"Roast" on a Sunday - why go anywhere else?

Beyond expectations
For an amazing Sunday lunch, look no further than Roast. Great food and not too expensive (in the scheme of things). Lovely setting (try and blag a window seat), and live jazz most Sundays too. Chill out with a G&T in the bar before tucking into market-sourced organic beef... Have eaten there in the week too, for lunch, which can be a bit on the steep side and a bit suit-y too, but still the quality of the ingredients makes it all worthwhile.

Would they get away with it anywhere else?

As expected
Ah Borough market, the foodies' mecca. It's surprising that someone didn't open Roast sooner - a place that has the organic/locally sourced food ethic embedded in its heart. Alas, it's also taken the market's tendency to overprice up to its lofty restaurant. Views down to St Pauls and lots of window seats are all well and good, and some of the portions are vast, but this is above-average gastropub food at West End prices. A good one for corporate entertaining on expenses, but £20 for a piece of lamb and another £4 for roasties (which were, admittedly, amazing) is a bit steep, "rare breed" or not.
