Roast - Carta

Food was poor. Service was really slow. Cost was pretty high for low value.

My partner I both enjoyed every single bite! Really good food. Thank you for accommodating us earlier too :

Very good food. Excellent wine list. Beautiful building and ambience. Slightly let down by very slow service as the restaurant was busy. Ver carta

Went for their special summer menu for 30£ or 32 with a glass of prosecco and was pleasantly surprised. Starters: we all went for the scotch egg which was

The food was just okay. The crackling on the pork was too tough. The service was slow and we had to ask multiple times for water and to have our wine refilled.

Horrible service took 30 mins to take our order, and then the tea didn’t actually come out and we had to ask for it after we’d gotten our cakes. One of our party is GF and asked for the gluten free option. The cakes were all the same as the one on the regular trays. All in all, quite tacky, and just awful service. Ver carta

I made a reservation for a table for six people at 1:45 on a weekday. However, it took the waitress 30 minutes before she took our drink orders.

Fine, but uninspired, and not great for out-of-town guests.

I avoid writing negative reviews, but I feel Roast should discontinue its high tea. It started well: the restaurant is lovely, and the table looked nice. Roast is a restaurant, busy and loud, w most patrons NOT enjoying high tea. There was no fine china in sight. Our young, nice waiter knew zero, nada, nothing about the teas served, about seven choices, all but two familiar to us. The tiered servers were plopped unceremoniously on the table w no explanation. The food was tasty, the tea remained hot; no one spoke to us again; we even had difficulty paying our bill. Roast tea was relatively inexpensive. However, 50% of high tea is the trappings, the attention, the pride and knowledge of produc... Ver carta
