Nine Barnet pubs serving a Sunday roast, from £15.49 at the Three Hammers to £28 at the Bald Faced Stag, with booking, hours and hygiene ratings for each.

For a Sunday roast in Barnet, most people land on the Orange Tree by the pond in Totteridge, the Bohemia brewpub in North Finchley, or the Bald Faced Stag in East Finchley, where a trio of roasts is £28. The Gate in Arkley is the one that takes no bookings at all. Every entry and price was checked against the pub’s own website and Sunday menu on 25 October 2026.

We have not eaten at these pubs for this guide, and nothing here is a review. Each entry sets out what the pub says about its Sunday lunch, the prices on its published Sunday menu, its hours and booking rules, and its Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. Menus and prices change, so check before you go.

One name you will not find: the Toby Carvery at the Red Lion on High Barnet’s High Street, long the borough’s best-known carvery, is now marked “now closed” on Toby Carvery’s own website.

How we chose

These are the pubs in the borough that publish a Sunday roast you can check, not a list of our favourites. We started from the Food Standards Agency register for Barnet Council and left out anything rated below 3, then kept only pubs whose own website names a Sunday roast and, wherever one is published, its prices. We spread the list across the borough. Prices and hours come from each pub’s own website and Sunday menu on 25 October 2026; the Gate posts its adult roasts on chalkboards rather than online, so we give its children’s prices only. Several pubs we looked at publish no Sunday menu, and the Red Lion carvery in High Barnet has closed.
