Sunday is the weekly reset button, and nothing presses it quite like a roast with lashings of gravy. There’s something about slow-roasted meats, crisp-edged potatoes and that generous pour of gravy that brings people together like nothing else. For many, a roast dinner is more than a meal – it’s a ritual.
At Cubitt House, we don’t do half measures. No soggy Yorkshires or timid gravy here. Just proper British roasts served in proper British pubs, where the lighting flatters, the conversation flows, and the gravy is never shy.
Why? Because there’s an art to the Sunday roast, and even more so, to Sunday itself. And frankly, we think it should be done properly. So, skip the supermarket meat and the burnt parsnips. This weekend, come roast with us.
The Best Sunday Lunch in London
At Cubitt House, we’re traditionalists at heart, but we’re not afraid of a little flair. Our Sunday roasts stay true to the classics (crisp golden potatoes, towering Yorkshires, seasonal greens and rich, proper gravy) while our chefs add just enough of a twist to keep things interesting. Think of it as the roast, reimagined.
It all starts with impeccable ingredients, often sourced from local growers or trusted artisan producers. As with any masterpiece, it’s about the materials. But the setting? That’s just as important. And across our eight handsome London pubs, we’ve created spaces made for lingering, whether you’re tucked by the fire with a glass of Chianti or gathered around a grand table for a proper feast. From intimate corners to private dining rooms for up to 70 guests, we’ve got the space, if you’ve got the time.
Each pub brings something a little different to the table, but you’ll always find Sunday favourites and all the essential trimmings. And for those skipping the meat, our vegetarian and pescatarian options are far from an afterthought, from the Celeriac, Beetroot & Chard Pithivier at The Thomas Cubitt to the Woodland Mushroom & Autumn Truffle Croustade at The Barley Mow.
Our Pubs, Your Sunday Home
The Thomas Cubitt, Belgravia
Sunday lunch at The Thomas Cubitt is everything a Belgravia weekend should be: elegant, relaxed and utterly satisfying. A favourite among locals, this handsome corner pub is made for slow, indulgent afternoons.
Whether you’re nestled upstairs or enjoying the buzz of the ground-floor pub, the roast here is a cut above. We recommend the Pork Belly with crisp crackling, tender meat and a Weston’s Cider & Apple Mustard Sauce, tying it all together with a tangy finish. Pair it with a bold red or a crisp cider, sit back and let the hours unfold as only a Sunday should.

The Barley Mow, Mayfair
A roast dinner at The Barley Mow is a nod to tradition in the most handsome of settings. Tucked away on Duke Street in the heart of Mayfair, this beautifully restored pub brings old-world charm together with refined British fare. The Sunday roast here is a true occasion: comforting, generous and best enjoyed over good conversation and a glass of something bold.
We recommend the Roast Chicken with Sage & Truffle Bread Sauce for a classic done exceptionally well, or, for something a little heartier, the Haggis & Rosemary Stuffed Lamb Breast. Whichever you pick, expect rich flavour, crisp roasties and all the trimmings in a space that feels both stately and warm.

The Builder’s Arms, Chelsea
Tucked away in the heart of Chelsea, The Builders Arms is a historic pub that wears its heritage with pride, a refined yet welcoming spot where Sunday lunch still feels like a proper tradition. With its rich interiors and relaxed charm, it’s the kind of place where time slows just enough to savour every bite.
This season, we recommend the Woodland Mushroom & Autumn Truffle Croustade, a glorious vegetarian centrepiece that delivers depth, richness and a touch of indulgence. Served alongside all the usual roast accompaniments, it’s proof that you don’t need meat to make Sunday special.

The Grazing Goat, Marylebone
Sunday at The Grazing Goat is everything you want from a Central London roast: hearty, comforting and just a few steps from the leafy calm of Hyde Park. With fires lit and glasses topped, it’s the perfect spot to ease into your afternoon.
We recommend the Roast Porchetta with Spiced Apple and Gremolata, a punchy twist on a classic, or the Salt Baked Celeriac, Onion & Truffle Pithivier, served with vegan gravy, a rich, golden parcel that holds its own against any meatier contender. Whether you’re gathering with friends or settling in after a bracing park stroll, this is Sunday done properly.

Make It a Full-Day Affair
Why just have lunch when you can make a day of it? Start with a restorative Bloody Mary, linger over a proper roast and make sure to leave room for the kind of pudding that silences a room, like our Guinness Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with Malt Butterscotch and a generous dollop of Clotted Cream.
Whether you’re perched at the bar with an aperitif or settling in for a slow pint that turns into a second, our pubs are made for Sundays that stretch long into the afternoon. From there, it’s a gentle amble through Hyde Park or a wander down the King’s Road: the perfect finish to a day well fed and well spent.
Sundays Done Properly
At Cubitt House, Sunday lunch is more than just a meal – it’s a ritual. A table gathered, a roast carved, wine poured, and stories told long after the plates have been cleared.
Whether you’re catching up with family, reconnecting with old friends or simply chasing the comfort of a good roast in a handsome pub, we’ve saved you a seat. Make your Sunday one to savour, and book your table at your favourite Cubitt pub now.
