Written by the Escorts Love team, who arrange bookings across London.
The short answer
The best Sunday roast in London can be found at Blacklock, Hawksmoor, The Harwood Arms, Quality Chop House and The Camberwell Arms, and you should book well ahead for any of them. A good roast has become a serious business here, and the top tables can go weeks in advance, so do not leave it to Saturday night.
Restaurants that do it brilliantly
Blacklock is the name that comes up most, thanks to its generous beef and its well-loved gravy, and the Good Food Guide named its Canary Wharf branch as a top pick for group dining. Hawksmoor, which has several London sites including Covent Garden, Borough and Spitalfields, serves a rib of beef that keeps steak lovers very happy. Quality Chop House in Clerkenwell offers a Sunday feast in an atmospheric Victorian dining room, and Sessions Arts Club does a lovely lunch in its grand former courthouse setting.
The great pubs
The Harwood Arms in Fulham holds a Michelin star in the 2026 guide, and is known for its game and its very good British cooking. The Camberwell Arms is popular for its sharing roasts for two, and the Canton Arms in Stockwell is known for a lamb shoulder that can feed a large table. West London offers The Mall Tavern in Notting Hill, where the gravy is reportedly unlimited, and The Blue Stoops in Kensington for hearty, classic plates. The Macbeth in Hoxton does something a little different, with a Portuguese-inspired roast chicken and piri-piri sauce.
Getting a table
Book as far ahead as you can, particularly from autumn through to spring, when roasts are at their most popular. Many pubs have timed sittings, so ask how long you have the table for. Menus change weekly or with the seasons and some cuts sell out, so arrive on time and check prices directly. If you want to find something closer to home, look at local pubs in Notting Hill and other neighbourhoods. For a cosy date, a long Sunday lunch beside a fire is hard to beat, and our date night ideas guide has more suggestions. Dinner dates are also listed on many of our ladies' profiles, if you would enjoy some company at the table.
