Few meals are as comforting and beloved as the traditional Sunday roast, and at Eastham Ferry Hotel, we take this British classic seriously. A hearty plate of tender roasted meat, golden crispy potatoes, rich gravy, and fresh seasonal vegetables—there’s simply nothing better to round off the weekend.
The tradition of the Sunday roast dates back to the 15th century, originating during the reign of King Henry VII. Families would place a joint of meat in the oven before heading to church, ensuring they returned home to a perfectly cooked meal. Over time, this weekly feast became a cherished ritual, symbolising family togetherness and a satisfying end to the week. Today, the Sunday roast remains a quintessential British experience, enjoyed by all generations.
A good Sunday roast is all about quality ingredients and expert cooking. At Eastham Ferry Hotel, we slow-roast our meats to perfection, ensuring that each bite is tender and flavourful. Whether you prefer succulent beef with a side of Yorkshire pudding, a juicy roast chicken, or a delicious nut roast for a vegetarian option, we have something for everyone.
Pair your meal with one of our carefully selected wines or a locally brewed ale to enhance the experience. And, of course, no roast is complete without a generous serving of homemade gravy, made using rich bone-marrow and slow-cooked stock.
Our cosy atmosphere, friendly service, and stunning waterfront views make the Eastham Ferry Hotel the ideal setting for a relaxed Sunday meal with family or friends. With the comforting aroma of freshly cooked roasts filling the air and the warm hospitality of our team, it’s the perfect way to unwind and indulge. Whether you’re a regular or visiting for the first time, our Sunday roast is sure to become a highlight of your weekend tradition.
