Traditional Sunday Lunch
Whilst not a carvery one of the best Sunday roasts in a quaint village on the South Coast can be found at the Coal Exchange in Emsworth.
There is nothing particularly special about it other than it is wholesome pub food
And the pudding to follow.
A generous plate of home cooked apple crumble with lashings of cream and a fire in winter.
Where the taste of East meets West. A typical English Sunday roast spiced and reinvented with the flavours of India.
A classic twist to an established tradition. Asha’s Sunday lunch menu in Manchester has combined their contemporary Indian cuisine with a British institution: the Sunday roast.
The two course menu features Eastern spiced roasts, such as a tandoori chicken duo of roast breast and leg, served with methi mushroom, masala roasted carrots, cumin potatoes, Indian bread and makhani gravy.
Alternatively slow-roasted leg of lamb, cumin potatoes, coconut beans, masala roasted carrots, a spiced Yorkshire pudding and salan gravy, or tandoori masala roasted butternut squash with paneer ka soola, cumin potatoes, garlic spinach, coconut beans, and makhani gravy.
With sides including, homemade spiced Yorkshire puddings, Lamb fat roast potatoes, cheesy chicken tikka makhani fries, extra fine green beans with garlic, mustard and coconut, cheddar baked gratinated makhani cauliflower cheese.
But it is the cheesecake and Indian bread pudding for dessert that caught my attention. Slices of bread fried in ghee, soaked in rabri and topped with saffron milk, pistachio, almonds and cashew nuts.
Not a Sunday Roast. But just as good on any other day of the week.
In this case it’s Thursdays. Well known in the area and supported by the locals Roast Day at The Deli at Aldwick.
Two home cooked roasts served roast potatoes, crispy parsnips, cheesy leeks, carrot and swede purée, carrots, kale, Yorkshire pudding and rich homemade gravy
A small family run cafe and deli. Specialising in simple wholesome food, cakes and their selection of rocky road sweet bites for which they have a built up scary reputation.
Out in the sticks. Or to be more precise Inn at the Sticks for one of the best Sunday roasts to be found in the UK.
There is a choice of roast chicken breast wrapped in Carmarthen ham, slow cooked shoulder of Welsh lamb or roast strip loin of Eynon’s beef and Yorkshire pudding,
All served with roast potatoes, Grandma’s stuffing, cauliflower cheese, seasonal vegetables and homemade gravy.
A short walk from the castle, it is situated in the centre of the village of Llansteffan on the Carmarthenshire coast.
Guests can also stay over with three of their rooms being dog friendly.
Well worth making a weekend of it.
The Nags Head in Chichester always lays on a good carvery.
Not just on Sundays either.
