The three South Wales restaurants among the best in Britain for a Sunday roast

Asador 44 (Cardiff)

Asador 44 is one of three south Wales restaurants among the best in Britain for a Sunday roast and provides guests with an "atmospheric love letter to Spain".

The Good Food Guide explains: "The Spanish know all about lavish family-style Sunday lunches and this atmospheric love letter to Spain upholds the tradition in its own way.

"Pride of place goes to the incredible slow-cooked shoulder of Welsh lamb, finished on charcoal and served with deliciously salty duck-fat potatoes, flame-grilled leeks, spiced celeriac, salsa verde and lamb sauce (‘an absolute winner’).

"Alternatively, go for the mighty family-sized paella cooked over an open fire. Either way, it’s ‘a great occasion all round’."

It also comes highly recommended by visitors, boasting a 4.5 (out of 5) rating on Tripadvisor from 546 reviews.

Forage Farm Shop & Kitchen (Cowbridge)

Meanwhile, the Forage Farm Shop & Kitchen is described as "a must" if you are looking for the perfect Sunday roast and a great family day out.

The Good Food Guide continues: "This enterprising operation brings together a farm shop, restaurant, butchery and events space on Penllyn Estate.

"Sunday lunch is a showcase for joints of home-reared, organically produced meat, including topside of beef and loin of pork, supplemented by home-grown vegetables and all the traditional accompaniments.

"The atmosphere is lively, staff are super-friendly, and ‘children can play outside while dinner is cooking.’"

The Forage Farm Shop & Kitchen has also been well received by guests, recording a 4.5 rating on Tripadvisor from 295 reviews.

Heaneys (Cardiff)

Heaneys, the Good Food Guide said is "renowned for its devastatingly clever tasting menus".

But on Sunday's Tommy Heaney "thrills" with a "consistently excellent" three-course lunch.

The Good Food Guide adds: "Between creative starters and desserts, the stars are dry-aged beef with oxtail and Yorkshire pudding or BBQ Welsh lamb with confit shoulder and mint, all with duck-fat roast potatoes and top-class vegetables.

"A perfect blend of “proper fancy” and heartwarming comfort."
