The Lord Northbrook, Lee
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.

Having been recommended to try the Sunday lunch at the newly opened The Chancery in Beckenham, Bromley, I decided to give it a visit. Booking was easy, as was parking on the road outside. You can tell they have spent some money doing the venue up. I ordered the roast beef, Claire had a supreme of chicken and JW had the kids roast chicken breast. The lunch was nice, the portion size was good – I’d have preferred slightly better roast potatoes but overall a good experience at The Chancery. Worth visiting if you live in the surrounding area.

I was recommended Don Giovanni by a friend, so we booked up one Sunday for us 3 and my grandparents. It was on a busy road, so parking was a bit difficult, but it was a wonderful Italian Oasis in the middle of Bromley. The staff were very friendly throughout our meal, making sure we had everything we needed. The meal was 3 courses, starters were perhaps a bit too traditional, the main courses were good but the star was definitely the Limoncello ice cream.
A recommended Sunday lunch for Don Giovanni in Bromley.

We were visiting St Margaret’s Bay in Dover for a family event and decided to stay over for the weekend. I never miss an opportunity to review a new venue, so with this in mind I found The White Cliffs in St Margaret’s at Cliff. Booking was easy, and we arrived to be shown to our seats in a light, airy room. The Sunday lunch here was excellent, with a special mention to the cauliflower cheese. Our roast beef was cooked well, and the rest of the vegetables were enjoyable. My chocolate brownie dessert was the star though, with a wonderful marzipan ice cream.
Top Marks for Sunday lunch at The White Cliffs in Dover, Kent!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch at the Two Brewers in Shoreham, near Sevenoaks in Kent. The venue was fun inside, with lots of things on the walls, along with a small fish tank. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. I enjoyed the gingernut cheesecake for dessert too. Overall a Top Rated Sunday lunch, recommended for couples and lunch with friends.

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
Read More...Bridge House, Penge
I booked the Bridge House in Penge, Lewisham on one Sunday – I had actually been there once before and enjoyed the food. I explained the dietary requirements for JW (gluten, wheat and dairy free) and was told all would be ok with the roast, apart from the Yorkshire. In fact, this was incorrect – JW ended up having roast beef and chips, for the same money as a kids roast! Overall, the food was ok, but this mishap really spoilt our experience. Go if you live in the area and do not have any dietary requirements.

I had been told that The George & Dragon in Speldhurst, Royal Tunbridge Wells serve a super Sunday lunch so when Mother’s Day came round, I made sure I booked in early and I was certainly pleased I did! An excellent example of a well made roast – delicious throughout and a great venue. Top Rated, suitable for family celebrations, romantic meals or somewhere to take a well behaved dog (in the pub area).
