roast dinner
Traditional British feast
A roast dinner is a traditional British meal centered on roasted meat—typically beef, chicken, lamb, or pork—served with roasted potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy.
It's the customary Sunday lunch in Britain, a weekly ritual bringing families together: We always have a roast dinner at Nan's on Sundays.
The meal is hearty, often requiring hours to prepare.
