This is a lovely British pub and restaurant that I visited with a large party after church. The interior was cavernous and cool with a very hip vibe. Upon walking in, there is a bar area with tall black stools, along with a large mirror across the room with the following quote in fancy gold lettering: "My taste is simple: I am easily satisfied with the best." ~ Sir Winston Churchill. The rest of the place boasts brick walls, a fireplace, a wooden barrel, and seating for a large party in the back, as well as an upstairs.
Since my friends and I came on a Sunday, I was excited by the prospect of trying the Sunday Roast. I just needed to know what options they had for that. When the waiter mentioned lamb chops, I knew immediately that was what I wanted. In true Sunday Roast fashion, this entree came with all the trimmings: Potatoes, carrots and peas, bread, and gravy. I asked for my lamb chops to be medium well and 3 out of the 4 fit this description. There was 1 that was decidedly rare. I definitely enjoyed the medium rare lamb chops. They were delightfully tender and succulent, cooked in a savory well seasoned sauce. The roasted mini whole potatoes with the skin still on were also tasty. The bread was wonderfully crisp, buttery, and flavorful. My least favorite part of the meal were the carrots, which tasted like they were canned. The peas it came with were better though.
As for dessert, sticky toffee pudding was on the menu so I knew I had to have it. Whenever I see it, I have to get it no matter the price because it's one of my favorite desserts and so rare to find in NYC. The sticky toffee pudding can be served with either cream or ice cream, and I chose the cream, which was thick and yellow in color. That sticky toffee pudding was absolutely delicious with the perfect consistency. The cake, as well as the cream was slightly warm and paired beautifully together. It tasted sweet, rich, and simply divine.
The service was pretty solid, especially considering there were 16 of us total, with a few latecomers. Everyone was attended to in a timely manner and we were well taken care of. Overall, a nice meal and I'm glad I got to try the Sunday roast. I would be open to returning, as the salmon looked really good!
