There’s nothing quite like a Sunday roas t to stir the soul, and in London , we’re positively spoilt for choice. From grand dining rooms with all the bells and whistles to cosy pubs delivering the kind of comfort food that could soothe even the weariest Londoner, the city is a roast lover’s playground. And yes, while the age-old debates rage on – should chicken come with Yorkshire puddings? Can you justify charging £100 for a roast? – there’s one thing we can all agree on: a good roast is worth its weight in gravy.
This isn’t just about meat and potatoes (though we’ve got plenty of that, too). It’s about the whole experience. Think lobster tail swapping places with lamb shank, Bloody Mary trolleys rolling up tableside, and the kind of puds that make you wish you’d skipped breakfast.
Whether you’re in search of Michelin-starred finesse, old-school charm or something that throws the rulebook on the fire – literally, in the case of Acme Fire Cult – there’s something here to tickle your fancy. We’ve done the hard yards, fork in hand, to bring you the very best. From Fitz’s impeccable bargain to Claridge’s once-in-a-blue-moon decadence, these roasts aren’t just meals – they’re events.
So, plan ahead, pick your spot and settle in. After all, nothing cures the Sunday scaries quite like a proper roast, and in London, proper is what we do best. Fitz’s brasserie, located in the Kimpton Fitzroy in Russell Square – a hotel designed by the same.
