Sunday Roasts

A leisurely Sunday spent exploring a sleepy English village captures the very essence of the Great West Way - especially when you add in a stop at the local pub for that most English of meals; a Sunday Roast. 

Golden roast potatoes; crisp on the outside and fluffy within. Tender roast meats with rivers of rich gravy. Giant, golden Yorkshire puddings. Side plates piled with seasonal vegetables or creamy cauliflower cheese. England loves nothing better than a Sunday roast. And these days, you're likely to find Sunday lunch menus sporting more modern twists on the traditional classics, not to mention plenty of vegetarian options to choose from too, from herb-filled nutroasts to delightful vegetable wellingtons.  

You will find roast dinners served up on a Sunday lunchtime along the whole stretch of the Great West Way - in fine-dining restaurants, riverside tearooms and cosy country pubs. So gather together with friends and spend a long, relaxed lunchtime enjoying this hearty English tradition. The ideal treat after a long walk through the quintessentially English countryside of the Great West Way.
