Where To Go For An Easter Lunch In London

Long associated with roast lamb, hot cross buns and of course a smorgasbord of chocolate, Easter weekend is a highlight on the culinary calendar – particularly for those who have given up their favourite treats for Lent. The holiday is later than usual this year too, which means we’re more likely to be blessed with good weather, and spring produce is bountiful with the likes of asparagus, rhubarb and Jersey Royals at their finest. This makes for exciting seasonal cooking, but if you’d rather leave it to the professionals a whole host of London restaurants are serving Easter menus. Whether you’re looking for somewhere special for a family get together or a classic pub roast with friends, you’ll find plenty of choice in our pick of where to go for Easter Sunday lunch in London in 2025.
