Sunday roasts are a staple of British culture, with many still traditionally choosing to indulge in a roast on the last day of the week.
Whether you’re there for the yorkshire puds, honey-glazed parsnips or for the main star of the plate - the meat, it is very rare to find a person in the UK who doesn’t enjoy a roast dinner.
But there’s always a debate on how good a roast can be, and where the best places to eat one is.
