It’s a staple of English cuisine: a Sunday roast filled with savory meat, rich gravy, Yorkshire pudding, potatoes and roasted vegetables. Both comforting and delicious, a Sunday roast sees countless restaurants across the country vie for the best version of the dish. And in London, there’s no shortage of restaurants serving this special dish on Sundays. But some are sure to impress more than others. In fact, we’ve compiled six restaurants in London you won’t want to miss for a true and indulgent Sunday roast.
Located in the heart of the City of London, diners here are treated to lavish meals in the vast vaults beneath The Royal Exchange. The Libertine boasts a designated Sunday menu sure to get mouths watering. Think dry-aged sirloin of beef basted with garlic and thyme butter, free-range chicken cooked to perfection on the bone, and Lincolnshire squash. Each of these dishes are served with rosemary roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, maple-glazed carrots, confit garlic greens, parsnip puree and red-wine gravy. It can’t get any better than this.
Dine beneath ornate and gilded ceilings and elegant lighting in this beautiful brasserie, found within St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. But the true star of the show here is its Sunday roast. Aptly named the Grand Sunday, highlights of this restaurant’s Sunday menu include a whole rare breed chicken complemented with kale and lemon. Other must-try dishes include Navarin of lamb, turnips, carrots and salsa verde, as well as poached pears and spiced lamb croquettes.
Set within the iconic Claridge’s hotel in Mayfair, Claridge’s Restaurant is a fine-dining restaurant sure to wow any day of the week. But its Sunday offerings go above and beyond. Spoil yourself with roasted Herefordshire rib of beef with horseradish puree, Yorkshire pudding and gravy; Norfolk black leg chicken for two with truffle stuffing; and grilled monkfish tail with roasted cauliflower and pickled turnip. For the table, complete the Sunday roast experience with roasted potatoes, glazed carrots, seasonal greens, creamed cabbage and bacon, cauliflower and cheese, and gravy.
Make for The Boundary in Shoreditch for a trendy Sunday meal. With its own designated Sunday menu, all eyes should make for the Sunday Roast section, where roast beef with homemade horseradish sauce, roast chicken with sage stuffing, roast pork belly and even a vegetarian roast await. All of these savory roasts come with duck-fat roasted potatoes, honey-glazed carrots, cauliflower and cheese, seasonal greens, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy.
Sit within a converted, 19th-century Covent Garden townhouse and enjoy elevated British comfort food. Accompanied by soundtrack jazz music, the restaurant’s Sunday menu offers tasty classics like roast sirloin and horseradish, roast chicken and dill mayonnaise, and roasted stone bass with braised rainbow chard and chorizo crumb. Cora Pearl’s stunning Sunday roast dishes are accompanied by crispy potatoes, carrots, Yorkshire pudding and more.
If you’re tied down to a specific area of London, Hawksmoor is the way to go for a Sunday roast, as the steakhouse brand can be found in several locations across the city, including Seven Dials, Spitalfields, Knightsbridge and more. Already acclaimed for its elevated steak dishes, Hawksmoor’s Sunday Roast offerings cannot be understated. All meat cooks first on real charcoal before finishing in the oven. The go-to option is the slow roast rump served with beef dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, greens, roasted shallots and garlic, and lashings of bone marrow and onion gravy. Your tastebuds are in for a real treat here.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
