We have been meaning to review Sunday lunch at The Swan in West Malling for a while now and we finally had a chance just before Christmas. Parking was difficult, they do not have their own car park, but we managed it. The food was excellent, the service superb and we really enjoyed our time. A Top Rated Award for The Swan in West Malling.

Botley Hill Farmhouse, Warlingham
We were looking for a Sunday lunch within the M25 and, after some research, found Botley Hill Farmhouse in Warlingham, Surrey. It was set in beautiful rolling hills, quite amazing. The feel inside was contemporary farmhouse, being bright and fresh. The Sunday lunch was quite good, I enjoyed the beef and roast potatoes. There was a problem with JW’s dessert which spoilt the experience. Even with this though, it would still be worth visiting if you are in the area.

We were invited to visit Charlotte’s Bistro in Chiswick, West London – they knew we were coming, hence I haven’t given a score. A delicious Sunday lunch, with very tender roast beef, I really enjoyed the cauliflower cheese! The service was impeccable – definitely worth visiting if you have a celebration.

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.
Read More...The Crown & Castle, Orford in Woodbridge
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!
