How to create the perfect Sunday lunch

Nothing beats a good Sunday lunch – a succulent roast, juicy veg, crispy roasties and Yorkshire puds, all topped off with lashings of scrumptious gravy.

Not only is this the best of British food, but it’s also one of the greatest institutions of British family life, providing the perfect excuse for lunch lovers across the country to get together.

Sometimes though, finding time for a Sunday lunch can be tough. Whether it’s because everyone’s busy, the rest of the week has left you feeling stressed or you’re conscious of the pinch on your purse strings, the lunchtime tradition can be left by the wayside.

If it has been a while since you last had friends, family or neighbours over on a Sunday, now is the time to re-embrace our favourite part of the week! Age Concern and Help the Aged kindly supported by Aunt Bessie’s are calling on people across the nation to get together with loved ones on Sunday 18th October, and host a fun-filled Great Sunday Lunch to raise vital funds for older people for whom Sunday can be a lonely and difficult time.

In our live and interactive Web TV show, celebrity chef and Mum Lesley Waters will give her top tips on how you can take the pressure off when holding your Great Sunday lunch, whether that’s by sending the children off to draw up place-cards and menus, or utilising the grandparents to assist with after-dinner entertaining.

To learn more about the The Great Sunday Lunch, and where you can download a Helping Hand booklet full of recipes and ideas for pre and post-dinner activities, make sure you log on to the live Web TV show and submit your questions now.
