As the days grow colder and a little gloomier, a Sunday roast is by far the best thing to keep you feeling warm and cosy on a weekend.

Having a brilliant home cooked roast in a welcoming pub that has a great atmosphere can make that meal even more special.

Lewisham has plenty of options to choose from and the News Shopper team are here to bring you the greatest according to Google and Tripadvisor reviews.

While we cannot promise that these roasts will be better than your mum’s or your gran’s - they are definitely worth a try.

 

Here are our top five places in the Lewisham borough for Sunday dinners:

 

The Fat Walrus - 44 Lewisham Way

A modern “hip and cool” pub that serves “belly-bursting” Sunday Roast portions. This venue is rated a 4.4 on Google Maps. It interior includes mood lighting, exposed brickwork and comfy booths. The pub even has its own resident dog named Trouble.

A Google reviewer says: “Had the most delicious Sunday roast yesterday.

“Everything was really well cooked and very tasty but I must say the beef was cooked to perfection.

“Staff really friendly and welcoming.

“I look forward to my next trip to the Fat Walrus. Thank you so much.”

 

The Talbot - 2 Tyrwhitt Rd, London

This relaxed gastropub in Brockley has a classy energy. If you are looking for something more on the finer side this might be the pick for you. Choose from beef, loin chop, chicken or a tasty nut roast. Apparently the pub has been “beautifully revamped inside and out.” This is another 4.4 on Google.

One review reads: “Lovely pub, best in the area by far.

“Always friendly staff and adorable landlady.

“Excellent pizzas and roast dinners.”

 

Rose Pub and Kitchen - 272 New Cross Rd, London SE14 6AA

A modern pub serving Sunday roasts with all the trimmings. It has a great vegetarian option and also has other meals on its Sunday menu in case you have a family member or friend who somehow would prefer to have something other than a lovely roast. People praise the good atmosphere and friendly staff.

A Google reviewer said: "Best Sunday roast I've had in ages.

"Brought my daughter and we are both vegetarian and the Beetroot Wellington was absolutely delicious. 

"The Yorkshire puddings are worth the visit alone.

"We would love to have tried the desserts but were too full of lovely roast. Will definitely be back."

 

The Lord Northbrook - 116 Burnt Ash Rd, London SE12 8PU

Another cosy Victorian pub offering good Sunday grub. Customers praise both the flavour and sizes of the Sunday roasts along with the exceptional customer service. People describe it as a “decent modern local” with a lovely relaxing atmosphere.

A reviewer said: “Really an excellent Sunday roast.

“Had the beef both times and you get two huge thick pieces, and the accompaniments are lovey.

“Friendly service, food comes super quick, and you can book online.”

 

The Brookmill - 65 Cranbrook Rd, London SE8 4EJ

People love the beer garden at this Deptford pub so if the weather is not too cold, maybe it is worth braving the outdoors and sticking the heat lights on. The pub boasts “focus on fresh products, a large vegan offer and fabulous Sunday roast.”

A Google review reads: “Lovely pub with great indoor and outdoor space.

“Amazing food and best roast dinner I have had in a long while.

“The Yorkshire pudding, just wow. - It rocked!”
