Would you be disappointed to be invited to someone's house on Easter Sunday and not be served a roast?

I've got 12 adults and 6 kids coming on Easter Sunday, for an Easter egg hunt / games and food. I've not specified what the food will be and I'm wondering if people will be disappointed to not get a roast dinner?

At this stage I'm a bit fed up of roast dinners and wanting to embrace spring! I'm thinking a slow roast leg of lamb marinated in harissa, and some bone in/skin on chicken thighs roasted with garlic thyme and honey. I could then do a couple of salad type sides, and some flatbreads??

I would think I'd been invited for a roast yes. I'm not actually doing one myself though but have told the guests it's not a roast.

DF is having her family over in the afternoon for an Easter Egg hunt and had told them all it's afternoon tea.

I wouldn’t care what the food was…I’m at my DDs tomorrow….she’s not said what she cooking …it really doesn’t matter.

To be honest. I'd be gutted at the lack of roast. But I'd smile politely and thank you for a lovely lunch and you'd never know how disappointed I was.

I get you. Easter Roast has always been a big thing in our family, complete with a leg of lamb.

Went to DILS one year and they'd made sweet & sour chicken, from a jar.

DH said I hid my disappointment utter devastation well

@ohpumpkinseeds whats you’re address? I’m in. Love an Easter egg hunt.

Why is having a roast important at Easter? We rarely have a roast at any time of the year. Tomorrow we’re going out for brunch - it’s a Greek deli. Lovely food and atmosphere.

Not if the guest are adequately fed.

Where we live I'd probably be more likely to expect a barbecue on Easter Sunday.

Easter BBQ sounds good. I don't think our guests woukd want to be outside for long though, it's forecast a cool 12 degrees over lunch tomorrow
