THE traditional roast is still the nation's favourite meal, according to a new survey. Twice as many people prefer it to Chinese or Indian food, despite an increase in the popularity of exotic dishes. But only two of the nation's top five foods are traditionally British - with fish and chips fourth in the list of favourites. Stunning facts for Mirror readers

The Oakford Social Club does Records and Roasts like nowhere else in Reading. What better way to spend a Sunday than curled up on a leather couch with a quality £6 home-made roast, that will put your Mother to shame? You can also help yourself to a complimentary shot of Bloody Mary to wash it down. The best (hungover) DJs in town, generally not playing house music, will soundtrack your Sunday with the latest and greatest off-centre music around. For a taste of the unexpected, look out for our incredible quizzes, jumble sales, country and western hoedowns, pie-eating competitions and local art exhibitions.
