday lunch, but with the various shops and then great restaurants, it is actually quite logical. I found out that Browns do offer a Sunday lunch, so gave them a call.
Overall, it was a good solid Sunday roast, with various different vegetables (including cauliflower cheese). My lamb wasn’t the best value, and the potatoes were not very good. Claire really enjoyed her’s though, so have a read about it here.

After reviewing Abode Hotel previously, we had high hopes for Sunday lunch at Deesons in Canterbury. The bread was enjoyable, as was most of the main course. Due to some mix-ups with dietary requirements, they scored lower than they should have… visit for a great lunch, as long as you do not have any food related allergies.

I received a recommendation from a reader for the Sunday lunch at The Lord Northbrook in Lee, Lewisham (London). We were at a loose end one Sunday, so decided to give it a go. The venue itself was well decorated, grey and black walls / flooring. The tables were nicely laid out, and loads of room for pushchairs. The Sunday lunch itself was good, although lacked flavourings. The fondant wasn’t gooey, so I ordered the sticky toffee pudding instead – which was excellent. A great pub for families, we will definitely be back to The Lord Northbrook for another Sunday roast.
Read More...The Grasshopper Inn, Westerham
We were looking forward to spending Mother’s Day lunch at The Grasshopper Inn, Westerham. A lot of parking spaces available meant it was easy to park. The carvery was good, especially the roast potatoes and 4 choices of meat. Unfortunately the soup wasn’t very nice, it was cold and the croutons were soft. Dessert was enjoyable. The service was the main thing that let this experience down, from the time it took to receive confirmation of the booking through to the half our wait for my espresso. It would still be worth visiting The Grasshopper Inn for a carvery, but i wouldn’t suggest it on peak period days (such as Mother’s Day).

We were invited to visit Charlotte’s Bistro in Chiswick, West London – they knew we were coming, hence I haven’t given a score. A delicious Sunday lunch, with very tender roast beef, I really enjoyed the cauliflower cheese! The service was impeccable – definitely worth visiting if you have a celebration.
