A Sunday roast consists of a joint of roasted meat - [[beef]], lamb, [[pork]]; or a roast [[chicken]] or [[turkey]] - served with 'the trimmings': roast or boiled [[potato]]es, peas, carrots, green vegetables (cabbage is a popular choice, or sprouts in winter) and [[gravy]]. Specific accompaniments are served according to the type of meat chosen: [[horseradish sauce]] and [[Yorkshire Pudding]] with beef; mint sauce with lamb; apple sauce and stuffing with pork (which should also be accompanied by ''crackling'' - crispy baked [[pork rind]]); stuffing and cranberry sauce with chicken and turkey.

Sunday roasts are a welcome opportunity for families to get together, and are also popular at other celebratory occasions (not necessarily on a Sunday). Medieval themed restaurants often put on a spit roast - a joint of meat cooked by slow rotation on a spit over an open fire.
