I just wanted to thank you for your channel. I'm currently getting chemo for breast cancer and can't eat or taste much and your videos are keeping me going! I love watching your excitement for food and I've started making a list of things I want to be sure to eat and try once I'm better based on the things you eat!

Good video Mikey! Sorry to hear you had bad service here 😢 I would highly recommend visiting the UK outside of London, and making trips to local pubs and restaurants. It's a very different experience! 😊

[@cheekymunki6]

I don't know what interactions Mike specifically had, but I went to that same restaurant on Monday and the service was exceptional. Without exaggeration: the best service I've ever had anywhere. They clearly put a substantial amount of effort into their service, so I'd love to know what happened with Mike.

[@OnePieceKingy]

Visited the restaurant for Dinner on a Saturday night, even though I didn't book and it was busy they managed to find a seat for us. The service was amazing and we were well taken care of for the night.

A roast dinner consists of roast beef/chicken/lamb, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and gravy

Theres so much more to England than London. I love the mixture of foods from different cultures combined tho in London..it would be nice to see you go to Scotland as well Mikey for sea food. The freshest seafood I've ever tasted. My Dad used to go fishing and catch fish for dinner as kid growing up for the family in Scotland. You cant get fresher than that.

I’ve been to Blacklock in the last six months and it was really good - they do a sort of “all you can meat” offer that’s really good value for money. What you had wasn’t a roast though. Just a mixed grill with some sides

[@riocaz]

Yea that's their normal weekday "all in". The Sunday version is served with roast potatoes, veggies, & Yorkshire pudding.

[@riocaz]

He did say it was near the end of the day. So it might be that they had sold out of the roasts & reverted to their normal menu? But either way that's not their Sunday Roast.

[@thesuncollective1475]

Where's the Yorkshire pud? I prefer roast chicken. It's a mixed grill...pork is cheap so I understand but it's not a proper roast dinner. Looks delish but mis-labelled

That is in no way a Sunday roast, it's a mixed grill, an incredible one but it's a mixed grill even if it is roasted, I guess mixed roast, but it's certainly not a "Sunday Roast". It's missing every ingredient but the meat and the gravy.

[@riocaz]

It was a mixed grill (or "all in") from the Blacklock weekday menu. The Sunday menu has Yorkshire Puddings, roast potatoes, & veggies. He must've either gone during the week or (as he mentioned in the video), as it was near closing, they might've run out of the Sunday menu. But it's not their Sunday roast. Edit: right at the end of the video he says "Sunday roast but not on a Sunday" so it was just the standard mixed grill.
