The Lawn Club

Cocktail Club and 3 other offers

Welcome to The Lawn Club, a happening bar and kitchen located in the bustling Spinningfields area of Manchester, boasting a sunny terrace area and even an outdoor bar. Their weekend sessions are the perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, with banging topside beef and pork loin crackling roasts, live music, and chilled vibes. But if you really want to go all out (and let's be real, who doesn't?), go for The Sharer Roast. It's an absolute beauty, with three types of meat, four Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes splashed with a ton of their famed three-day gravy.

11 Central

It'll be hard not to inhale a Sunday roast at 11 Central as soon as you smell the delights coming from its kitchen. Pull up a seat overlooking the waterfront and enjoy the likes of roast striploin of beef with truffle cauliflower cheese, rosemary and garlic goose fat potatoes alongside winter greens, or a veggie chestnut version that's just as moreish. 

The Woodstock Arms

From the three-meat feast for sharing to individual roasts of chicken, nut, beef and slow-cooked pork belly, The Woodstock Arms accompanies all its sumptuous Sunday plates with plenty of trimmings. Think Yorkshire puddings, crisp thyme-roasted potatoes, buttery savoy cabbage and roasted root vegetables.

Ducie Street Warehouse

Think you know Sunday roasts? You ain't seen nothing until you've been to Ducie Street Warehouse. With a spread that includes dry-aged shorthorn beef sirloin, rosemary roasted leg of lamb, a weekly changing vegan roast, a dedicated cauliflower cheese menu, and plenty more, this sexy spot has all you foodies sorted.

Libertine

From the brains behind Cottonopolis and Edinburgh Castle comes Libertine, the Withington hangout that's serving pork belly with cooked apple sauce or roasted harissa cauliflower for all you veggies. These plates come with beef dripping roasties, honey-glazed carrots, savoy cabbage, a Yorkshire pud and lashings of gravy.

FOLK

Neighbourhood destination FOLK is known for its mouthwatering fare, including their latest Sunday roast offering; that's beef, chicken, seabass or a vegan mushroom, cranberry and pistachio Wellington. As for the trimmings? Expect moreish cauliflower cheese alongside honey-glazed pigs in blankets, roast tatties and more.

Hispi

An ideal choice for the best Sunday roast in Greater Manchester, Hispi is a swish neighbourhood bistro that's a stand-out Didsbury favourite. It's £28 for two courses, while three cost £32, which includes the likes of honey-glazed belly bacon, toffee apple pavlova and more.

The Con Club

After a Sunday roast in Altrincham? The Con Club not only has that famous rooftop tipi, but also a whole host of options come your weekend feast. Expect harissa-glazed chicken skewers and wild mushroom arancini to start, followed up with beef, lamb or chicken with bubbling cauliflower cheese and swede.

Elnecot

This Ancoats venue isn't just about the small plates (although they really are something to swoon over), as there's a mean Sunday roast on the menu too. Head on over to Elnecot for the chance to tuck into weekly specials, alongside a selection of handcrafted cocktails.

The Chorlton Tap

For a Sunday roast dinner in Chorlton, there's no better place than this boozer. Famed for its hearty offering, The Chorlton Tap has the largest selection across the area on its menu, which can all be washed down by the craft beer the venue is equally well-known for.

Zouk

Vowing for the title of best roast in Manchester is Zouk, whose Indian twist on the Sunday dinner comes with spicy gravy. To top it off? There's platters to share, a special masala lobster to try, and the usual starters of samosas or a mixed grill.

The Wharf

Sundays call for cosying up in wooden interiors, tucking into plates of comfort food favourites and washing it all down with a few freshly poured pints. And it's not just roasts on offer either, as The Wharf has steak burgers and cheese, onion and potato pie too.
