"St John’s Tavern, a roomy Archway pub, is one of north London’s most quietly excellent pubs for all things drinking and eating, but on Sundays it really comes into its own. Enormous shoulders of lamb sitting in a shallow pool of glistening deep brown gravy. Yorkshire puds that you could comfortably wear on your head, alongside slices of beef rump that belong in your mouth. Combined with its mean ability to pull a pint and make a fine martini, this isn’t just a decent Sunday spot, it’s a sensational one." - jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley
