After a good experience previously in Farringdon, I booked Malmaison in Reading for a Sunday lunch. The market table wasn’t as good as previous, and the 3 course meal took a long time to complete (over 3 hours) due to service being slow. The food was nice and it was kind of them to provide olive oil cooked roast potatoes which might explain the delays. Overall, a worth 4/5 score for Malmaison.

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.

I had been recommended the Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells for Sunday lunch, so I booked up when we were at a loose end. The venue was smart, with great service. On the most part, the meal was good value – £24.95 for a 3 course Sunday lunch and £9.95 for a child’s meal. The market table was immense, so much choice and definitely meant hungrier guests could get their moneys worth! The lunch was delicious, as was dessert. Overall, a Top Rated Sunday lunch for Hotel du Vin.

We were holidaying in Suffolk and were able to meet some family for Sunday lunch.
