Favourite Roast Dinner

My mother made the best ever Yorkshire pudding for Roast dinners. I certainly miss her cooking.

I'm not a big fan of Wetherspoons food so wouldn't have considered a roast dinner there. It's okaty for something cheap and cheerful occasionally but it wouldn't be somewhere I would choose to eat. I loved Wetherspoons when they first came to Northern Ireland but quality has went downhill.

Those pub chains are pretty dreadful. I suppose that they don't employ chefs who are even capable of roasting a joint of meat these days. Nearly everything comes pre-portioned and frozen and all the kitchen staff have to do is to cook it according to the instructions and make it look exactly as it does on the picture menu! We have a number of good pubs round here which do Sunday roasts (though mostly they only do them on Sundays). They do vary quite a bit in quality, however. One which we visited recently did what looked like a good roast dinner and, to tell the truth, the vegetables were done nicely and there was plenty on the plate but the meat (beef) seemed to have been cut with a chainsaw and I had three slabs which I simply couldn't tackle with the ordinary cutlery they provided. I had them wrapped and took them home. There was 400 grams (14 oz) of good meat which I minced and made into a cottage pie which gave four good servings!

To me it is not old fashioned and if they no longer served it there I would find someplace else to go.

I used only roast on Sundays usually when I lived there suzzy. It is sad to know now that these dinners are no longer being served, sign of the times? Love the Yorkshire puddings..I can still make them.

Sounds good to me. But then, I always did relish my meals.

I love roasted meat especially pork and chicken.

I guess you can call me "old fashioned" then.

Roast beef sound delish for me ;)

Haven't tasted turkey in my whole life

I like a roast dinner, but only have them a couple of times a year. Enjoy them quite a lot more
