The Red Lion Sun - North London

This beautiful gastro-pub features a rotating selection of vegan options. On Saturday, I enjoyed a grilled lunch, starting with an appetizer of wild mushrooms on toast topped with garlic vegan butter. For the main course, I had char-grilled calçots served with Romesco sauce, alongside a spiced carrot cap with carrot hummus and a mixed salad. The carrot dish can also be made into a burger if you prefer. For dessert, they offer a delicious vegan chocolate ice cream. What sets this place apart from other gastro pubs nearby is their clearly labeled vegan wine list, which includes options available by the glass or bottle. The pub also boasts a lovely garden, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Additionally, there’s a bus stop right outside served by buses 143, 214, and 603.

We had an absolutely amazing Sunday lunch! My wife enjoyed the roast pork belly, while I had the cassoulet—both dishes were outstanding. We also paired our meal with a lovely bottle of Languedoc wine. Although we live nearby, this was our first visit, and we’re already excited about coming back next Sunday!

I rarely dine out for a roast because I'm often let down, but this experience was one of the best I've had. The lamb was cooked to perfection, the potatoes were delightfully crispy, and the vegetables were seasoned beautifully. It was evident that a lot of care went into selecting high-quality ingredients, even the eggs in the Yorkshire puddings! To top off the meal, I enjoyed a scoop of salted caramel ice cream, which was equally delicious. I will definitely return to explore more of the menu, especially since the fish and chips looked fantastic too.

This stunning gastropub features a menu that regularly updates its vegan options. During my Saturday lunch visit, the starters included wild mushrooms on toast topped with garlic vegan butter and grilled cabbages drizzled with Romesco sauce. For the main course, I enjoyed a spiced carrot hash served with carrot hummus and a pea salad, which can also be made as a burger. For dessert, they offer a delicious vegan chocolate ice cream. Unlike many other places in the area, they boast a clearly labeled vegan wine list, with white wine available by the glass or bottle. The beautiful pub garden is a lovely setting, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Plus, there's a bus stop right outside serviced by routes 143, 214, and 603.

Excellent gastropub. the four of us had net and desserts. that eats time to get in, but it's worth waiting. the standard of cooking and procurement is very high. also large portions. I had panfried sea bass with comminuted new kartoffels, saphir and lemon butter. excellent crunchy skin drowned on the fish and soft rich new kartomas in lemon butter. that was the only dish that was not seasoned for my taste because of the salty saphir. flavours very well balanced. sebastian law ordered the braided lamb from the Sunday roast menu many a time as he is a native. I found it very delicate, but not super aromatic without the accompanying sauce. I tried to bite only a little, and for the recognition of the eater sebastian, order this dish several times, it must be taken very well as a whole. I tasted a little bit of the lonely filet that was grounded and fritted to a good crumb. accompanying heaps were fresh, not frozen, such a great texture. claude crommelins main gnocchi with burrata, tomato and rocket was wonderful. kissen light gnocchi and rich burrata with a clean tasting sauce with fresh, non-toned, tomato. we have also shared sides of broccoli and green beans. the butter green beans cooked with scalopkins were exceptionally good. I like that broccoli was actually Broccoli rave. to dessert I had sticky zehenpudding with ice. I didn't eat much sticky puddings, but that's the best I ever had. light texture, not excessively sweet, and with textural interest in the form of tiny crispy spots of hard toffee sweetnesses in the sauce that contributed to small explosions of sweet. also brownie with ice cream was good, but a little cake for my taste. I prefer my brownies to have a Gooey texture, but that's a personal thing. rich and very chocolatey. individual tarte tatins were nice. the baked and taste loved, but the apples were cooked slightly softer than I like. Salt caramel ice cream was good, but not as exciting as the cooked desserts. the cheapest house red was very pleasant. I actually preferred it to the Pricier bottle of bordeaux, which we also ordered. boozy dinner for four with two bottles of wine, and a cocktail came to £163 including service.
