The origins of the beloved savory feast of roasted meats with roasted potatoes or mash and Yorkshire pudding goes as far back as the 15th century during the reign of King Henry VII when his royal guards would be served freshly roasted beef every Sunday earning them the nickname "Beefeaters." Others say the dish originated in Yorkshire during medieval times usually served after church service every Sunday. With Fridays long associated with fish, Sundays after service celebrates the end of the meatless fast with a sumptuous roast. Families would often place a piece of meat in the oven along with vegetables before Sunday service and return home with the roast ready to serve. For centuries, the much anticipated Sunday Roast has become a part of the British and Irish tradition presented in countless variations with different roasted meats, vegetables, gravy and Yorkshire pudding or "Yorkie." 

At H Proper Coffee Roasters, one can experience their proper Sunday Roast (P 1,495) with fork-tender beef top blade perfectly roasted with a juicy pink center served with Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, crispy potato, glazed carrots and red wine gravy. It just doesn't get more British than this. Like butter, a slice and bite of the beef drapes the palate with a lingering savory richness tempered by the subtle sharpness of the red wine gravy for balanced flavors. 

The tender beef is the obvious star of the sumptuous Sunday Roast but it's the impressive supporting cast of creamed spinach, potatoes, carrots, gravy and Yorkshire pudding that completes the iconic dish all coming together in a bite in proper English tradition. It's the variety of sides that make the Sunday Roast a feast on a plate. And H Proper Coffee Roasters prepares each component of the dish to perfection with the finest and freshest ingredients. 

The Sunday Roast has been associated with family, community and abundance through the centuries and H Proper Coffee Roasters' version is an homage to an enduring culinary tradition. It's a proper Sunday Roast. 

And for dessert, the Sticky Toffee Pudding (P 295) with moist date cake served with warm toffee sauce and vanilla ice cream completes your very British feast at H Proper Coffee Roasters.
