'It has to be Bisto, extra thick': Victoria Beckham reveals David's Sunday roast secret and the one food he will never eat

Victoria Beckham has opened up about the family's Sunday roast rituals, revealing that the Beckhams reach for Bisto extra-thick gravy rather than a homemade reduction — despite David's well-known enthusiasm in the kitchen. Victoria, 52, describes her role at family dinners as 'creative director', handling the playlist and table décor while David, 51, oversees the food and wine. The couple sit down with children Romeo, Cruz and Harper at around 6.30pm, wherever in the world they happen to be.

David is 'particularly committed' to the weekly roast, with Yorkshire puddings and stuffing as crowd-pleasers — but parsnips are strictly banned from his plate.

Victoria admits she is 'not up early doing the cooking', preferring Ella Fitzgerald on the speakers and Cire Trudon candles on the table.

Phones remain pocketed throughout the meal — not through any formal rule, but simply because conversation keeps everyone too occupied to reach for them, Victoria says.
