The perfect Easter roast - how to cook lamb, crispy roast potatoes and homemade mint sauce

Easter isn't all about the sweet treats. While munching on chocolate eggs and hot cross buns is all part of the fun, the main event has to be the Sunday roast.

Sitting down to eat with family and friends is a tradition for many households over the long Bank Holiday weekend - and roast lamb served with mint sauce or a red wine gravy, some crispy roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables is the perfect Easter feast.

Whether you're having a small celebration at home with your family or inviting the whole neighbourhood over for a slap-up meal, it's important to get the basics right. Timings, temperatures and, of course, those all-important ingredients are key to getting your guests' tastebuds tingling.
