Tom Casson, the account’s chief eating officer, said: "There's something romantic about a Sunday Roast. It's an event. Whether it’s an opportunity to see old friends or a family celebration of some kind. You don't want to be let down. As an adult, it almost feels like you are going out, out on a Sunday.

"You want a stand out dish on the specials board, a lamb or a porchetta and a creative main option for our veggie or vegans friends. Personally I want the Yorkshire puddings big enough to act as a vessel for the gravy. Potatoes need to be in that sweet venn diagram spot of fluffy and crispy."
