Sunday roasts in London: a local's favourites

Sunday roasts in London: a local's favourites

There are few traditions more quintessentially British than the classic Sunday roast. This meal is a must if you're in London on a Sunday - whether you're in a cute garden in the summer or bundled up in the winter. And these are my favourites. The list is short because I keep going to them over and over ๐Ÿ˜Š

I LOVE coming here in the winter - especially right before Christmas. The lamb roast is amazing!

The Albion

I love this pub! Both the garden in the summer and the dining room in the winter are absolute vibes. Make sure to save room for the sticky toffee pudding!

The Duke of Richmond - Hackney
@awaywithalbs
Brilliant neighbourhood pub and restaurant with a terrace. This place epitomises local East London vibes. And my favourite part? 50% off food every Friday from 12;2:30pm for groups up to 6 people :)

A lovely little spot just off Regent's Canal in the heart of Islington with a cute garden. Great vibes inside and chilled ones outside.

Prince George

Something I love about this spot: if you're feeling indecisive / hungry then you can try a bit of everything by ordering a mixed meat roast (beef, chicken, pork belly) or a mixed veggie roast (cauliflower cheese, seed)!

The Island Queen
@awaywithalbs
Another great Islington pub with high ceilings and a dark wood interior. The roasts are particularly great value for money!

The Virgin Queen

Great corner spot just down the road from Broadway Market - one of my favourite streets in East London. Particularly like sitting outside with a cold radler or shandy!

West London

The Fox and Pheasant
@awaywithalbs
A brilliant spot in Chelsea with cosy, charming decor and an amazing glass-ceiling terrace where I'd totally recommend enjoying your roast. The exterior is absolutely adorable too. And the homes on the street...omg!

South London

The Mayflower Pub
@awaywithalbs
A hidden gem and my first local pub when I moved here in 2015. The location from where the Mayflower ship set sail in 1620 for the United States! It's in a very quiet neighbourhood far removed from the hustle and bustle / foot traffic that's typical in the center of the city. Recommended if you're looking for a more local feel. The inside decor has so much character and there's a small wooden deck at the back that overlooks the Thames.
