No, not another NOTW thread.

Where is the best SUNDAY ROAST within reach of the manor today.

I know StaferJack has a good few places in his quiver, if they could be prised from him I'd be most grateful.

Slavering in anticipation

SJ, myself and BellendenBelle will be checking out the delights of the Crooked Well in Camberwell today. We can report back but by then it will be too late.

The usual suspects all do something decent but tbh, I'm not sure you can ever beat a home-made version. Doesn't have to sit around drying out and fresh spuds make all the difference.

Can anyone apart from strafer recommend anywhere Nette?

If so, I was at the Old Nuns Head for Sunday Roast the other week, it was lovely. You can get really decent child-sized portions there (be warned - these are big enough for adults too!) Service was great as well. They also do excellent coffee and home-made cakes.

Hope you find somewhere to suit.

I always thought of you as an adult katie!

I agree with DC in that you can't beat home made.

Damned shame the Woodman in Sydenham closed, as they did a fantastic roast for about 8 quid.

Woodhouse is okay, but I think it's too expensive for what it is.

[Annette Curtain]

Yes Katie of course you can.

( silly girl;-) )

Thank you everyone. I would normally cook but did a b.b.q yesterday for 90, so a bit fagged off with standing at the hob.

Keep 'em coming though.

DC is indeed right about home made roasts but sometimes nice to have a day off from cooking (and clearing up afterwards)

Did I mention the Old Nuns Head? Go and try it. I will pay your bill (minus drinks) if you didn't enjoy your meal :))

The woodman has shut? When did that happen?

[????]

the best roast ever was the Secret Garden at Franklins when it was a BYO in the antique/junk shop of the same name on Camberwell Road FACT

....ones now non-descript new build flats, the other an extremley expensive and far less atmospheric hybrid of its former glory

The Devonshire arms Forest Hill is really good and serve all day

Well I can report the Crooked Well on Camberwell Grove was bloody superb.

A rabbit and bacon pie for two, one roast beef, one gazpacho soup, one chocolate torte and lots of booze equalled the best roast I've had in a long time. Service couldn't have been better either.

A difficult site that hasn't done great in the past so go now and support an excellent local business.

We went to The Vic in Bellenden Road.

Beef was absolutely fantastic.

Service was great.

We sat outside to eat & then played a few games of table football inside with my boys.

What joy.

I tried the Ivy House yesterday. 9 quid for a huge roast dinner and it was delicious.
