By james art Introducing the list, the newspaper said Sunday roast dinners were once “the preserve of the home cook” but that nowadays many of us look to eating out when trying to get our fill of roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings.
With so many great options to choose from, here are the two Scottish places named among the best in the UK.
Two ‘brilliant’ Scottish places in the UK’s 20 best places for a roast dinner
Scottish restaurants named by The Telegraph among the UK’s best for a roast dinner are Kinloch Lodge on the Isle of Skye and The Spence in Edinburgh.
Kinloch Lodge was praised for its “glorious, unspoiled nature” and extensive use of “every chef’s dream” produce.
Sunday lunch here isn’t extortionately expensive with a three-course meal costing just £44. The food is said to be “epic”, with diners looking forward to a wide variety of choices including venison and truffled mushrooms.
The Spence, which is an offshoot of “Scotland’s most famous hotel” – The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterader – was equally impressive with its “glass-domed banking room”, making it the perfect venue for a Sunday banquet.
The publication said the pub was a “chic place” to catch up with friends and family and praised the options on offer to diners here.
These include rare roast Scottish sirloin (£36) and Ayrshire pork loin (£24) with Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes.
