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!
Read More...The Rosendale, West Dulwich
I was looking for a Sunday lunch in Dulwich, and decided that The Rosendale, with it’s emphasis of being a family friendly venue. This made it perfect for us with our son, JW (aka William), so a table was booked for 12pm the following day. Arriving early, our table was at the back of the restaurant, next to the garden door. The food here was delicious, our roasts were excellently cooked, especially the roast potatoes. The desserts were also excellent. So, definitely a top rated venue in West Dulwich!

As we were going to Old Street for a friend’s party, I decided to book Sunday lunch at Tramshed in Shoreditch for the three of us (Claire, me and our 20 month old son, JW). Parking was extremely difficult, almost as bad as Brighton, but I managed to find a free(!) space a few minutes walk away. Outside, the venue is very unimposing – a simple arch with an entrance either side. Inside was a vast warehouse, with a Damian Hirst installation! The food, with an interesting presentation of the Roast Chicken and free kid’s minute steak, was excellent. The service was good, and the bill was very reasonable indeed.
Certainly a Top Rated Award for Tramshed in Shoreditch, East London.

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.

We haven’t had a Sunday lunc in Central London for a while, so decided to book somewhere close to Charing Cross station, Sophie’s Steakhouse. We arrived at midday as we were unable to book a table. Roast beef was ordered by 3 of us, and we were all very happy with our choice. The food quality was excellent here, as was the service. The pricing was high for drinks, but the kids eat free proved that Sophies Steakhouse in Covent Garden is family friendly and highly recommended.
