The Sunday roast is one of the few British institutions Pattaya does properly, and for a lot of people here it is the fixed point of the week. Some of the best go unadvertised — the roast at the Hideaway barely appears in its online reviews at all, and turned up on this list because I ate one. The best I have found so far is the carvery at the Sportsman on Soi 13 — a big selection, all of it good, and the staff keep it topped up even when it's busy. Two different things go by the name: all-you-can-eat carveries, where you go back for more and pick sides off a tick-sheet, and roasts cooked to order, where one plate arrives and it is a better plate. Both are worth having, so the list says which is which. Service usually starts around noon and the good ones sell out or stop carving well before closing, so ring ahead — every place here takes bookings, and Sunday is the one day it matters. Ordered by how much of a roast destination each one is, rather than by rating.

The selection of food is excellent and so is the taste — this is the best Sunday roast I have found in Pattaya yet. It can get busy, but the staff do a great job of keeping the food topped up. Recommended!”

Book ahead, because it fills, especially for a group. The rest of the week it's worth coming for the fish and chips, cut from fresh fillets rather than frozen.”

It's out past the lake on Siam Country Club Road so you'll be driving, but parking is easy. Skip the breakfasts, which are the weak spot, and come for the Sunday.”

Prices are fair, and the counter facing the soi is the best seat in the place for an afternoon of watching Jomtien go past. Open until one, so it works late too.”

Photo: The Hideaway Guesthouse, Bar & Grill via Google “I've eaten the Sunday roast here and it's the real thing — a choice of chicken, beef or pork, proper trimmings, and a dessert to follow, at a price that doesn't punish you. None of which you'd learn from the reviews, which talk about the breakfast and barely mention Sunday at all. Tucked off Soi Buakhao at the Soi Boomerang end, so it's a walk rather than a drive from most of town.”

Photo: Witherspoons Buakhao via Google “A sports pub first and a roast second — Sunday lunch is one item on a long list of pub staples rather than the reason the kitchen exists. Come for the screens with the sound on, the Tiger on tap and a decent plate rather than a destination dinner. Breakfast is the weak spot, and service can be slow to get going, so catch someone's eye early.”
