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 [...]
Another Clip Show
Don’t you hate clip shows? You know the ones, a season summary, where the show’s characters look back on happenings over the year using clips from previous episodes to tell a story? I always felt jipped by that. At Christmas we would sit and watch a show (The blank Christmas Special) and shake our heads [...]
The Clarendon, Notting Hill
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Claire, Happy Birthday to you! This week to celebrate Claire’s birthday, and with the return of Lindsay from the US, we are once more heading West to Notting Hill and this week’s venue The Clarendon. I actually prompted this as a choice having read the review from [...]
The Princess Victoria, Shepherds Bush
I never quite got the Princess Bride thing. I am sorry. I have seen it. I remember it. But I never found the need for a repeat performance, until I can quote it word for word, verbatim. “My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.” Um, okay. I may seem to be [...]
The Quest For a Sunday Roast Certificates
It was always our plan to award certificates to our best scoring roast venues. Here are the two I have created for the winners of the first two years. With the wonderful Red Lion and Sun winning this year… they probably only have to fend off 4 more venues to win their own coveted award.
