The Best Sunday Roast in Hampshire – A Classic Done Right

Date Posted
Sunday, 14th December 2025

There’s something undeniably special about a Sunday roast. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a ritual, a moment of pause in the week where family and friends gather to share good food and good company. At The Wellington Arms, we take this tradition seriously, serving up a Sunday roast in Hampshire that’s as comforting as it is unforgettable.

From perfectly roasted meats to golden, crispy potatoes and rich, velvety gravy, every element of our classic British Sunday lunch is crafted with care. If you’re searching for the best pub roast near Basingstoke, let us show you how a proper Sunday should be done.

A Sunday Roast to Savour

Our menu is built on quality, seasonality, and flavour. We work with trusted local suppliers to bring you the best cuts of meat, the freshest vegetables, and ingredients that sing of the season.

Each plate features:

- Succulent roast meats – Think beautifully slow-cooked beef, pork with crispy crackling, or tender roast chicken, all cooked to perfection.

- Crisp, golden roast potatoes – Roasted in duck fat for that unbeatable crunch and fluffy centre.

- Seasonal vegetables – Vibrant, fresh, and full of flavour.

- Yorkshire puddings – Light, crisp, and freshly made (because no roast is complete without one).

- Rich homemade gravy – Poured generously, bringing everything together in glorious harmony.

And if you fancy something a little extra? Add cauliflower cheese, bursting with creamy, cheesy goodness, or perhaps a side of stuffing for the ultimate indulgence.

The Perfect Pint to Pair

A proper roast deserves a well-poured pint or a fine glass of wine. Our bar is stocked with carefully selected cask ales, full-bodied reds, and crisp whites, ensuring the perfect pairing for your meal. Whether it’s a classic British ale or a smooth Malbec, we’ve got your Sunday sorted.

Finish with Something Sweet

No Sunday lunch is truly complete without a proper pudding. From a decadent sticky toffee pudding to a silky smooth crème brûlée, our dessert menu is well worth saving room for. If you prefer a savoury finish, our cheese selection is the perfect choice—paired with chutneys and a glass of port for a little extra indulgence.

A Warm Welcome Awaits

Set in the heart of the Hampshire countryside, The Wellington Arms is more than just a pub—it’s a place to gather, to savour the moment, and to enjoy great food in good company. Whether you’re joining us for a family celebration or a relaxed afternoon by the fire, our doors are open, and a warm welcome awaits.
