I agree with the folk at The Lady Ottoline; this is the best Sunday roast in Bloomsbury. I’d be tempted to go further and say London.
David, Laura and I enjoyed a very hearty roast there on New Year’s Day. I started with a flavoursome, hearty scotch broth with horseradish dumplings. We then had the choice of several roasts – pork, turkey, beef, chicken to share, or even a mix of three! All served with excellent veg, and a Yorkshire pud. I can report back that the aged sirloin beef was perfect. And the rhubarb crumble was a nice finish to the meal.
The pub itself has a lovely Victorian feel with dark timber, and well decorated with fir wreaths for Christmas (no tinsel in sight), and was buzzing and full at 3pm. The service was good (and knowledgeable on the menu and wine) and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food.
I intend to while away many more Sunday afternoons there. Or even pop in for a mid-week drink.
