We went to Bread st kitchen as a family of 12 and had a lovely Sunday roast dinner. The kids ate free which was great, and they were given a little activity pack with colouring and a word search to keep them entertained. The 3 meat Sunday roast board was delicious - everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and it was cooked to perfection. The roast potatoes were nice and crispy and the other vegetables were cooked to perfection. What made the meal expensive were the drinks - £5.25 for a coffee and sparkling water was nearly £8, so we soon had a large bill just for drinks. We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch and the service was great - thank you so much! We’ll be back!!
