HAWKSMOOR – PERFECT ROAST BEEF | SPITALFIELDS | KNIGHTSBRIDGE | BOROUGH | GUILDHALL, CITY OF LONDON |

Our nearest accommodation – all our Central London and West End apartments

If you love roast beef and large portions of food, then Hawksmoor may just be the perfect place for you. They have had a fantastic restaurant in Spitalfields for years, but they now have further restaurants in Knightsbridge, Borough and the Guildhall in the City of London too! This means that everyone can indulge in their fantastic food without having to travel across London to get there. The roast beef is cooked over an open fire on a spit and is accompanied by delicious duck fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, greens, roasted shallots & garlic and lashings of bone marrow & onion gravy (yum!). They do a delicious roast chicken and fish/lobster alternatives are also available. If you are accompanied by non meat-eaters – don’t fear! They have roast vegetables with Cashel Blue cheese for veggies to enjoy. To make the most of this experience you should go in hungry, however if you’re not all that hungry we would recommend sharing one dish! This is a place not to be missed!

 

THE PARADISE BY WAY OF KENSAL GREEN | KENSAL GREEN |

Our nearest accommodation – Portobello Road or Ladbroke Grove

If you are looking for somewhere with a variety of roasts available, then this could be the perfect place for you! There are beef, chicken, lamb and pork belly roasts available along with all the trimmings. There is even a vegetarian nut roast pie available for non meat-eaters who want to be treated. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with bird cages and wooden tables accompanied by cosy chairs in the bar area, setting the perfect mood (I guess they call it paradise for a reason!). Kensal Green is north of Kensington and although it may seem a little bit further out than some of the other places on this list, it is definitely worth the journey!

THE MARQUIS CORNWALL | RUSSELL SQUARE |

Our nearest accommodation – Fitzrovia

This fantastic pub is located in the heart of Bloomsbury. Bloomsbury is a lovely modern and trendy area that is the perfect place to enjoy a roast with great friends or family. The pub is furnished with wooden tables and has a traditional yet modern pub feel to it. There is a dining area as well as a bar area where you can enjoy some drinks after your meal. On their Sunday menu, you will find pork with crackling, West Country roast beef, Shropshire chicken and an interesting vegetarian nut roast which consists of cashew nuts, peanuts, almond & walnuts, cheddar, vegetables & herbs. All of the roasts come with all the trimmings and are sure to enlighten the entire group’s taste buds. It would be a real shame to miss out on this gem while you are in London!

 

THE DUKE ON THE GREEN | PARSONS GREEN|

The Duke on the Green, also known as just ‘The Duke’, is a fantastic cosy little pub. There is a restaurant section if you prefer to enjoy a more peaceful meal but you can also choose to have your food in the bar area. The Sunday lunch menu is fantastic with twice cooked belly of pork, Roast West Country Rump of Beef and the Roast leg of Lamb being the stars of the menu. There are vegetarian options available, including a spinach, sun blushed tomato, artichoke & ricotta filo pastry parcel. The interior is traditional with a mix of different furniture and there are even some cosy cinema seats! There is also a lovely fireplace which is perfect for the winter season. This is a great place to enjoy a lovely traditional Sunday lunch!

ROAST |LONDON BRIDGE |

Our nearest accommodation – Covent Garden

One place that we cannot miss off this list is Roast. With a name like this, you could only expect exceptionally good roasts, and that is exactly what you get! This is more of a restaurant than a pub and although the price tag may be slightly higher, it is most definitely worth every single penny. Everything on the menu is exceptional but to name just a few; they have a delicious roast Swainson house chicken, slow-roasted free-range pork belly, slow-roasted Scottish blackface lamb and for vegetarians there is a White bean and spinach casserole with a baked duck egg. The menu is subject to change so do call or check the website in advance for exact dishes.

 

THE PIG AND BUTCHER | ISLINGTON|

Our nearest accommodation – Fitzrovia

This is another wonderful pub with a fantastic selection of roasts. On the menu they have incredibly inventive dishes such as a roast butternut squash with gorgonzola, pumpkin red onion and fried sage which is perfect for vegetarians. They also have chicken, fish, beef and pork options available, accompanied by all the traditional roast trimmings. The pub is located near Angel tube station which is near Kings Cross. Although not the most centrally positioned pub, it is perfect if you are using connections to or from Kings Cross. Sometimes it really is worth exploring the outskirts of central London and this pub is the perfect excuse to venture a bit further out.
