We're always being told that families no longer spend time together, especially when it comes to mealtimes, according to the latest research from MeatMatters.com, the traditional Sunday roast does bring Britons together more and sees them spending longer at the dinner table than any other meal.

Taking time to enjoy a Sunday roast with family and friends is still top priority with nearly two thirds of the population dedicating an hour to a leisurely lunch. And the roast remains a national institution with more than a quarter cooking one two to three times a month and a fifth of the country doing so every Sunday without fail!

This is in contrast to week day mealtimes when, with more time constraints, just a third of evening meals are eaten together with 50% of people spending just 30 minutes at the table.

The survey also revealed how the Sunday roast remains firmly rooted in the heart of the nation. Over three quarters of people said they had happy memories of their family eating roasts together and more than a third claimed Sunday wasn't the same without a roast. Distance isn't a problem either - two thirds of those surveyed said they would travel for over an hour if a roast was on the menu.

Almost 50% said the best thing about a roast dinner was eating and enjoying it with family while the same percentage love the tradition associated with eating a 'proper meal'. What's more, when it comes to eating out on Sundays, two thirds would choose the traditional roast over any other dish.

So, come along to COUNTRY FARM MEATS where you can choose the size and type of meat you want for your Roast Dinner this Sunday from our wide selection.
