Release the Yorkies! No need to slave over a roast or wrangle with the new socially distant dining. We've found 10 of the best Sunday lunches all available to takeaway. Eat, drink, stay in your PJs

I love a big ol’ roast dinner as much as the next woman but, my goodness, aren’t they a faff to make? Hours of peeling, basting and washing up of roasting tins… and then it’s scoffed in 10 minutes flat. So in an attempt to take things easy this weekend, I’m gathering my brood and ordering takeaway from these brilliant local pubs. A great idea if you’re quite ready to eat out yet. Yorkshire puds ahoy!
