The last thing anyone wants to do on a Sunday? Cook.
So we're taking care of it with a weekly Sunday roast, all cooked in our legendary smoker and served with gravy, roast veg, and whatever excuse you need for a second glass of red.
This lamb shank didn't stand a chance.
Who's coming with you this Sunday?
