good places for sunday lunch

Nowt like living dangerously.. ;) Anyway.. the Lamb & Flag good trad Sunday Roast available upstairs, well priced, and with a nice 'country pub' feel to the place.. And real ales.. yum, yum.
 
lamb & flag is great, i know it well, but i can't be arsed to traipse into town on the weekend :p
camberwell is about as far afield as i'm willing to go.

I have not, I was asking... and I've got my answer by the sound of it!


my parents had a dreadful experience there while they were cat-sitting for us (when we were in paris) - they got their starters ok but the main course order just seemed to disappear into a black hole in the kitchen; they waited over an hour and ended up throwing in the towel, paid for what they'd had and went and got fish and chips instead. i wouldn't have bothered paying for the starters, if it had been me, but my parents are crap at complaining!

anyway, the P-E are clearly a bunch of incompetent rip-off fuckwits and i certainly won't be bothering to darken their doors.
 
Treat yourself to The Ivy, £21.50 for 3 courses and coffee and the nicest Sunday Lunch I have ever had. But you don't have to have the lunch, you can order 1 course al la carte like Shephards Pie for about a tenner.

Beautiful looking restaurant too.

i don't think Photo would like the Ivy :p
"they're looking at me funny ... " :eek:

Fuck 'em, your money is as good as anybody elses

It was suprisingly lacking in bullshit when I was there.

My mum was over on a visit and I took her there. I was dreading it but it was so good, I booked it for my wifes birthday.

Baltic is next on my list - for my birthday probably.

Baltic's one of my favourite places to eat and drink in London. Tis bloody marvellous and I cant recommend it highly enough. Theres also a great boozer right next door, The Ring which has been refurbished recently and is really cosy.
 
the garrison on bermondsey st is a very stylish old boozer with a brilliant food menu. equally the bermondsey kitch and the hartley are good too...

I had heard talk of poor service there. Hmm.

People do rave about Baltic, must try it one day.

I've been to both recently & they are indeed very good - but I got the impression that the Bermondsey Kitchen wasn't a particularly good option for vegetarians. I went with omnivorous friends (I'm very omnivorous myself, would probably eat the table given half a chance :o :D ) but quickly bagged the idea of a return visit with my veggie partner......

My friend works at The Crown and Goose in Camden and they literally do the best sunday roast I have ever had. It's a cosy, quite vibrant pub slightly wanky but you have to forgive it for that as the food is wickid. They do huge portions, a mountain of food on a plate, but you have to pay the price for perfection. Its about 9 squid for a roast.

120 RMB sounds a price worth paying for a proper roast right now! I'd pay 9 quid and I'm on a chinese salary!

Incidently, the worst sunday roast I have ever had was at Man in the Moon pub in Chalk Farm, stale pees, small portions, sick fatty tasteless meat :eek:

Anyways, hope that helps, sorry bout the rambling.

What do you expect at wetherspoons?
 
a place i like is the Snooty Fox in which i think is Grosvenor Avenue near Canonbury overland station. the meat is normally really nice but you dont get that many vegetables with it. quite a nice relaxed atmosphere and kid friendly.

My experience of places like this is they don't look at anyone funny. They might be thinking all thoughts of nasty things about you, but you'd never know through the well-trained charming and efficient veneer :D

ok, looking for somewhere that does food all afternoon on sundays, somewhere nice and central as it has to be accessible from both north and south london, probably somewhere informal and pub-ish and not too pricey, rather than a restaurant-y place, and preferably somewhere we can stay and chat over a couple of pints after eating.
oh and the food has to be good :D :D ;)

anyone got any recommendations?

Lennie's just off Shoreditch high street is great for sunday lunch, only serves till about 3pm though. Lennie's 6 Calvert Avenue, E2 7JP
 
Try the Kings Arms in Roupell Street, SE1 just over the road & past the Union Jack Club from Waterloo tube..

You took the suggestion right out of my mouth :D It's a well cosy pub with an open fire in the winter. I've never been in there on a Sunday though - what's the food like?
 
Something different try the Czech Club in West Hampstead. Be warned its not veggie friendly last time I was there (along time ago) the sandwich board outside a few weeks ago had roast goose and roast boar on it. If they still have it used to have great imported Gambrinus.
