Piping hot roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and huge Yorkshire puddings are just a few reasons why we love a good roast on the weekend. And the city is filled with plenty of places slinging out roast dinners (possibly with a cheeky pint), from cosy watering holes to pretty pubs and high-end restaurants. Make your afternoons a little more wholesome with our roundup of the best Sunday roasts in Nottingham.
In the heart of the city, The Shamrock Social is one of Nottingham's most buzzing Irish bars. Get down here most nights and you can sup on creamy pints and dance a jig to live music.

One of the best places for a Sunday lunch in Nottingham city centre, Browns Brasserie & Bar is a fab shout.
