But where is the best place to enjoy a roast dinner? While some choose to enjoy a home-cooked version, others prefer to have a professional make the meal. Tombola analysed 30,381 Tripadvisor reviews to determine the places that make the best roast dinner. They chose 40 well-rated restaurants in 20 of the UK’s most popular destinations to analyse, and looked at who received the most positive reviews regarding roast dinners.
