This “real local favourite” in East Dulwich from Rod Franklin and Tim Sheehan has served seasonal British cooking for more than 25 years, and is “famed for its Sunday roasts for carnivores” (but there’s more to it than meat, and “the varied menu always has an excellent selection of veggie/vegan dishes”). To the odd sceptic, it’s “OK, but really no more than that”.

“Lunching here is like a warm hug with a dear friend”, say fans of Rod Franklin and Tim Sheehan’s “perfect local restaurant” in East Dulwich – a “good balance of the classic and quirky” that celebrates its quarter century this year. Top Tip – “Sunday lunches are a particular local legend with extra Yorkshire puds on the side for the really hungry”; and “lots for vegans/veggies”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
