Best Sunday Roast in Glasgow City Centre | The Citizen

There's a right way to do a Sunday roast, and a wrong way. The wrong way involves soggy potatoes, and a Yorkshire pudding that never quite rose to the occasion. The right way starts here, at 24 St Vincent Place, under the same roof where this city's biggest stories were once set in type.

We've never been shy about our history. This building filed the front pages for over a century. So when it came to Sunday lunch, we didn't see any reason to lower the standard. If a story's worth running, it's worth running properly. Same goes for a roast.

Why The Citizen Is Glasgow's Home of Sunday Lunch

Ask around for the best Sunday roast in Glasgow and you'll get a dozen different answers. Ours is simple: come and judge for yourself. Our Roast Scottish Beef (£25.95) is the headline act — Scottish beef, cooked properly, served with:

A Yorkshire pudding that earns its place on the plate

Duck fat roast potatoes, crisp on the outside, fluffy within

Parsnip purée and honey roast vegetables

Cauliflower cheese, because a roast without it is a roast half-written

Rich pan gravy, poured generously, no questions asked

The Sunday Roast Families Keep Coming Back To

A proper family Sunday roast needs a few things: room to relax, service that doesn't rush you, and food that satisfies everyone from the fussiest cousin to the grandparent who "doesn't make a fuss, but." We built The Citizen's Sunday offering with exactly that gathering in mind; long tables, a warm room with genuine character, and a menu that doesn't try too hard because it doesn't need to.

Whether you're planning a big weekly sit-down with the whole family or a quieter lunch for two after a walk through George Square, the setting does a lot of the work. Original A-listed features, a sense of occasion baked into the walls, and a location two minutes from George Square make it an easy choice for Sunday lunch in Glasgow city centre, no ferrying the family across town required.

Sunday Roast Near Glasgow City Centre, And Worth the Trip

We sit two minutes from George Square, four from Royal Exchange Square, and within easy reach of Buchanan Street Subway, Queen Street and Glasgow Central stations. Translation: wherever you're travelling in from, getting to your roast is the easiest part of the day. Pair your table with a pint of the city's best-kept Tennent's, or a glass of something from the bar list, and you've got a proper Sunday sorted from start to finish.

Best Sunday Roast Glasgow: What Sets Us Apart

Plenty of venues do a roast. Not many do it inside a building with genuine front-page history, where the paper that once told Glasgow's stories has given way to a table telling a different kind of story every Sunday. It's not decoration. It's not a theme bolted on for effect. It's simply where we come from, and it shapes how we do things: with care, with proper ingredients, and with a bit of pride in getting the details right.

Book Your Table

Sundays fill quickly, and rightly so. If you're searching for the best Sunday roast in Glasgow; for the family, for a catch-up with pals, or simply because the week's earned it; we'd like to set your table.
