On a Sunday I wanted a Sunday roast. At 2pm it seemed remarkably difficult to find one - maybe because there was limited outdoor seating, reservations already on a very sunny day, and lots of places were just closed.
After lots of Google searching and driving to a few spots in despair, we eventually made it to Leyburn. There was a spare table outside and they still had roast available. Score!
When I ordered, I asked if I could have a medium-rare part. The young girl looked at me a little confused - it's all just cooked well done. Hmm my expectations plummeted. Oh well, too late to leave now.
Maybe it was the low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Roast was cooked well done but the brisket was actually not dry and had some flavour. Yorkshire was very big and great crispness (which is hard to find) although low seasoning so needed the thick tasty gravy. Potato mash underneath, and bonus sides of pumpkin mash, caramelised red cabbage, and peas made it a better roast than usual.
Overall very good.
