Specific accompaniments are served according to the type of meat chosen: [[horseradish sauce]] and [[Yorkshire Pudding]] with pork; 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). Political luncheons often feature the humorously-named 'rubber chicken' roast. Medieval themed restaurants often put on a spit roast - a joint of meatcooked by slow rotation on a spit over an open fire. By tradition, spit roasts are popular with professional footballers to celebrate a good victory.
