Best Sunday roasts in Nottingham
Where to find the best Sunday roast in Nottingham, from pub classics to fine-dining interpretations.
The Sunday roast is one of the great institutions of British eating, and Nottingham takes it seriously. Whether you want a proper pub roast with all the trimmings, a riverside table, or a more refined kitchen's take on the classic, the city and its neighbourhoods deliver.
Across the city you'll find roasts at community pubs like The Burnt Stump in Arnold and The Square in Beeston, riverside options near the Embankment and Trent Bridge, and kitchen-led versions at places such as The Embankment Kitchen in the Meadows. The suburbs — West Bridgford, Sherwood, and beyond — are particularly strong, because that's where the family-pub roast tradition is healthiest.
A good roast comes down to the details: well-rested meat, properly crisp potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding with some height to it, seasonal veg, and gravy that means it. The best places book up fast, so reserving ahead for Sunday lunch is always wise.
