Fans of Lagom's roasts are encouraged to book a month in advance to not be disappointed and if you want a quiet time, to book for 12pm.

On Google reviews, one guest said: "Came here mainly for the Sunday roast. Had the Hangover bowl for £12 which felt like very good value for money. The meat was infused with smokiness and it was cooked perfectly."

The Canton Arms in Stockwell has won a range of awards including a GastroPub award, Hardens Best London Pub award and more.

The Stockwell spot offers a Sunday menu including Rare roast Dexter beef, roasties, green beans and watercress and Salt Marsh lamb shoulder, potato and olive oil gratin, and greens.
