The Flint House

The Sunday roasts at @theflinthouse have been on my must-visit list for ages, so when @theannaedit and I found ourselves with a rare child-free Sunday afternoon, we seized the opportunity — and I’m so glad we did. It was absolutely fantastic

We kicked things off with a glass of @ridgeviewwineuk and a few of their signature small plates, including the Sweetcorn Fritters (a personal favourite I order every time) and the ham and cheese croquettes, which were just as delicious as I remembered. For the main event, we went for the Sharing Roast, which offers a choice of Sirloin of Beef or Roast Chicken Breast (with a vegetarian option of Mushroom Pithivier in a cream sauce). Each roast comes with Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese croquettes, celeriac purée, rich gravy, and a chef’s selection of seasonal vegetables. We chose the roast chicken on this occasion and were thoroughly impressed. The portion sizes were generous, and the chicken skin was perfectly crisped and packed with flavour. The roast potatoes were wonderfully crunchy, and the vegetables were cooked just right. A highlight for me was the cauliflower cheese croquettes — beautifully seasoned with a hint of truffle that really elevated the dish. We then finished by sharing the Maple & Pecan Doughnutfor dessert. The doughnut is a classic dessert at The Flint House with its regularly changing filling and this one in particular was delicious and oozed with thick creamy filling, a perfect way to finish our meal

At £25 per person for the sharing roast, I found the roast to be excellent value, especially given the quality and presentation. As always with Flint House, the service was impeccable and the setting itself is just as charming as the food. If roast season isn’t over for you yet, I’d highly recommend making a visit — it’s well worth it!
