Sometimes you just can't beat a 'proper' roast dinner, ideally on a Sunday in a gorgeous venue surrounded by friends or family. We think it's the perfect time of year to highlight our favourite roast dinner spots in the city. All our picks also offer a meat-free alternatives for any vegetarians or vegans in your group.

Staying in a Switchback Stays serviced apartment over the weekend and want to experience a Welsh Sunday Dinner served up by a unique independant restaurant? Here are a few of our top-picks to get your started (in no particular order) -

Bar 44 (Cardiff city centre & Penarth) - A Spanish twist on the traditional roast dinner - They serve a variety of fabulous Sunday Roast Platters. All for sharing with a choice of meats (plus veggie option). Our favourite has to be the 35-day aged Hereford beef. The sides are equally incredible with jamon-fat roast potatoes that will blow your socks-off! One Tripadvisor review raves "the best Sunday lunch I've ever had".

The Potted Pig (Cardiff city centre) - In an old bank vault the ambiance in this place is stunning. Cosy yet stylish it really is perfect for a Sunday afternoon vibe.  The Sunday Lunch here is great value and offers either a 2-course or 3-course option. Our team here at Switchback Stays can't agree on which is the tastiest choice (pork belly or beef brisket) but we all agree that the cauliflower cheese is epic. 

Humble Onion (Dinas Powys - just outside Cardiff) - You'd be hard-pressed to find a better Sunday lunch than the one served at The Humble Onion. It's truly outstanding. Nestled within a charming coach house this small restaurants focusses on serving up high-quality local produce. There are several fantastic options on the menu for the main course, just make sure you don't miss out on one of the delicious starters!

Staying in - If you are in the mood for a 'staying-in' Sunday afternoon every Switchback Stays apartment has a fully-equipped kitchen so you can prepare your own meals.

Some of our larger properties are ideal for hosting a family get-together. We recently had a famous chef cook an incredible meal in a Switchback Stays kitchen for a birthday celebration.

Remember to always book direct for the best deals and added benefits.
