The Sunday Feast

Open every Sunday, with our set Sunday Feast Menu served from 12pm–4pm.

The Roots Sunday Feast is our celebration of the great British Sunday lunch, reimagined through the seasonal cooking that defines Roots York. Inspired by the changing harvests of Yorkshire and the produce from our Tommy Banks’ family farm in Oldstead, each feast showcases the finest ingredients at their peak, transformed into a generous sharing experience designed to be enjoyed around the table.

Served every Sunday, the menu brings together beautifully roasted meats, exceptional seasonal vegetables and carefully crafted accompaniments, all prepared with the thoughtful, ingredient-led approach synonymous with Tommy Banks and the team at Roots. Whether you’re searching for the finest Sunday lunch in York, an elevated Sunday roast or a memorable dining experience in one of York’s leading Michelin-starred restaurants, our Sunday Feast offers a
relaxed yet refined way to end the week.

October & November | £75pp

As autumn arrives, our Sunday Feast turns to the rich, comforting flavours of the season, celebrating the very best of Yorkshire produce with a menu designed for long, leisurely Sundays. Expect warming dishes such as Potato Velouté with Smoked Haddock and Aged Killeen, Steak Tartare with Horseradish Cream and Senshyu Onion, and Oldstead Charcuterie with sourdough and wild garlic honey butter.

At the heart of the feast, Salt-Aged Roasted Pork Loin is served with Bramley Apple Butter, alongside Sunday favourites including Pork Dripping Roast Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, Cauliflower Cheese with Rollright & Mustard and Herb-Infused Pork Gravy. Seasonal vegetables include roasted hispi cabbage with lovage and preserved wild garlic, and damson-glazed Pablo beetroots with nasturtium and hazelnut. To finish, Comice Pear with Dark Chocolate and Woodruff Caramel offers an elegant autumnal finale.

This November and December, gather around the table at Roots for Feastivities: our celebration of the festive season, shaped by Yorkshire produce and the preserving techniques of Oldstead.

Designed for the kind of long lunches and dinners that define this time of year, our Feastivities Menu brings a distinctly Roots approach to Christmas dining. Begin with a choice of seasonal starters, from Potato Velouté with Smoked Haddock and Aged Killeen to Chicken Liver Parfait with Fermented Cherry and Sloe Gin Jelly, alongside Wild Garlic Honey Brioche and cultured butter for the table.

At the heart of the feast is Roasted Salt-Aged Sirloin of Beef, accompanied by all the trimmings including Yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets with preserved wild garlic, beef dripping roast potatoes, truffled Tunworth cauliflower cheese, spruce honey roasted roots, spiced red cabbage and bone marrow gravy. For something even more indulgent, add our Beer-Braised Ox Cheek Yorkshire Pudding.

Finish with Sticky Parsnip Pudding, Woodruff Butterscotch and Clotted Cream Ice Cream – a suitably celebratory end to a festive gathering at Roots.
