Succulent meat cooked to perfection. Potatoes that are equal parts crispy and creamy. Fluffy Yorkshire pudding, roasted vegetables and lashings of gravy. The classic British (and Irish) Sunday roast makes for an ideal family meal out.

It originated as a dish to be eaten following church service, and most establishments typically only serve it on Sunday afternoons. Read on for a list of casual venues, upmarket restaurants and cosy pubs in Singapore for your Sunday roast fix.
