“If I could eat one final meal, it would be me Nan’s Sunday roast!” – Chef Ryan Lister ()

Traditionally celebrated every Sunday, a Sunday roast meal brings together three of life’s greatest pleasures: quality meats, mouthwatering sides, and convivial times with good company 🙌.

As integral to British culture as it is to Executive Chef Ryan Lister’s heritage, Sunday roast guarantees a meal with bold flavours, textures, and sauces. We serve each plate with roasted potatoes 🥔, carrots 🥕, cabbage 🥬, and pan gravy 🤤. And because you can’t have too much of a good thing, all roasts (not just beef) include Yorkshire pudding—because in our kitchen, the rules are meant to be broken 🔪.

Join us every Sunday to slice it, rip it, and soak it all up. Whether you’re craving a meaty feast or something a little lighter, we have a plate with your name on it. Choose from rump of beef & horseradish cream, leg of lamb & mint sauce, pork & apple sauce, prime rib & horseradish cream, or cauliflower steak & mushroom jus.
