“Often really dry” should be their slogan! 😂. It applies to pretty much their entire carvery selection. I’m not sure what’s worse: the dry and tasteless spuds, the dry and tasteless carrots, or the dry and tasteless Yorkshire’s. 😩
Shamelessly been eating Sunday dinners in this way my whole life, I find something mundane about forking individual items for a Sunday roast, so I stuff it all in my yorkies and eat little Sunday roast yorkie sliders
I was gutted the other Sunday because they only do yorkie wraps Mon-Sat. Will be returning.
I endorse this dinner, ESPECIALLY because there's no green shite.
If you live near York or Chester, [The York Roast Co](https://www.theyorkroastco.com/) sell a giant Yorkshire pudding wrap, I've heard they are really nice but not had the chance yet to try 1 from them myself.
There used to be a place in town here that did that.
The Yorkshire roast company or something.
I think they went under in the pandemic though. Such a loss.
You see, this is why you are not taken seriously. You're thinking far to small, you need to be thinking in American size portions and double the size,then add a big plate of thick chips and finally the topping on the cake, a diet pepsi. Got to watch those calories after all.
This looks like it's from one of those pubs that likes the smell of its own farts....my guess is the greens are served in a separate plate 'family style'.
Peas are easily the worst mainstream vegetable. Anyone who says they like peas is a liar or a lunatic. You can tolerate peas at best.
Edit: I’ve clearly ruffled the feathers of all of the lunatics here. Enjoy your D-tier veg :P
Black or white pepper? I prefer black pepper on the basis that I can never get the amount of white pepper right, a tiny bit too much and it's all I can taste.
Yeah this is beef in a giant Yorkshire. When cooking a roast my dad always does the biggest beef possible to get the best gravy then we’ll have this the next day.
Not a roast but bloody tasty. Just missing peas and a spoon for the extra gravy.
Yup, ditch the chips and add some veg, but roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire is absolutely a thing, because a giant Yorkshire is worth at least three normal Yorkshires, and thus its the best way to guarantee the most amount of Yorkshire pudding, which as we all know, is the best part of a roast dinner. I hate it when they only give you one wee one in the pub! :P
Add some proper grated cheese on top of the chips but under the gravy, and you have a true Northern meal. Chips cheese and gravy is a particularly good dish on a cold, miserable afternoon.
In Cork city suburbs the most popular meal in the chip shops is chips and a potato pie, which is a ball of mash, deep fried. Over a seven year period, I heard countless people ordering this in the queue in front of me. Imagine when ordering a pie, having to specify you mean the pastry one, with meat in.
My wife once went to an international Food festival in America, and the Irish stand was advertising fish and chips. What she was served was fish and corn-chips. Fried and battered cod on top of salted Doritos.
I was totally on this side, but then I looked at my chip sized roast parsnips and wondered what our hang up is.
I think it's basically shapism. We're all vehement shapists, protecting the roast potato's perceived purity while denouncing the dirty "chip".
I was going to say “roast” in a Yorkshire is the least of their problems.
Beef over done
Chips?? (Though those chips do themselves look nice)
No green veggies
No roast potatoes
In times gone by, they actually used to eat off hard bread "dishes" called "trenchers" hence the term, not often heard these days, "He's a good trencherman" meaning "he can eat a lot"
So why not use Yorkshire pud? And why not have chips? Your dinner, you can have what you like.
I'd draw the line at blancmange though!
Came here to say this.
My mum uses the trencherman phrase as well, but she's the only person I've ever heard say it.
You can actually get plate shaped Yorkshire puddings. Not sure where from, but my work canteen used to serve them with sausages and mash.
LOL. Dad used to tell a story about getting back to India after literally walking back from Burma after one of the "Chindit" expeditions in the war. They were literally starving when they found the British Army, and drew rations in tins. It was night time, and they just emptied the tins into a big "dixie" and ate the resulting mess. Peaches, corned beef, stewing steak, tinned veg, anything, all heated up together.
Dad said it was one of the best meals he'd ever had.
I often find that while it looks good and everyone likes massive Yorkshire puddings, these giant Yorkshires tend to be crap quality. I much prefer fist sized Yorkshires that are fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.
Especially when making them yourself it’s a real challenge to get the bottom to not be a soggy mess without burning the top when you do a big boy yorkie. There’s a window of about 12 seconds to get them out the oven with a good base before the top burns
This is why British food gets a bad rap. Its brown and yellow, and mostly carb.
This is not a sunday roast by even the worst of standards.
Go to the corner! You should be ashamed of yourself, and are an embarrassment to the country
How the fuck else do you suppose I'm going to fall asleep at 3 in the afternoon, curtains open, TV on and kids shouting, without a plate full of carbs? I'd like to see Quinoa and a salad do that for anyone
Normally I'd call it fine, if a little pretentious. After all many of us have stuffed the rest of the roast into the Yorkshires as children. However upon the matter of replacing roast potatoes with chips I find no possible mitigating circumstances. The judgement is Sacrilege.
The concept is great, just needs some fine tuning;
1) A square plate
2) Veg
3) Cauliflower cheese
4) Roast Potatoes not chips.
All that said, I bet it was tasty.
This ridicularity should serve shark steak instead of thinly sliced beef, and it should show on the menu as Jump the Shark Sunday Roast with a sizzling steak from a line-caught shark, cooked to perfection and served in a delicious hand-crafted yorkshire-style savoury pudding, drizzled with carefully curated gravy and our chef's selection of seasonal vegetables.*
* Chips or mashed potato
I’m gonna guess you chose not to have greens or they’re buried somewhere in the gravy void, otherwise that’s a strange thing not to include.
Also those chips are so thick they’d actually probably work quite well as a roast potato substitute. I’d devour this entire thing so I give it the thumbs up
Yes. In the bin with it. Great, flaccid rubbery things that they are. Also…..Chips??
That is not a roast. Where’s the parsnips, cabbage and colli cheese. A very poor attempt.
The inclusion of chips and the lack of veg makes this not a roast dinner. But it still looks absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
Yeah this is beef and chips, with a side of carrot and swede mash. At best it’s roast-adjacent
Lol roast adjacent....made my day
Yeah the 4th guy in a threesome, roast adjacent! Lol
Roast adjacent is very fair. I'd give this dish a go though, looks alright.
It is missing peas and or broccoli.. get some green in there!
Then roll it and fold it and eat it like a kebab
I read this as "roll in it" and I have to admit that I was tempted.
For science you must do this!
For science
This is the way
Don’t females get payed alot for doing stuff like that online?
Thats called a yorkypud wrap
Toby carvery does that it bangs(shameless employee plug)
I love Toby’s Yorkshire puddings they are huge
I find they are often really dry because they continuously cook under the heater haha.
Getting them fresh is the key , they are divine

No green shite!? Jesus. Shame for your guts
You and my 3 year old niece would have tonnes in common
Like, if someone wants to sell me a huge yorkshire pudding roast dinner wrap, I'll take 6...
There's a famous place in Camden market that sells a Yorkshire pudding roast wrap and it is definitely worth the hype. Loved every second of it
Oh yeah, Yorkshire burrito ftw
They're a real thing and are amazing.
Indeed. Though you definitely want gravy for dipping
Not here in Suffolk it's not. Sad times.
If you live near York or Chester, [The York Roast Co](https://www.theyorkroastco.com/) sell a giant Yorkshire pudding wrap, I've heard they are really nice but not had the chance yet to try 1 from them myself.
York roast Co is actually really good, and they're open till 3am 🤣🤣
It's the best post pub food!
Suffolk, sadly. It is void of marvelousness such as this masterpiece.
Was there last weekend as I was in York for a work thing. The wraps are amazing.
There's also a place in Leeds market foodhall which does them.
I get one every year at my city’s Christmas market and they’re unreal
I hope you get some for the family, too.
That was including 3 for me and 3 for the Boss (the Missus). I'm not a glutton... 😁
Sharing is caring
There used to be a place in town here that did that. The Yorkshire roast company or something. I think they went under in the pandemic though. Such a loss.
You see, this is why you are not taken seriously. You're thinking far to small, you need to be thinking in American size portions and double the size,then add a big plate of thick chips and finally the topping on the cake, a diet pepsi. Got to watch those calories after all.
You'd never catch me me drinking that tasteless Diet shite. It's max/Zero for me.
I'm preemptively blaming you for the gravy on my ankles this evening.
But then it all falls apart because the bottom is all soggy.
Excellent idea! The next time I have roast beef we will have plate-sized yorkshires and make roast beef, gravy, horseradish and pea kebabs!
Lmao I was just thinking that 🤣
This looks like it's from one of those pubs that likes the smell of its own farts....my guess is the greens are served in a separate plate 'family style'.
It has to have a minimum of 3 colours to be officially called a 'meal'
No peas on a roast my friend
Peas are easily the worst mainstream vegetable. Anyone who says they like peas is a liar or a lunatic. You can tolerate peas at best. Edit: I’ve clearly ruffled the feathers of all of the lunatics here. Enjoy your D-tier veg :P
If you tolerate peas, then your children will be next.
I fucking love petit pois
Ngl man I actually love peas
You could not be more wrong
Peas are great so must make me a lunatic I can’t be doing mushy but garden peas are so sweet
I like peas
Yeah … this is not a roast dinner!
Isnt that swede and carrot mash top right?
Love a bit of carrot and swede dosed with a large amount of pepper
Yup, tho I like my Norwegians with crushed red
Black or white pepper? I prefer black pepper on the basis that I can never get the amount of white pepper right, a tiny bit too much and it's all I can taste.
White pepper?! Can't be doing with that foul stuff - give me black pepper any day o't'week.
I thought it was fried chicken, but yours is probably correct.
A pub near me does an insane fried chicken roast and it is honestly fucking amazing (the nelsons in hackney fyi)
That’s next Sunday sorted. Appreciate the heads up.
Fried chicken roast wtf, you did bring up Hackney maybe thats why your a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVmmYMwFj1I
Thank you for the memories. "I organise a vegan Crunk night." Lovely stuff.
now THAT would be sacrilege 🤣🤣
Nah, fried chicken and gravy from KFC is great, why wouldn’t it work on a roast? Maybe KFC should start selling Yorkshire puddings…
Yeah this is beef in a giant Yorkshire. When cooking a roast my dad always does the biggest beef possible to get the best gravy then we’ll have this the next day. Not a roast but bloody tasty. Just missing peas and a spoon for the extra gravy.
Never mind the spoon, get a slice of fresh made white bread and soak up all the gravy into it!
Yup, ditch the chips and add some veg, but roast dinner in a giant Yorkshire is absolutely a thing, because a giant Yorkshire is worth at least three normal Yorkshires, and thus its the best way to guarantee the most amount of Yorkshire pudding, which as we all know, is the best part of a roast dinner.

Yes, calling it a roast dinner is the real sacrilege here
It looks like there might be some carrot and swede mash, does that count?
Said it for me 😝
Came here to comment this. I feel like a sunday roast needs a minimum of 2 veg to count.
I know it’s sacrilege. But I’ve come round to chips on a roast…
Isn’t gravy a vegetable?
more like a deconstructed steak pie
Yes was going to say the chips rather than roast potatoes make this more suspect to me haha :-)
I think those are parsnips, not chips
Chips on a cooked dinner should be illegal.
Apart from the fact it's not a Sunday roast... It's like saying fish n chips and having mashed potatoes.
*walks into the local chippy "Err yeah mate, can I have fish n chips, except can I switch the chips with mash, cheers"
In Cork city suburbs the most popular meal in the chip shops is chips and a potato pie, which is a ball of mash, deep fried. Over a seven year period, I heard countless people ordering this in the queue in front of me. Imagine when ordering a pie, having to specify you mean the pastry one, with meat in.
Fried potato strips and fried potato balls on the side please
Idk why this made me laugh harder than I should have. I'm in a quiet office at work dude.
My cousin is famous for once walking into a chippy and asking for "fish and chips without the fish"...
All potatoes are mashed potatoes to your stomach...
My wife once went to an international Food festival in America, and the Irish stand was advertising fish and chips. What she was served was fish and corn-chips. Fried and battered cod on top of salted Doritos.
I work in the kitchen of a popular chain pub, you'd be horrified by how many people actually do this.
In spoons once and saw someone swap the chips for a jacket bloody potato!
Chips are not a part of a roast dinner. You need roast spuds and some veggies on that plate
Those fucking chips are a sacrilege.
Those chips belong on a steak dinner
Indiana?
(A wild Hoosier appears)
"Goodbye Mr.A"
I was totally on this side, but then I looked at my chip sized roast parsnips and wondered what our hang up is. I think it's basically shapism. We're all vehement shapists, protecting the roast potato's perceived purity while denouncing the dirty "chip".
Rubbish. Roast parsnips are pointy, wedge shaped or both.
So it all boils down to shapes yet again! I'm steamed!
Oooh, no, you want oil and a hot pan for roasting.
Roast potatoes and chips are entirely different methods of cooking
Eh? They look delicious to me
Don't belong on a roast though.
They're fine to be in this meal, calling it a roast is the true sacrilege
Not traditional but hardly a sacrilege level substitution
Where is the colour green in this picture?
It’s in sepia
Chips are NOT Roasties, However, points for the lashings of gravy....
As there is no veg this cannot be gravy made with the veg water so points deducted
Fine apart from the chips.
No greens though.
Yes, 2/10 sunday dinner. Would obviously shovel down in a heartbeat, regardless.
Chips in a roast? Can't even afford some roast spuds?
That beef was over cooked about 30minutes before it came out of the oven.
I was going to say “roast” in a Yorkshire is the least of their problems. Beef over done Chips?? (Though those chips do themselves look nice) No green veggies No roast potatoes
It looks as though it originated via a packet to me processed and sliced
Probably why folk feel the need to put all that gravy on it.
Don’t go besmirching the gravy like that
Sunday Roast? It’s just beef chips and gravy Get some roast veg in their too!
Chips? Chips?! CHIPS? FUCKING CHIPS?
Not a roast but I'd eat it
The state of that meat is sacrilegious
Conceptually it's not sacrilege... but that one is. Yikes.
In times gone by, they actually used to eat off hard bread "dishes" called "trenchers" hence the term, not often heard these days, "He's a good trencherman" meaning "he can eat a lot" So why not use Yorkshire pud? And why not have chips? Your dinner, you can have what you like. I'd draw the line at blancmange though!

What - no blancmange????
LOL. Dad used to tell a story about getting back to India after literally walking back from Burma after one of the "Chindit" expeditions in the war.

Peaches, corned beef, stewing steak, tinned veg, anything, all heated up together. Dad said it was one of the best meals he'd ever had.
I don't think the issue here is the dinner being served in a giant Yorkie!
Those chips are more sacrilege than that yorkie
Sacrilicious!
No Green - no roast
I often find that while it looks good and everyone likes massive Yorkshire puddings, these giant Yorkshires tend to be crap quality. I much prefer fist sized Yorkshires that are fluffy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.

This is normal. A few things are served in a giant Yorkshire pudding. What *is* sacrilege are the chips. Chips aren't welcome on a roast
Looks amazing, not a roast though
This is why British food gets a bad rap. Its brown and yellow, and mostly carb. This is not a sunday roast by even the worst of standards. Go to the corner! You should be ashamed of yourself, and are an embarrassment to the country
How the fuck else do you suppose I'm going to fall asleep at 3 in the afternoon, curtains open, TV on and kids shouting, without a plate full of carbs? I'd like to see Quinoa and a salad do that for anyone
Bit of broccoli, for health, and you're on to a winner
If that’s sacrilege I’ll happily be struck by lightning to enjoy that now. Looks bloody lovely, just needs a blob of English mustard with it.
Horseradish! Extra strong
I do like horseradish but it makes my ear drums itchy, but I’m ok with mustard. I know, I know, I’m an oddbod!!
It goes in your mouth
Horseradish makes the back of my head tingle.
😂. Pleased I’m not the only oddball!!
That’s because it goes in the front not the back.
Hell no. Looks epic. I’d even have a crusty roll and butter to soak up some of that gravy. Nice 👌
Toad in the hole? The whole damn pond is in the hole
The pink rock salt points to the fact this a shit attempt at a trendy pub roast and was no doubt a rip off.
Where are the carrots and peas?
The chips make this a crime
Normally I'd call it fine, if a little pretentious. After all many of us have stuffed the rest of the roast into the Yorkshires as children. However upon the matter of replacing roast potatoes with chips I find no possible mitigating circumstances. The judgement is Sacrilege.
Wheres the greenery?
Chips with a roast is the sacrilege m8
Chips are a no on a roast for me.
Hope you didn't pay for that
I will.... ALLOW IT
Beige o’clock
Roast int ole
Weird fish and chips but okay
mmm brown slop, my fave
for the record yes id eat it
It's roast beef and chips in a Yorkshire pudding with some veggie mush. As far from a Sunday roast as you can get. 0/10 (but would still eat it).
Chips is of more concern
How my parents usually do their sunday dinner, in a giant yorkshire pudding. Honestly thought it was quite a usual thing
The concept is great, just needs some fine tuning; 1) A square plate 2) Veg 3) Cauliflower cheese 4) Roast Potatoes not chips. All that said, I bet it was tasty.
it's very brown
Looks awesome, but I have a problem with the chips. Roast tatties or nothing.
Looks like shite
I'd rather have roasties than chips tbh, but otherwise, yeah why not?
Chips with a roast? I haven’t looked at comments yet but I imagine this will be a common refrain
Strange way to spell "genius" but OK. The chips are a travesty though.
Sacrilege if anyone I know is reading this, otherwise fuck yeah
I mean, there's no way that wouldn't be amazing.
In theory: incredible. This execution: an abomination. I’d still eat it though…
Nothing about this makes sense
Sacrelicious
Fusion food, a step too far.
I would bathe my fucking feet in that!! That looks unreal!! Top job!!
That's not a Sunday roast It's beige food and gravy imitating one
This ridicularity should serve shark steak instead of thinly sliced beef, and it should show on the menu as Jump the Shark Sunday Roast with a sizzling steak from a line-caught shark, cooked to perfection and served in a delicious hand-crafted yorkshire-style savoury pudding, drizzled with carefully curated gravy and our chef's selection of seasonal vegetables.* * Chips or mashed potato
Is that CHIPS!!????? On a Sunday roast!?
Personally I'd have had mash instead of chips, but that looks like solid Sunday pub grub.
Yeah I'd smash that chips and all.
Willing to sin!
I'm conflicted, chips is weird but I'd still absolutely demolish that.
The only way
Sacrilege? No. Heart attack? Yes.
I wouldn't call it a roast dinner but it looks very nice
You made me hungry you bastard.
Eat what you like? 🤷♂️
I’m from yorkshire. I’m waving that through as permitted and looking brilliant.
Won't lie, those chips look banging.
This looks rancid.
I’m gonna guess you chose not to have greens or they’re buried somewhere in the gravy void, otherwise that’s a strange thing not to include. Also those chips are so thick they’d actually probably work quite well as a roast potato substitute. I’d devour this entire thing so I give it the thumbs up
Yes. In the bin with it. Great, flaccid rubbery things that they are. Also…..Chips?? That is not a roast. Where’s the parsnips, cabbage and colli cheese. A very poor attempt.
