Sunday lunch
Midday weekend feast
Sunday lunch is a substantial midday meal traditionally eaten on Sundays, especially in British culture.
It typically centers on roasted meat with vegetables and gravy—the classic "Sunday roast." The meal carries associations of family gathering and leisure: We always have Sunday lunch at my parents' house.
In British English, the meal is lunch even when eaten in early afternoon.
