A study has revealed that Wales has the cheapest, with the average roast dinner in Cardiff costing a very reasonable £10.94.

Next for value was the north of England. Sheffield came out on top in Yorkshire with a £12.20 average, followed closely by Leeds at £12.50.

Geordies also get a good deal with an average of £13.50 in Newcastle.

Across the Irish Sea in Belfast, a Sunday roast will set you back £14.57.

In Edinburgh a traditional roast will set you back £17.68, and over the border in Manchester, it is around £15.31.

It probably won't be surprising to hear that London is the most expensive spot for their roast, spuds and Yorkshire pud, with it costing almost £20 in the capital.

Kirsten Bolton from holiday homes construction firm Willerby who commissioned the study said: "In the past a slab of meat and fluffy potatoes would set you back mere pennies. Nowadays you’re looking upwards of 15 quid."

She wasn't surprised by the results, adding: "As the home of the most expensive commercial rents in the UK, it will be no surprise to learn that London is the most expensive region in the UK to order a Sunday roast."

Willerby's study also looked at the prices of afternoon tea across the UK.

London came in on top with it costing a whopping £42 - double the price of any other city.

The cheapest spot for some tea, scones and clotted cream is the East Midlands where the posh treat costs an average of £16.37.

It was revealed in July that just one in five of the 2,000 adults polled regularly sit down to the feast of a roast each weekend.

More than a fifth simply say they aren’t bothered about eating a Sunday roast, while 18 per cent claim they don’t have the time to cook it.

This is compared to 82 per cent of previous generations who sat down to a full roast every single week.
