Manchester restaurant has ‘the best Sunday roast in the UK’
Three establishments from Greater Manchester made the list
A Manchester restaurant has come out on top in a nation-wide survey of the country’s best Sunday roasts.
The Bull & Bear, which is found inside the elusive Stock Exchange Hotel and boasts an impressive menu curated by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge, was named as having the best Sunday roast in the whole country by review site Rate Good Roasts.
Rate Good Roasts has a team of dedicated roast reviewers who taste and rate roast dinners from different venues across the whole country. Each venue is rated on the same ten criteria, which is used to work out a percentage score.

And low and behold, The Bull & Bear came out on top on their Top 10 2021 roasts, with an impressive score of 95% for the quality of its meat, potatoes, the restaurant’s service, drinks, sides, and the overall restaurant setting.
The only rating the restaurant struggled with was the value rating where it got a score of 8/10; though this might not come as a too much of a surprise considering it is priced at an eye watering £39 for two courses, or £46.50 for a full three courses, one of the priciest roasts in town.
The restaurant responded on their Instagram account following their victory, writing: “Ok we are feeling pretty proud today. We have been hailed by @rategoodroasts as the best place for a Sunday roast in the UK. Yes team!”
The Bull & Bear are currently offering a selection of three roasts on their Sunday menu – a dry aged Hereford sirloin of beef with carrots, buttered hispi and roast potatoes, a roasted Norfolk brown turkey with sage and chestnut stuffing, pigs in blanket and seasonal vegetables, or a Salt-aged pork belly with caramelised apple puree and celeriac.

For vegetarians, there is the option of a Confit Autumn mushroom tart with braised artichoke, orange, horseradish and winter truffle.
Two other venues from Greater Manchester made the Rate Good Roasts list; The Bank in Delph coming in at sixth place and the Edinburgh Castle in Ancoats landing in joint seventh.
The North of England itself also fared well in the round up, with The Wheatsheaf Inn in Brigsteer, Cumbria coming in at third place for its roast efforts and Crosby’s Mustard and Co in fourth.
