A stunning, foliage-filled former tram shed that operates as a wedding venue during the week and transforms into a lively, jazz-accompanied Sunday roast destination on weekends.
British Sunday Roast
£££
Clapton
Unit J2, The Tram Depot, 38-40 Upper Clapton Rd, London E5 8BQ, United Kingdom
Ordering Strategy
This is strictly a Sunday affair. Book well in advance as it fills up with large groups. Expect loud live jazz, so it's better for vibes than deep conversation.
What to order
Norfolk Gold corn fed roast chicken
Described as being 'cooked to perfection' with lemon, rosemary, and thyme infusions, it is also the most affordable roast option.
Scottish Prime Rib-eye
The most premium meat option on the menu, reviewers note it is 'cooked to perfection' and served with generous portions of first-rate sides.
Vegan Nut Roast
A surprising hit for meat-eaters; the pastry casing is described as 'like a little slice of pie' and it is notably mushroom-free.
Creamed leeks
Singled out as a 'delight' that is exceptionally creamy and sweet, standing out among the high-quality seasonal sides.

Good to know
The venue is dog-friendly and located down a cobbled path (old tram depot). It is primarily a wedding venue, so the interior is exceptionally photogenic.
