The New Robin Hood

Posted on by admin

For the Brits among us who like a little bit of home cooking even whilst they are abroad, I would just like to say how great the Sunday Roast is at the New Robin Hood located under the Bel Air (the tall building!)

First of all you do need to book in advance as Phil and Janey (the hosts) cook more or less to order to avoid any wastage. There is only one sitting, with the food being served carvery style. We got there for around 2.30 to be able to enjoy a drink first. The food was served from around 3pm.

There is always a choice of three meats – on this occasion, turkey, beef and pork.

You can have a selection of all three if you wish. I chose to have just beef and my partner had just pork. The meat is already carved and served on to your plate by Phil, with very generous portions. This time there were three vegetables, fresh carrots, garden peas and brussel sprouts, plus of course Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and gravy. To compliment the meal there is homemade stuffing, pork crackling and the usual sauces that us British love (mustard, horseradish and apple).
The portions are generous, it is all freshly cooked and the meat was very tasty.
There is also a choice of desserts – all the old favourites – spotted dick, jam sponge, treacle pudding, chocolate sponge – served with custard or ice cream.
We always thoroughly enjoy our roast dinner here and would recommend it!
For two roast dinners, one chocolate sponge with custard and a bottle of wine we paid 46€.

At the New Robin Hood there is seating both indoors and outside on the front terrace. Whilst the bar itself is perhaps stuck in a bit of time warp and could maybe do with some general updating, the service from Phil is first class.

The quality of the food is excellent and the portion size is very generous.
It is probably best to arrive on foot or by taxi as there is no parking nearby. The toilets are located downstairs but there is a wheelchair friendly toilet on the entrance level to the bar.

Many thanks to Simon Jerrison, a member of our Facebook Group, for his review of The New Robin Hood.
