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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
