The George, Egerton
As The George in Egerton was close by to my father’s house, it made sense to pop along for a Sunday lunch with the family. A local pub with a good Sunday lunch including a mixed platter – they even offered a vegetarian roast! A great place to go for a hungry family.

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.

With a pilgrimage to IKEA on the cards, I had to book a Sunday lunch in Croydon to soften the blow – and found Alberts Table. A smart restaurant, with great food. It was let down a bit by the slow service during the meal, so I recommend going but only with teenage or older children, or as a couple.

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.

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!

We had eaten at The Oak a couple of time previously, but we didn’t manage to review the Sunday lunch. For Easter Sunday, 8 of us decided to visit for a roast. Our booking was just after they had received a table of 20, so the food was understandably slower than usual. The Sunday lunch was quite nice, unfortunately the desserts were a bit of a let down. Overall, a family friendly pub to go if you are local to the area.

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.

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!
