  "textContent": "The pub is said to have the ‘best’ roast dinner (Picture: GOOGLE IMAGES)\n\nThere are thousands of pubs for punters to take their pick from in London – from chic gastropubs to local Spoons.\n\nBut there are only two spots across the capital that have ever been awarded a prestigious Michelin Star.\n\nUntil recently, The Harwood Arms was the only boozer in the city to achieve the accolade, but with the new batch of stars doled out last week, The Kerfield Arms in Camberwell has now joined the ranks.\n\nAnd, unsurprisingly, Londoners are flocking to the pub to see what all the fuss is about.\n\n> https://www.instagram.com/p/DUoZN0-Dd9j/\n\nThe Kerfield Arms announced proudly on social media that the pub had been recognised by Michelin and received one star.\n\n##  Welcome to the Slice\n\nThe Slice is your weekly guide to what’s happening in London, so if you’re looking for restaurant reviews, drinks deals or just a great new exhibition to visit on a rainy Saturday in the capital, we’ve got you covered.\n\nClick here for this week’s edit of the best things to do in town.\n\nThe Slice newsletter also a brand new look! We'll still be in your inbox every week, bringing you all the very best things to eat, drink and do in the capital. So if you want get the next edition before anyone else, sign up here!\n\nIf you want to do it all on the cheap, you can also find our latest batch of exclusive hand-picked offers in partnership with Time Out here.\n\nIn the comments, people claimed they’d be ‘getting their skates on’ to visit the establishment, with some even prepared to ‘cross the river’ to give it a try.\n\nOthers confessed they’d enjoyed the food so much they already couldn’t wait to go back, and this tracks as the listing in the Michelin Guide reads: ‘What a wonderful neighbourhood pub this is – the kind of place you visit once, then immediately start planning your return.’\n\n## What exactly do people love about the pub?\n\nIn reviews online its been praised for having an ‘exceptional’ roast dinner, which some have hailed as ‘the best’ in London.\n\nOptions on the menu include Grilled Highland Rump, Vendée Chicken, Pork Collar, and Highland sirloin for two.\n\nThe beef is served with Yorkshire pudding and horseradish, the pork with sand carrots and apple sauce, while the chicken comes with cavolo nero and bread sauce.\n\nThe roast chicken is said to be ‘exceptional’ (Picture: GOOGLE IMAGES)\n\nAll of the roasts also include roast potatoes, hispi cabbage and gravy, with prices ranging from £25 to £28 for the individual mains, and £78 for the sirloin.\n\nPosting on Google, Tom Flanagan said: ‘One of the best roasts I’ve had in London, the bread sauce with the chicken was exceptional. Bustling foodie pub and service/atmosphere was on point.’\n\nSimilarly, Adam Pollock wrote: ‘Really good restaurant this and a good local pub too. Have eaten there for the second time now, and it gets better! First time out, we had the steak and the lamb. The steak was excellent. Went again for a Sunday lunch and the roast chicken was genuinely one of the best I can remember.’\n\nA reviewer known only as Turkleton also shared some incredibly high praise, adding: ‘I write this review with great regret. Now it’s going to get crazy busy for Sunday lunch, and it’s all my fault.\n\n> https://www.instagram.com/p/DKjwGSxtzjd/\n\n‘This is the best Sunday roast in town. Perfect roast potatoes, the gold standard for a good roast. But the beef isn’t some nonsense top side. This is served on the bone. Perfect steak crust, homemade horseradish. Loads of gravy. Not too much veg. Just a nice hispi cabbage. Oh, I forgot the most important thing next to potatoes. The yorkie. It’s world-class.’\n\nThe desserts are also a hit with customers, in particular the £9 doughnut, which has been sold in flavours such as Strawberry & Chamomile and Rhubarb & Custard.\n\n‘The doughnut is a thing of beauty,’ claimed Nick Brown, and he’s not the only one who feels this way, as Adam Pollock gave the doughnut an ‘11/10’ rating.\n\nOn Instagram, social media users say the doughnut is ‘delicious’ and they ‘think of it daily’.\n\nPOLL\n\nPoll\n\n### Have you been to The Kerfield Arms?\n\n  * YesCheck\n\n  * NoCheck\n\n  * It's on my must-visit list!Check\n\n\n\n\nThe Kerfield Arms is located at 16 Grove Lane in Camberwell in a Victorian building.\n\nThere’s been a pub on the site for almost 130 years, and it’s operated under various names, most recently being known as The Crooked Well until 2025.\n\nLast year, in April, the pub was refurbished and reopened as The Kerfield Arms, and it’s run by Adam Symonds and Rob Tecwyn, with chef Jay Styler heading up the kitchen.\n\nIts Michelin Star isn’t its only accolade – the pub was recently named one of the top 50 gastropubs in the UK, coming in at number 25.\n\nThe pub has a ‘younger brother’ in The Baring pub in Islington, also run by Symonds and Tecwyn.\n\nDoes The Kerfield Arms serve your favourite pub roast in London, or do you think there’s somewhere better?
