Loathed: Erm...too much food? I've had fluffier roasties...once or twice.

The Larkshall, Chingford
Loved: The beef brisket was BBQ heaven, absolutely stunning. Gorgeous gravy, excellent yorkie, sun was shining, Steady Rolling Man on tap.
Loathed: Nothing. Maybe it did sound a tad like Benidorm with the dog show, and the roast potatoes weren't crispy.

Blacklock, Canary Wharf
Loved: Best dessert in London, addictive gravy, pork loin that is illegally tender, banging roasties...so much to love here.
Loathed: I'm being picky, but the yorkie was respectable - not superb, I'm sure the gravy used to be even better, the cauliflower cheese wasn't quite as outstanding as previous, and service didn't quite have the pizazz that I've had before.

The Raglan, Walthamstow
Loved: The roasties were close to perfection, the lamb really flavoursome, the gravy excellent, the yorkie fluffy inside. Welcoming service too, felt like somewhere I could happily come back to.
Loathed: The lamb was a bit chewy in places, the knife wasn't suitable and the spring greens were a bit meh.

INIS, Hackney Wick
Loved: Delightful service, really flavoursome roast, cumin on the cabbage, decent drinks selection, excellent desserts.
Loathed: Nothing really - small improvements are possible, the top of the yorkie was a bit dry, the pork belly had a bit too much fat in the balance.
