roast dinners

British Sunday tradition

Roast dinners is the plural of roast dinner, the traditional British Sunday meal featuring roasted meat (typically beef, chicken, lamb, or pork) served with roasted potatoes, vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy.

The meal carries strong associations with family gatherings and weekend leisure: We always have roast dinners at my nan's house.
