"Sunday Lunch is the greatest of all British institutions - it is the basis of family life‚ whilst providing the menu that sustains us for the rest of the week. Talk‚ eat‚ discuss‚ eat some more - great!" - Nigel Havers

"My mother was never a great cook‚ but everyone came to our house for the Great Sunday Lunch. There were so many of us from every generation that by the time we had finished eating and catching up on the week's gossip it was time for the Great Sunday Supper. There is still no better way to spend the day." - Michael Aspel OBE
