As the temperature drops, bottomless brunches fall to the wayside – who wants to be digging into poached eggs and mimosas as the sun sets at 4pm?
Fear not though, boozy offerings don’t stop at eggs benedict. This winter sees a whole host of restaurants offering bottomless Sunday roasts complete with fluffy potatoes, lakes of gravy and, most importantly, free-flowing fizz.
Not for the faint-of-heart, these feasts are every bit as hearty as they are hedonistic. The perfect post-brisk-walk tonic, we asked DesignMyNight to round up the best bottomless roasts to try this winter. Caution: *may contain truffle mac & cheese*.
Quaglino’s – London
The first restaurant to be publicly visited by Her Majesty The Queen back in 1956, and going on to host the cream of Hollywood’s crop, Quaglino’s has earnt itself the reputation as one of SW1’s most luxe restaurants.
With a three-course menu consisting of dishes such as Jersey Oysters and 28-day aged Hereford beef sirloin, you too can be treated like royalty for the day – add free-flowing bubbles for the ultimate decadent experience.
Lost Society – London
Battersea-based boozer Lost Society recently underwent an art-deco inspired makeover and has become something of a South West London institution when it comes to the weekend.
Hosting roof-raising DJs late into the night, Sundays are a much more chilled affair. Head here for mellow acoustic tones served up alongside bottomless bloody marys and quirky dinner options – think roast jerk chicken with all the trimmings alongside roasted halloumi, courgette and carrot slices.
South Place Chop House – London
Hidden away inside the beautiful South Place Hotel, this place could be easily overlooked. Offering top-quality joints alongside a range of brunch dishes there is also the option to add free-flowing Clarendelle Bordeaux for just £20 per head.
Boasting sleek interiors and top quality servers, neither your gravy boat or wine glass will be at risk of running empty whilst dining here.
Tanner & Co – London
Set in a former warehouse with vintage-style pommel horses for booths, a Sunday spent at Tanner & Co will have you reminiscing of school days gone by (minus the stodgy dinners).
This trendy Bermondsey spot is known for its family-style Sunday roasts, served in the centre of the table – perfect for second helpings.
With the option to add bottomless fizz, wine, bloody marys or espresso martinis, elasticated waistbands are encouraged.
Specialising in all things carnivorous, Hixter is known for its melt-in-the-mouth marbled sirloin and barn-reared roast Indian Rock chicken.
Founded by celebrated restaurateur and chef Mark Hix, this spot is located just a stone’s throw from Borough Market. Warm-up from your Sunday stroll with unlimited glasses of red wine and heaps of crispy golden potatoes.
Aster – London
Who said bottomless had to stop at beverages? Serving up a slice of hygge in the heart of Victoria, Nordic-inspired Aster is offering unlimited starters and puddings, as well as a DIY bloody mary bar every Sunday.
Their £35 feast menu includes the likes of smoked salmon, Colchester rock oysters and salt marsh lamb, finished off with as much Eton Mess, cheesecake and giant apple strudel as you can handle – the ultimate Sunday indulgence.
Martello Hall – London
Martello Hall is a stunning cocktail bar-cum-restaurant in the heart of Hackney. The team here aim to create the ideal atmosphere for sleepy Sundays with a hearty roast menu as well as bottomless booze, board games and live jazz music.

Banyan Corn Exchange – Manchester
Banyan Corn Exchange is showing the UK’s Northern Powerhouse how bottomless Sundays are done. Set in stunning surroundings, diners are treated to roast beef or chicken served with fluffy Maris Pipers, Yorkshire puddings and as much gravy as needed.
Wash down their sumptuous feast with unlimited prosecco, beer, bloody marys or Aperol spritz (before heading home for a well-earned nap).
Brasserie Abode – Manchester
Looking for a luxe veggie offering? Brasserie Adobe in Manchester’s Piccadilly is serving dishes of truffled macaroni cheese as an alternative to the traditional roast line-up.
Taking place between midday and 7pm every week, the Sunday Social features live music, stunning surroundings and two hours of unlimited prosecco.
Crafthouse – Leeds
A room with a view; Crafthouse boasts stunning panoramic vistas of Leed’s stunning skyline. Reflecting the city’s industrial heritage, the interior palette is made up of oak, marble leather and black ceramics.
