"There are countless, largely indistinguishable pubs masquerading as gastropubs when it comes to midday on a Sunday. Nowhere more so than in the Walthamstow area. But, at the Castle, nestled in a residential area to the south of Walthamstow’s bougie little “village,” the roast is worth going out for. Three protein options, usually beef, chicken, and pork, plus a vegetarian nut roast, come with well-seasoned veg, such as roasted carrots, spiced red cabbage, parsnips, greens, crisp roast potatoes, and a Yorkshire pudding. It is a generous serving of a consistent and accomplished roast, and critically, the gravy is of the highest, richest quality." - Adam Coghlan, James Hansen
