After learning that the official best roast dinner in the UK was literally right on my doorstep, I knew at once what I'd be doing that Sunday. The Ducie Street Warehouse, a restaurant based in one of Manchester's old warehouses, was this month declared to have the very best Sunday roast in the UK.
This was determined by the popular food blog Rate Good Roasts, which tied Ducie Street in first place with The Hawthorn in Haworth. This prestigious accolade was based on a number of all-important factors, namely: meat, vegetables, sides, venue, drinks, value, potatoes, gravy, service and, of course, Yorkshire puddings.
I've long been an advocate for a big walk followed by a cracking roast dinner as the ultimate cure for Sunday scaries, and so decided to head down and try Ducie Street's now-famous offering for myself. Spoiler: I wasn't disappointed.
