Sunday Lunch Round Tony’s

Sunday roast is one of those dishes that we all have an expectation of and quite frankly the best Sunday roast is ours, so it’s always very difficult when choosing to dine out for this institution of a British dish.

So when chef Tony Tobin tweeted that there was availability on Sunday with a £21 fixed price 3 course menu, we thought, why not. Also, the fact that we hadn’t been to the butchers to buy our weekly joint of meat may have helped with the decision.

When you consider how much a Sunday roast is in pubs these days we thought that this was a bit of bargain and would try it out. We’ve eaten at Tony’s restaurant The Dining Room a fair few times and it’s always been a pleasure. Great food and a lovely relaxed informal atmosphere.

I’m not going to warble on about each dish, but just to say that it was all delicious and excellent quality, though my favourite was the light and fragrant saffron infused clam chowder with lemon oil and chives.

What I will say is, if you haven’t been to The Dining Room, give it go. It is not a stuffy, snooty, posh restaurant, it’s a restaurant that envelops you like a warm, gentle hug and is a credit to Tony who wanted his restaurant to make diners feel relaxed and comfortable.

You won’t keel over with the wine list either, there is a bottle for all tastes and budgets.

It’s worth giving Tony a follow on Twitter @ChefTonyTobin and on Facebook Tony Tobin at The Dining Room as there are often really good deals on offer.

Go on, give it a go and have lunch round Tony’s!
