The art of the Sunday roast lunch is fast disappearing. True, thousands
of establishments still offer their attempt at it - the traditional roast
beef and yorkshire pud (often out of a packet), roast chicken, etc with
a selection of limp, overcooked vegetables and thousands of nasty frozen
garden peas. It's a delight to report that the Weavers in Southborough,
Tunbridge Wells, offers perhaps the best Sunday lunch that Spy has ever
encountered. A choice of beef or turkey (at least on the occasion we visited),
and a "mixed roast" - yes, you've guessed it, beef AND turkey - came piled
teeteringly high with a scrumptious stuffing and a yorkshire pud proudly
on top, with a moat of gravy surrounding. Roast vegetables came in seperate
bowls - giant roast potatoes, perfectly fluffy with a crunchy coating,
along with roast leeks, parsnips and carrots. Superb. Prices are reasonable
at around £7.95 for a vast plate - a snip compared to what you get at
the normal £4.95/£5.95 establishments. This really is one of those few
places that get something absolutely right and are quietly proud of it
- queues of customers on the day we went obviously know. But now it's
out - this is a spy secret. A must. M
