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.

The Crooked Well had been on my radar for a while now, so was really looking forward to trying out their roast dinner when we had a spare Sunday. I was not disappointed – the sharing roast lamb was delicious, as were the roast potatoes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. A venue for a casual lunch or celebration with the family – Top Rated!
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.

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.
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!
