Ling Ling at The Gun (Hackney)

A landmark pub dating back to 1860, this East London institution has embedded itself in the neighbourhood through a lively offering of cocktails, craft beers and DJs. Notably, the pub kitchen hosts chef Jenny Phung of Ling Lings, who offers an extremely popular Asian-inflected roast dinner on Sundays that draws from her British-born Chinese background. Expect perfect centrepieces like five-spiced roast pork belly, miso-glazed aubergine, or beef short rib flanked by traditional trimmings and condiments like miso gravy and nori mustard. Don’t miss the green tea and white chocolate tiramisu for dessert, either.

Roast sirloin and poussin with all the trimmings are obvious draws, but we’d be remiss not to encourage diving into the restaurant’s excellent starters and desserts to bookend an afternoon here.
