Easter isn’t just about the main course at Turf Tavern. Save room for something sweet, like our rich Chocolate Fudge Cake or a classic Apple and Berry Crumble.. Need a pick-me-up? Sip on a smooth coffee, or head to the bar for a crisp pint or one of our signature cocktails. Whatever you fancy, we’ll make sure your Easter meal ends on a high.

What is the tradition behind Easter?

Easter brings people together to celebrate spring’s fresh beginnings. It’s a holiday rooted in Christianity, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but these days, it’s also about chocolate eggs, roast dinners, and getting everyone together for tasty food and good times.

What do people commonly eat over Easter?

Roast dinners steal the spotlight at Easter, and lamb is often the traditional pick. But plenty of people love turkey, beef, or a veggie main for their Easter Sunday feast. Whatever your choice, we all know it’s the trimmings you’re really here for – roasties, gravy, and seasonal veg galore. And don’t forget dessert – hot cross buns and chocolate eggs make Easter extra sweet!

When is Easter in 2026?

Easter Sunday lands on 5th April in 2026, with Good Friday on 3rd April kicking off the long weekend. It’s the perfect time to slow down, enjoy a delicious Easter Sunday lunch, and spend time with the people who matter the most.
