Fiume is an Italian restaurant, but every Sunday, they serve delicious (and huge!) English Sunday Lunches (which also gets called "Sunday Dinner" by the Brits, who sometimes refer to lunch as "dinner").
For those who are unfamiliar with English Sunday Lunches, they are traditionally served every Sunday (hence the name) in most British homes, pubs and restaurants. They consist mainly of a type of meat (chicken, pork, beef, lamb or turkey, or a nut roast or Quorn sausages for vegetarians), yorkshire pudding, potatoes (roasted, mashed and boiled) and a variety of boiled vegetables, such as carrots, peas, turnip and cabbage. This is almost always topped with gravy.
Kris and I both opted for a 2-course Sunday lunch, with me having a starter and main and Kris having a main and a dessert (well, coffee).
For my starter, I chose a Prawn Cocktail served with cucumber and gem lettuce. The prawns were so big, juicy and very tasty!! Prawn Cocktail is a very common starter in the UK.

For my main, I opted for a Pork Sunday Lunch, and Kris went for the Beef Sunday Lunch. The portions were sooo big, but the food was very good!! The meal itself was very British!

Needless to say, after such a hearty meal, both Kris and I were stuffed!! But that didn't stop us from having a cheeky tipple after our meal as a treat ;) Cosmopolitan cocktail for me, please!!
