Where can you find the best roast potatoes in London?
Fear not, these are 5 of the restaurants/pubs in London that serve cracking roast potatoes. At least they did when I visited!
Blacklock, Shoreditch
Loved: Everything. It's the best roast in London - amazing gravy, great roasties, wonderful service.,
Loathed: Erm...too much food? I've had fluffier roasties...once or twice.

The Ladbroke Arms, Holland Park
Loved: The pork belly and cabbage were particularly sensational - like unimprovably superb. The roast potatoes and carrots were also excellent.
Loathed: Well...the Yorkie wasn't so good. Gravy I only liked as was more tomato-based than proper gravy.

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 Gipsy Queen, Kentish Town
Loved: Fresh, eggy and properly fluffy Yorkie, very good roasties, beef close to divine and thick gravy. Wow.
Loathed: Roast potatoes a bit done earlier, but still very good.

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.
