With The Bickley opening up after a renovation, we were keen to try out their new Sunday lunch. It was difficult to get a table, but managed to book one for midday. The venue itself is much improved, being brightly decorated. Inside has also been improved, opening up the restaurant area to 3 levels. I really liked the styling. The food was ok, slightly cheaper than previously and JW’s kids Sunday lunch was quite good. Service was incredibly slow, but this should be something that’ll improve over time (I hope!). Overall, a decent lunch and one for families in the area.

I found The Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, London online, and decided to book for Sunday lunch the following day. Parking was very difficult, and expensive (£12 for 4 hours), but I have to say, it was well worth it. The venue was situated right on the River Thames, and had an excellent view. The bread we ordered to nibble on whilst waiting was superb, as was the main courses of roast pork belly and roast beef. My lime cheesecake was also something notable.
A superb, Top Rated Sunday lunch at The Trafalgar Tavern in Greenwich, best suited for a special or celebratory occasion.

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.
Read More...Bridge House, Penge
I booked the Bridge House in Penge, Lewisham on one Sunday – I had actually been there once before and enjoyed the food. I explained the dietary requirements for JW (gluten, wheat and dairy free) and was told all would be ok with the roast, apart from the Yorkshire. In fact, this was incorrect – JW ended up having roast beef and chips, for the same money as a kids roast! Overall, the food was ok, but this mishap really spoilt our experience. Go if you live in the area and do not have any dietary requirements.
Read More...Chapters, Blackheath
Having reviewed their sister venue, it would have been rude not to visit Chapters in Blackheath, Greenwich, and I am very glad we did! Whilst not as formal as Chapter One, it was still a very smart and professional venue, providing an excellent Sunday lunch – the roast beef was delicious, as were the potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Definitely worth travelling to visit – a Top Rated award!
