What’s known as a Sunday lunch in the rest of the world is a Sunday roast in London.

There's nothing quite like it. And, if you love your Sunday lunch, the Londoners take them even more seriously.

When in London, you’re sure not to have a shortage of ideas, starting with their pubs. 

Unlike a dinner restaurant, pubs are great for Sunday lunch because of their more laid-back nature.

It's not as ‘wild’ as a bar per se, but also not as formal as a dinner restaurant.

You can have your Sunday beer, paired with all the offerings a pub will have – consistent with what the Brits love for their Sunday roast.

Yes, even herbivores or vegans can enjoy a good Sunday roast, too!
