Roast Dinners

The Dales Chef

Friday, 19 December 2025 - 8 minutes

From Roast Beef to Roast Chicken, Pork, Duck, Lamb and of course Turkey, there are so many great meats we enjoy for our traditional Sunday Dinner.  But what are the best accompaniments to go with the star of the show at each meal?

Bruce Elsworth looks at the traditions, where did our roast originate and I bet you can't guess why Henry the VII's guards were called Beefeaters!?

Being the week before Christmas we also talk about the biggest and most important roast dinner of them all - the Christmas Day Feast!

We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year and we will be back in 2026 with more mouth-watering episodes.
