Britain's 'best roast dinner' is so good pub has three year waiting list to get one

A Bristol pub's Sunday roast is proving so popular there is currently a three-year waiting list.

That means people looking to book one of the 7 tables available at The Bank Tavern need to find some time in April 2023 or later - by which time at least coronavirus restrictions will probably have been eased.

The £9.99 roast was named best in Britain last year by the Observer Food Monthly Awards, while it also won a Bristol Good Food Award in 2018.

But with just 160 cooked a week it's hard to get one.

A spokesman told The Sun: “We’re fully booked until April 2023. There is nothing standard about our Sunday roasts.”

Costing just £9.95, you can choose between beef, pork, chicken or a veggie option - all served with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, swede, creamy leeks and seasonal vegetables.

If you up your order to three courses, it costs £14.95.

Landlord Sam said: “We don’t repeat the same menu and although we always have beef we also do pork, some vegetarian options and perhaps venison or poultry.

“We change the starters and desserts weekly so the menu is never the same.”

All the food is as local as it can be.

The meat comes from West Country farms, while landlord Sam Gregory often catches and serves up local deer and rabbit too.

Regulars at the Bristol pub even chip in with spare produce grown in their allotments.

And all that food's not gone to waste in lockdown wither, with the pub suppling hundreds of takeaway meals.
