Top 10 Sunday roasts in Glasgow

Porter & Rye is a culinary hotspot. Located in well-loved Finnieston, where you’ll find tonnes of trendy eateries, this New-York style restaurant truly stands out. On a Sunday, they run a set-lunch menu consisting of three courses – all for the grand total of £24 per person. It is fantastic value for money. While the only roast option available is beef, we promise it won’t disappoint. The delicately cooked meat is served with Yorkshire puddings, beef dripping potatoes, salt baked mash and seasonal veg with gravy. Starters are excellent too: the Smoked Mackerel Salad is a light and refreshing way to begin your meal. But, if you have some room, we recommend indulging in one of their refined desserts – like their Cherry and Chocolate Opera Cake.

The Loveable Rogue has long attracted visitors from all across the city – all of whom are most interested in the Sunday roast! The price point is fantastic, especially given the quality of ingredients and cooking: at just £35 for two people, you’re missing a trick not booking a table here. Though the roast itself offers only meat options, veggies fear not, on a Sunday you’ll find an entire section of the menu dedicated to meat-free options. This one isn’t for the faint hearted – the roast comes with brisket mac ‘n’ cheese and a large portion of garlic roasted potatoes. Arrive hungry and soak up the cosy intimate atmosphere.

Sunday’s at The Spanish Butcher are always busy and bustling. And with good reason too – their famous roast dinners have been drawing the city’s residents in since its opening. If you’re a vegetarian and ever felt slightly short-changed by the roast options, The Spanish Butcher (despite its meaty name!) has you covered. Alongside their more traditional offerings of Roasted Sirloin Beef and Turkey you’ll find a flavoursome “Cauliflower Steak” served with salsa verde piquillo peppers and caperberries. Their roasts are truly delectable, but why not start with one of the Spanish-inspired starters? The Jambon Iberico Croquetas and Seville Orange Gin Cured Salmon are not to be missed.

Looking for a sophisticated and luxurious Sunday roast? Then look no further. The Ubiquitous Chip has been serving up quality food since 1971. Choose from Roast Turkey Breast (complete with duck fat roasted potatoes, glazed root vegetables, chipolatas and leek and sage stuffing), Roast Chicken or Venison. If you’re looking for something less meaty, opt for their Charred Radicchio and Baked Feta. Expect exceptional service and beautiful surroundings. Booking is recommended!

The ubiquitous Sunday spot, The Butterfly and The Pig is popular for brunch (and some damn fine Bloody Marys), Sunday roast and evening drinks. Located right in the heart of the Southside, these guys have one of the best Sunday roasts in the city. Usually consisting of perfectly cooked beef, huge Yorkies, and crispy roast potatoes, served with flavoursome veg, it’s a great meal to catch up with friends and family over. 

Mini by name and Mini by nature, Mini Grill is a teeny tiny restaurant that books up fast. The Sunday roast here has won awards, and so it should have as these guys take their food really seriously! A range of meats are served up with giant Yorkies, rich gravy and plenty of veg. The staff are friendly, the food is great and it’s right in the centre of the city. What more could you want?

This place is a modern Scottish fine dining restaurant with a sophisticated bar in the heart of Glasgow.

The Sunday menu offers some mouthwatering options: Roast Rump of Beef, Pork Chop or Chicken with Roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, seasonal vegetables and jus; Chestnut & Truffle Risotto with shaved chestnuts, black truffle and parmesan; or Pan Seared Coley with spiced butter sauce, smoked aubergine purée, aubergine chutney and summer greens.
