The Parakeet

"Take a 19C pub, add wood-fired grilling, then finish with the buzz of a semi-open kitchen – and you have The Parakeet. It’s still firmly a public house, with drinkers far from neglected thanks to the large bar that dominates the front section; head to the rear to indulge in snacks and sharing plates that have big, gutsy flavours in abundance. A lick of smoke and fire adds to the appeal of many dishes, with grilled mackerel a highlight. A traditional roast is available on Sundays and service is relaxed yet engaging." - Michelin Inspector

The Parakeet - Review - Kentish Town - London - The Infatuation

"Each and every time a new gastropub opens, a wholly unoriginal tweet or think piece is spawned. The Parakeet is a restaurant inside of a spruced-up pub in Kentish Town, and that’s that. The slightly gaudy dining room—with wood panels, stained glass, and distressed brickwork that screams late 2000s east London curator—is separate to the bar. And the staff are eager to explain the wood fire-cooked menu that’s come from a couple of Brat alumni. Some things hit, like a juicy smoked mutton sausage or the gooey spider crab croquette. Other things like ox cheek, less so. For NW5 locals it’s a marvellous spot and it's hard to imagine anyone luxuriating in their enormous booths not having a lovely old time. photo credit: Justin DeSouza" - Jake Missing

Enjoyed their Sunday roast. Perhaps was on the smaller portion side for the price, but everything tasted decent. However nothing about it really blew us away. We ordered the potato bread starter, roast beef and chicken, a side of cauliflower cheese, as well as the famous chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding. Surprisingly, the vegetables and sticky toffee pudding were my favourite parts of the meal. Still, the decor was beautiful and service was outstanding! worth a visit.

The pub is famed to be one of these popular Gastro pubs for lunch. We went for dinner as we couldn’t book an earlier table. Food, both fish & steak were good though I would not say exceptional. Atmosphere was nice, so was decor. I also like the service which was attentive & prompt. All I. All, a very good experience.

Decent Sunday roast Quality beef nice veg but the whole lunch was a little under seasoned for me they may have been salt and pepper around I didn't ask so it could have been my fault. I will return for the sharing steak and other things on the menu look lovely. the dessert the chocolate mousse in particular very ritch but it was the best mousse I have ever had Over all I would return Guinness was decent Not blown away or to impressed but a decent roast

My first pub on my search for the best Sunday roast in London. We waited about 3 weeks for a table because it’s very popular! First I’ll say it’s a beautiful interior, with lively atmosphere and friendly, thoughtful, quick service. For a starter, we got the potato bread which was warm and the smoked butter was very fluffy and creamy, with a subtle smoked flavour. I loved the texture of the bread - great start to the meal. We chose the lamb and beef roast dinners with an extra side of cauliflower cheese - both were beautifully presented. The cauliflower cheese and cabbage were stand-out for me in flavour. The cabbage almost tasted like Caesar salad for the first bite - I loved it. The cauli cheese was so cheesy, and almost tasted like a stuffing at times. It was the best one I’ve had. The beef and lamb were both very good - some bites melted it my mouth and had a lot of flavour and others were a tiny bit chewy. The gravy was delicious and the horseradish sauce as well. The potatoes weren’t the best roasties I’ve had. They were hot and fluffy internally but they had a crust and didn’t have enough flavour or crispy glassiness. All in all it was a delightful experience and I would highly recommend it!

BEST SUNDAY ROAST we have ever tried We had the sirloin steak and every single side was delicious. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. It's a more expensive roast than at other pubs but believe me that the small extra cost is more than worth it! We had oysters for a starter that were so tasty and the over all experience was incredible. Highly recommend!! We paid around 90-100 per person including oysters for starters, the sirloin steak and dessert and a really nice bottle of wine!

Delicious food, great and quick service. The place is a bit smokey inside because the kitchen is semi-open and they cook their steak on fire! Best pickled vegetables I tried anywhere else in London, lamb dish was incredible too.

The food is great as well as the wine selection. The portion are a bit small but that’s normal for sharing menus. The waiters are very knowledgeable and friendly. The pub itself is lovely, creating a nice atmosphere.
