Recommendations for Traditional Sunday Lunch


Cazz

Recommended Posts

Hello can anyone help? I have some visitors from overseas coming this weekend and they really want a traditional well cooked sunday lunch.

Can anyone help they are not to keen on pubs! I was looking at The Crooked Well in Camberwell and The Orchard in Brockley.

Please advise

Thank you

St Christophers Hospice is open to all - good value ?5.00 & you can have starter which is soup and pudding. Obviously for additional cost. Non meat eaters also catered for.


Lovely garden as well now.


Haven't done it myself yet but told Golf Course also does Sunday Roast open to all but need to book. Lovely setting & views over London with tablecloths!


Parking on site at golf club and free around hospice.

I?ve eaten here and the food was great. The space is very cramped though.

  • 5 months later...

Had lunch at The Lordship yesterday.


Considering that their prices seem to be on a par with Franklins, it was quite disappointing.


We both had the veggie pie.


The pie itself was delicious (as was the sticky toffee pudding).


The vegetables were awful.


The roast potatoes tasted weird and as if they had been reheated more than once. They were slightly redeemed by thyme, which disguised the taste a bit.


The carrots had a strange texture and were oddly cut, and looked as if they had come from some sort of cheap catering pack.


The green beans were ok, though presumably either frozen or imported, but most of the veg on the plate were frozen peas.


If I am paying this sort of price, I expect freshly cooked seasonal vegetables. It's not as if the shops aren't full of fresh carrots, kale, cabbage etc at the moment.


We had given The Lordship a second chance after a truly awful meal there when it had just opened, but sadly I don't think we will be eating there again.


And yes, we did feed back our views to staff at the time.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
