Fifth Place for Fifi’s Pizzeria in Serving Britain’s Best Roasts
In a surprising twist on the classic British Sunday roast, an Italian pizzeria in Maidstone, Kent, has secured the fifth spot in a nationwide survey for serving up one of ‘England’s best Sunday roasts’. Fifi’s Pizzeria, known for its traditional Italian fare, has managed to delight diners with its take on the quintessentially British meal.
The study, conducted by Britain’s biggest bingo site tombola, set out to uncover the top five eateries serving the perfect roast beef in the country. Starting with Tripadvisor’s highest-rated results for ‘best roast beef’ main meals in each English county, the contenders were judged based on key criteria like popularity, cost, and variety.
Fifi’s Pizzeria managed to impress with a score of 66, boasting one of the survey’s highest TripAdvisor ratings. Despite finishing fifth, the pizzeria garnered over 2,000 delighted customers who gave their roast a flawless 5/5 score.
The survey revealed that while most roast dinner spots cater to vegetarians with options like nut roasts or mushroom wellington, nearly a quarter didn’t offer a vegetarian roast option. However, one thing that nearly every roast dinner had in common was the inclusion of Yorkshire pudding, with a whopping 95% of restaurants serving this crispy, golden favourite as a standard part of their roast dinners.
When it comes to the average price of a roast dinner in England, diners can expect to pay around £19.08 per person. However, for those looking for the most bang for their buck, The Woodmans Arms in Wootton, Isle of Wight, offers a hearty roast beef dinner for just £10 a head.
On the other end of the scale, Bread Street Kitchen in London delivers the nation’s priciest roast at £33.50 per person. Despite the higher price tag, the restaurant falls slightly short in reviews compared to The Woodmans Arms, proving that paying more doesn’t always guarantee a better dining experience.
