With another visit to Whitstable, we booked The Oxford. I reserved a table for 3 the following Sunday and we were all set. The food was a mixed bag – my beef was delicious with a lot of seasoning but unfortunately the fat on the pork belly wasn’t melted. The sticky toffee pudding was nice, and JW enjoyed (his rather expensive) child’s roast. Overall, worth visiting if you are in the area although as no changing area it isn’t really suitable for toddlers or babies.

The British Queen, Locksbottom
The British Queen opened recently in Lockbottom, near Chapter One. I have been looking forward to visiting and had a chance one Sunday – so booked for Claire, me and JW, our toddler. The venue had a great atmosphere, lots of hubbub and activity. On the whole, the food quality was very good, and I especially enjoyed the cauliflower cheese (as always), along with the chocolate delice dessert. Definitely one to come along with family, we scored them a fantastic 4.5 / 5.

After visiting The Jugged Hare and Chiswell Street Dining Rooms) I had the opportunity of booking The Gun, a sister pub. They were very welcoming to us with John William (a 10 month old baby). The venue itself was impressive – a smart restaurant area at the front with a relaxing bar area out the back (including a wonderful terrace area). The food here was very special – well presented and excellent tasting. The service was also superb, so all in all, a well deserved Top Rated Award for Sunday lunch at The Gun.

We visited the Cow and Pig in Bromley one Sunday lunch time as an impromptu review – and I am very glad we did! The food was good as was the service. I especially enjoyed the roast beef and the (extra) cauliflower cheese. A good venue to take children along as well – great for family celebrations or an intimate dinner for two.
