One Lombard street does a good roast and it has bottomless sides, gravy and drinks (wine beer and bloody Mary’s). Sunday funday with no extra gravy surcharge and no mandated number of roast potatoes.

What makes it worth a visit? Some mixed reviews on Google Maps!

Please can you review the hangover bowl roast at Lagom! Also as a Northerner who has recently moved here I am severely disappointed by how expensive roast are in London. Do you have any cheap recommendations near Bermondsey ?

Hello fellow northerner and welcome to the world of £30 roast dinners 🙂
I did a guide on affordable (but good) roasts a couple of years ago, it should still be valid – https://rdldn.co.uk/affordable-roast-dinners-in-london-2023/. The Gladstone Arms would be your closest – though it’s Indian flavoured, so not exactly traditional.
I went to Lagom, yikes, pre-pandemic, and found it excessively salty – https://rdldn.co.uk/eat-lagom-hackney-church-brew-co-hackney/. Didn’t know they were doing roasts again. I know their meat is gorgeous so I wouldn’t want to put you off going…my review is from 6 years ago! If you do go, let me know what you think please 😉

Would love to read your review of the recentlyish renovated The Royal Forest in Chingford.

1 hour and 40 minutes away from where I live…I’m going to need some evidence that I should add this to my to-do list!
By Alison Garner on January 25th, 2025 at 7:40 PM:
Please review the Chequers in Walthamstow, my personal fave is the beef – must have the Cauliflower Cheese.
I await with roast bated breath.

Gosh if only everyone on the tube had roast bated breath…the dreams. Consider it on my to-do list, I do like a visit or three to Walthamstow.
