Best Gastro Pubs in New Eltham

Booked for Sunday roast with family, four of us for 4pm. The noise level was extreme, chatting, crashing plates at counter behind us and busy jazz instrumental music from above us. This experience was then made worse, by the service although polite, it took around 10-15minutes to get a drink order taken. The 4 to 5 staff made no eye contact with any of us. Yet served the table next to us, whom had all sat down after us. They bring our drinks, take our food order and fifty minutes in, the waiter came to our table to say they were all out of Roast Pork so I ordered the Roast Lamb instead. Roast Lamb was dreadful, I had to spit out the first two mouthfuls as the chewiness as well as the gristle were making me gag. Even my other half who had the lamb made a remark and he never complains about food, ever. Yes lamb can be on the pink side, this I don't mind. However, rump needed slow cooking imo. I cut away a small sliver about 1cm, from the edge of one slice and it was okay however the majority of the lamb was full of unrendered fat and lots of gristle, making it, impossible to enjoy. The roast potatoes had hard outer...no not crispy, just hard making them almost impenetrable and each plate had varying vegetables, only one plate had kale, I had one piece of carrot and a spoonful of red cabbage. The gravy was scarce, too. I was so disappointed but luckily our two relatives had chicken which they enjoyed. It did not feel like a scrumptious Sunday roast, more like you'd popped in last minute and had been given whatever was left over.

One of the best roasts in the area! Food cooked perfectly and great portion sizes.

Lovely gastropub interior . The food and service were excellent and extremely good value. A great pace to visit.

Cozy place, perfect afternoon tea treats selection and nice staff!

This was our first time at the seven stars I would highly recommend this pub. We will most definitely be going back.
