Roast, Roast Restaurant

Had a lovely time at Roast, but there were a couple of small issues that held it back. Starters: The Scotch egg was a highlight—crispy on the outside with a perfectly runny yolk. The beetroot sauce added a sweet balance, and the fresh watercress brought a nice touch. Mains: • The Beef Wellington was excellent—tender beef, crisp pastry, and the truffle mash was smooth and packed with flavor. The gravy tied it all together beautifully. • The steak, however, was a letdown. It was chewy and not cooked medium-rare as requested, which was disappointing considering the price point. Sides: The cauliflower cheese was indulgent with a golden, crispy top, the roast potatoes were perfectly crispy outside and fluffy inside, and the Yorkshire puddings were huge and light—exactly what you’d expect from a proper roast. Ambience: The space is stunning, especially with the festive decorations like the ceiling of wrapped gifts. The large windows create a bright, inviting atmosphere, perfect for a leisurely meal. Service: The staff were professional, polite, and attentive, which really enhanced the experience. Price: It’s worth mentioning that everything is on the expensive side. While the quality of the food is mostly great, the steak falling short made the price feel a bit harder to justify. Overall: Roast is a beautiful place with great service and mostly excellent food, but for the price, I expected everything to be spot on. Perfect for a special occasion, but just be prepared to spend a little more.
