The 2025 edition of the Top 50 Gastropubs has been announced.

But can you get a decent roast dinner at any of them?

TL;DR Yes. But not all of them...

The Harwood Arms, Fulham

Loved: Well, the Cote De Boeuf was sensational, the vegetables all excellent with different flavours, service superb and the yorkie was stuffed.

Loathed: The yorkie was burnt and overdone...but apart from that, such a top notch meal.

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 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 Bull & Last, Dartmouth Park

Loved: The succulent pork belly and the imagination shown, especially for the Choucroute. And the whole venue was glorious.

Loathed: Roast potatoes were total crud. Also, £6.80 for a pint. Ouch.

The Bull And Last Sunday Roast

The Drapers Arms, Islington

Loved: Only the pork belly impressed, but boy did it impress. Sensational.

Loathed: Roast potatoes. Yes I say this every week.
