Reviewers praise the Sunday roast at Yan at Broad Raine Farm, calling it a hearty, comforting centerpiece. The overall vibe is warm, rustic, and deeply satisfying.
“Cumbrian dry-aged beef brisket with horseradish butter, minted lamb shoulder slowcooked and wrapped in Palmer ham, melt-in-the-mouth pork belly with crackling, crispy rosemary roasties, cauliflower cheese, stuffing, creamy mash, greens, and gravy with Yorkshire puddings. My only complaint is having to assemble your own plate. The lamb is amazing, beef phenomenal, pork excellent. This is as close to a perfect roast as you'll get. The Yorkshire is unbelievable.”
