The White Horse, SW6

Great beers

This is a pub that truly takes beer seriously. With hundreds of beers on offer, and "rustic" decor, it's a really great location for a quick weekend drink.

The restaurant is expensive for a pub but of a very high quality--as mentioned the fish and chips is brilliant.

The clientele can leave a lot to be desired--singing Chelsea fans and "young professional" types down from South Kensington make up the primary numbers.

Bring your own friends, enjoy the park, the Pimms, and the beer!

Pub on the Park, E8

Nice if you can avoid the queues

What a great spot. Decks on London Fields. Full of all the young "new media" types you could possibly want to see on a sunny London Fields day (the last sentence is said with only a hint of irony).

Sadly the bar service can be quite spotty, and the kitchen closes early on a Sunday.

Still a nice place to enjoy the sun--but stay away if it's raining.

The Dove Freehouse and Kitchen, E8

Not really Belgian

Brad W. says:

The owners of this pub don't seem to actually be Belgian, and this shows in the quality and care taken in their food.

Thin gravy, too-fatty meat, and too noisy to enjoy a nice meal. Luckily the meal isn't so nice anyway.

The Prince, N16

Great but for the Yorkshire...

Brad W. says:

In this nice, off-the-high st pub, where local families and hipsters intermingle in equal proportions, lies a sleeping giant in the London Sunday Roast club.

Generous portions, quick service, and fresh ingredients point towards a superior meal. If only it wasn't for the doughy and burnt Yorkshire pudding they send along with the rest of the meal.

Reputedly their burgers (not served on Sundays, sadly) are also excellent, so this may turn out to be a new favoured local eating pub.

The Torriano was the venue for my first pint as a Londoner and therefore will always keep a special place in my heart. But it is the great atmosphere, BBQ on a Sunday and the lashings of boardgames that will keep me coming back. It is not exactly in Kentish Town as you have to make a short walk up Leighton road, but it is well worth the journey, and you may bump into local celebrity Jon Snow on the way.
