The Howard Pub

With such a high reputation for their Sunday roasts, we had to see what all the fuss was about... and it absolutely lived up to the hype

One thing I loved was their brilliant Summer Roast Baguettes, available with all of their roast meats and served with a pot of rich dipping gravy, crispy roast potatoes and seasonal veggies. It’s the perfect option if you don’t fancy a full roast but still want those comforting Sunday pub vibes. I went for the beef baguette, and it was fantastic. The beef was delicious, the dipping gravy took it to another level, and the roasties were everything a good roast potato should be. Such a great idea for the summer! Of course, it would’ve been rude not to try one of their famous full roasts too, so we ordered the pork roast. The pork belly was cooked perfectly with beautifully crispy crackling, the vegetables were well seasoned, and everything was packed with flavour. The sides were just as impressive. The four cheese leeks were rich and indulgent, while the homemade stuffing balls, soaked in gravy, were an absolute winner

Beyond the food, The Howard Pub has such a genuine community feel. There’s a lovely suntrap garden at the back, plenty of board games to keep everyone entertained, and even free pool. I also loved the little dog trolley stocked with treats and water bowls, such a thoughtful touch that makes everyone, including your four legged friends, feel welcome

It’s a lovely pub with so much to offer, but their Sunday roasts are definitely the star of the show. They also specialise in Spanish tapas during the week, which I tried last year and really enjoyed, so I’ll definitely be back for those again soon! Have you tried The Howard’s famous roast yet? 👇
