Best Of British - Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings

A Sunday Tradition

What could be better than a classic Sunday roast dinner?

Sunday roast dinner originated during King Henry VII's reign in the 15th century when his royal guards were given extra portions of beef to help them recover from their duties. The tradition of eating a roast dinner on Sundays has continued ever since, and it is now a staple of British cuisine. There are many different ways to make a roast dinner, but the most traditional version includes roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, and vegetables.
