Not dined in the likes of the Fat Duck though, I wonder how good it really is?
Fat duck was ok when it first started out and more fun, since then its become more of a brand and with more staff than punters. If you're a first timer it's fun.
As for winter warmers:
boeuf bourguignon with buttery mash
lamb and chorizo stew with butterbeans
sausage and mash
pork chops with cider gravy and mash
roast chicken
slow roast pork belly

Quarter or half a roast goose with sauerkraut

For me, a roast pork with crackling, roast spuds and parsnips and a really good cider takes some beating for a Sunday lunch. Ideal for coming home to after some sport in the wind and rain.
So sick was I of turkey every Christmas in the family home, that at the first opportunity the above was what I did for my own Christmas dinner. Sprouts as well, mind. It does indeed take a lot of beating.
