Taken from The Guardian: This pub in Edinburgh’s East New Town has been serving Sunday roasts since it opened in 2014 and “spotted a gap in the market”. There are still very few places in Edinburgh specialising in Sunday lunch – and clearly there is a demand. The Ox’s usual diverse menu is available all week, but on a Sunday most diners go for the roast – beef, pork belly or veggie nut with big yorkshire puds, triple-fried chips, green beans and cauliflower cheese. It now does almost 200 covers, so that was some gap in the market. Sunday lunch is served from noon until nine, booking essential. Many locals head for Stockbridge’s Sunday market 20 minutes to the west and strollers might head downhill to Tesco to pick up the cycle and walking path to the shores of Leith and Newhaven.
