End on a high
Easter wouldn’t be complete without something special to finish. Whether it’s a cheeky dram from our whisky collection for the authentic Scottish experience, or a delicious dessert at one of our food-serving pubs, this is the kind of indulgence Easter was made for.
What's on the menu?
Fancy a break from tradition for Easter Sunday 2024? Spring is all about trying new things, and we've got just the ticket. Our NEW menu is live and direct from 21st March, and we can't wait for you to try it. If you fancy something to keep you going over the long weekend, our new small plates definitely deserve a look-in – we're talking Harissa Houmous & Flatbread, Jerk Chicken Bao Buns and Crispy Smashed Potatoes.
Of course, if you visit us on Easter Sunday, we'll still be serving up a classic Sunday roast, just the way you like it. Take your pick of 28-day Aged Sirloin of Beef, Roasted Half Chicken, and our veggie option: a wholesome Nut Roast Wellington – with all the trimmings, naturally.
What do people eat over Easter?
While lamb is often considered a traditional favourite, Easter Sunday lunch is different for everyone. Some prefer beef or turkey, while others go for a mix of everything. But one thing’s for sure if you ask us: it’s all about the trimmings. Fluffy Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and plenty of gravy are the things that make a roast dinner so good. And for those with a sweet tooth? Hot cross buns, chocolate eggs, and classic puddings round off the day in style.
