Easter is one of those occasions that deserves to be done. Good company, proper plates and an excuse to linger a little longer than usual. Join us this Easter and make a meal of it, for get-togethers that call for something a bit special (without getting fancy for fancy’s sake).

Think tempting starters, comforting mains and desserts that persuade you to make more room. It’s familiar enough to please everyone, but special enough for those long, laughter-filled meals that turn into memories.

Good food for every guest

Easter is about bringing people together, which is why we've made sure there's something to satisfy every appetite at Compleat Angler. While our traditional roasts are the stars of the show this time of year, you'll find plenty of pub favourites to choose from – from hearty, comforting pies to juicy burgers and flavour-packed vegetarian dishes that don't compromise on taste. And remember what we always say – save a bit of room for what comes next.

What do people eat over Easter?

Easter Sunday lunch is all about the flavours that bring people together. Traditionally, lamb is a popular choice, but many people choose beef, turkey, or gammon as their Easter centrepiece. The trimmings could be even more important—fluffy Yorkshires, golden, crispy roast potatoes, and seasonal veg all drenched in gravy.

Of course, the sweet side of Easter is just as important. You'll find hot cross buns making an appearance at breakfast tables across the country, best enjoyed warm with butter melting into each bite. From rich fruit cakes and traditional puddings to mountains of chocolate goodies, Easter is definitely the time to embrace your sweet tooth.
