Best place for a Sunday Roast?

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

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.

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.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
