When I first moved to the UK, I was baffled by the idea of a Sunday roast—Yorkshire pudding that isn’t a pudding, and roasted meat and vegetables. But now, I'm absolutely in love with it! Roasted vegetables drenched in beef gravy are my absolute favorite, and I adore the crispy yet soft Yorkshire pudding. If you're a fan of Sunday roast or eager to try the finest ones in London, here are my top picks from someone who has happily invested in countless Sunday roasts over the years.
Whether you're craving perfectly aged chops, rich gravies, or a beautifully charred steak, these top restaurants will absolutely satisfy your desires. Let’s dive into some of London’s best spots for a truly indulgent experience!
Rabbit British Bistro
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle South Kensington Area, the Rabbits is an intimate spot that knows how to treat a cut of meat right. With a menu that emphasises locally sourced meats, expect robust flavours, perfectly seared steaks, and a cozy ambiance that makes it perfect for a laid-back yet satisfying meal. The restaurant’s dedication to traditional butchery techniques ensures that every bite is packed with flavour. You will see British old gentleman visiting this area every Sunday!
Not recommended for vegetarian/vegan
The Quality Chop House
If you love classic British chops, The Quality Chop House is a must-visit. This place is so famous so it is still on my Want-to-go list, it's very hard to book this place. This historic spot, dating back to the 19th century, is famous for its succulent, perfectly cooked meat dishes and its iconic confit potatoes—arguably the best in the city. From their rich, flavourful lamb chops to the impeccably seasoned beef, every dish is prepared with precision. The atmosphere is warm, rustic, and undeniably British, making it the perfect place for a hearty meal. Can't wait to try it one day!
Blacklock Soho – Masters of the Grill (Vegetarian friendly)
This is my absolute favorite! With several branches across London, it's incredibly accessible and offers a hearty Sunday roast. Blacklock Soho is all about fire, smoke, and flavor. Specializing in charcoal-grilled meats, this restaurant delivers generous platters of lamb, beef, and pork grilled to perfection. Their all-in mixed grill is a crowd pleaser, featuring an assortment of juicy meats served with fluffy Yorkshire puddings and rich gravy. The highlight? Their Sunday roast is legendary, boasting towering plates of slow-cooked meat, crispy roast potatoes, and lashings of gravy. It's fantastic for vegetarians too, with a giant cauliflower option instead of meat.

The Hinds Head – Michelin-Starred Perfection
For those seeking a Michelin three-star experience, Hinds Head is a culinary destination worth the trip out of London. Part of the renowned Fat Duck Group, this restaurant offers a refined take on classic British cuisine. Their beef dish is outstanding, cooked to absolute perfection with a gravy that enhances every bite without overpowering it. Another highlight is the Scotch egg with a molten centre a beautifully executed dish that is both nostalgic and sophisticated. The attention to detail in every dish ensures a memorable dining experience. This one is far from London, but will offer you classic British cuisine experience not just Sunday Roast.

Pig & Butcher – Rustic Charm with a Unique Twist
Housed in a former small chapel, Pig & Butcher delivers some of the best charcoal-grilled meats in London. What sets it apart? The crispy fried breadcrumbs sprinkled on top of the meat, adding a unique textural contrast that soaks up the flavorful juices. The combination of charred meat, rich sauce, and crunchy topping makes for an unforgettable bite. As a bonus, their vegetable sides are unlimited, ensuring a well-balanced (but still indulgent) meal.
