The Jugged Hare, Islington

April 6, 2012 By John

We reviewed Sunday lunch at Chiswell Street Dining Rooms, a sister venue of The Jugged Hare, a couple of months ago with great success. Claire and I were invited along to the launch party of The Jugged Hare, so we knew the layout of the venue and what to expect decor-wise. We also had the chance to sample the food via canapes. Something we didn’t get to try, and I really wanted to, was their Sunday lunches.

So, a couple of weeks after the launch party, I arranged Sunday lunch at The Jugged Hare for my birthday meal. This did mean driving to Islington for a Sunday roast, but it was definitely worth it!

The Recreation Ground, Camberwell, Southwark

January 8, 2012 By John

I received an email from Living Social with a deal for The Recreation Ground in Camberwell. I am always interested in a deal, especially for Sunday lunch, so gave it a go.

I parked up on the opposite side of a busy road (there were no available parking spaces down the side streets), and entered the pub. It was quite empty, with perhaps 3-4 couples dotted around the place. There was one couple playing a board game, which seemed a nice way to spend an afternoon.

Ordering lunch was easy and I was amazed at the quantity and quality – even without the voucher I would have been pleased. Food tasted fresh and well prepared. The service was also very good.

If you are looking for somewhere on a budget (and in fact, even if you are not), The Recreation Ground in Camberwell is definitely somewhere to visit.

The Haven Arms, Ealing

September 4, 2011 By John

We were looking for another Sunday lunch in Ealing and found The Haven Arms.

The roast pork wasn’t available (at 2pm!), but the roast chicken tasted excellent, the best flavour for a long time. The potatoes were a bit dry and there were strange inconsistencies of the vegetables. The service was a bit slow too… It would be best to book in advance as it was extremely busy when we were there.

We would like to give it another go earlier in the day as it may have just been a one off… Overall, Sunday lunch at The Haven Arms scores a respectable 3.5/5 plates.

The Clarendon, Notting Hill

September 3, 2011 By John

We needed to have a Sunday lunch in London and having an email from the manager at The Clarendon, Notting Hill, we decided to have a go.

The service here was excellent, being shown to our tables and helping as much as needed. The decor was great, with a very large clock almost taking up one wall. The Sunday lunch quality was top notch. It was a shame that we were served jus instead of gravy as Claire and I like lashings of it (which meant we needed another jug).

Overall, a highly recommended Sunday lunch in Notting Hill.

The Old Queens Head, Islington

July 7, 2011 By John

Being the sister pub of The Paradise by Way of Kensal Green we decided to review the Sunday roast at The Old Queens Head after receiving an email offer through Keynoir.

Excellent decor, with a quirky feel such as a deer’s head mounted on the wall and chandeliers. The roast beef and lamb were excellent, but there was disappointment with the roast chicken. The apple crumble was excellent.

So, for a Sunday lunch in Islington with friends, we would recommend giving The Old Queens Head a go.
