Best Roast Dinner In North London
The Red Lion & Sun, Highgate
Loved: Roast potatoes were actually excellent, suckling pig was dreamy, the jus really grew on me - it aged really well. Great pub too.
Loathed: Small plates, tiny jus thimbles and blunt knives. Nothing about the food itself though!

The Black Lion, Kilburn
Loved: The gravy. THE gravy. Gloriously thick, meaty and improved a very good roast. Roasties pretty crispy, veg good, and a gorgeous ceiling. Oh, and very affordable.
Loathed: Lamb was good enough but improvable. The pigs in blankets (which were a side) had been cremated.

The Baring, Islington
Loved: Everything, more or less. The inside of the yorkie was soooo fluffy, and the beef was sexual.
Loathed: Well the roasties could have done with a little chuffing, and the yorkie was burnt - and tasted so in parts.

The Duke Of Hamilton, Hampstead
Loved: The leg of lamb was proper wow. Decent effort on roasties and yorkie too, really good beer choice for a local pub.
Loathed: Cabbage was a bit bland, carrots were good but didn't fit right.

The Alma, Canonbury
Loved: 5 roast potatoes - actually crispy on the outside. And the red wine jus was more of a gravy - notably delicious.
Loathed: Hmmm. Well the yorkie didn't rise and more than one piece of broccoli would have been good. Struggling to moan here.
