The national winner will be decided once an expert team of mystery diners has visited each of the pubs to decide which of their roasts really cuts the mustard and deserves to win the title of Best British Roast Dinner 2016.
Chris Brown, channel trade marketing manager at Unilever Food Solutions, said: “The standard of entries this year has been phenomenal, so our regional winners can be extremely proud. Hopefully they’ve all got some extra tables around too – previous competition winners have seen huge spikes in their bookings following their success in this competition.”
The finalists are:
- The Granville, Canterbury (South England)
- The Narrow Boat at Weedon, Northampton (Midlands)
- The Blue Pig, Manchester (North England)
- Bunch of Grapes, Pontypridd (Wales)
- Kyloe Restaurant, Edinburgh (Scotland)
The overall winner, which will be announced on Sunday, will win the title of Best British Roast Dinner and £10k of PR support. British Roast Dinner Week is sponsored by Colman’s and supported by Knorr.
