A (Sunday) roast done well is like a masterpiece of succulent meat, balanced with a variety of…read moretasty vegetables topped with a well-matched gravy. Toby Carvery delivers this masterpiece every day. Granted I haven't tried it on every day of the week but I would be tempted to try if I lived nearer to this place. They spoil you with a choice gammon, roast beef, turkey or pork, or even a combination. The vegetables are also plentiful and fresh, whilst the pork scratchings were more crunchy than I'd imagine possible and the Yorkshire pudding light yet humungous. Their desserts are pretty awesome too. In other words, Toby Carvery provides an outstanding, good-value British roast if ever there was one.

We booked a table for 10 on Saturday 14 May to celebrate a 90th birthday (and an 83rd birthday on…read more15 May). Our last visit was pre -Covid about 18 months earlier. The vegetables and gravy were as good as ever. BUT the famous giant batter puddings were undercooked (soggy not crisp) and the servings of meat were very mean. Not one of our ten servings included a complete slice of meat (rolled beef, turkey, ham or pork (there was no lamb)); everyone's meat portions comprised very very thin bits and pieces spread out on the plate. The meat servings on the larger plates chosen by three guests were no larger thawn the others. The large plates simply accommodated more vegetables. Not one of our group of 10 was happy! These are admittedly difficult times of post-Covid and rising prices. The LAST thing a carvery should do is cut back on the meat portions especially whenh aiming to bring back regular, former-Covid customers.

The hot chocolate was certainly worth it - it's valrohna and basically the best I've ever had that wasn't the very thick Spanish/Italian variety (twss). It was also nice and warming on a crisp day, as were the heaters and thoughtful furry chair liners and blankets in the outside seating area. I was strongly recommended the brew special but actually I think I would have preferred something like my friend had - the chorizo folded eggs i.e. with a little more kick. The brew special is a classic combo of ham, cheese and pesto which I loved years ago but now wouldn't be my first choice. Still it was well executed with beautifully cooked poached eggs on sourdough bread. Our breakfast took a long time to come but the service was otherwise notably excellent - our server was attentive, friendly and helpful consistently, meaning we had constant water top ups, updates on the food situation and were able to get the bill quickly before our parking ran out.

I'm a huge fan of Bistro Union's sister restaurant Trinity.Chef Adam Byatt has gone for a…read moreneighbourhood bistro feel with his new venture. Located on the trendy Abbeville Road area of Clapham, he has certainly hit the nail on the head as far as what the local population want in terms of brunch offerings judging from the crowds there on the Sunday I visited I was happy that I booked a table for my first date with my girlfriend to avoid said crowds even though we were politely ejected from our table at 3pm There is an innovative lineup of dishes for brunch, reflecting the chef's penchant for British cuisine. The girlfriend and I decided to go with the small plates Well, Chef Byatt has done it again. Flavour is his watchword and we enjoyed a variety of dishes with clear, bold and distinctive flavours My favourite was the potted brown crab and the rabbit pate. Rich, round flavours with satisfying umami content. The black pudding sausage roll was a revelation - nice sausagemeat with black pudding filling with a thin layer of crispy pastry. Devils on horseback combined sweet prunes with salty bacon, a classic combo The only slight disappintment was that the mac n cheese could have done with more cheese We would have loved to have tried some dessert but ran out of time

So I came here weith two friends for Sunday brunch, and I ordered a roast duck whereas they ordered the Spanish omelette and bavette steak. (The bavette steak looked AMAZING by the way, I would definitely get that next time. The mushroom ketchup was also very unique, definitely worth a try.) We also got a round of bucks fizz/bloody mary. But then there was some miscommunication in the kitchen, so they brought out my friends' dishes but didn't bring mine out for more than 5 minutes after, so I had to ask about it, after which I was promised it in another 5 minutes. So in the meantime, they brought out a free large plate of chips. Then when my meal did come out, the chef came to personally apologize and offered us free ice cream after if we wanted any. The manager also came over a short while later and offered us another round of drinks on the house (we accepted of course). So at the end of the day, we got free sides, drinks, and dessert for a 10 minute delay. And the ice cream is SO good- we had marzipan and honeycomb and a berry vanilla, homemade and in the cutest little jar. Must have! Then after all that, they also took off the service charge from the bill! What unbelievable staff. The food is great but the staff definitely made the experience. Will definitely come back and hope to see the same people again!

I did eventually find out that this wasn't the case but nonetheless, the Bill's restaurant chain has gone from strength to strength and they've been popping up all over London Some friends and I popped in here for dinner before a movie at the Odeon next door. The restaurant is cleverly divided into areas by grills and you'll find produce that you can buy scattered around the restaurant The menu consists of British classics with modern twists, mainly with unusual ingredients. It is a well written menu and I can see why the restaurant is successful. By the way, they serve food al day from breakfast to afternoon tea to dinner We shared chicken liver parfait and deep fried calamari to start. Both were solid and a good start to the meal. Oh, forgot to mention an amazing chocolate brownie milkshake. Yup, read that, ignore the guilty thoughts of the calorie count and order one. It tastes as good as it sounds! For mains, it was caramelised pork belly, duck pie and fish pie. Again, all solid though the duck pie could have done with more duck. The most interesting dish was their version of eton mess served with mango and passion fruit rather than the usual strawberry. It was a genius re-imagination Bill's is a solid food destination

Yes, local and seasonal have become almost ubiquitous anywhere smarter than Starbucks (only because we can't grow coffee though, I suspect), but here the food is beautifully presented and tasty which is just as important to make it work. We went for a mid-week dinner which is an absolute bargain at £25 for 3 courses. My boyfriend ordered a la carte, essentially to be able to get cheese at the end. Everything was lovely - fantastic gnocchi in particular (though these may have stuck in my mind since my own pursuit of creating the perfect gnocchi has hit a brick wall and I can't get past just ok), with fresh wild mushrooms and some salady stuff. I think I had pork belly because it came with black pudding - my usual achilles heel for ordering - and it was a good not-too-heavy portion. Service was fast but not rushed, etc. etc. The spiral staircase to the toilets can be daunting after 2 glasses of wine. I do wish they'd make more of the bar though, it would be a lovely place to have a quiet drink methinks.
