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.

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 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.
