Your Bristol Favourites: Sunday lunches
Last month we asked the readers of Bristol24/7 to tell us their favourite Sunday roast in Bristol. Here are 10 of the best responses:
The Barley Mow, The Dings
is needed now More than ever
“Pork roast was so delicious and the crackling… mmmh.”
Claire Charras
The Cambridge Arms, Redland
“My vote for Bristol’s best Sunday lunch goes to the Cambridge on Coldharbour Road – it’s great value and really tasty. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and there is outdoor space for the summer. It has the feel of a country pub in the city and you can even take your dog in!”
Kate Reid
The Cross Hands, Fishponds
“Aside from the hearty, mouth-watering roast, they provide a truly welcoming atmosphere appropriate for all ages. Upon arrival you can quench your thirst with a local ale, or in true Bristolian fashion, a bubbly cider. As for the roast, it’s a truly succulent and tasty experience, from the wide selection of meats including yummy pulled pork, to the tasty meaty gravy, to the golden crispy roasties, everything has been made with care and attention to fill up hungry tummies.”

The Greenbank, Easton
“Greenbank’s very good and I hate pub roasts as a rule.”
Fran Harkness
The Green Man, Kingsdown
“The boys at the Green Man, Bez and Tim, have nailed it in every way. Best meat, fabulous veg, gravy and portions sized to satisfy the hungriest appetite. The demand for tables on a Sunday speaks for itself, packed every week so book ahead.”
Steve Nicholls
King’s Head, Whitehall
“King’s Head – its Caribbean Sunday roast is insanely good.”
Nebil Messoud
The Lansdown, Clifton
“!!!!!”
Simon Greaves
Maitreya Social, Easton
“Friendly and substantial. Vegetarian but no stinting on the essential elements of Sunday lunch: Yorkshire pudding, roasties and good gravy. Because these are served with nut roast or chestnut wellington you will still have room for pud – dark choc tart or toffee polenta cake with popcorn, Sunday heaven.”
Pauline Sewards
Royal Navy Volunteer, King Street
“Triple meat tower of lusciousness good meat good veg good beer max trims and proper gravy!”

Yurt Lush, Clocktower Yard
“The best one I’ve had in Bristol.”
