SUMMER is a distant memory!
The temperatures have plummeted and autumn is in the air.
Fancy a toasty roast dinner this weekend to warm up?
Yorkshire puddings filled with gravy, crispy roast potatoes and tender slices of meat that melt in the mouth – roast dinners have been a staple meal on Sundays for hundreds of years.
Whether it’s for lunch or evening meal, the traditional roast is a firm favourite.
As part of our Best of 2024 competition we asked readers and followers of the Warrington Guardian to nominate their favourite place to enjoy the British classic.
We shortlisted 12 of the best roast dinners in Warrington and you voted for The Blue Bell as this year's worthy winner.
Here are the top 12 places serving up the best Sunday roasts in town:
