The Marble Mild cask ale was excellent. Freddie was right about it -- his boss is wrong!

This place is amazing. Came from America to London on Holiday and one of the things we had to do was a Sunday Roast.  I searched and searched all over, I read countless reviews and came across Colonel Fawcett. I called ahead and told them what time I was coming and that we were looking for a Sunday Roast. Once there they did not disappoint. Their drinks were on point and the food was amazing.  Now the atmosphere and Ambiance was amazing as well. The Chef actuality came out and spoke with us. Now being American, I have only this Sunday Roast as our only time of enjoying one. But for what I have read of what a Sunday Roast would be this was amazing. If I can be that review that helps you out the most please follow these 2 words of advice. 1) if you want a True Sunday Roast go here!!!! 2) Call ahead or go early CAUSE THEY SELL OUT of Sunday Roast's!!!!! To the manager hey it's Rob from America  I was there in October  and told you I would give you a true review..... thank you for the best experience ever..... and just incase I didn't say it enough in this review.......... Sunday Roast!!!!! Hahaha

Went for a Sunday Roast and I enjoyed it. Also had the sticky toffee pudding and it was amazing. Love the large selection of gin cocktails.

The Colonel Fawcett's slogan "Camden's Best Kept Secret" is certainly accurate. This homey, festive local pub has hosted many cozy evenings for me and my friends and always guarantees a delicious Sunday roast. CF has been around since the early 1800s and displays a rich history of debauchery and over-indulgence. It's named after an old patron who died via duel on the property itself, and was once a frequented location for Camden's drunken criminals. Today, the Colonel Fawcett is a pub, event venue, and fabulous dinner location. 

Check out set menus for Christmas, Sunday Roasts, Bottomless Brunches, and Buffets on the pub's website. The CF can host weddings and other parties, so be sure to contact staff for the best deals. And if you just want a pint on a weeknight, this pub is quintessential British comfort.

totally worth the walk! their sunday roast is only on sunday's for people who aren't local. but their mash was so yummy and their pumpkin gnocchi was to die for!! also the servers were so incredibly kind and fun! smelled like a bar, but it didn't bother us too much while eating!

It is well worth the trek to Camden for Colonel Fawcett's Sunday roast. And if you come, stay for some pudding. The roast is served from 12-8 and there were few other diners when we arrived at 1 but many others by the time we left, closer to 3. I'd say if you plan to get there after 2:30, try to make a booking. 

Colonel Fawcett serves a proper vegetarian roast and it sounded so good that I was tempted to order it. Luckily I went with the lamb (£16). It is a pulled lamb, super moist, and comes with a very vibrant mint sauce. My friend did order the veggie roast (£13) which had all the same sides --roasted potatoes, steamed kale, roasted carrots and Yorkshire pudding-- but in place of the meat had roast beets, some mushrooms and a ton of grated and saucy zucchini. The only part of the roast I didn't particularly like was the Yorkshire pudding which was just a little too hard/crunchy. Everything else blew me away and considering the price was hardly more than any of the normal portioned meals I had in London, I thought it was an absolute steal. 

I also ordered the bread pudding (£5) which the menu claimed had dates in it but they looked and tasted like raisins. It came with a warm butterscotch sauce and double cream ice cream. I don't even like raisins and I thought the bread pudding was outstanding. The may have been mostly because of the accompaniments but damn, that was a good dessert. I could literally have eaten an entire bowl of the ice cream by itself and could probably have eaten two bowls of the ice cream with the caramel sauce on top. 

The bar/restaurant itself is also super cute. We sat outdoors in a covered booth, though there is an uncovered patio area as well. It would be nice if there was no smoking in the covered section since it gets trapped in there and you spend your entire meal breathing in cigarette smoke. 

Overall, this was an excellent meal. I'm so glad I read Lauren's review and found the perfect Sunday roast in an area (or at least in a restaurant) that isn't overrun by tourists.

Five stars for the two dishes I tried and for having a cool interior, ambiance and trendy vibes that elevated this from the normal pubs in the area (even though the music was annoying, sounded like a low quality recording track of beats and generic background music... and when the pub is full the chatter is VERY loud and you have to yell to converse!).

I've had the chicken and the fish and it's probably the best pub food I've had in London! The chicken was one of the best I've had (at any restaurant - so moist and flavorful). The fish was something I craved every day for the rest of the week, and returned for.

Was packed on a Thursday night (before 7pm). If you want to socialize and be in a trendy pub with energy, this is the spot for you. If you want a delicious meal maybe avoid the busy drinking hours.

Today was a fortunate day. What a cool spot. While waiting for my fiancé while he got some work done nearby, looked for somewhere to hang my hat. Boy, did I come up. 

Started with one of their 100+ gins. Was recommended a berry influenced, super palatable Brockman's. With a wedge of grapefruit, was one of the most easy to drink gin and tonics I've ever had in my entire. life. 

Then an open face mushroom and poached egg sandwich and some fish goujons and chips. Simple but clean flavors. Ingredients seemed fresh and chosen with care. And updated, non fussy take on good food. 

Service was also amazing. Lucky neighborhood to have a gem like this.
