The best places in Leeds to get a carvery Sunday roast

Where to grab your Sunday best

Sophie Smith - 17th March 2022

If you're not having a roast dinner on a Sunday then really what are you doing out in Leeds.

Leeds really does have a wealth of foodie options: from award-winning Michelin star restaurants to some of the best greasy grab-and-go 2am kebabs, there's really something for every hour of the day.

On the day of rest, our attention turns towards a British classic. The humbled roast dinner with multiple helpings of thick gravy, piled high with cuts of meats, roasted potatoes and all the veggies we can possibly cram on to a plate.

Whilst we do love a roast dinner that comes with all the above on a plate, ready for us to tuck in to: there's something about a carvery, especially the kind where you can head back over for seconds, that takes our Sunday dinner to a different level.

Here's where to fill up in and around Leeds...

Hawthorne Farm, Yeadon

There's everything from a small veggie carvery with a midweek discount to the huge Carvery Ultimate Weekend portion, which comes as a large plate with three traditional Yorkshire puddings and three pigs-in-blankets. Take your pick from our 14-hour slow-roasted meats, our best-ever, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, a wide range of vegetables, and all the trimmings.

Serving up carveries every single day of the week- there's a whopping thirty different carvery options on the menu to take advantage of at Hawthorne Farm in Yeadon.

Corn Mill Lodge Hotel and Restaurant, Farnley

The Corn Mill Hotel and Restaurant serves their Sunday roast 12-3 pm and pride themselves on cooking up roasts with freshly cooked seasonal vegetables, and our renowned homemade Yorkshire puddings. Reviews state that "the highlight of this meal was the roast beef which you could cut with your fork"- so we have high expectations for this one.

Located on Pudsey Road in Farnley, The Corn Mill Hotel and Restaurant is open to guests staying in the hotel, but is open to reservations from those looking for their roast fix too.

The Yew Tree Inn, Otley

The Yew Tree Inn in Otley offers three meats with homemade yorkies, mash, roasties, parsnips and unlimited vegetables for £8.95. Plus, they're one of the most dog-friendly pubs in and around Leeds, there’s a roaring fire for them to warm up by as you down your weekend pint and there’s plenty of space underneath the tables for even the largest of dogs to lie down and nap.

Now, adding to their dog-friendly amenities, the pubs is offering a mini Sunday roast that’s perfect for your companion. The pub is also collecting donations for 'Your Pet Food Bank Charity' in Sheffield who have a lorry going to Ukraine before the end of the month: so feel free to bring in your donations and your dog for a roast.

Man Vs Roast, Hyde Park

Home of the takeaway roast, Man V Roast is a student favourite for a whole host of reasons. Charging a minimal amount for copious gravy, thick cut slices of beef or lamb- and the offering of unlimited tea and coffee: this is the perfect stop for anyone wanting to cure that Sunday hangover with carbs aplenty (especially if you can't face sitting in a restaurant).

Each box contains meat and two veg, including gravy, carrots, peas, cauliflower, cheese, roasted or mashed spuds, stuffing and a Yorkshire pudding for just £7.

Tobys Carvery, Chapel Allerton

Sometimes you just want a carvery and know what to expect. There's clearly a reason that everyone thinks of Toby's when a meat and carb Sunday craving comes along, and here in Leeds there's quite a few to choose from.

The Chapel Allerton spot is easy to access from the city centre and has plenty of room inside. Make sure to book in advance for any location though, these chain pubs book up days in advance and carvery places are limited. On the menu, you'll find a choice of meat with a Yorkshire pud before you get to load up on potatoes two ways, unlimited veggies and gravy galore.
