Sundays at Bébé Bob
Bébé Bob has long been known for elevating rotisserie chicken to something indulgent and luxurious, but its Sunday Roast takes that reputation to an entirely new level. Blending classic British comfort with French finesse, this is a roast designed for those who appreciate precision, flavour and a touch of glamour – and it absolutely delivers.
From the moment you step inside, the setting sets the tone. Bébé Bob’s art deco interior is bold, eclectic and stylish without feeling intimidating. There’s a sense of fun and decadence in the room, making it the perfect backdrop for a long, indulgent Sunday lunch that feels like a treat rather than a routine meal.
Before even getting to the roast, the starters make it clear this isn’t a traditional pub affair. The fried chicken with caviar is an absolute must-order. Crisp, golden and impossibly moreish, the chicken is perfectly seasoned, while the caviar adds a salty richness that somehow feels both playful and indulgent. It’s the kind of dish that instantly sets the bar high and makes you grateful you came hungry. The prawn cocktail is another standout, fresh, generous and beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of creaminess and acidity to keep it light and elegant.
When the main event arrives, Bébé Bob’s French twist on the British Sunday Roast truly shines. The rare-breed rotisserie chicken from Vendée is exceptional – cooked with care, deeply flavourful and impressively juicy. The meat is clean and pure in flavour, allowing the quality of the chicken to speak for itself.
The supporting cast is just as strong. Crispy chicken-fat roast potatoes deliver crunch and richness in equal measure, while the Yorkshire pudding is light and well-structured, ideal for soaking up the star of the plate: the chicken stock gravy. Deep, glossy and packed with savoury intensity, this gravy is quite simply unforgettable, rich without being heavy and so good you’ll want to mop up every last drop. Roasted carrots and parsnips add sweetness and balance, completing a plate that feels both comforting and refined.
To elevate things even further, the truffle cauliflower cheese is well worth adding. Luxuriously creamy with an earthy truffle note, it leans into indulgence without overwhelming the rest of the meal. It’s rich, satisfying and perfectly in tune with the restaurant’s elevated approach.
Dessert doesn’t disappoint either. The pineapple carpaccio with chilli is bright, refreshing and gently spicy, offering a welcome contrast after the richness of the roast. Paired with a coconut sorbet that’s smooth, creamy and deeply flavourful, it finishes the meal on a high note – light, elegant and beautifully judged.
Cocktails at Bébé Bob deserve their own applause. The martinis here are among the best in London, with the house Bébé Bob martini standing out for its balance and precision. Clean, cold and expertly made, it’s the perfect companion to both the starters and the roast itself. For those wanting to fully lean into the experience, starting with the iconic “Bébé Bump” – a pairing of caviar and vodka – adds a playful, decadent flourish to the afternoon.
Overall, Bébé Bob’s Sunday Roast is a masterclass in how to reinvent a classic without losing its soul. Luxurious yet comforting, playful yet precise, it’s a roast that feels genuinely special. Whether you’re a devoted roast enthusiast or simply looking for one of the most indulgent Sunday lunches in London, this is an experience that’s absolutely worth savouring.
