Sunday roast Leeds: Italian Sunday lunch near the city
18 October 2026
A Sunday roast Leeds diners can enjoy doesn’t have to be a pub roast. At Valentino's Italian Restaurant, we serve traditional Sunday lunch with an Italian character, just beyond the city in Wakefield.
We’re at 699 Leeds Road, Lofthouse Gate, Wakefield, so you can make a short trip from Leeds for a different kind of Sunday meal. Our Sunday opening hours are 12 pm to 9 pm. Simple to plan.
In this guide, we’ll explain what to expect from Sunday lunch with us, where to find the restaurant and how to book online. If you’re choosing between a familiar pub roast and an Italian meal around the table, you’ll have the details to decide if our Sunday lunch suits your plans.
