The best carveries for a Sunday roast in Leeds, according to you

That is this weekend’s roast sorted then! 😋

There is nothing quite like tucking into a mouth-watering roast dinner on a Sunday.

However, you might not always want to slave over a hot stove to make it all come together. It can take a lot of effort to prepare a roast on a weekend, even if a home-made meal is often worth it.

Whether you are the one doing the cooking, or someone else in the family, you might want to give the chef a break. Heading out to a carvery on a Sunday to enjoy a roast without the cooking - or the cleaning afterwards - can be quite the treat.

Given the on-going cost of living crisis, you might find that you aren’t dining out for a meal as often as you may have in the past. So when you actually do, it is important to make sure it is utterly delicious and worth spending your hard earned money.

The Yorkshire Evening Post turned to our readers to see the spots they recommend the most in Leeds. The suggestions include the following:

One of our readers recommended The Hope Inn, York Road. They wrote: “Fresh ingredients, value for money and the best roast potatoes.”

For another, The Wheatsheaf at Sherburn in Elmet is worth tucking into. They succinctly explained: “Excellent and reasonable.”

To some of our readers, The Anchor at Whixley is a more further afield option that is worth making the effort to seek out. One said: “Not in Leeds but The Anchor at Whixley nr the A59 to York is brilliant and not expensive!”

Another echoed: “100% worth the drive.”

In another suggestion, one of our readers backed the Toby Carvery restaurant in Oulton as the “best in Yorkshire”.

For more of our readers, The White Swan in Yeadon stands out. With one describing it as the “best around”.

Looking a bit further back, plenty of our readers were also nostalgic for The Little Londoner back in the day.

One explained: “It used to be The Little Londoner back in the 70s early 80s, that Carvery was something really special then and the prices were very reasonable.”
