Sunday Roasts

The Admiral Hardy does the kind of Sunday that asks you to clear the afternoon. The roasts (beef, pork, or chicken) come with all the proper sides: Yorkshires that have real heft, potatoes worth ordering for themselves, greens that taste like vegetables should. The gravy's thick enough to justify pudding afterwards.

It's a session, not a quick bite. Bring a paper, settle with a pint, and the afternoon disappears. They serve from midday and keep going while they have food left, so book ahead if you want a seat guaranteed.
