Food
The Golden Tooth keeps a fairly low profile in Newington Green, but reviewers who've found it describe exactly the kind of warm, well-run local restaurant that's easy to overlook and hard to forget, a proper Sunday roast, attentive staff greeting guests personally on arrival, and a bright, comfortable dining room. Its 4.7 rating from a modest 75 reviews and very high hidden-gem and local scores confirm it's more a neighbourhood favourite than a tourist stop, the kind of find that rewards anyone willing to venture slightly off the main sightseeing routes. The mid-range pricing and relaxed evening slots make it well suited to an easy, unhurried dinner with friends or family.

What people say
"We were craving a Sunday Roast and The Golden Tooth was a hidden gem that we will be visiting again. Fantastic service and well lit restaurant experience. We paid £28 for the beef and £26 for the pork which included all the trimmings. The Cauliflower cheese was £10 more, but delicious and worth it. The star of the meal were the roast potatoes in rosemary and the caramelised carrots which were exquisite. The beef and pork were great cuts and the crackling was perfect! The horseradish creime fraiche sauce for the beef was perfect and showcased the meat fantastically. If I had to be super critical. The sauces could have been served separately to not mix in the gravy on the plate. Or have the gravy in a separate jug on the table so we could pour ourselves and not have the Yorkshire pudding soaked on arrival. Also thicker gravy would have been ideal. I'm personally not a fan of gravy that a can't lather over my veggies. But I also get that's a personal preference. I definitely want to visit again and try out the whole fish plates which sound amazing. If the Sunday Roast is anything to go by this place has a bright future ahead and will definitely be supporting them going forward."
