Sunday roast season is well under way, and two London venues have a neat answer for anyone who can never decide what to order. The Lighterman in King’s Cross and The Broadcaster in White City are both serving generous sharing feasts that bring beef, chicken and pork to the table together, with all the classic trimmings. Each costs £36 per person for two or more, and both venues also offer individual roasts and a mushroom and beetroot Wellington. Here are five reasons to make a long, leisurely Sunday of it.
1. Three roasts, one table
The big draw at both venues is not having to choose. The sharing feasts at The Lighterman and The Broadcaster each bring a selection of all three roast meats, beef, chicken and pork, to the table at once, so everyone can try a bit of everything. At £36 per person for two or more, it’s a simple way to turn Sunday lunch into a proper occasion with friends or family. The trimmings are generous too, with Yorkshire puddings, chicken stuffing and plenty of gravy among them. If you prefer to keep your plate to yourself, both venues also offer individual roasts.
2. A canalside Sunday at The Lighterman
Recently seen in the hit Apple TV+ series Slow Horses, The Lighterman overlooks Regent’s Canal at Granary Square in the heart of King’s Cross. It’s a contemporary pub, dining room and bar spread across three floors, with extensive terraces and canalside seating, giving a lively yet relaxed setting for a long lunch. Its Sharing Feast (£36pp, for two or more) brings all three meats to the table alongside chicken stuffing, celeriac and potato dauphinoise, seasonal greens, Yorkshire puddings and plenty of gravy. The venue says its signature roasts are served all day on Sunday, so there’s no need to rush.
3. The Lighterman’s roasts and sides
If you’d rather order for yourself, The Lighterman’s individual roasts include Dexter beef fillet (£29), corn-fed chicken (£25), 12-hour roasted pork belly (£28) and a mushroom and beetroot Wellington (£21) for vegetarians, all served with traditional trimmings. For those who believe the sides are just as important as the main event, there’s plenty to add. Choose from Guinness cauliflower cheese with sourdough croutons, braised beef and horseradish croquettes, honey and mustard pigs in blankets, and celeriac and potato dauphinoise. Away from Sundays, the pub serves modern British menus from brunch through to dinner, with an extensive wine and cocktail list.
4. The Broadcaster’s Sunday Sharing Feast
Over in White City, The Broadcaster offers an equally indulgent take on the traditional roast, with a menu of British classics and generous sharing plates. Its Sunday Sharing Feast (£36pp, for two or more) includes a selection of all three roast meats with traditional trimmings, Guinness pigs in blankets, chicken stuffing and short rib and marrow roast potatoes. The individual roasts mirror The Lighterman’s prices: corn-fed chicken (£25), 12-hour roasted pork belly (£28), Dexter beef fillet (£29) or mushroom and beetroot Wellington (£21). Each comes with honey-glazed carrots and parsnips, roast potatoes, seasonal greens, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
5. Tempting sides in an iconic building
The Broadcaster’s sides are well worth adding to the order, including roasted cauliflower cheese (£8), wild mushroom and bone marrow mash (£8), heritage beets with horseradish (£7) and king cabbage with ham hock (£7). The venue sits in White City’s iconic Television Centre, with a relaxed ground-floor pub serving an all-day menu that reimagines classic pub dishes. Upstairs, the first-floor dining room has a sleek, modern feel and a seasonal, ingredient-led British menu. There’s also The Rooftop at The Broadcaster, a social hotspot with two bars, lounge areas and sweeping views over West London.
