The Sunday Roast is taken very seriously at the Independent. Which is why it is one of their busiest days.

There is a choice of different roasts served with potatoes and seasonal vegetables, all drenched in a deep rich gravy.

But it is always the Yorkshire pudding which is the decider. Crisp on the top, slightly soft and stodgy towards the middle. Perfect.

Closely followed by the potatoes. Neglect the spuds and you ruin the roast.

But not here.

The pub is run hands on by the owners who bought what was previously The Walmer Castle. They are fiercely independent of any brewery or pub chain and it showsin everything they do.

The Nags Head in Chichester always lays on a good carvery.

Not just on Sundays either.

There is a tempting array of roasts with all the trimmings. Light crispy yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, fresh vegetables served every evening as well as for lunch on Saturdays.

A carvery like no other at Langbrook Farm.

Yes it might be part of a restaurant chain but the traditional carvery at The Langbrook Farm in Havant is worth a try. A great place to take the whole family, friendly, welcoming and warm. They also serve a hearty breakfast as well as pub classics and a selection of homemade cakes which are all freshly baked in the restaurant.

Perfect roast pork, crackling and apple sauce

At The Gravy Boat which is situated opposite the harbour in Littlehampton.

Offering a choice of meats with all the trimmings. We chose a cold windy day to wander along the harbour wall and it was an easy decision to settle in for what was an excellent meal.

Crispy succulent roast potatoes and an appetising array of vegatables soon assured that our plates were full to over flowing.
