The perfect Sunday roast is the ultimate way to end the weekend, and one Cornish pub has earned a place among the UK's best.

The St Kew Inn, Bodmin, has been crowned one of the UK's best pubs for its Sunday roasts. 

This accolade, given by the Good Food Guide as part of its Best Sunday Roast search (sponsored by Koffmann's Potatoes and Tracklements), has announced that St Kew Inn is the only  Cornish pub to feature in the South West England category, beating competition from Devon, Bristol, and Wiltshire.

With thousands of nominations and a staggering 75 per cent of readers voting it Britain's favourite dish, the Sunday roast continues to hold a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of the nation.

Whether enjoyed in a cosy pub setting like the St Kew Inn or a more elegant dining room, it remains a symbol of tradition and cherished family gatherings.

St Kew Inn's achievement is even more impressive considering its already impressive track record. This award-winning pub boasts a collection of accolades including:

St Kew Inn's popularity extends far beyond its impressive award collection. Even celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is among its fans, and TripAdvisor reviews consistently praise its exceptional Sunday roasts. Rave reviews include:

"One of the best Sunday lunches we've had in a long time! Excellent value, with interesting and delicious starters, mains (like the monkfish and beet salad, sirloin, and pork belly), and desserts. Plentiful vegetables and a lovely Yorkshire pudding completed the meal."

"Exceptional Sunday roast! Friendly staff happily accommodated us and our dog, even without a reservation during peak service. The house wine and local ale were perfect additions to a highly recommended experience."

"Wow doesn't even cover it! The apple-smoked rump was melt-in-your-mouth tender, served with an incredible array of vegetables. This is one of the best Sunday roasts I've ever had.

"The pub itself is beautiful and clean, with amazing, friendly staff who went above and beyond. Reservations are highly recommended!"
