I had high hopes with Sunday lunch at The Ivy House, but unfortunately we were let down. Parking was good, and the location great – right on the high street. It seemed that they were understaffed though as service was slow, and the pork belly wasn’t very nice. Also, they didn’t have a high chair so JW was balanced on cushions (and almost had a nasty fall). If you live in the area, give a go otherwise there are better places to visit.

I was looking for a Sunday lunch in Theale, near Reading, and found The Winning Hand. As it was a country pub, the outside had character. The standard of food presentation was high, each course looked inviting. The speed of service near the end of the meal did tarnish the experience a bit, but only because we were in a hurry to get back.
Overall, a recommended Sunday lunch at The Winning Hand and we would visit again.

The Gun at Gun Hill is one of the Elite Pubs venues – we have visited most of the others, so I was looking forward to giving them a go, and we weren’t disappointed. The food was excellent, especially the crackling. They were very welcoming with our toddler and had some good menu options. We made full use of the garden too. A Top Rated venue, great for families as well as couples and celebrations

Having visited some of the other pubs in the Elite Group (including The Vineyard, a great Sunday lunch), I thought it was only right to book The Great House in Hawkhurst – and I was glad I did! The food was delicious, the service excellent and a great venue too. Definitely one worth travelling to visit – suitable for families and couples alike!

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.
