For many families, Sunday lunch has long been the centre of the week, a time to gather and share something prepared with care. For over 35 years we have worked with a trusted network of family farms, rearing native breeds on pasture and in harmony with nature. It is this patient approach to farming that gives our meat its depth of flavour and integrity. Discover our selection of roasting joints, chosen for provenance, character and the simple pleasure of gathering together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the meats in the Sunday Roast collection truly grass fed and pasture raised?
Yes, every joint in our Sunday Roast collection comes from animals that have been 100% grass fed and pasture raised on trusted family farms in the South West, ensuring natural diets and sustainable farming practices that enhance flavour and integrity.
Which joint should I choose for my first proper Sunday roast?
A slow grown whole chicken is the forgiving place to start, and the one most likely to convert a household. For beef, topside is the classic carving joint; for something richer, lamb shoulder looks after itself in a low oven.
What is the difference between topside and silverside?
Neighbouring cuts from the round, but topside is the more tender roasting joint, best served pink. Silverside works harder in life, so it suits slower roasting or the traditional boiled-and-glazed treatment.
How do I get crisp roast potatoes to go with it?
Fat and fury: parboil, rough up the edges, and roast in smoking-hot fat, ideally the beef dripping or goose fat saved from a previous roast. One joint's fat becomes the next Sunday's potatoes; that is the old economy of the roast.
How long should the joint rest?
Longer than feels comfortable: 20 to 30 minutes for a big joint, loosely covered. Resting lets the juices settle back through the meat, and it frees the oven for the potatoes to finish at full temperature.
Can I do a Sunday roast for just two people?
Easily. A rack of lamb, a small topside or turkey breast joint roasts quickly and carves for two with sandwiches to spare. The whole chicken remains the best value: one roast, then soup and sandwiches from the rest.
What do I do with the leftovers?
Monday's dinner, if you plan it: cold cuts with jacket potatoes, roast meat sandwiches, a quick hash, and always stock from the bones. A good joint should feed you twice; that is half its economy.
