The George & Dragon, Chipstead
e had been recommended the Sunday lunch at The George and Dragon in Chipstead by a number of people so I was excited when I managed to get a table one Sunday. The village of Chipstead was beautiful, and the venue certainly fitted in. The food was superb, fresh and very tasty. A large garden out back and a children’s play area makes it especially suitable to families.
Overall, a top rated Sunday lunch at The George and Dragon in Chipstead.

We wanted to visit Ruth Watson’s Crown & Castle in Orford in Woodbridge, Suffolk for a while and had the opportunity to review. It was based almost opposite Orford Castle, with a beautiful white Tudor style frontage. The venue inside was just as nice. The service was good, we were looked after throughout the meal. We did feel quite awkward with JW though, not the place to bring a 7 month old baby! The food was mostly excellent, although the desserts were disappointing. It was a bit difficult to justify the pricing of this, at £28 for two courses it’s one of the most expensive we have reviewed.
Overall, a good Sunday lunch at The Crown and Castle in Orford, one to visit if you have some deeper pockets, and without a child!

I was looking for a Sunday lunch close to home and found The Bull Hotel, Wrotham in Sevenoaks, Kent – it was highly rated by a number of places, which meant we just had to give it a go. The venue was great – a country pub in a beautiful village. The service was so good, they were very welcoming towards us and our baby, John William. The food presentation was excellent, as was the quality and taste. Overall, a superb Sunday lunch at The Bull Hotel and well worth travelling to visit.

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 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.

Having reviewed their sister venue, it would have been rude not to visit Chapters in Blackheath, Greenwich, and I am very glad we did! Whilst not as formal as Chapter One, it was still a very smart and professional venue, providing an excellent Sunday lunch – the roast beef was delicious, as were the potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Definitely worth travelling to visit – a Top Rated award!

The Londsborough in Stoke Newington was recommended to Claire’s sister, Rona. She agreed to write a review on her findings… Have a look at the delicious roast beef as well as the mouth-watering desserts (especially the sticky toffee pudding!).

We finally managed to visit Topes in Rochester and try their Sunday lunch. A great venue with excellent food – including cauliflower cheese. The service was friendly and attentive, and they were able to offer a good lunch for our toddler. Sunday lunch at Topes is Top Rated.
