Square Meal review of Roast:

Much has been made of Roast’s venue – the former Floral Hall from Old Covent Garden Market, which has been transported, lock stock & steel girder to Borough Market, its huge glass windows affording wonderful views out over the bustle below. But it’s the kitchen’s devotion to sourcing & intelligent usage of the best British ingredients that ‘continues to impress – there’s always something on the menu shouting “pick me!”,’ note readers. Start with a pressed rabbit terrine served with tangy apple chutney – although, in season, the lobster & sprue asparagus salad is very tempting. ‘Good, honestly sized portions’ of Elwy lamb or roast chicken with bread sauce & bacon have a pleasing simplicity about them, & be sure to save room for top-notch puds like caramel pot or strawberry jelly. Service can be a bit hit & miss, with some describing it as excellent, others as appalling – on the whole, however, most agree that ‘service has improved no end from the early days’.
