Renowned for the quality and freshness of its food offering,
Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, the UK's largest privately owned
hotel group is championing the return of that timeless classic -
the Great British Sunday lunch!
A British culinary institution, it was once the highlight of the
week bringing families together over the dinner table. Yet figures
reveal that over the past 50 years the number of those enjoying a
traditional Sunday Lunch has halved*.
So today (insert date) Macdonald Hotels & Resorts has
launched theGreat British Sunday Lunch Campaignto resurrect the
appeal of the delicious traditional Sunday lunch with all the
trimmings.
And to kick off the campaign in style, the leading hotel group,
with an impressive 45 AA Rosettes held by its restaurants across
the group, is offering a new traditional Sunday Lunch menu from
just £15 per person for two courses, including a glass of wine or
soft drink.
From Macdonald Inchyra Hotel & Spa in the heart of Scotland
to the rolling countryside around Macdonald Botley Park Hotel by
Southampton, the revival of the Great British Sunday lunch will
allow family and friends of all ages to savour classic gastronomic
delights.
Using only the finest, freshest and where possible locally
sourced produce, prepared from whole raw ingredients, diners can
enjoy traditional soups, a roast of the day with seasonal
vegetarian alternatives, and nostalgic puddings including apple
crumble or bread and butter pudding.
David Guile, Chief Executive of Macdonald Hotels & Resorts,
commented: "Sunday lunch was once a time when friends and family
gathered together for a catch up over a succulent roast. However,
in today's generation with an ever increasing array of leisure
activities to tempt us, we have moved away from the traditional
Sunday gathering.
"In a year that has seen the UK celebrate the Queen's Jubilee
and the London Olympics, there are many who have enjoyed the
greater sense of community and national spirit. So what better time
to revisit and revive the appeal of the Great British Sunday lunch
as a savoured classic - and at prices that offer outstanding
value."
