Acclaimed Manchester restaurant Elnecot can add another string to its bow, as it has been named among the top 10 best Sunday roast dinners in the country.

Its Sunday roast offering has been placed in the spotlight, in a new study released ahead of ‘Roast Dinner Day’, which is on 4th November. Elnecot ranks at number 10 in a list of the Top 10 best reviewed Sunday roasts on Tripadvisor in the study compiled by Tombola.

It’s the only Manchester restaurant that features in the list, with the top spot in the study claimed by The Lion pub in Bristol, while number two is Busby and Wilds in Brighton. Taking third and fourth spot are two Leeds restaurants – The Fox & Hounds and Dill and Bay.

Elnecot offers a range of different roast meats as well as vegan and vegetarian offerings at its Blossom Street restaurant. They are served every Sunday from 1.30pm “until they run out”.

Prices start at £14.50 for the vegan or vegetarian nut roast option at Elnecot, with the vegan roast served without Yorkshire pudding but with extra seasonal vegetables. And you can also opt for any of the roast dishes as a kids portion for half price.
