11 Tasty Bristol Sunday Roasts

11 of Bristol’s best roasts

I’ve been on a quest to find Bristol’s best roast dinner for a while now. The places listed below are my personal recommendations and hopefully cater for a few different options, whether you’re looking for a cosy pub roast with mates, or a more glamorous setting.

1. The Bank Tavern, City Centre

Price: £9.95 for main, £13.50 for 2 courses or £14.95 for 3 courses

Why is it a good Sunday roast? Crazy good value, great presentation and a warm welcome, no wonder they won Best Roast at the 2019 Observer Food Monthly Awards (plus countless other awards)!

They’re booked up till 2023 but they take walk-ins during good weather so you can sit outside, and there’s always a chance of cancellation.

2. The Vittoria, Whiteladies Road

Price: £13-£16

Why is it a good Sunday roast? A simple but high quality menu in a relaxed and cosy pub, we love the oxtail stuffed onions on the side!

3. ABOE at Cloak & Dagger, Cheltenham Road

Price:  £14.50 – £17.50

Why is it a good Sunday roast? Why is it a good Sunday roast? If you want a more cheffy roast supercharged with flavour, this is the one! Choose from wasabi-glazed pork, jerusalem artichoke with XO sauce or umami short rib.
