The Roebuck, Borough

Went for the claim of "top notch" food mentioned by another reviewer.

Sunday Roast was the order of the day. Service was reasonably swift, though it was quiet when we ate.

We found the portions small (two small roast potatoes,one small yorkshire pud, some mashy carrot thing, lacklustre cabbage, and parnsip chips). The vegetables barely warm - probably been sitting on the plate for a while. And the meat (some had roast beef, some chicken) over cooked and a bit fatty. There was plenty of gravy though, and a decent selection of sauces.

It wasn't overly expensive which was OK, but it doesn't cost anything to keep the veggies hot, or put an extra potato on the plate.

Staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was nice, but as decent Sunday roasts go, this place isn't one of the best.
