Suet crust beef, chorizo, bacon & sobrasada pie

TechniqueSuet crust

Beef, chorizo, bacon and sobrasada baked under a suet crust, with a pound of each going to Action Against Hunger; the filling changes with the daily menu. It takes a while, so order it as you sit down.

From The Drapers Arms's own menu and pages, as we read them in October 2026.

Sunday roast: which one?

The Drapers Arms and 3 others in London all lead with it. What sets each apart, and who it suits:

The Drapers Arms
This kitchen
Suet crustIslington · Menu checked Oct 2026
Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding in a Barnsbury dining room whose pies are made in-house.
Pick it if you're in north London and want a garden table when the weather holds; worth booking.
The Camberwell Arms
CureCamberwell · Menu checked Sep 2026
Butchery-led: beef or pork from their own in-house butchery, with gravy, charcuterie and potted pork from the same meat.
Pick it if you're in south London and want the most meat-focused roast of the four; the roast is worth booking.
The Fox & Grapes
Beef drippingWimbledon · Menu checked Oct 2026
Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and gravy from a kitchen that dry-ages its own steak.
Pick it if your roast follows a walk on the Common; walk-ins are tough after sunny days, so we'd book.
The Black Dog Beer House
Brentford · Menu checked Oct 2026
Roast meat and Yorkshires from a freehouse that reworks pub classics in-house — the roast locals queue for, with serious cask and keg.
Pick it if you're in west London, the beer matters as much as the roast, and pub pacing suits you.
