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. 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
2. 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 tri-tip, lamb shank and BBQ pork ribs 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, Saturday – Sunday; 11.30am-3.30pm; #33-01, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 1, 8 Marina Boulevard, Singapore 018981; available for delivery
3. 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 at 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; available for delivery

Quench your thirst with sodas, sakes, craft beers and classic cocktails. Sounds like our kind of Sunday roast!
Butcher Boy, Sundays; 12pm-4pm, 31 Keong Saik Road Singapore, Singapore 089138; available for delivery
5. Flutes
Firstly, we cannot get enough of the refined ambience of this classy modern European restaurant. Located in the National Museum of Singapore, Flutes offers 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 and passionfruit meringue and blueberry.

6. The English House
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 lamb filled, Angus ribeye, pork belly and crackling 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, Sundays, 11am-10pm, 28 Mohamed Sultan Road, Singapore 238972
7. Moonbow
Fancy your roast with a side of Asian influence? Try this ultimate combo at Moonbow, which serves weekend brunch and roast. Forks out for roast meats like BBQ Iberico prime ribs and Sanchoku wagyu striploin with foie gras jus. Not a fan of red meat? The roast menu extends to barramundi, salmon and chicken fillet, too.
Moonbow, Saturdays and Sundays, 11am -3pm, #01-21, Block 10 Dempsey Road, Singapore 247700
8. Rabbit Carrot Gun
Rabbit Carrot Gun has quite the reputation for fine British fare and we can see why. The menu may be scant but it will definitely fill you up nicely. Think roast pork with crackling (complete with potatoes roasted with duck fat, braised red cabbage and Yorkshire pudding), and of course, classic English roast beef. The dishes are so popular that it’s recommended to pre-order your meal to avoid disappointment.
Rabbit Carrot Gun, Sundays, 12pm-5pm, multiple locations including East Coast Road and Marina One
We’re definitely looking forward to the weekend for a scrumptious Sunday roast in Singapore.
