The liver. Second largest organ in your body after your skin…read more That's why, when you eat, you get hot. That huge organ is working overtime, sorting the fats from the proteins, sending vitamins this way and that. Helping your hair curl, your lungs fill with air and your brain compute splitting three ways. And they say Sunday is a day of rest. Not for the liver it isn['t. Not if you visit the Anglesea. My liver has sorted many a protein. But none I doubt as gleefully as the plate of molecules set before me at the Anglesea. My liver sent messages to my brain telling me to stop ingesting said ingredients on the plate. But my brain translated that to my mouth to simply ask for more gravy. The friendly server dutifully obliged. When my better half's mouth finally obeyed her liver and uttered the words, "I can't eat any more" my arms completely disregarded my liver's pleadings, reaching over to dust off her left over succulent beef. Every bit as good as my pork belly and only a firm beef eater or pork belly lover would err on the side of one against the other. Pork belly is a much abused cut at the Sunday pub lunch. I had a pork belly roast lunch the other day and I chewed through it like I was chewing through my 10 year old Adidas shell toes I can't bear to part with. But let me state for the record. This pork belly. Sensational. Crackling that does as the name describes. No chew. Pure crackle. Unctuous layers of rendered fat beneath. And tender strands of meat to chew on. Three layers of absolute heaven. Surrounded by gravy of perfect viscosity. Which you can ask for more of. Steamed veg that crunch and snap. And roast potatoes thick of shell and fluffy of innard. These are better than I can do at home. And they are pumping them out by the second here in the busy kitchen. A production line of perfection and the standard bearer for all Sunday lunch roast potatoes. These are the ones. The Anglesea is alive with people all day and getting a table o Sunday can be tricky. My advice is book whatever time they have. We took 4.30pm. The place was buzzing. The place, if you are cool enough to take your eyes off the pork belly, is full of old world charm. Lots of wood. Simple tables and chairs, quite tightly crammed in. A fire. Art on the walls. Higgledy piggledy and elegant all at once. The walls gently urging you to spend a little more on one of the good reds. Dust it off in your own time. This is lazy Sunday afternoon stuff and you won't be rushed. Give the liver a chance to regain its composure. The Anglesea has been packing locals and outsiders in for many years. And this is why. Roll me home and get The Antiques Roadshow on. Sundays have never tasted so good.

Apparently the only pub that has a Michelin Star in London. They recently got a star in 2026, so I…read morehad to try it! I liked that the Harwood Arms was right outside a residential area. A relief compared to the zoning laws I'm used to. The food was delicious too. I've never had food in a pub that was so good. They managed to nail all the dishes: The meat, fish, and the dessert. The high ball I ordered to wash it down was amazing too. Our waitress was extremely professional as well. Even when the restaurant started getting crowded at around 8pm. I'd say the Harwood Arms is probably one of the better Michelin Star restaurants I've had the privilege of dining at.

Listen, every pub and its mother does a Sunday Lunch. Only a handful are any good though…read more The Harewood Arms is the standard bearer. Fact. Tucked away in a quaint Fulham side street, the Harewood Arms has long since had a reputation for culinary excellence. So much so I'm not sure you can really call it a pub any more, that would be cheating. It's also the only 'pub' to have a Michelin star. Here's why. The Sunday Lunch here is off the scale excellent. They have managed to take all the things that make a Sunday roast a Sunday roast - the ridiculous excess, the gratifying satiation, the full on madness of the spread - and add enough fitness to make something truly memorable. Opulence abounds. Peacock feathers for chandeliers, massive gilded mirrors, the smells and sounds only proper wood panelling can give you, high corniced ceilings, space in abundance, a few stuffed animals in the mix, a sweeping bar. Victorian exuberance in every corner. The welcome is warm. The table is intimate. The food is proper. A thick paper menu adorned with curly writing tells us we're not leaving good old Blighty today. Completely unnecessary starters are ordered. Venison Scotch Egg from the 'snack' section. Grilled Scallop from the starters list. The Scotched Egg is moist and meaty with a real crunch to the crust. It comes with a punchy chutney and it's a delight but, to warn you, it's not a snack. 'Hearty' would be the word except I'm sure the heart might complain at being overruled by the eyes and belly. Scallops is pretty as a picture, presented in the shell and adorned with cucumber, shish and seaweed. We had already ordered soda bread and whipped butter and already we were wondering if we should order a crane winch to get us out of the place. Two thick slabs of nutty soda bread with butter a lot lighter than the feathers surrounding us. The roast itself is presented on a large board which groans under the abundance of its contents. It's a sight. Huge Yorkshires are delved straight into and the surprise comes when you meet the beef ragu encased inside. Luxury and decadence in abundance. We ordered the Cote De Boeuf (about the only thing that deviates from the Britishness) and it comes sliced into large chunks so you get the burnished black crust and the velvet red inside. Broccoli makes a pretty bedding plant on the board. The all important roasties have the all important crust and fluff within. We picked away but not before making sure staff were happy to give us a doggy bag. Once that was confirmed we were able to relax somewhat. The idea that any of this would go to waste is enough to induce a panic attack. Given that this is a place to hunker down, the wine menu is great, offering plenty of interesting choice and something for most pockets. Prices are no more than you'd expect - which is to say, it's not cheap - a meal and an experience worth every penny. Booking months in advance is essential if you want Sunday Lunch. Wandering in after a good Sunday walk on the off chance will end in disappointment. This is not a pub. It's a celebration of the heights the great British Sunday Roast can reach.

This would undoubtedly be our regular restaurant if we lived nearby. We had oxtail croquettes and scotch eggs to start.

Sorry, not feeling it…read more And that's nothing to do with my fear of strange hounds. I went to this gastropub after a few recommendations from those in the know, so I was a little unsure that just turning up on a Friday night without a reservation would be permissible. At the very least I expected one other person eating there. Nope. In hindsight, I'm not too surprised. It might have been my rain-induced soppy mood. Or it might have been the fact that the pub splits on entry into a restaurant on the right and a pub on the left, which I found a little odd. Or maybe it was the young parents and their screaming kids that acted as an unwanted soundtrack throughout the meal. But probably it was the fact that everything on the menu was twice as expensive as it should have been, simply for the fact that it was runner-up in an award for gastropubs last year. The staff weren't particularly friendly or knowledgeable (they didn't know how big the dishes were or what was in them). There was not a thing on the menu that was simple pub food. My risotto (the only thing a strict vegetarian could order) had the word truffle in its fancy title, meaning it cost nearly £14. And it was too runny. When I walked in I expected, given its rep, that they'd do simple, classic pub food extremely well for a decent price. What I was disappointed to discover was that while the food was alright, it felt like they'd decided to do too much and be too fancy as a result of accolades and thereby forgetting that they are, in fact, a pub. Not a Michelin starred eatery. Forty quid (with no alcohol) for two courses for two people later, we left for the last time.

Meal: Dinner, dine in…read more All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 8 Food to Spend Value: 8 Quality of Service: 8 Overall Rating: 8 It was my last night in London, and a group of coworkers were looking to go somewhere with great food. I am a sucker for gastropubs, and when searching for places in Hammersmith I noticed great reviews for The Stonemason's Arms. It also came highly recommended from one of the locals. They had a number of interesting sounding menu items, so we decided to head there for dinner. In true gastropub style, the menu is quite varied with some unique options. We decided to split one of the sharing boards and went for the Fish Board. It included Devon crab on toast, shell-on king prawns, London Porter smoked salmon, and mussels and clams. The Devon crab was essentially a crab spread on pieces of toast. Both the crab itself and the toast were tasty. The prawns had the "looking at you" vibe, complete with shell, eyes, etc. This meant there was a bit of work getting them ready to eat, but they were also done quite well with a very nice flavor. The smoked salmon was quite nice, with a good smoky flavor that really brought out the salmon. The mussels and clams were a bit different and almost tasted poached. I was expecting more of a boil, so they ended up not being my favorite, but they were still prepared quite well. Several of the mains sounded good, but after poring over the menu for a bit I finally settled on the lamb shoulder. It was a Hampshire lamb shoulder that had been slow braised for 12 hours and served over broccoli, tomatoes, and Jersey royals. The lamb was fall off the bone tender and had a great flavor. The accompaniments were also well-prepared and complemented the lamb nicely. I would have maybe liked the portion size to be a bit larger, but for the price it was quite good. I had room for dessert, and I decided to try the Treacle Tart, something I had never had before. It had a nice molasses flavor and finished off my dinner perfectly. The Stonemason's Arms has a bit of a fancier pub feel, with lots of beer options and quite the crowd as the night wore on. The service was great and very helpful in answering many of the questions we had. The food came out quickly and fresh, and the quality and bang for your buck was great. The Stonemason's Arms is quite a bit different than anywhere I have been in the US, but I quite enjoyed it and hope to return in the future.
