Our recommended pubs and restaurant reviews on Best Sunday Roast

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 Farmhouse, West Malling

March 4, 2012 By John

We were looking to have sunday lunch with my aunt, uncle and their children in West Malling. The Farmhouse is quite a well known pub in the area, winning a number of awards with the likes of Top Table. It was a toss up between this pub or The Swan. We decided to have our Sunday roast at The Farmhouse – it was slightly cheaper (and we had not eaten there before).

The restaurant area felt almost like a country inn, with lots of wood and dark browns. The service was good, the food was excellent and we were very pleased we chose to have our Sunday lunch here. A recommended roast and a must visit. This pub would be suitable for celebrations, father’s day, mother’s day, a romantic lunch or just meeting up with friends and family…

Frogpool Manor Saddlery, Chislehurst

January 29, 2012 By John

With family living in the Chislehurst / Bromley area, I have visited The Frogpool Manor restaurant a couple of times over the years – I believe one time we hired it out for a family Christmas party! It is an unusual place to have a restaurant, with The Saddlery in close by (in fact, whilst eating Sunday lunch I saw horses eating hay whilst in their stables!).

A recommended Sunday lunch here though, with interesting surroundings and wholesome food.

The Plough Inn, Eynsford, Kent

January 22, 2012 By John

We were meeting my friend, Simon, who was travelling from Southend. This meant I had to find somewhere quite easy for us all to meet. I settled on The Plough in Eynsford, Dartford. The reviews online seemed good, so I thought it would be worth a shot.

It was in a very nice area, with a small stream running next to the road outside. Inside had the feel of a high quality gourmet country pub, with a light and fresh feel, as well as proper fur skins covering the chairs!

The food was excellent, as was the service. An excellent, top rated Sunday lunch which would be perfect for special occasions and celebrations.

The Black Swan, Ockham

January 15, 2012 By John

As we were over in Ascot, I wanted to find a lunch to have on the way home to Bromley. I found The Black Swan in Ockham, Surrey and booked it through Open Table (the booking engine on their website) for 12:45pm.

We arrived earlier than expected, so took the opportunity to relax with papers in a chair in front of the open fire. We were shown to a very small table, so I was thankful that when someone moved we could change to a different one. The Sunday lunch here was very good, although the vegetables were a bit strange – having a large amount of red cabbage and not much else. The meat was excellent quality though.

Overall, a recommended Sunday lunch in Ockham – just remember to bring a large wallet.
