Sunday Roast at Dinner by Heston London

I have a somewhat tumultuous relationship with Heston. Be it my regrettable meal at the now-late Dinner in Melbourne, or the time I sent a note to his room at a hotel in Sydney and didn't receive a reply.

However, I had to try arguably the most expensive Sunday roast in London, at 98 quid, at his flagship Dinner property and it did not...... deliver.

As I've dined at the London outpost before, and Melbourne before it closed, I opted for the classics of meat fruit and pineapple tipsy cake.

"Meat Fruit" used to contain chicken liver and foie gras. Now, it just contains chicken liver. When I enquired about this, I was informed Heston's recipe had "never" changed.

Luckily, I have google, past menus and a memory.

Unfortunately, the one thing you have to get right in a Sunday Roast, the meat cookery, failed. This rubbery, unseasoned, flavourless cut of beef would be better left for the nursing home.

Such a shame everything that surrounded it was cooked perfectly with the triple cooked chips, crunchy and fluffy, standing out.

The Single Table pays in full for all meals it posts about.
