Sunday Best

We’re famed for our traditional Sunday roast being the best in Westminster, and for good reason.

Tender cuts of British meats or varied veggie options, served alongside crispy roast potatoes, giant Yorkshire puddings, the best of the season’s vegetables and of course lashings of proper gravy. Start your day with one of our famous Bloody Marys, and kick back and relax while you wait for your roast to arrive.
