Had an outstanding Sunday lunch here. Portion size is very large. Meal for a day for me. Tried both roast pork and beef. Both excellently prepared with a large selection of vegetables, tasty gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Price is very reasonable given the quality of the meal. The bar is quiet on a Sunday since it’s in the middle of the city. Easy to reach location with the Barbican Elizabeth line exit opposite the bar. They have a Go group meeting on Monday night - kids and adults welcome. A special thanks to Cameron for providing very good service for our visit. Very highly recommended.
