Best Roast Dinner In North London

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 Lord Southampton, Kentish Town

Loved: The gravy was absolutely banging - proper meat stock thick gravy. And lots of it.

Loathed: 10 minutes more and the roast potatoes would have been perfect. Carrots/parsnip a tad too crunchy for personal tastes.

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.
