British Roast Dinner Week is to return to pubs and restaurants around the country later this year. The national promotional event, which runs from 29^th September to 5^th October, encourages pubs and restaurants to put roasts on the menu more often.

And in the build-up to the week-long celebration, the search is under way for Britain’s best roast dinner.

Last year’s winning establishment, Edinburgh steakhouse Kyloe, experienced a three-fold increase in roast dinner volumes after claiming the title.

The Best British Roast Dinner competition is open to all UK operators. To enter, outlets must offer a roast dinner on their menus and answer four simple questions about what makes their roast special.As well being recognised for serving Britain’s best roast, the winning establishment will scoop a host of prizes, including up to £10,000 worth of PR for their business, a day with a pub consultant, and a supply of KNORR Gravy, and Colman’s English Mustard. The closing date for entries is 22nd August, with the regional finalists announced at the end of British Roast Dinner Week.
