A decent roast dinner around SE London

[Geekman]

Bit of a long shot this, but maybe someone can help me.

I'm traveling with my wife and parents-in-law to visit my family in SE London, and as my parents-in-law are from Mexico where we don't have this sort of thing, they really want to try a traditional English roast dinner. Only problem is we won't be there on a Sunday and most places I've found seem to only serve it then. We can go anywhere around SE London or even NW Kent. Only option I've found that would definitely be open is Toby Carvery, which is really a last resort for obvious reasons.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

There is a restaurant in Borough Market called "Roast" who appear to offer a couple of roast dinner options all week.

By my definition, Borough Market is in South East London (Postcode = SE1), however you might not agree.

As above - where are you classing as "SE London"?

Around Peckham/Dulwich/Camberwell they are tonnes of decent options and all have SE postcodes.

Weavers in Canterbury do roasts all week long. I know it's a but out the way, but it's a decent place.

Mmm, interesting. I realise the river marks the border between north and south, but personally I wouldn't class the Southbank or SE1 as S.E. London, in the same way as I wouldn't class Marylebone Station area (NW1) as North London. I would class them as Central London.

It is surely "around SE London" though?

Yep, was about to post the same; a nice restaurant, not cheap though.

Yes, I suppose it is.

Don't bother with Roast.

Overpriced and underwhelming.

Try Rules.

Honestly, take them to the Toby in Eden Park just past Beckenham, its where we take all the italian relatives when they come over and they love it.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I passed it on to them and I'll let them choose.
