One of the must-have culinary experiences on my London food list is the traditional British Sunday Roast.
On the basis of reviews and proximity to my hotel, I chose to experience it at the Duke of Wellington on Portobello Road in Notting Hill. It was a great choice.
The food was savory; the atmosphere was warm and welcoming; and the service was great.
The meal comprised West Country Beef Rump with horseradish sauce, rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, maple roast carrots, charred hispi cabbage, celeriac puree, Yorkshire pudding and gravy - for £23 ($30.82).
Everything was very tasty. I loved the carrots & the cabbage.
The photo is very deceptive. The large bowl-shaped item at the top is Yorkshire Pudding. It's hiding the other generous components of the meal ("Pudding" has a very different meaning in British cuisine from the American use of the word. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_pudding)
I accompanied the food with a nice glass of Bodega Norton Fince La Colonia Malbec.
Despite being busy, friendly server Jack took the time to answer my food questions & to chat a bit about language differences.
