The Hinds Head, Bray
The Hinds Head in Bray, being a Michelin starred pub, has been on my radar for a while. We had the opportunity to visit just after Christmas, and I am very pleased we did! The service was excellent, as was the food – fois gras was delicious and beautifully presented, the roast beef was wonderful with excellent roast potatoes. We felt it was a venue to take older children to rather than a toddler – this was mostly down to having no background noise to cover up the usual sounds youngsters make. Overall though, a great place and The Hinds Head in Bray scores 4.5 out of 5!

Having visited some of the other pubs in the Elite Group (including The Vineyard, a great Sunday lunch), I thought it was only right to book The Great House in Hawkhurst – and I was glad I did! The food was delicious, the service excellent and a great venue too. Definitely one worth travelling to visit – suitable for families and couples alike!

We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Rochester, Kent and decided on The Atrium, situated on the quaint high street. We were met as soon as we entered and shown to our table immediately. The starters were ok, I enjoyed the pate but the mushroom spring roll was odd. The Sunday lunch was enjoyable, especially the gravy. The roast lamb and beef was cooked through which meant it wasn’t very tender. The desserts were nice, I liked the chocolate truffle torte.
Overall, The Atrium scored a respectable 3.5 out of 5 – one worth visiting if you are in the area.

I love cooking Roast Chicken, it’s one of my favourite meats for a home cooked meal. Using just lemon, thyme, garlic, onion, carrots, salt and pepper, you can make a really succulent roast quickly and easily with the minimum of fuss.

We originally booked elsewhere for a lunch in London, but when this was cancelled, we were able to get a reservation at Hixter, Bankside, and I was so glad we did! The venue itself was smart but fun – the staff were professional whilst at the same time being very welcoming. Our toddler, JW, was well looked after – and I appreciated the his free lunch! The roast beef was superb, one of the best I have had. They also served cauliflower cheese so, all in all, a definite winner! Top Rated Sunday lunch at Hixter, Bankside.

We were looking for somewhere we hadn’t reviewed before in Bromley (we’re running out of places) – I had been suggested The Bricklayers Arms previously so booked for one Sunday for lunch with friends. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but this is first and foremost a pub. Great selection of beers, I thoroughly recommend visiting if you are local and after a quiet drink rather than the Sunday lunch.

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...House on the Hill, Sevenoaks
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.
