Let there be brunch! Olivia Gibson reviews Sunday Brunch at InterContinental London Park Lane

Set in the elegant surroundings of the hotel’s main restaurant, Theo Randall at the InterContinental, we enjoyed a banquet fit for a king, with a focus on the highest-quality British produce that transcends ordinary dining with loved ones. It’s perfect for celebrations, bridal showers surrounded by your best girls, or pre-wedding dates for quality time away from planning. Executive Chef Lalit Kumar created a beautifully presented selection of food and couldn’t wait to dive in.

What better way to start the experience than the egg and waffle live station, where we witness the chefs prepare eggs with a flare to our liking? I opted for the three-egg omelette, which is full of fresh vegetables like mushrooms, onion, cheese, tomatoes, and chilies for a kick.

Next up was the fresh section of cold and hot starters. The spread overflowed with delicate flavours and was a feast for the eyes, with salads, cold meat, smoked fish, fresh bread and dips. My plate was full of leafy greens, turkey, bread, humous, mozzarella, olives, croutons and the most delicious, creamy hummus! Each flavourful bite left me wanting more, but there were still plenty of courses to enjoy, and it was time for the main event!

The traditional British Sunday roast was packed with bold characteristics and rich tones. Let me quote my partner, "These are the best roast potatoes I've ever had", and boy, was he not wrong! The golden, buttery, creamy side dish had a crunchy exterior but fluffy interior; it was heavenly – I'm very passionate about my potatoes! We opted for the Gloucestershire beef Wellington and juicy Kentish chicken paired beautifully with a medley of seasonal vegetables, including tender carrots, parsnips and tender stem broccoli, all perfectly cooked.

Let's not forget about one of my favourite parts of a roast, cauliflower cheese. The rich and silky sauce wasn't overpowering and undoubtedly flavourful. The harmonious flavours complemented each other beautifully.

I was seriously getting full at this point, but of course, I had to make room for the light, crispy and fluffy waffles with an array of toppings. I kept things classic with a sweet berry compôte, whipped cream and fresh fruit. Homemade pastries, local British cakes and tarts swiftly followed. There was something for everyone with pan au chocolates, lemon meringues, cheesecakes, muffins, cakes and mousses. Lastly, before entering a food coma, we enjoyed the selection of moreish cheeses, fruit chutney, wheat wafers and walnut bread.
