Sunday mornings are too busy.... in fact most mornings are too busy. I love a roast, and do one if we have friends over for Sunday lunch, but I do find it takes time and I am not good at timing either. So that's why I chose the "faff" option

we have our sunday roast in the evening.

So do we, partly because we are mostly out during the day on the weekend and partly because we always have our main meal in the evening.

I cook a roast for about 35 old folk every sunday. B*ggered if I'm in the mood to do it again when I get home.

Absolutely every week without fail. With appropriate trimmings. If we don't, catastrophes befall us (I kid you not!) we have extra ones on monday bank holidays, and if we are away from home on a Sunday camping or skiing. Sacrosanct in this house. We feed anyone who's here - we seem to have a lot of visitors on Sundays!

We have roast meat and veg several times a week, because it's easy to put meat in the aga and then leave it to cook........but on a sunday we do like to find a pub for a carvery, it's a social occasion and gives a break from cooking and washing up.

Now that my curiosity is aroused, how do you all cook a roast? I usually cook beef roast and pork roast the same way.

Season and sear the meat, add potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips or chunks of winter squash. Put it all in a oven roasting pan with a small bit of water, and cover with tin foil until done. I don't favor doing it in a crock pot for some reason. It just doesn't taste the same as the oven.

For me the perfect compliment is home made bread, and dashes of Worshtershire sauce on everything.

We don't cook them very often anymore

We roast meat the HF-W 'Meat Book' way. The sizzle and resting really seems to make a difference.

It sounds like the best way to cook it is in two separate pieces

I think Rob has it right. I've always used Dee for doing beef and it's never gone wrong yet. https://www.deliaonline.com/how-to-cook/meat/how-to-roast-beef.html

Okay Delia it is! He has promised to get his fat body into a drysuit and dive for scallops for Christmas Eve (every bit as important as Christmas Day), but I cant see it.

Mmmm scallops. I was going to buy some for Christmas but couldn't quite stretch to it, so crab & squid it is.
