'I’ve been here since the inception of the Sunday roast menu and I’ve been able to watch it grow from a concept into this absolute machine'
The restaurant at Ducie Street Warehouse came in joint top place on the Rate Good Roasts list, which compiles together the best Sunday roasts served across the country, alongside The Hawthorn in Haworth.
“Every roast is reviewed against ten categories that make up a special Sunday lunch,” the team at Rate Good Roasts explained. “We score each of these out of ten to work out the score and rankings. The categories are meat, vegetables, sides, venue, drinks, value, potatoes, gravy, service and, of course, Yorkshire puddings.”
Speaking to the M.E.N, Scott Munro, who became Ducie Street’s Head Chef three months ago, said the top place ranking is a much welcomed surprise for himself and the restaurant staff. “I’ve been here since the inception of the Sunday roast menu and I’ve been able to watch it grow from a concept into this absolute machine. We’re very happy to get this kind of recognition.”
It’s something Rate Good Roasts said helped make the restaurant's roast dinner’s stand out from the rest, adding: “Ducie Street has a side menu dedicated to cauliflower cheese which is pretty special and very unique. To get into the top ten, the roast needs to be memorable and Ducie Street’s roast certainly is.”
