The Lord Palmerston (Tufnell Park)

• A great Sunday roast is something that all Brits love
• Last Sunday we were invited to visit The Lord Palmerston in Tuffnell Park
• TLP is a pimped up gastro pub that perfectly blends the old world appeal of a great pub with our very modern foodie expectations
• The Lord Palmerston is settled atop Darmouth Park Hill
• The interior and exterior of TLP is very inviting with calming cream and brown undertones contrasted with lush greens
• The selection of tables and chairs is very pub by although they are all different they seem to effortlessly work together
• The offering of beef and chicken was sufficient for meat lovers
• Vegetarians are treated to a butternut
• Seafood risotto or wood pigeon were also available
• The wine list is also rather extensive and with my very limited knowledge of wine
• I think house wines are a very interesting area of a restaurant
• I chose the house red to share which was a lovely La Fougere Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon blend from France
• In the tart was really nice
• Alongside the mixed leads (which were not too bitter)
• There was a table of 20 next to us so understandably the kitchen was quite busy
• Both roasts came on the most ginormous plates with another dish on the side for our roasted vegetables
• All roasts are served with kale cabbage
• Any pub or restaurant that only serves Yorkshires with a beef roast is criminal in my opinion
• These chickens are corn fed and thus have a rich
• The meat was gorgeously succulent with a fantastically crisp skin
• The bread sauce seemed to move as a single entity which was a little odd but the flavour was good
• T really to my taste and I felt it could have done with a big punch of seasoning
• The roasted vegetables were absolutely delicious but the roast potatoes
• In a novel way the roasties are served whole
• The inside was lovely and fluffy
• I think because they were served whole the exterior was a little disappointing
• Portions for Sunday lunch here were pretty generous
• 6 for desserts is a bit too much
• The vegetables were oddly shared
• 38 which again was pricey but came with a bit more veg
• Apart from the food the service was good and the atmosphere quite airy and pleasant
• Very nice pub with friendly staff and plenty of outdoor seating
