Liverpool is the perfect destination for a family weekend or a night out with friends, whichever you are planning make sure you book in for a traditional Sunday roast in one of Liverpool’s best restaurants. 

There is no better way to spend time with family than to go out for a big family meal and what better way to end your weekend in Liverpool than to put your phones away and enjoy some family time around the table whilst devouring a roast dinner.

We have tried and tasted many roasts around the city and have narrowed it down to our ten favourite restaurants to give you some variety or roast dinner styles and locations to choose from.

Slim’s

If a traditional roast has become boring to you and you fancy something different, look no further than Slim’s. Your roast will be served up on a sharing tray and will contain smoked brisket, roast poussin or grilled seitan for the vegetarians. 

Slim’s do not hold back on the trimmings, filling the tray with roast potatoes, mash, cabbage, carrot and turnip, stuffing balls and the all important homemade Yorkshire pudding. You’ve got to be hungry/hungover to devour this man size meal. 

Slim’s don’t stop there, pair your roast with a delicious cocktail or a creamy milkshake to wash all that food down and if you’re still not full, ask for the dessert menu which usually contains a luxury brownie served with honeycomb and ice-cream so make sure you save room for one of those.
