The Audley Public House, Mayfair

Situated in the heart of Mayfair, The Audley Public House boasts not only a decadent roast but also a rich history. Built in 1888 by renowned English theatre architect Thomas Verity, this Victorian establishment reopened in 2022 under the guidance of Artfarm and Parisian studio Laplace. The menu, delivered by British chef Jamie Shears, is as distinguished as the surroundings. Highlights include the melt-in-your-mouth cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire puddings laced with pulled beef.

For a truly special occasion, Claridge’s is unparalleled. This iconic hotel, with its roots in the 1800s, has long been a staple of luxury in London, even playing host to members of the royal family. From crystal chandeliers to plush seating, you would be hard-pressed to find somewhere more sophisticated serving a roast than within the art deco grandeur of Claridge’s.

The Tamil Crown, Islington

Spice up your roast at The Tamil Crown in Islington, where you’ll find a union of British tradition and South Indian flair. Expect the blueprints of the traditional roast enlivened by bold flavours, such as Yorkshire puddings swapped for flaky rotis and boiled cabbage transformed into a fragrant coconut stir-fry.
