What better way to experience the scenic English countryside than by lunching at a quaint old British inn that serves delicious food, made from fresh local produce. The county of Kent lies in the southeastern part of England and Maidstone is the most important town in this county. You can enjoy a scrumptious Sunday roast at a slew of gastropubs in the city of Canterbury, Ashford and Maidstone when exploring Kent. A traditional Sunday roast is essentially a meal that is served only on Sunday, thus the name. This main meal usually consists of roasted meat, which is accompanied by mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, fresh vegetables, gravy, roasted potato, and sauce. The meat can be turkey, beef, lamb, or pork. Often roasted parsnips, carrots, and cauliflower and cheese accompany this hearty and popular British meal.
