Sunday Roast Heaven: Great Yarmouth's Best Pubs

There's nothing quite like a proper Sunday roast, and Great Yarmouth certainly doesn't disappoint when it comes to finding a pub serving up a fantastic plateful. Whether you're a local or visiting our sunny seaside town, especially if you're staying with us at the St George Hotel, you'll want to know where to find the very best. So, put on your Sunday best and prepare for a culinary adventure!

The Haven: A Coastal Classic

A popular choice with locals and tourists alike, The Haven is known for its generous portions and friendly atmosphere. Situated near the seafront, it's a perfect spot to enjoy a roast after a brisk walk along the beach. Their roast beef is particularly popular, cooked to perfection and served with all the trimmings – fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, and a rich gravy.

The Troll Cart: Wetherspoon's Value

If you're seeking a budget-friendly option without compromising on taste, The Troll Cart, a Wetherspoon's pub, is a great choice. They offer a traditional roast with a choice of meats, all at a very reasonable price. It's a bustling pub with a lively atmosphere, perfect for a casual Sunday lunch. Plus, it's easily accessible from the St George Hotel, making it a convenient option for our guests.

The Nelson: A Traditional Gem

For a more traditional pub experience, head to The Nelson. This historic pub offers a cosy setting and a menu packed with classic British dishes. Their Sunday roast is a highlight, featuring locally sourced ingredients and a focus on quality. Expect a hearty meal and a warm welcome. It's a bit further out from the immediate seafront, but a worthwhile trip for a true taste of Norfolk.

The Kings Arms: Riverside Dining

Enjoy a Sunday roast with a view at The Kings Arms, located alongside the River Bure. The pub offers a scenic setting to enjoy your meal with the comings and goings of boats and river life. Their Sunday carvery offers a great range of options and meats, allowing you to customise your perfect plate.

The Smokehouse: A Modern Twist

If you're looking for something a little different, The Smokehouse offers a modern twist on the traditional Sunday roast. They slow-cook their meats to perfection, infusing them with smoky flavours. Their roast dinners are served with creative sides and sauces, making for a unique and delicious experience. This is a popular place, so booking in advance is always recommended.

The Importance of the Trimmings

Of course, a great Sunday roast is more than just the meat. The trimmings are essential! Look out for pubs that offer crispy roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, a generous helping of vegetables, and, of course, a rich and flavourful gravy. The quality of the gravy can really make or break a roast, so be sure to choose wisely!
