Central London is where some of the best and certainly the most expensive roast dinners in London can be found - though it has its fair share of disappointing roasts too.
These are the current best roast dinners in central London:
The George, The Strand
Loved: The plumpest, juiciest chicken, C.R.I.S.P.Y R.O.A.S.T P.O.T.A.T.O.E.S, the best cauliflower cheese dish in London and the wonderful parsnip mash with mustard seeds. This was just sooooo gorgeous a roast.
Loathed: Nothing. I guess the carrots and cabbage were only good rather than great.

Wood Street Bar & Restaurant, Barbican
Loved: Proper sexy, northern gravy. Unbeatable vegetables. Astounding flavour to meat. Yeah...delicious.
Loathed: Erm, the neighbours? The yorkie was a bit meh.

The Old Red Cow, Farringdon
Loved: Kale with garlic, one very large yorkie, sumptuous lamb and top notch gravy. Plus our waitress gave us a hug.
Loathed: Three out of four roasties were not crispy on the outside and all a little under-cooked in the middle.

Cora Pearl, Covent Garden
Loved: The place is gorgeous, the famous crispy potatoes deserve their fame, the yorkie was fluffy and the sirloin juicy.
Loathed: Well I didn't like the cushion on the chair, and beer choice was limited. Gravy watery but a good watery.

Blacklock, Soho
Loved: Gravy was excellent, roast potatoes were sex, cauliflower cheese was top notch, that cheesecake ohhhhhh...and some outstanding service
Loathed: Yorkshire pudding too crispy and a tad burnt, beef rump was good but not as special as expected.
