Best place for a Sunday Roast?


Recommended Posts

Most people I know think of them as separate places. You knew what I meant.

Surely a very good reason to avoid like the plague.

Yes I agree! the roast there is good but why do they persist with that jazz band at lunch? I guess I must be in the minority but I find it so annoying sitting there trying to eat and listen to your friends/family and being drowned out by a band or a guy on a double bass or piano (during the week)! I am happy to sit outside and have a distant sound of jazz but being drowned out by it is really annoying and we have been known to waffle our food and get out of there quickly to go somewhere we can actually talk.


This is just my opinion so as I said I presume I am in the minority.

In addition to the Great E, Palmerston, The Lordship and Crooked Well, all of which I'd agree are excellent options, I'd also consider The Old Nun's Head and Peddler in Peckham.


I don't think you can go wrong at any of these, although very hard to argue which is best. The Old Nun's Head and GE are prob best value and offer comparable quality to the others.

Live Jazz is just too imposing if you are having a nice quiet Sunday Lunch with the family or friends..


They have Jazz sometimes in the EDT.. Guy on Sax is awful. Just seems to play up and down the

Scales with semi Avant Garde style chords.. Augmented fifths or what ever.


Really irritating.

Yep, the washing up after a roast is enough to put me off doing them very often. If I have a hankering I invite myself round to my mum's. Very rarely have a pub roast, and even the really good ones (Palmerston and the like) leave me a bit disappointed.

Was going to start a thread to recommend the Old Nun's Head for a truly excellent Sunday Roast then I saw this one. Great service, nice atmosphere, lovely staff and the food was delicious.


Not so keen on doing all the donkey work and having roasts at home anymore now :)

Well thank you very much everyone, I do have plenty to choose from.

Really appreciate all your help.

I always make my own roasts at home but got the family over next weekend & really fancy going out for a change but the main reason is so i don't have to wash up lol

Yes.


Their roast is a lot cheaper than the other options mentioned above.


But it reminds me of my school dinners in the fifties :(


Of those I've tried, I enjoyed The Great Exhibition's and The Old Nun's Head.


The Montpelier was one of the worst I've ever had locally (beaten only by one at the Dog which was virtually inedible), but that was a year or so back so maybe things have changed.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
