SUMMER is a distant memory!
The temperatures have plummeted and autumn is in the air.
Fancy a toasty roast dinner this weekend to warm up?
Yorkshire puddings filled with gravy, crispy roast potatoes and tender slices of meat that melt in the mouth – roast dinners have been a staple meal on Sundays for hundreds of years.
Whether it’s for lunch or evening meal, the traditional roast is a firm favourite.
As part of our Best of 2024 competition we asked readers and followers of the St Helens Star to nominate their favourite place to enjoy the British classic.
We shortlisted seven of the best roast dinners in St Helens and you voted for The Moss Bank as this year's worthy winner.
Here are the top seven places serving up the best Sunday roasts in town:
The Bull and Dog
The Bull and Dog, Clock Face Road, St Helens
One nomination for this place said: “It’s got to be the roast lamb dinner at The Bull and Dog.”
The roast dinners are a hit with customers – homecooked food that’s good quality and good value for money.
