The best thing about Sundays are, without doubt, the scrumptious roasts.
From the crispy roast potatoes to the rich gravy to the assortment of meat and vegetables, there is no superior meal to round off the week.
So we put the question to our readers: where is the best place for a carvery in Northamptonshire? I’ll be honest, I did not think it would cause as much controversy as it did in the comments section but, alas, it goes to show how passionately we all feel about our Sunday roasts.
Here are the venues that came highly recommended:

180 Ecton Lane, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BB. The next highly recommended place for a carvery was Overstone Manor, which has 4.5 stars out of five on Trip Advisor. One review said: "The carvery is dearer weekends but was still good value. We only had small but was plenty. The meats were tender and plenty of them. There was only carvery available that day due to issues but was fine for us. The potatoes were lovely, Yorkshire and plenty of veg. It was lovely and great, we will be back." Photo: Greene King

4. The Griffin
25 High Street, Pitsford, Northampton, NN6 9AD. The Griffin is rated 4.5 stars out of five on Trip Advisor. One reviewer said: "Nice restaurant area, which was a good size and very warm and comfortable. Food was delicious, fresh and no scrimping on portion sizes. We had the Sunday dinner menu, three courses for £20, which is very reasonable considering the food quality! Roast beef and all the trimmings was one of the best I’ve had. Finished off with a crumble desert which nearly finished me off." Photo: Google
