Easter
Easter lunch above the Grand Union Canal, in Paddington Central.
Four days, and we are open across all of them. Good Friday for fish, Easter Saturday for brunch, Easter Sunday for the roast, and Easter Monday to finish the weekend properly.
Easter Sunday is a roast day, and ours is bottomless. British grass-fed beef picanha, free-range chicken, slow-cooked pork belly, lamb, or a vegetarian parcel, with duck-fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal greens, roasted roots and gravy. Brought to the table until you ask us to stop.
Order individually, or take a sharing platter to the middle of the table, which is what most families do.
Fish, cooked properly. Beer-battered haddock with chunky chips, cod with beurre blanc, char-grilled salmon, whole sea bass, and Maldon rock oysters at the bar. The full a la carte runs alongside it.
Bottomless brunch from 11am to 4pm, with live music. Eggs Benedict, Royale and Florentine, crab pancakes, a full English, and sweet pancakes to finish.
Children are welcome across the whole weekend and we have high chairs. The kitchen will happily do smaller portions, and there is a vegetarian roast that people order by choice rather than necessity.
For a larger family gathering, the private dining rooms seat up to 60.
Easter Sunday is one of the busiest days of our year, tables go weeks ahead, so book now rather than in Holy Week.
