What you want to do is make a complete balls of it so that you don't have to do it again.

Keep it simple!

Roast Beef, roast spuds, Yorkshire puddings, veg and the top class gravy. Gravy is the key to a real, proper roast dinner over a pretend roast dinner.

My old granny used to say: KISS A TIT
She honestly did...

Keep It Simple Stupid And Think It Through!

If you need a receipe for real gravy let me know. I do a 3rd generation gravy genuinely passed down over a hot stove.

Good luck.

I'd say the traditional Sunday dinner is roast beef, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings (home made if possible, Aunt Bessie's if not), assorted veg and proper gravy, maybe some horseradish sauce too. The veg is really down to personal preference, I love carrots, particularly roasted, and broccoli, but other common ones include cabbage (maybe cooked with some bacon bits) and cauliflower. Plenty of choices though.

Get the meat from a good butchers.

Asparagus is a good choice for veg...it's seasonal right now and looks good on plate. Gravy must be thick. Roasts and yorkshires a must.

It's ruined mate. You'd best postpone it. Deary me...
