1 /5 Brandy Wright: We decided to treat ourselves today and have a first Sunday outing with our newborn and heard great things about Jones and Sons in Hackney.
It is so painful to write this but we just came back from the worst Sunday roast we’ve ever had. Ever.
Everything was so bland, no salt let alone seasoning, and most of each roast was stale. I’m not sure if they prepped too far in advance but the potatoes were hard and cold in the middle - like sneaking a day old roastie out of the fridge for a snack.
The vegetarian gravy, oh boy - tepid water with possibly mushrooms in it?
Saving grace was that the children’s portion is a decent size, albeit not good food. The decor is simple and lovely, and the staff were nice.
Obviously felt terrible having to tell our server about this - who kindly removed the service charge even though it was the food that was the problem and not her.
Don’t think we will be back since it’s pricy if it’s a miss again, but maybe for a drink.
