There’s something special about Sundays. A slower pace, time well spent with family and friends, and of course, the centrepiece of it all – the Sunday roast. It’s more than just a meal; it’s a ritual, a moment to savour, and a celebration of the best of British produce.
Here at The Exchequer, nestled in the heart of Crookham Village near Fleet, we take our Sunday roast seriously. In fact, we’d go so far as to say it’s the best Sunday roast in Hampshire – but we’ll let you be the judge of that.
Why is the Sunday Roast So Special?
The Sunday roast is a tradition dating back centuries, originally a feast enjoyed after church, when families would gather around the table for a hearty meal. At its heart, it’s a simple but satisfying combination – succulent roast meat, crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding (or two), and, of course, lashings of rich, velvety gravy.
But a great roast is more than just the sum of its parts. It’s about quality ingredients, careful preparation, and that sense of warmth and togetherness that makes Sundays feel special.
Sunday Lunch at The Exchequer: A Hampshire Favourite
At The Exchequer, we’ve perfected the art of the Sunday roast, combining tradition with a touch of modern flair. Our focus? Locally sourced, top-quality ingredients that bring out the best in every dish.
We proudly work with Hampshire’s finest farmers and producers, ensuring that every bite is bursting with flavour. Whether it’s our dry-aged British beef, rosemary-roasted lamb, succulent Norfolk chicken, or the melt-in-your-mouth honey-roast pork belly, each cut is cooked with care to deliver a roast dinner that’s second to none.
And for those who prefer a meat-free option, our wild mushroom and lentil Wellington is every bit as satisfying, packed with earthy, umami-rich flavours that make it a true standout.
The Perfect Accompaniments
No Sunday roast is complete without its supporting cast. At The Exchequer, that means:
- Crisp, golden roast potatoes – fluffy on the inside, perfectly crunchy on the outside.
- Seasonal vegetables – bringing colour and freshness to the plate.
- Yorkshire puddings – light, airy, and just the right amount of crisp.
- Signature rich gravy – lovingly made from the pan juices for unbeatable depth of flavour.
Pair it all with a glass of full-bodied red wine or a perfectly pulled cask ale, and you’ve got a Sunday lunch to remember.
Save Room for Dessert
A great meal deserves a sweet finish. Our desserts menu with sticky toffee pudding, served with vanilla gelato and a touch of miso caramel, is an indulgent favourite. Or, for something a little more traditional, our apple & gooseberry crumble with smooth custard is the perfect balance of tart and sweet.
