Which places were named?
The Dukes Head, Billericay
The website said: “This recently renovated country pub had us at bottomless gravy.
“Every lunch comes piled high with roast potatoes, sautéed greens, roasted root veg and Yorkshire pudding.
“As well as the usuals – British half roast chicken, 21-day aged sirloin of beef, slow-cooked pork belly or sweet potato, butternut and chestnut roast, at The Duke’s Head you can also go for the trio roast – beef, pork belly and chicken for £24.75.
“Or the epic sharing roast experience for two for £53.95: sirloin of beef, half rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked pork belly, crackling, chestnut and pork stuffing, cauliflower cheese, horseradish cream, bread sauce and apple ketchup.
“We’re sold.
“Little ones can tuck into chicken, beef or the sweet potato roast, from £9.50.”
The website said: “Not only does this characterful pub have bottomless gravy, it also has bottomless Yorkshires and roasties.
“Yes, you heard us right.
“Choose from half roast chicken, 21-day matured British beef rump, British pork loin with cracking and apple and pear chutney, or roast cauliflower steak with truffle cauliflower purée and spiced corn and seed crumble.
“There’s cauliflower cheese, roast seasonal veg and savoy cabbage to enjoy alongside too.
“You can also enjoy a starter and/or dessert for £6 each when you order a roast, so it would be rude not to indulge.
“After all, the pistachio soufflé sounds super light.
“Children can also get in on the roast action with smaller portions of beef and chicken served for half the price.”
The website said: “A stone’s throw from the historic town of Saffron Walden, and situated in prime walking and cycling territory, surrounded by postcard-perfect thatched cottages, The Cricketers is the ideal stop after a morning exploring the local area.
“Dogs aren’t just allowed here, they’re welcomed, with their own special menu filled with hand-baked, natural treats.
“The plates here are piled with the crispest potatoes, fluffiest Yorkshires and the most buttery of veg.
“Enjoy two courses for £30, or three for a very reasonable £35.
“Menus change with the seasons, but expect the likes of beef, pork loin or spiced squash, all served with roasties, carrot and squash purée, seasonal greens, a Yorkshire pudding, and of course gravy, plus optional cauliflower cheese.
“For dessert, the choice is tough, but if it’s on the menu, the orchard fruit cobbler with cinnamon ice cream sounds delightful.”
