Kantar Worldpanel recently conducted a report that revealed families are now choosing to have a midweek roast dinner rather than waiting for Sunday’s. It seems the traditional Sunday roast is becoming a thing of the past. According to the data, 8million roast dinners were enjoyed by families in the UK in the past year. Of those roast dinners, 49% were eaten on a Sunday.
AHDB are running a campaign to encourage families and young couples to enjoy midweek mini roast dinners. The mini roast makes a romantic date night meal, it’s easy to cook and it’s full of goodness to help people remain strong and healthy.
