What time do you usually have your Sunday roast

[Lunchtimehelp]

Just that really!

I usually do mine around 18:00. I wonder if having it at lunch time would be better as then I have time to relax in the afternoon, not getting kids ready for bed etc ready for school the next day!

My mum always did roast for lunch around 1pm but I alwsys do mine for like 6 or 7pm

Cauliflower cheese with a roast is an abomination IMO, but it's great roasted.

Never. I'm ancient, and I never cooked "a roast" in my life....horrible meal. I can't believe so many people still eat them.

I cook a roast for my husband most weeks and it’s usually ready about 5pm.

I aim for 5pm-ish, it usually ends up being nearer to 6 as I'm not the best with timing everything!
Growing up we always had it super early, between 12 and 1 and then we'd have some cheese on toast or soup in the evening. My parents still do that now as they don't like to be "waiting around" all day for their roast.

We rarely do as DS isn't keen, but he's off to university in a week so DH and I are very much looking forward to a Sunday roast again. I even have the first one planned.
Gammon, roasties, cauliflower cheese, braised leeks and turnip (swede if you're English)
We will have it late afternoon with a lovely bottle of red wine.

I’m ancient too (53) and I’ve never cooked one. I would have no clue about all the timings. My family absolutely love them though. Luckily for us all, my husband is a passionate cook. I say ‘it’s so much work’. He says ‘it’s really easy’ and then spends about 4 hours in the kitchen, happy as a clam.

Do they ‘wait around’ on every other day for their dinner? 😁

I don’t.

When kids were children about 4.30pm then off to evensong

Hahaha only on Sundays! They seem to be able to wait every other day! They're very set in their ways my parents 😀

Late breakfast / brunch 10/11am
Sunday Lunch any time between 2-4pm
Leftovers and wine for dinner.

When the dc were primary/early secondary age it would be about 6pm or occasionally 1pm-ish if being out and about

No to red cabbage, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puds, cauliflower cheese with every roast

6/7 pm Sunday followed by board games. Not so much in the summer months but as the nights draw in the boats dinner Sunday becomes our Sunday evening ritual 😆

I make a most most Sundays from as long as its not super hot. Ideally at lunchtime with an afternoon relaxing but if something is going on I'll do it for 5pm. Id rather have such a big meal at lunchtime

6pm, most Sundays when the weather is not too hot. Love the leftovers the next day.

Some sort of meat (even if its just chops, but usually a chicken or turkey breast), roast potatoes, lots of different veg (often tray bake), thick gravey, and whatever sauce is appropriate (Cranberry, horseradish, mint etc.).

I do it for 2pm. DHs family hate this as they have theirs at 7.30pm. But it’s Sunday lunch/dinner not Sunday tea! It’s to be had after church aka the afternoon before a light evening meal.

It is easy. It’s not complicated techniques just timing. Your husband sounds like me… hours of cooking is like meditation to me.

Sat lunchtime. Eases us nicely into the weekend and great leftovers for Sun!!

Sunday dinner to us means in the evening. Our dinner is always eaten in the evening!

Yet that’s not the spirit of Sunday Dinner. Eating a large midday meal on Sunday followed weekly church services. It marked the end of the religious fast held before church.

Ah well I’m atheist so it’s just a meal to me.

Through the week, Tea (some all it Dinner) 4.30 ish, Sunday Dinner, 1.30 to 2pm.
Then relax!!

About 3pm, then we only need one meal. Maybe some toast before bed.

I’m Scottish and have had one almost every Sunday of MY life as did most of the people I knew growing up. IT was often at Grannie’s house. NOw my grandchildren often come to me . ITs very much a Scotttish thing
