This is Olde England, right?

Can anyone recommend a good pub for a Sunday roast in central(ish) London ? Having organised a party of eight to go to a pub we'd had highly recommended for such things, I've just discovered it's shut on Sundays (I guess the guy who recommended it is giggling quietly to himself).
So now we're all planned up with no place to go. Only criteria are: must do good roasts, mustn't be too expensive (for example, Roast, near Borough market, has been ruled out on price grounds). Should probably keep decent beer, too. The party doesn't include any vegetarians and has, geographically, a slight north and west bias. I have a personal and mildly irrational dislike of carveries, so would rather it wasn't one of those.

near kentish town - so northern. Cheaper then roast but not cheap if I'm honest. Very good sunday lunch. Have to say I have a small grduge agaisnt them as I recently went and got turned away because I did not have a booking and they were "busy" when the place looked half empty.
Suspect it should be held as a "back up" if nobody produces a better choice due to feeling dirty for recomending them.... but good roast lunch to give them there due and nice beer.
