We wanted to have another Sunday lunch in Sevenoaks, so after much searching online, I found The Fox and Hounds nr Brasted, Westerham in Kent. I had a very good roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Claire had roast pork with crackling. The roast potatoes were very nice, as was the great selection of vegetables. Also, the service was very good, always attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a highly recommended Sunday lunch.

The White Lion, Aldeburgh
We reguarly travel to Suffolk, as my grandparents have a caravan there. Each time we go, I remember that we have to review a Sunday lunch somewhere but we always forget. This time, it was different – I arranged a Sunday lunch at The White Lion in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. The service here was excellent, as was the decor, location and even the food.
We have no hesitation in awarding Top Marks to The White Lion in Aldeburgh for their Sunday roasts. Read the review to find out more…
Read More...The Jugged Hare, Islington
We reviewed Sunday lunch at Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, a sister venue of The Jugged Hare, a couple of months ago with great success. Claire and I were invited along to the launch party of The Jugged Hare, so we knew the layout of the venue and what to expect decor-wise. We also had the chance to sample the food via canapes. Something we didn’t get to try, and I really wanted to, was their Sunday lunches.
So, a couple of weeks after the launch party, I arranged Sunday lunch at The Jugged Hare for my birthday meal. This did mean driving to Islington for a Sunday roast, but it was definitely worth it!
Read More...The Sydney Arms, Chislehurst
As seems to be a habit at the moment, I looked in the fridge at the large joint of lamb and decided we should pop out for a Sunday roast. This time, Sunday lunch in Chislehurst was on the cards. I found out about The Sydney Arms on their website and as it was only 15 minutes drive away, I decided to give it a go.
The venue itself was suitable for families as well as dogs (they have a large garden outside). It seemed to be a family-run establishment, and felt very “local”. The lunch was pleasant enough though and if you have children, it may be worth a visit.
Read More...The Farmhouse, West Malling
We were looking to have sunday lunch with my aunt, uncle and their children in West Malling. The Farmhouse is quite a well known pub in the area, winning a number of awards with the likes of Top Table. It was a toss up between this pub or The Swan. We decided to have our Sunday roast at The Farmhouse – it was slightly cheaper (and we had not eaten there before).
The restaurant area felt almost like a country inn, with lots of wood and dark browns. The service was good, the food was excellent and we were very pleased we chose to have our Sunday lunch here. A recommended roast and a must visit. This pub would be suitable for celebrations, father’s day, mother’s day, a romantic lunch or just meeting up with friends and family…
