Sunday roast is it still eaten

We had roast pork today, with roast potatoes and tenderstem broccoli,. We do not have a roast every Sunday, but I always make Sunday lunch special. In winter lots of game and venison. In summer salmon, prawns and asparagus.

DD loves a roast. She lives alone, so will roast a chicken piece, brings back tins of confit duck back from France and needs np encouragment to go out to a carvery.

We have just washed up after roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, roast potato wedges, gravy, onions, carrots, dwarf beans, courgettes, the last four from the garden. Mainly cooked by DH, he loves Sunday dinner, I cook the rest of the week. Just us two. We eat about 2 pm, then not much else rest of day.

DS, DIL and two GC, 19 and 16, come occasionally and always enjoy a roast as they rarely have one.

I don’t since my husband died, but previously we had a joint every Sunday, at 1pm. The oven was put on a timer before church.
In more recent years, a beef joint would make four meals for the two of us: cooked on Sunday then sliced up and frozen in gravy, with some left cold for Monday. This represented excellent value making the initial cost of good quality meat well worth it- and the oven only on once. It helped on a busy Sunday that there was just veg to do. Yorkshires freeze ok too. I really miss it but am not cooking that for one. I mostly have a pork or chicken piece cooked with veg in the air fryer, a good second best.

Mum made Sunday roast - easy, cooks during Church.

As vegans, often we've the trimmings. The ones we like. I never liked meat apart from small amounts of chicken, lamb, and salmon - being vegan is easy. Trimmings and main consisting of pulses.

I like to cook one for the family every other week. They enjoy it - GS particularly - and so do I, though I’m not as organised as I used to be. It’s the only time I have people round my table these days. Today I am cooking one for myself because I’m running my freezer down and have half a chicken to get rid of. It could save myself a lot of work by going to the pub in the village that serves an excellent Sunday lunch!

We’ll be having roast chicken later, roasties and three veg, it doesn’t take that long. My daughter, in her 30’s, cooks one about once a month, one of her children is vegetarian.

My problem with Sunday lunches at pubs etc is, we both can do it better.

Yes, we regularly have one - but we have ours at dinner time, not lunch time. If there's family here, plenty for everyone, or if there's just the two of us, it gives plenty of leftovers for the next day or so. I don't find it much more work than cooking any other meal, to be honest.

I’m just about to do roast pork with all the trimmings…as they say. Only have Sunday roast though when we have visitors.

I think a lot of people go out for their Sunday lunch - carveries are still quite popular, and, I suppose, good value if there’s only a few of you. By the time the cost of a joint and heating the oven for a couple of hours is factored in, plus walking away from the dirty pots, it will be quite appealing to many.

Personally my DH and I rarely bother with a Sunday roast, preferring other meal options; and going out for a carvery holds little appeal, either, as I dislike queuing for my food in busy pubs/restaurants. The only times we tend to go in for a traditional roast at home is at Easter and Christmas, and very, very occasionally other times if we really fancy a Sunday lunch.

I think that a regular Sunday lunch at home is probably not as popular as it once was, but perhaps there will be plenty of posters coming on to prove me wrong by saying they always have one every week😁.

No...probably more so in the Winter but tbh it's not my favourite meal.
A lot of effort for just 2 of us, normally something easy.

I still love the odd roast dinner perhaps once a month but it never takes longer than 2hrs to prepare when it’s just us two and that would include a pudding!

Never have one after November as I wouldn’t enjoy a turkey and trimmings on Christmas Day otherwise!

DD (actually Son in law) still have one each week but not necessarily on a Sunday, depending on which day GCs are around.

After our phone call this morning my friend was going to cook the usual Sunday lunch for her husband and herself.
I don't bother with a roast. Not worth it just for me.

We have Sunday Roast most weeks, and usually I cook it, cold meat and whatever for a couple of days then, curry or Sweet and Sour after that. Plum crumble for afters
Pork today, £7 all veg and plums from the garden, we do compete for the kitchen, my wife gives in easily.

I don’t think any of my kids would cook a roast dinner, most of them are vegans/ vegetarians anyway, plus it takes the whole of Sunday morning to cook , then you are too full to do anything in the afternoon except sleep, so a waste of a day. More of them would go out for lunch on a Sunday, Gastro pubs do roasts .

We always have a Sunday Roast apart from July & August when it is warm, as do our AC.
