Proper Sunday Roast at UBK

Proper Sunday Roast at UBK brings a classic British-style roast lunch to Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, served every Sunday afternoon at UBK, Urban Bar & Kitchen, at Wyndham Residences The Palm. You pick your roast, it arrives with all the trimmings, and a drink is included, all in the setting of a relaxed neighbourhood gastropub.

Chicken, beef or lamb with all the trimmings

The format keeps things simple. Each guest chooses one roast from three options:

• Chicken
• Beef
• Lamb

Whichever you choose, it comes with the essentials of a proper roast: crispy roast potatoes, a large Yorkshire pudding and rich gravy. It is a plate built around the traditional Sunday lunch rather than a buffet, so the focus is on one well-loaded main course.

A glass of hops or grapes

Every roast includes one complimentary drink, described on the listing as a glass of hops or grapes, meaning a beer or a glass of wine. If you would rather not drink alcohol, a soft drink is offered instead. Guests must be 21 or over with valid ID to be served alcohol.

Anything beyond the roast and that first drink is not part of the package. Further drinks, alcoholic or not, and other dishes from the menu are ordered separately, and transport to and from the venue is not included.

Sunday afternoons, 12.30pm to 4.30pm

The roast is served on Sundays only, from 12.30pm to 4.30pm, which makes it a natural long lunch to end the week. The gastropub setting is cosy and unhurried, the kind of place where a table of friends or family can settle in for the afternoon rather than rush through a set menu.

Table reservations are recommended, particularly if you are coming as a group. If anyone at the table has dietary requirements or allergies, let the service team know in advance.

Note that bookings made through the ticket page cannot be cancelled or changed once confirmed, so pick your Sunday before you book.

Finding UBK on the Palm

The listing places UBK at Wyndham Residences The Palm, while the ticket page’s venue field shows Th8 Palm Dubai Beach Resort on the West Crescent, so confirm the exact address with UBK when you reserve. The directions given on the listing lead to the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah.

• By car or taxi: drive onto the Crescent of Palm Jumeirah and head towards the West Crescent. Taxis and ride-hailing apps can drop you at the resort entrance.
• By public transport: take the Dubai Metro to Sobha Realty or DMCC, change to the Dubai Tram to Palm Jumeirah station, ride the Palm Monorail to its nearest stop, then take a short taxi along the West Crescent.

Who it suits

This is a good fit for anyone missing a traditional roast, for families after a relaxed Sunday lunch, and for friends who want a long afternoon out without committing to a full brunch package.
