"Some people say you can’t beat a homemade roast. Others say that you should never wear socks with sandals. They’re both wrong. But with regards to the former, we present The Selkirk—a rustic Tooting pub which serves a truly epic roast that’s entirely worth leaving your sofa for on a Sunday. The roast British beef is the go-to move, thanks to its tender chewiness and smokiness that is the perfect match to the honey-roasted carrots and liberal serving of gravy. Every Sunday, the two-parts cosy, one-part classy dining room is filled with toddlers merrily tearing up Yorkshire puddings, locals catching up over bloody marys, and at least three adorable dogs you’ll try to tempt over with the remnants of your stuffing. It’s got a proper family feel, and if you happen to be in the area during the rest of the week, it’s still worth stopping by for a pint, a nibble on delightfully slapdash hand-cut nachos, and some prime dog-watching. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
