Dads tend to love roast dinners. They just do. And with it being Father's Day this Sunday they no doubt will be hoping that food will feature highly in the celebrations.
That said, nobody really wants to be stuck in the kitchen cooking this June 19 yet not everyone will be able to afford the time to eat out - or the added expense. A home delivery tends to be a cheaper option and is just as much of a treat, as families can get together over food without having to make the effort to make themselves look presentable to the wider public.
So here is a round-up of places around Newcastle and further afield which offer Sunday lunch deliveries for those who don't want to miss out on their weekly tradition of roast beef and Yorkshire pud this Father's Day. There are plenty others of course but this is a list of the top 10 - as ranked by Google - just to whet the appetite.
