We went to Roast for an intimate birthday meal, and they looked after us EXTREMELY well. I love this restaurant and the staff and the atmosphere. I dont think you can beat it for any occasion !

I went to Roast with some friends for a 30th birthday last night. The starters were good but the mains took over an hour to arrive and were not to the standard we expected. The lamb was too fatty and very tough and the calves liver was raw in the middle.


There was a good selection of wines but the service was poor. We did get a bottle of champagne when we complained but I wouldn't go back to Roast, which is a shame as the atmosphere was generally good.

Roast is a breath of fresh air. The venue is beautiful, I could sit for hours watching the trains go by through the huge windows. It's worth asking to sit on the higher platform as it provides a better view.

The Roast menu is rewritten for lunch and dinner depending on what fresh produce is available so it's difficult to comment on any one dish, but traditional Sunday lunch fare is always available.

By all means have a roast dinner with all the trimmings but rather than just roast beef why not try ox heart, or suckling pig with black pudding? Its worth the risk as the more unusual things on the menu tend (at least in my experience) to be the most delicious.

The wine at Roast was fantastic with an unsual list that includes many British bottles. The entire experience is very reasonably priced which is lucky for me as I would pay next to anything for the warm fuzzy feeling that I get after a meal there.
