Craving traditional British food for a weekend lunch or dinner (that isn't brunch or high tea)? These Sunday roasts will make you feel right at home.
Dainty cucumber sarnies or the usual brunch don’t do it for you? Perhaps it’s time to pay a little attention to this British institution: the Sunday roast, consisting of slices of roast beef, roasted or mashed potato, roasted vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. We’ve scoured the island and put together a list of our favourite restaurants that do up hearty portions of this quintessential British meal.
Best Sunday roasts in Singapore for the ultimate weekend treat
1. Bread Street Kitchen
Sundays are never the same without a roast, and this restaurant wants everyone in Singapore to experience the British staple. Swing by on an empty stomach and savour your meat of choice served with the prerequisite trimmings, including fluffy Yorkshire pudding and a generous side of vegetables roasted to perfection. Pair your meal with your fave tipple and bask in the stunning waterfront view as you dig in.
Bread Street Kitchen, Sundays, 12pm-10pm; #01-81, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore 018956
2. Little Island Brewing Co.
If you find yourself in Changi, we urge you to stop by Little Island. Its Sunday roast boasts an impressive meat selection that’ll fill you up. Can’t decide on what to get? Go for the farmhouse combo platter, which lets you devour all three proteins. You can knock back a few beers after your meal or take a lovely walk to digest everything.
Little Island Brewing Co., Sundays, 12pm-10pm; #01-01/02, 6 Changi Village Road, Singapore 509907
3. Col
Here’s another restaurant throwing its hat into the Sunday roast ring. Let Col lift your weekend mood with its angus beef striploin, Kurobuta pork, or Tajima wagyu prime rib. Wash everything down with a spicy margarita or mimosa. If you’re dining in a group, we suggest getting the wood-fired flatbread and king crab crispy tacos to share before the main event.
Col, last Sunday of the month, 12pm-3.30pm; #01-05, The Working Capitol Building, 1 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089109
4. Lion Brewery Co
You may be familiar with this Club Street establishment for its craft beers, but did you know it serves a mean plate of roast too? Choose between the French chicken, New Zealand ribeye, pork belly lechon, and lamb leg for your weekend treat. Add a pint of beer to celebrate making it through the end of another brutal week. Of course, don’t forget about desserts: the Beer A Misu comes highly recommended.
Lion Brewery Co, Saturdays – Sundays and public holidays, 11.30am-3pm; 36 Club Street, Singapore 069469
5. Muddy Murphy’s
We can personally attest to this roast, having spent many a Sunday here catching up with the fam. The thick slices of hand-carved beef sirloin smothered in red wine sauce, roast potatoes, vegetables and Yorkshire pudding make Muddy Murphy’s a firm favourite. And, being an Irish pub, you won’t be short of beers and stouts to wash all that down.
Muddy Murphy’s, Sundays, 12pm-3.45pm; #01-02 to 05, Claymore Connect, 442 Orchard Road, Singapore 238879; also available for delivery
6. Level33
Sunday roast usually brings to mind rustic English-style eateries and taverns, but if you’d like to (literally) elevate your experience, book a table at the world’s highest urban microbrewery. Level33’s contemporary take on the English roast features freshly shucked oysters (oh yes!), wagyu rump, lamb rump and pork collar served with all the trimmings. Oh, and you’ll want to pair it with stellar sides like mac and cheese, fried Brussels sprouts and Yorkshire pudding. Did we mention you’ll enjoy a killer view to boot?
Level33, Saturdays – Sundays, 12pm-2.30pm; #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, 8 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018981; also available for delivery
7. Tilly’s
Previously known as Butcher Boy, the new Tilly’s continues to pull out all the stops for the ultimate Sunday roast in Singapore. Pick your meat – roast beef, pork belly or chicken – which comes beautifully plated with roast potatoes, Szechuan Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire pudding and carrot miso mash. Quench your thirst with sodas, sakes, craft beers and classic cocktails. That sounds like our kind of Sunday roast!
Tilly’s, Sundays, 12pm-4pm; 31 Keong Saik Road Singapore, Singapore 089138; also available for delivery
8. The English House, By Marco Pierre White
If there’s any reason to suit up for the weekend, this is it. You can’t expect anything less from one of England’s best chefs, Marco Pierre White. Tuck into succulent meats like roast chicken, wagyu sirloin and lamb fillet served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets; house specialities such as beer-battered wild cod and Aberdeen Black Angus wellington. Talk about an elevated Sunday roast!
The English House, By Marco Pierre White, Sundays, 11am-10pm; 28 Mohamed Sultan Road, Singapore 238972
9. Lawry’s The Prime Rib
Practically an institution, you can bet your last dollar that this doyenne of decadent roasts has a stellar offering worth dragging yourself out of bed for. Enjoy Sunday roast offerings on any day of the week! Sit down for the signature Prime Rib lunch or dinner which includes the famous spinning bowl salad, Idaho mashed potatoes, whipped cream horseradish and of course the quintessential Yorkshire pudding. Pick the 200g English cut, deftly sliced into thin carvings, for the most authentic experience.
Lawry’s The Prime Rib, daily; #04-01/31, Mandarin Gallery, 333A Orchard Road, Singapore 238897; also available for delivery
10. Flutes
Temporarily closed for relocation.
We can’t get enough of the refined ambience of this classy modern European restaurant. Now that it’s moving to the new Guoco Midtown House, Flutes will hopefully continue to offer a Sunday Roast menu featuring angus grain-fed rib eye with roast veggies, cauliflower gratin, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Sweeten your meal with a beautiful plate of mango mousse, lychee granita with passion fruit meringue, and blueberry. Keep an eye on its socials for updates.
Flutes, TBD; #01-02, Guoco Midtown House, 120 Beach Road, Singapore 189769
We’re looking forward to the weekend for a scrumptious Sunday roast in Singapore!
