We were looking for a Sunday lunch near the beach and Whitstable came to mind. After a bit of a search, I found The Pearson Arms by Richard Phillips. The food here was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed all courses (including the free bread). My roast beef was really good, as were the roast potatoes. Claire enjoyed the lemon posset dessert, it was very sharp and sweet at the same time. A top rated Sunday lunch!

We were visiting St Margaret’s Bay in Dover for a family event and decided to stay over for the weekend. I never miss an opportunity to review a new venue, so with this in mind I found The White Cliffs in St Margaret’s at Cliff. Booking was easy, and we arrived to be shown to our seats in a light, airy room. The Sunday lunch here was excellent, with a special mention to the cauliflower cheese. Our roast beef was cooked well, and the rest of the vegetables were enjoyable. My chocolate brownie dessert was the star though, with a wonderful marzipan ice cream.
Top Marks for Sunday lunch at The White Cliffs in Dover, Kent!

We visited The Moody Mare in Mereworth near West Malling, Kent. Really good that they were able to serve a mixed roast – it came with beef, pork and chicken. The cauliflower and broccoli cheese was quite good, but the slow service let the experience down. If you are in the area, then perhaps give it a go if you have spare time – suitable for families as well as couples.

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.
Read More...The Atrium, Rochester
We were looking for a Sunday lunch in Rochester, Kent and decided on The Atrium, situated on the quaint high street. We were met as soon as we entered and shown to our table immediately. The starters were ok, I enjoyed the pate but the mushroom spring roll was odd. The Sunday lunch was enjoyable, especially the gravy. The roast lamb and beef was cooked through which meant it wasn’t very tender. The desserts were nice, I liked the chocolate truffle torte.
Overall, The Atrium scored a respectable 3.5 out of 5 – one worth visiting if you are in the area.
