And the city is filled with plenty of places slinging out roast dinners (possibly with a cheeky pint), from cosy watering holes to pretty pubs and high-end restaurants. Make your afternoons a little more wholesome with our roundup of the best Sunday roasts in Nottingham.

While it might usually be your go-to boozer for a pint, The Malt Cross always knows a thing or two about a cracking roast. Not only can you find roast beef, chicken supreme and pork belly (which can all come gluten-free), but also an indulgent beetroot wellington, perfect for vegetarians and vegans. The venue also boasts international bottles of beer and homemade desserts, not to mention live music events, art classes and tours.
Serving a cracking roast every Sunday, Poppy and Pint have everything you need for a wholesome afternoon. From delicious roast potatoes and vegetables to a selection of meat options to chow down on, everything is absolutely delicious - it also has a selection of national ales and soft drinks to pair.
Flaunting pot roast rump of beef, honey-glazed pork belly and veggie-friendly Wellingtons, The Botanist offers a scrumptious roast dinner in Nottingham. Thanks to its quirky environment and botanical cocktails, it makes for the ideal Sunday afternoon.
One of the best places for a Sunday lunch in Nottingham city centre, Browns Brasserie & Bar is a fab shout. While chowing down on juicy sirloin, chicken, pork belly or a root vegetable and mushroom Wellington (accompanied by roast potatoes and perfect-looking Yorkshire puddings), you can pair your meal with a freshly pulled pint or glass of vino.
Showcasing some of the comfiest sofas and traditional decor, The Cross Keys screams 'cosy and quaint'. Get your mitts around topside of beef, roast pork belly, chicken breast or an oven-roasted nut roast, all paired with garlic and rosemary roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables (think carrots, honey parsnips, buttered leeks and cabbage), topped off by a fluffy Yorkshire pudding and oodles of gravy.
A venue known for its superb outdoor seating overlooking the River Trent, Brewhouse & Kitchen also fronts some of the best Sunday roasts in Nottinghamshire. Along with delish sides, you can choose from beer can chicken, beef, pork loin or a vegetarian option.
Housed in a former canal museum, Canalhouse has your evening set with daily changing specials. Sit outside in its bustling beer garden and tuck into a Sunday roast fit for a king while choosing from a range of beer, wine and cider.
After country pubs for a Sunday lunch in Nottinghamshire? The Larwood & Voce offers a lip-smacking one, complete with a scenic garden and the scrumptious scran to match. Some highlights? Roast pork loin, beef rump, chicken or a sweet potato, mushroom and squash wellington, served alongside roast potatoes, gravy, vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. Make sure to try the sticky toffee pudding for dessert too.
