Roast in Southwark

The afternoon tea experience at Roast was outstanding. Could not fault!

Lovely experience - popped in for a lunch a few times and the food is always great.

Terrible customer service. From the girls at the reception to the waiter on the table. A horror movie, rude, helpless and overpriced! Avoid!

Great food. Good selection of wines. Service on point.

Food was good although small portions, was made to wait for 45mins before seated at table, was told we had to leave at end of out 2hr time slot even though we were seated late. Manager was quite rude about it, told us we were seated on time even though we weren't and took a fair while to take order for 20 people and bring food out. Money we spent to be told we needed finish before desert was even put on table showed how poor customer service is. Couldn't get a simple beer order correct, not just once but several times. Been treated better in a Weatherspoons.

Had a lovely Christmas-y roast lunch - gorgeous decorations and excellent food. Scotch egg, pork belly, beef wellington, and turkey were very good!

Came here for a lunch - it was very nice food. The service was attentive but they got a few details wrong. Overall a very good roast, one of the better ones in London.

Great scotch eggs! Great roast dinner, staff very efficient and welcoming. And a nice touch for our anniversary with a little chocolate tart was much appreciated! Only complaint was too full for dessert!

Sunday Roast at Roast…appropriate! Food: Beef Wellington was cooked and presented to perfection but the medium rare beef roast was more rare. Potatoes and creamed spinach were delicious. All prepared for a GF patron Service: Impeccable…I wanted to give an additional gratuity but the no-contact machines made that a bit complicated. Atmosphere: Above the Borough Market crowds which was quite nice but our table was too close to the waiter’s station. Otherwise, Roast is very well appointed. I’d recommend Sunday Roast when in the UK but maybe somewhere a bit more quaint.

Having previously eaten just the potatoes while in the market, we was very excited to try the restaurant. Should of left it there. We went into a beautiful setting, no one offered to take our coats. We was seated in the window which was lovely. The Christmas decorations were pretty. Hubby had beef Wellington, £45, and I had beef, £36.50, medium rare. With extra sides of stuffing £7 and pigs in blankets, £7. Two beers at £6 each and 2 ciders at £6. Food looked amazing. The beef and Wellington was lovely. Potatoes, which I was so excited about, were ok, just ok. The mash had so much truffle and garlic that it wasnt good. The green vegetables weren't drained enough so there was a quite a bit of water at the bottom of the bowl. The vegetables were so salty, as was the stuffing and pigs in blankets. I love salt but seriously...no one came to ask if our food was ok. Not once. Second drink took a while to serve. They did bring out a little chocolate tartlet for my birthday but no "Happy Birthday ". Overall we won't be coming back and won't recommend to others. £140 not well spent.

Wonderful evening, amazing food and wine.

The only ROAST I can recommend is this review - What on earth has happened to this once great restaurant?? Avoid this tourist trap and go next door to Greek Souvla bar AGORA instead. Having enjoyed a fantastic dinner here about 10 years ago I was shocked at how mediocre/below average the food and service were here this time now to the mention the extortionate prices (like £8.50 for some of the sides). My Rib-Eye steak was grey and tough as old shoe leather, the "Rosemary and garlic roast potatoes" didn't look or taste like they'd even seen any and the sticky toffee pudding was so bland I've had better supermarket versions. Then to be presented with a bill for nearly £260 for two of us (without any wine or other alcohol) but with a whacking great service charge of 15% was the final insult. Don't bother coming here unless you want to get ripped off. 1/10

New Year's Eve dinner here, armed robbery

Went on a Sunday at lunchtime. Service was appalling, felt like too many people were in the restaurant. Food was okay.

Such a shame. The food is good but the overall ambience is really disappointing. Turned up - no smile or hello, just a Miserable face to take coats. Sit down, efficient service but v disinterested. Nobody expects anyone to be totally interested in your story as a punter but a semblance of happy to see you would have been good. We asked for doggy bags and were given 2 takeaway cartons and a carry bag to dish it up for ourselves - not acceptable for a restaurant of this price point. We left and picked up coats. No goodbye or thank you at any point. Here or McDonald’s - your choice 🤷‍♀️

Fabulous evening, food, service and location. Will be back

A cover charge? I assume that the restaurant didn't previously pass on tips to staff and have now added a cover charge to make up for 'their' lost profits. From the menu: "Prices are inclusive of VAT. A discretionary 15% service charge, which includes a non-discretionary £2 per head cover charge, will be added to your bill".

Went for afternoon tea in October (bit late writing the review). Food was okay, but often felt a bit style over substance. Quite a few dishes looked amazing but weren't that nice to eat, for example the black scones made with activated charcoal. I'm sure they look great on Instagram or wherever, but charcoal is a drying ingredient, and these scones were so dry that we left half of them. But my biggest complaint was how crowded it was. The tables were packed far too close together - i had the seat with my back to the aisle, and every single time a waiter or guest walked by they jostled the back of my chair. We were also the first table by the entrance, so we spent the entire meal with people standing over our table, looming over us (as the desk had guests stand next to our table while they waited for their table to be ready, which is why the service only gets 2 stars. The waiters were fine, but the desk has no idea how to manage crowds). The constant jostling and being loomed over made it impossible to relax and enjoy the occasion. Not that it was a particularly long occasion - after 1hr and 25min they announced they needed the table back. Afternoon tea is supposed to be a slow, indulgent experience. This was rushed, frustrating, and very expensive for indifferent food.

Visited last week for a food and drinks. Service was good as in they were very accommodating being that I was 20mins late for my booking; however the waiter service was less than average maybe he was having a bad day but he was rather miserable. The food was less than adequate; being that the roast dinner was £34 the potatoes were dry and lacked any flavour, same for the turkey. In fact the entire plate was missing any flavour and just drowned in gravy to make up for the fact it was so dry. Over priced and poor quality; which is dissappointing as the venue was so well decorated for the festive season.

This can be said to be the most disappointing steak wellington I have ever eaten. Although the steak had no smell and was tender, there was no beef aroma at all. It was not the beef fat aroma. It was the sweetness of the beef itself that I didn't feel at all. So there is basically no level to speak of in terms of taste. Without the sauce, the whole steak is really tasteless, but the mashed potatoes on the side are very flavorful. Because there was a waiting time for the steak, I ordered the Scotch egg as a starter. I thought the Scotch egg was pretty good and average. I also ordered Yorkshire pudding, which is a good side dish with beef. I think it is the second most delicious thing in this restaurant after mashed potatoes 😂 No comment on the service part. The reception attitude at the front desk is good, but the waiters don't seem to care about the guests. For example, the water glass is not automatically refilled when it is empty. After the request for water is raised, it is not processed immediately. Instead, you have to ask again before you can drink a glass of water. Service It’s also difficult for students to cue. It’s actually quite expensive to be served like this and charge a 15% service fee. Overall, if you come here for steak, you can go to Savoy or the one with bubble buttom. This one is really good😅

We absolutely had to visit this restaurant after hearing it’s a must-see spot. The entrance was a bit tricky to find, but once we made our way up and stepped inside, we were blown away. First off, the decor — it’s truly something special! We got a table quickly, though I’d recommend making a reservation since it filled up in ten minutes. The food was great—I had a super tasty mushroom risotto. They also have a big selection of wines by the glass, which is a big plus for us. Even if you’re planning to grab a bite from the stalls at Borough Market, this place is one you shouldn’t skip!

It is a great setting, really nice vibe ( if a little squeezed ) and nicely decorated for Christmas. Giulio made a huge difference though and was probably the most positive aspect of the evening! . He was brilliant and so helpful with my daughter who is a bit fussy with food. We are very grateful to him for making her evening and food great! Ours ( nut roast ) was ok but the veg was a little cold and the gravy so overpowering it rendered everything else tasting only of that. Daughter’s starter was nice but the prawns I had were again cold and the sharp orange in the salad may be a la mode but it made me wince. Desserts great !

Lovely decorations! The Christmas turkey roast was very filling and staff were great. It was slightly cramped but that’s likely as it’s the Christmas season and we went on a Friday

Beautiful restaurant, incredible food and fantastic service. I went with 25 of my office colleagues and we all loved it. Will come again for sure!

Very busy, came for Xmas dinner. The dinner was really good. Nice selection of non alcoholic drinks. Service was great, very attentive. the presentation was great. I really liked the sticky toffee dessert here. The turkey main was delicious. I would come here again in the new year.

I would give 0 stars if I could. This place is so overhyped and tries to play fancy but the reality is different. They try to put clients in every free corner and aren't able to manage the chaos. We received our cold main plate only a few minutes after sitting down, but our starters came later. The whole experience felt very stressful and chaotic and people talking around us confirmed that we weren't the only ones with this opinion. Also the main reason why we went was the roast but we never ate such a bad one. Very disappointing...

Despite being really busy in the run up to Christmas the staff were amazing. The Turkey was a little dry but everything else was perfect. Loved the pink Christmas decorations! And cheers to the bartender for a perfect Old Fashioned.

All decorated for Chtistmas brought out the Christmas feeling for me. Food was great and serving generous. Drinks were excellent. To gain a voucher with a percentage off any meal duing January is great reminder to return again

Not the best day to visit. Friday night just before Xmas. The place was rammed, which meant one of our party was constantly buffered by people passing. Initial service was poor. Waiter vanished after one of our party ordered a drink, and then told another of our party he thought we were rude when we commented on it. We weren't. Trust me, he'd have known if we had a serious point to make. My Xmas themed scotch egg was excellent, but absolutely drowned by a very sweet cranberry ketchup. The beef Wellington was perfect. We knocked the 15% included automatically in the bill down to 10% as it would have been excessive even without the issues

The best roast dinner I have ever had!. Visited roast with work colleagues and we all had ana amazing time, everyone's food was fantastic. The staff were really attentive even for a large table. I have all ready booked to go back and it was amazing!

Beautiful place with great service. Very nice and polite staff. I had lunch there today with a friend. We didn't enjoy being packed in like sardines in the section where we were seated, but I understand that it is a very popular and busy restaurant at this time of year.

Had the turkey roast when visiting Borough market whilst on holiday from Glasgow. Food was very good but like the most of London very expensive too.

Christmas as a Roast is always amazing; this was no exception for another year. The decor was just as stunning as last year; the Christmas vibe was in full swing. The drinks were slow to get to us due to how busy it was, but the staff were super friendly and made the time pass until the drinks arrived. The food was excellent; I can recommend the pork belly and the Christmas dinner; significant portions

Booked a party of 21 for family Xmas - on the afternoon of Saturday 14th. The Market was rammed. Encouragingly busy tables but very helpful & attentive staff. Great food and wine. We had a lovely time. Exceptional setting within the Market. We visited local pubs. And it's a lovely very short walk to the river, which added to the day (good weather).

We were booked in to attend Roast. Unfortunately my partner came down very unwell which turned into Norovirus. I tried calling the restaurant the evening before a few times to let them no we wouldn't be able to come, no anwser, I sent an email first thing the following morning AND continued to relentlessly call their number to speak to someone. I never got through. I recieved no response to my email and a charge of £60 despite not being able to get through to anyone. We were booked in to go this weekend instead needless to say given to poor customer service we will give it a miss!

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.

Lovely place, great service and food was really good - apart from the Beef Wellington which was a tad cold hence4/5

The service was absolutely terrible - staff were rude and the hostess didn’t know what was going on. Never felt so out of place in a restaurant before. Not going back

The restaurant was very busy , so there were delays with service . Although the website showed several menus , only one was available - the festive menu . Food was good and served hot. Would like some more interesting icecream flavours e.g. coffee and cardamom or brown bread . £140 for 2 . No starters , a main each , one side, a few scoops of ice cream , 2 coffees and a bottle of wine. Wine prices started about £48 per bottle.

Beautiful place to dine with family and love ones.

Good food but let down by terrible service. Our sides did not arrive with the food and drinks took an age to come. Because of the slow service they did not allow us to have dessert and rushed us to pay the bill.

Food good but not exceptional, service a bit hit and miss. Noisy restaurant with tables too close together

Service was terrible, the staff had no idea about the menu. We kept having to ask for tap water and for our wine to be topped up. They told us they needed the table back after we had asked for the bill twice. Bill was incorrect. Appreciate they are busy at Christmas, but would have expected better service for a ‘high end’ Sunday toast establishment.

Not a brilliant choice no option for a la carte on Sunday far too busy to remember the order & had to ask 3 times to get drinks. Also forgot one of the meals they didnt bother topping our wine either bottles are left behind the bar area had to request a wine cooler to be left at the table.No custard for pudding only a dollop of cream, small amount of cheese on the platter. Very disappointed in the restaurant it’s changed a lot far too many people for staff to cope.

Another fantastic meal. So lively and busy. Real party atmosphere and yet the food is delivered swiftly and excellent.

Sunday lunch, queue to get in, made stressful by entitled people trying to skip queue, despite being told we all had reservations. . Service was efficient but didn’t really interact with us, we needed to order a vegetable dish and this should have been suggested. Food was nice but £170 for two, without a bottle of wine, and no starter I would expect it to be very good indeed.

Awful, awful, awful. Don’t book for a 12pm lunch or you’ll be out by 12:30pm. Completely rushed service, with our cocktails not coming out until the main. We had to cancel our bottle of wine because there was no time to drink it. I have never had a starter come out within 5 mins of ordering, and then a full roast dinner and beef wellington 5 mins after that. Felt like a carvery, with reheated food. The food was cold and had to be sent back. Excuse was they can’t predict the tables. Manager less than accommodating and was extremely unhelpful. Really disappointed as we booked weeks in advance and ruined a potentially lovely anniversary meal.

Overbooked over Christmas so queues waiting to be seated in very cramped tables. The food itself is excellent but as a business, they are really trying to wring as much out of people are possible. Best for a xmas do, not really anywhere where you want to sit and relax.

We were told on booking we only had the table for 90 mins, arrived promptly but took 10 mins to be seated. Down to 80 mins, drinks arrived 10 mins later, (70 mins) no order taken, had to ask to order which took another 8 minutes so now 28mins in to our 1.5hr booking. Needless to say, only had time for a main course as that took 20 mins to arrive. Pity service was so slow, as food was great and would have liked to have had a three course meal but would probably have been turfed out after the starter.... as other on here would attest to. So, good food...very slow service!

I had a fantastic Christmas lunch at the restaurant. The food was excellent, and the restaurant was festively decorated. It had a great atmosphere and food.

A bad start left standing in front of reception for a while before anyone looked up to see a queue had formed. The beef croquette starter was cold and the main took so long to arrive after that we were bored. The food was ok but the wait staff were rude were all evening, almost slamming the plates down each time. Seated next to the very busy wait station felt like we were being crowded and looked over all evening and it seemed to take around 8 staff 15 minutes to make up the table behind us which was hugely distracting. Not a relaxing evening and for the cost of the food here, the overall experience was poor. Would not dine here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed a Christmas meal at Roast with friends on Saturday night. It was beautifully decorated and buzzing with a great atmosphere. The service was a bit patchy because it was so busy but not terrible. Food was good but nothing stood out to me as amazing. A good time was had by all.

My first time at Roast after hearing so many good recommendations about it. Great service from our waiter Joe, who went out of his way for us. Amazing food, wine and most of all atmosphere, we will be back again soon with the whole family.

My Wife and I enjoyed a Christmas dinner at the Roast, just an off the cuff moment. The atmosphere was alive, well decorated and staff are super friendly. The food was very nice, we started with the Salmon sharing platter which was generous and then the turkey dinner. Just a few small niggles, the salmon came with plain white bread which was a little odd and when I requested extra gravy, it came closer to the end of the meal, which made it redundant. The only thing was the cost, I thought it was a little on the pricey side. However it is the Roast and it's prime location, so you can be forgiven for spending a few extra pounds. Still worth the trip, will be back soon.

Disappointing, not been since last Christmas and the standard has plummeted. Beef croquette starters were cold and sent back. They were replaced and still cold. Mains were 100 day aged beef which was stone cold. Roast potato’s were superb and hot, cauliflower cheese was average, little to no truffle on it, veg included this year was a single carrot. Gravy was very tasty. Good ingredients, cooked well but badly plated up and served. Very poor value for money given the issues. Won’t go going back which is a shame as have really enjoyed to food over the years

Great experience. Always Great service, great food. Looking forward to visiting again.

Lovely place had a lovely Christmas dinner service was good however we didn’t get all we asked for as a side was missing . Didn’t question it as the staff were very busy and we weren’t charged. We had a 2 year old with us but his dinner was brought out last they should have brought it out first, wine was overpriced too ,but overall we had a nice time .

Good food, but too busy during the festive period.

Great food and service. Wine and bit topping but otherwise superb.

Lovely place so busy but a great experience the host could have been a little more friendly and smiley but waiting staff very welcoming.

It's always sn annual pleasure to have Christmas dinner here with my girls, this was no exception. The vibe was buzzing, the food and service was good as always.

BEST service Great food Excellent drinks Festive atmosphere

Fine dining prices for pub grub. Service wasn’t great, not helped by our table being on top of the kitchen. Expected better given the cost, won’t be returning when there are so many better places nearby.

My colleagues and I had our Christmas gathering on Friday 13th Dec 2024. We waited a while for our food and all the meals were lukewarm bordering on cold. We ate our meals as we waited long but I didn’t eat all of mine and one of my colleagues had a few mouthfuls. I must say considering the great reviews we were disappointed. One of my coworkers did not pay for her meal. For the prices charged, for us the quality and taste did not match. Nice ambiance but overall disappointing.

We really enjoyed the turkey dinner it was substantial, only room for coffee afterwards, no dessert. There were a lot of Christmas parties going on, large tables of people, but we were given a table for two by the window, perfect view of the surroundings below. We shall have a return visit next time we are in London.

Extremely busy and rushed. Food average I thought and overpriced for what it was

Beautiful place , lovely food good value Great location will definitely go back

Needed to move booking, several hours of no one answering phone (despite trying any and every option on the automated call answering service) before finally getting through, to be told rather rudely that the office had only just opened. It had not. Arrival, met by grumpy front of house, no offer to hang coat, grunted at to follow her to table. She dropped menus on table, pointed at the seat/s and left. Slow to clear table, coffee arrived without the hot milk requested and despite asking for water it just never arrived leaving us to have to resort to drinking the bottle of water purchased that morning on the way to the restaurant. Overall service was terrible. Will not be rushing back.

We had a lovely meal and the atmosphere was great. However, our food took about an hour to come!

Outrageous, clearly overbooked over Xmas and after 1h20m said we did not have time for desert. Appalling service and conduct, never experienced that before. Same happened to multiple tables. Had planned to visit with the family in January, won’t ever return.

Taken too many bookings for them to cope with. Not their usual standard.

Food great, service could have been more customer friendly.

A really nice experience in a unique location. Food is very good. The restaurant is very requested so you have to book in avance, when full it's quite noisy expecially if there are groups like during Christmas feasts. I would suggest because the location is fantastic and food is very good too.

The food was quite good however the service and timing was very disappointing. We had a table booking for 3pm and ended up being seated for 4.30pm, with no prior warning or communication! The food ended up being served extremely late.

I showed up without a reservation on the last day in England, but after waiting, I was able to eat Beef Wellington by myself with really good service.

One of my parents sadly died and as a result I had to cancel my breakfast reservation almost 72 hours in advance so I could attend the funeral directors - Roast charged me a fee to cancel despite having full knowledge of the circumstances. And the 3 senior staff (Marc Bevan, Mattia Babiero, Luca Terminello ) they list on the the website refused to even receive an email from me. So if you want to go to a restaurant with no customer service or indeed humanity - this is is the place for you!

We got there at 11:45am. Didn't get seated until 12 then waiting nearly 2hrs for our food - we have 20 minutes to eat it before we were told we had to leave as the next table had arrived. Not great service. No apology or discount even suggested, probably wouldn't return based off of this experience.

Told to leave after 1hr 45 mins after being given pudding menu. Offered to re cork the red!! Nothing on reservation to say we were on the clock. Huge queue when we left. To say it’s gone downhill is an understatement. Very poor and disappointing That place started out as a cool, unpretentious gaff above a food market

We have eaten here many times and this visit on 11th December was awful. The restaurant was too busy and even at the entrance we had to deal with people queuing to get in and out. This was worse when we left as they had fallen further behind. The beach chair we had one side of the table was broken and the back kept giving way. There was a gap between starter and main of an hour and then they brought out one incorrect dish, realised what they had done and said the other was being plated up. Meanwhile the rest was getting cold - nearly five minutes later the final main arrived. This was not cooked properly (belly pork) as the crackling was soft and there was more fat than meat - overall a terrible experience - over booked and poor service staff overworked. Such a shame as spoilt out day completely.

Very busy at Christmas. Do not expect to have much room to move.

We ordered within 15minutes of arriving at our table, and we arrived early. The food was so slow to come, an hour in between our starters and mains. When we finished our main and asked to order our pudding we were told we couldn't because they needed the table back even though the reason it hd taken two hours for us to finish was the fault of the restaurant and not ours, we were kicked out before finishing our meal! Disgraceful... The general manager was also extremely rude about the situation and basically said that it wasn't his problem

Had a great evening, despite slow service. It took over 2 hours to serve our mains, the manager kicked us out due to having another booking, and then proceeded to try and lie and say we were half an hour late, despite us being a few minutes early. The staff were very accommodating despite the disappointing attitude of the manager. We wont be back!

Great quality food, solid service and a festive ambience. Impressive Christmas decor.

Great food in an iconic location. Service was good considering how busy they were. Will definitely be returning

Great food, fantastic ambience - highly recommend.

Lovely setting. Good food choices, a little cold and had to ask for some food we were waiting for but it came quickly.

We went to celebrate our sons anniversary as they live in China , so we celebrate for them lovely meal , very comfortable and well looked after

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas with the ceilings covered in parcels. The food was good but quite pricey. Service at times was a little slow, however, the restaurant was very full. Overall an enjoyable evening

Firstly must say the décor and food was fantastic and highly recommend. my only complaint was that we was left standing around in a corridor as our table wasn't ready and they have taken up the bar area with restaurant seating which makes for a very compact dinning experience

We had a table booked for three. We arrived we were seated nicely, the venue is beautifully decorated, we waited for 25 minutes for three cokes as we were all driving, whilst we were eating the first waiter came to our table and lent across each of us and took our spare cutlery, this should of been done before the main course not during it was a small table and we had to literally stop putting the food on the Fork in our mouths, we were all quite shocked, then i happened a second time when the second waiter came up and lent over to take the spare glasses from our tables, food wise the Turkey was all cabbage with three small slices if Turkey and the smallest bit of Stuffing on a bed of mostly red cabbage, I was told the Nutroast was extremely bland and most was left as the person was so board with it, not once did anyone come to our table and ask if every thing was ok, overall nice venue food average waiters were all running round with no idea, we had to ask for the bill three times, the final lady that got the bill was very attentive and helpful.

Eat frequently in Roast but this afternoon had a few challenges. Everyone seemed to have the same reservation time leading to a long queue and a 15 minute wait time in the corridor. Food was excellent as always and drinks came quickly. Another table had booked for 6 but had only been given a table for 4 so that created some fuss near my table.

Very poor experience. Food took ages to come. No updates. No one came to ask if we wanted more drinks. Then we were told the fish takes longer to cook. It was the smallest piece of fish- 8 mins max. We waited 45 minutes for food. Gravy was flavourless. Roast potatoes too crunchy and no rosemary flavour. No offer of discount or drink. Then drink order came and it was wrong. All in all, an awful Christmas meal.

The Sunday roasts were wonderful. Highly recommend d the cauliflower cheese. Be prepared to wait.

First time visiting and it was rammed, had to wait in a queue all the way from the lift even though booked a table. Then when we were seated, I had booked for a table of 5 and they only gave us a table for four. Food was overpriced and very average, dry Turkey and arrived cold. Had to ask for extra gravy which was also charged on bill. Asked for drinks and they never arrived. Noise levels through the roof and struggled to have a conversation on the table due to this. Waiting staff very slow and forgetful. Things were added to the bill we never received. Really disappointed as was expecting a decent roast from a restaurant with the name “roast”, all I can say is waste of money. We traveled a long way for this but such a shame and walked out annoyed by the price and what we received for the money.

The food was really good, but service was very poor. We were sat in the pathway of the service team. No effort to interact or reactive towards request.

Enjoyable but had to que for 10 minutes in hallway with many other diners. Food very nice but felt slightly expensive and £14 for a lot of puddings. Service ok but not fantastic.

The ambience was great and it was really busy but some hosts looked frustrated and not very hospitable. However some people who were servicing us were absolutely excellent and attentive and kindly accommodated our requests. The food was good but the roast was colder thank I would have liked. Drinks were excellent and dessert was delicious. It’s a wonderful place to go before Christmas comes! I would return again.

We had a table for six at 13:15. Arrived on time. Took twenty minutes for drinks order to arrive- the restaurant was busy, but no excuse. One order was wrong. More delays. Took a further 15 minutes to clear our plate at the end if our meal. Bill at this stage was £450 for starters, main courses and cocktails. Our waiter arrived at 14:55 and told us we were too late to order pudding or coffee as they needed out table back at 15:15. No hint of apology, no flexibility despite the fact we would have liked pudding and coffee and probably taken the bill up to closer to £600. Waiter remonstated and argued in an aggressive manner, and at no time accepted that it might have been helpful if they had been more prompt with out order, or given us a heads up ten minutes earlier that we needed to order our desserts. So so poor. I will never ever go back. Spolied my daughter's birthday lunch and we all left both baffled and upset. Poor form.

I visited today for my daughters 15th birthday, along with her friend We all loved the food, amazing decor, great atmosphere & the cocktails were delicious! Will definitely be returning :)

Beautiful setting fantastic food. Service abrupt at times and although we had not finished our drinks as a table of 6 were abruptly asked to pay the bill after 2hrs 45mins. Services was initially slow so did not get our first drinks for a good 45 mins then rushed off the table.disappointing.
