The Jugged Hare, Barbican
This week we (being Alice, Matthieu, Sebastian, Darren, Francoise, Nick and Sue) stayed local and went to the Jugged Hare by the Barbican on the corner of Silk Street and Chiswell Road, owned by the same people as our all time favourite The Gun, The Well, The Botanist and the Chiswell Dining Rooms. First, what […]
The Electricity Showroom – Hoxton/A Room in Leith – Edinburgh
Something new for all the Quest fans – 2 reviews at the same time, with Claire Bear and her brood in Edinburgh hitting A Room in Leith, with Darren, Francoise, Roland and Vera with Bethany, and newcomers Alice, and Mattieu going to the Electricity Showroom in Hoxton Square. The venue for the Scottish part of […]
The Haven Arms, Ealing
Introduction This weeks quest sees us return to Ealing, the old stomping ground of BestSundayRoast blogger John and, given this was the third weekend in a row Andy and Asami had been there, possibly their new home. Acton’s loss is Ealing’s gain and all that. And joining us on this quest are Andy and Asami, […]
The Sands End, Fulham
We are back on the trail for the perfect Sunday roast, and this week we find ourselves returning to the south west of the city and the much vaunted Sands End. Joining us for his second quest in a row is Durban’s own mischievous pixie Duncan, his better half Erin for her first roast, Adam, […]
The Windmill On The Common, Clapham
This week is something a little different, a hotel with a pub and dining room attached. Although, to be honest, it was hard to see where the hotel stopped and the pub started when reading about the Windmill on the Common. http://www.windmillclapham.co.uk/ Heading to the south of Clapham Common this week are Darren and Frankie (suffering […]
The Cock Tavern (Formerly known as the Cock and Hen) Fulham (Second Visit)
With people and plans going awry for this week’s roast we decided to take a short trip down Memory Lane to the Cock and Hen in Fulham. You may remember Cock Month became Cock and Bull Month due to the poor quality of pubs with Cock in the name, with the Cock and Hen in […]
The Duke of Wellington, Marylebone
After a short break for Yuletide festivities we are on the bandwagon again. The best Sunday Roast in London is on our agenda and the first venue in the headlights is The Duke of Wellington in Marylebone. Joining us on the quest is a big group consisting of Claire, Pinar (back from Paris for the […]
The Annexation of the Bar Tab – A lesson in cooling any tension
It has been talked about a lot in small pockets, and this year we are going to enforce the separation of the bar bill. It makes a lot of sense as many of the ever-changing group do not drink or do not drink as much as others. While I am personally happy to enjoy two […]
Out with the Old, in with the New, a Winner, and a plan
So Happy New Year to all the followers of The Quest for the Perfect Sunday Roast. In 2011 we visited a lot of wonderful pubs across this great city. We found Yorkshires that did yield to the fork, we gained recognition from several TV companies and welcomed new friends to the group. While there will […]
The Narrow, Wapping
This week we made last minute plans to get together with friends who are not going to be around for much of the oncoming weeks. With Roland, Vera and Baby Bethany states bound we decided to head to one of their local haunts for a spot of Sunday roast lunch; Gordon Ramsey’s The Narrow in […]
