I received a recommendation from a reader for the Sunday lunch at The Lord Northbrook in Lee, Lewisham (London). We were at a loose end one Sunday, so decided to give it a go. The venue itself was well decorated, grey and black walls / flooring. The tables were nicely laid out, and loads of room for pushchairs. The Sunday lunch itself was good, although lacked flavourings. The fondant wasn’t gooey, so I ordered the sticky toffee pudding instead – which was excellent. A great pub for families, we will definitely be back to The Lord Northbrook for another Sunday roast.

This certainly was a wildcard – a rundown hotel, probably damaged by fire. It seemed like they were going through renovations, but taking their time with it! The food was good, lots of curly kale and nice roast beef – but some of our party found it unpleasant eating in room with extensive fire damage!

I have visited a number of times for beers over the years, so I was looking forward to reviewing the Sunday lunch at The Phoenix in Denmark Hill, London. The venue is part of Denmark Hill rail station, and they carry a train theme through the pub (with a large clock hanging from the ceiling). They have a great selection of craft beers available, as well as decent priced wine. The Sunday lunch was reasonably priced between £11.75 for Roast Chicken to £13.00 for Roast Beef. The roast was ok, I wasn’t keen on the vegetables, but the desserts were superb. they scored a respectable 3.5 out of 5.

As we had such a good time at The Crooked Well, I couldn’t wait to visit their sister venue – The Perryvale. It was a smart bistro in Forest Hill – the venue was light and airy, with lots of mirrors dotted around. The food was good, although a bit too rich for my liking. I did enjoy the roast beef, and also the treacle tart. A Sunday lunch best with friends or couples

Paradise by Way of Kensal Green in Brent was somewhere we were really looking forward to having a Sunday lunch. The venue was very eclectic in decoration, with bird cages and books around the place. The roast lamb and roast beef were excellent but unfortunately the chicken was a bit of a let down.
Overall, come here for a special dinner during the week, or even on a Saturday, but we felt the Sunday lunch wasn’t good value.
