I like the one at the Cambria because I love nut roast. They have the nuttiest nut roast short of diving into a bag of peanuts.

That meat is too raw for me.
looks fine to me, personal choice though.
Would definitely prefer a nut roast to something like a tart or sausages, which makes the veggie option not feel like a roast at all. Want good roast potatoes, gravy and maybe some yorkshire puddings too.

Is it? Or did it just come like that? Not sure they ask how well done you want your roast.

well it is a nut roast, yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, carrots, parsnip, roast potatoes, apple sauce and mustardy onions. It's very nice. The one thing I did find was that because there was mustardy onions (which were yummy) and gravy on the same plate (and apple sauce), it did become a bit mustardy floaty. Next time I might ask for the onions and apple sauce on the side. I'm pretty fussy with spuds so never likely to find any like my mum's but they were pretty good.
a good pub should. not everyone wants the red middle, you should get offered a choice imo.
you couldn't serve that to a pregnant person, for example!

yeah.. the apple sauce was a bit redundant really... I gave mine to O.

If it is a roast they can't ask how you want it done.... They just cook the joint.... Not like a burger when they cook for each person....
nah, that is balls. with beef or lamb in a pub you should be offered it from the ends or the middle if at all possible, particularly if it is coming out as rare as that.
there are a lot of people who won't eat beef or lamb as rare as that and would just send it back.
It was red poll beef

The rareness of the meat was really a moan. I prefer it a bit better done than that personally but it was still delicious. Just a bit fatty and on the small side.

I don't think I've ever been asked how I want the meat done when getting a roast in a pub. I suppose I'd see it as good service if they did but I definitely wouldn't expect it.
The White Horse. By a large margin.
What do you get?

Yeah it was fine for me but I understand that it would be too underdone for a lot of people.
It was very tasty and service was great but it just wasn't worth the money.
Like you Dan, I was not happy about the 3 small pieces of roast tattie but was not in the mood for complaining.
May send them an email....
The ciders were, as ever, absolutely delicious though.
I had the Fanny's Bramble and it really really did taste exactly of blackberry

No I never have either but I think that is why roast beef is nearly always cooked medium (or destroyed and charred) rather than as rare as we had.
It did absolutely melt in the mouth though.

Not good enough. Only care about big portions if it's the food I want to eat. In this instance I need the right food more than atmosphere. And I have a toddler, don't remember the WH being the place for a little one.

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
It's your birthday - ditch the toddler.
Ah well, in that case maybe one of the kid-hell places in herne hill, the florence or the prince regent. the white horse is a decent pub and thankfully ive never seen kids in there.
And give him to who? We have no family in London and our only babysitter is away that weekend.
