Roast in Southwark

We booked the afternoon tea. The location is lovely and the service was really really good. Would do it ever again.

Great atmosphere and really nice aesthetic but unfortunately the food was a little lacking in some areas. We got the afternoon tea set and whilst the savoury and sweet options were fine the scones were really off. They had an incredibly weird aftertaste - like too much raising agent perhaps? Although it all looked great the portions were also a little small for the price point.

The hosts were rude and gossiping about us unnecessarily. Grow up.

Nice space and setting. Service friendly, but a bit pushy. Food was fairly average and Luke warm. We went for the 3 course set menu which was limited, very expensive, particularly the wine.

we were visiting from the US and found Roast, decided to do our afternoon tea here and it was absolutely beautiful! Very warm and inviting, hospitality was great and it was conveniently in Borough Market for us to visit and walk through afterwards.

Very good service and delicious breakfast choices. I was there for a client meeting which worked well despite it being quite busy, staff was kind and friendly.

The atmosphere, the food and the friendly staff are all good. I enjoyed my afternoon tea time so much.

Highly recommended. You have to look for the entrance in the busy Borough Market but it's worth it. The service was very friendly and attentive. The afternoon tea was very good and more than plentiful. Would come again.

unfriendly staff touching the beer bottle at my table 5 minutes after serving it, to see if they could collect it. judgmental looks whilst probably they all live in the last boroughs of London. the lady with shaved hair speaks whispering, which is impossible to understand

Very nice location! And experience as well

We went there based on a recommendation. The food was delicious, the wine selection was extensive, and the atmosphere was lovely. We would especially like to thank Mr. Cihan for his warm hospitality. I highly recommend this restaurant; we will definitely come again when we visit London. I suggest trying the Beef Wellington.

Very good looking aesthetics. Super clean toilets. Food is mediocre. And very very expensive. A beef burger was charged at £29 ... with beef shavings well hidden. And it was horrible tasting. Ate it as i paid £29!! Also potatoes they truly mean it's triple fried. David could have used them on Goliath to shoot with the catapult. Way overpriced for everything...and tasteless food. Sorry

I had roasted halibut, served in a creamy, delicious sauce. I didn't get starters or dessert because I was too poor. Everyone also dressed fancy or at least sorta fancy... except me because I just walked in from the borough market. The waiters are super nice though.

Food arrived 1hr and 10mins after ordering, drinks orders took 40mins and were awful (full of soda) so sent back. I would not recommend this place although the food was ok. No apologies from service team or management who were fully aware.

A great Roast Beef dinner, what more can you ask for.

A Perfect Dining Experience at Roast, Borough Market My family and I had the pleasure of dining at Roast in Borough Market yesterday, and I can confidently say it was one of the best meals we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the stunning décor — bright, elegant, and beautifully adorned with flowers, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Despite being a higher-class restaurant, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Their attentive and friendly service elevated the entire experience. Now, onto the food — simply outstanding. My wife and I both had the roast beef burger, and I can honestly say it was the best burger I have ever eaten. The combination of flavours was nothing short of a vibrant taste sensation. My mum ordered the Saddleback pork belly and was equally impressed, while my dad’s venison suet pudding left him wanting more — a true testament to the quality of the dishes. Thank you, Roast, for such an incredible meal. We will definitely be returning in the near future!

Had such high hopes, but this might have been the worst meal of our trip. Ordered a cocktail, and it never showed up. I guess one would assume that a 40+ dry aged roast beef would be tender, but had to saw through it. Overall taste was bland at best. Server repeatedly discussed tip despite never once coming to check on our lost drinks, meal, etc. I think they market an experience to tourists that they don’t even come close to living up to. Place looked nice, but I found myself wishing I was at the street food location I could see out the window.

We used to come here often when we lived in London and thought we would come back. Sadly gone are the cafetières of coffee (Blue Jamaican mountain was always my favourite). Waiter was unsure about GF options and said the chef asked him to ask us what to put on as replacements. GF sausage isn’t hard to find, bacon seemed cheap and streaky. No extra egg or mushrooms? Not sure why we were asked and then ignored. Butter portions were enormous however red/brown sauce portions were tiny in comparison. Was ok but sometimes you shouldn’t go back to places as they’re not the same.

Utter chaos! Made a reservation for 3pm. Arrived 10 minutes early, fair enough, table wasn't ready. But then all of the other 3pm reservations arrived. With no real waiting areas it was "Lord of the Flies" on who got a table. Hostess station were simply dreadful (especially Astor). Now, I'm not sure if that's because she's had everyone complaining at her all day long, but giving minimal (bordering on rude) answers when we asked questions when our table might be ready at 20 past 3, really wasn't helpful to anyone. We were seated at 3.25pm and we immediately ordered a bottle of Rose (Pinot or something similar). We were bought a bottle which was apparently the "only rosé" they carried. Utter bemusement ensued, only to find (at the back of the wine list) a comprehensive Rosé wine list?!? Service from that point did get better, but not receiving our mains for an hour and a quarter after being seated, it is very obvious that 10% less tables would have not only made our dining experience much nicer (we were trapped in like sardines) but it would have also made all servers life a lot easier as well. Less haste & more speed springs to mind and something I feel upper management should take under advisement. Less tables would mean happier customers & servers. Period.

Gorgeous restaurant overlooking Borough market, swathed in fairy lights during the evening. As per its namesake they do a lot of roasted meats and veggies but the menu felt varied, and the Beef Wellington was divine. On the pricier side but not unreasonable for the area or for their fare - certainly worth checking out for a date-night for tourists and locals alike.

Booking is essential as this place is usually packed, which accounts for the wait time for food. The dishes are absolutely delicious, though the menu offers a limited selection. It's highly recommended to review the menu in advance to make the most of your visit. This little review is in accordance with the price range of the restaurant.

Best breakfast in ages. Highly recommended. Early us best, ots not packed.

Had a wonderful time. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for atmosphere was because I dined on a Monday night and it was very quiet.

I have to give 5 stars for every category because they exceeded my expectations. I was surprised by friends and family with a birthday tea for my 50th birthday. Ever moment we shared during our 2+ hours was excellent. My cousin who is vegan had her own special tea platter and just like it's she enjoyed every bite.

Great people making great food in a great restaurant. Really nothing bad to say

We went for afternoon tea at 2.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. The food was good but wasn't anything special. We really liked the idea of having an extra savoury layer to the afternoon tea. However the atmosphere was very loud and busy, not the ideal setting for an afternoon tea. When we arrived they sat us down at a table that had not yet been laid even though we had booked in advance. We found the service to be exceptionally slow and unobservant. We had to wait 25 mins before we had to ask for our order to be taken and then another 35 mins until our food arrived. The table next to us had come for lunch and had had a starter and were half way through their main before we received our drinks. At no point were we offered refills of our drinks and it took a while for them to clear our plates. They still put a 15% service charge on our bill with no acknowledgement to how poor the service had been.

We went for tea. Most of the food was rather good , although the gluten-free scones were inedible. Though most gluten-free scones are…We found the service erratic ; it was a busy Friday afternoon, but the waiters were impersonal and borderline rude- a smile costs nothing , and might even get you a tip- and the cloak-room attendant , who was not there and appeared a few minutes into my hanging up our coats - was very rude indeed , snatching the hanger out of my hand and saying ‘no no no ‘. It’s a pity the level of service does not come up to the quality of the product , and falls very far short of the prices.

A pleasant meal. The roast dinner was nothing to celebrate, the plate felt more like a standard pub on a Sunday. Service was limited. We received less bread than ordered, and had to ask multiple times in order to receive our order. The setting is excellent. High ceilings and nice decoration

Amazing food , service was excellent !!!

Was all good until the food arrived. 2 thinly sliced heavily fatty raw/super rare and strangely powdery lamb (medium rare apparently). Beef gravy with the roast chicken. Staff undertrained/unaware. £7 for bread. Extortionate pricing for a below average meal. it's a conveyorbelt of roasts.. how do you fk it up? Potato's were OK and the carrot was good. First time I've ever asked for the service charge to be removed. Plenty of much better options around town.

This is a beautiful restaurant in a lovely, feminine setting above Borough Market. The prices are very high for small servings, but I will say the quality of the roast chicken was delicious. For fine dining prices though, the wait staff were very inexperienced which was very annoying; I.e I had to ask for chicken gravy for roast chicken three times as they kept bringing beef gravy, the young server (lovely, but...) being confused by my ask and kept telling me 'gravy is gravy'. £7 for bread. My partner ordered his lamb medium rare and it came out totally pink at a cost of £36.00 (and literally about 3 mouthfuls of meat). I would skip a roast here and maybe try the high tea if you want to experience the setting without being let down by food/experience with an extortionate price tag.

Food was ok but priced at the high end and therefore not worth it. Wine list was also veering on the very expensive with few bottles under £60. Vibe was nice, with waiters a little intrusive.

I went to Roast for my friends 60th, afternoon tea. One of the best afternoon teas in London, superb, even incudes scotch egg & sausage roll. I will definately return.

Delicious food and lovely setting. Professional, friendly service.

Superb place great food under Venkat

We went for Tea Time at the Roast. Great setting within Borough Market, very educational and attentive waiter and not very expensive when you taste the quality of the different "mini-dishes" (9 in all: 6 savory and 3 sweet) to which is added the famous scone with its cream and jam (both excellent) accompanied by a liter of tea per person to choose from a dozen. Definitely the place to have Tea Time. (Doggy Bag possible if too full).

Food was extremely average, and comically overpriced. No greeting upon arrival or goodbye upon departure - staff just blanked us. It made us laugh. A two hour wait for our food. Menu is small and all the food is sat under heaters like a school canteen, so not sure what took so long. When one of the £45 chateaubriand’s arrived, it was cold and chewy, it was sent back but not without some awkward pushback from the waitress/manager? We were given another but it was the same… Avoid at all costs.

Very nice atmosphere, you need a big stomach but some things were too unusual for me.

Went for a Sunday roast. Food was lovely but no better than the roast you could get in a good pub. It was very busy and the wait for food was long which didn't bother us, but the waiting staff were either rushing us or completely absent. It didn't feel very relaxed for a Sunday lunch. It felt like they were trying to hurry us to make up for the slow kitchen and big queue. Pudding was cold and when sent back, arrived exactly the same again. Not worth the price.

Dreadful Sunday Birthday Lunch experience. Arrived a few minutes before our reservation and spent 15 minutes queuing from the lift/stairwell before we got to reception. Queue was formed all of diners with reservations. Zero recognition of the delay from reception staff. Also had to ask several times when we would get our table. Sat at our table, drinks order taken and we requested bread for the table… that never arrived. 4 starters ordered, only 3 arrive. Not noticed by waiting staff. We ask where is the 4th starter to which the response was “sorry I forgot to add that to the order, I will get it to come right out”. 15 minutes later, still waiting and all other starters now finished. Main courses arrive and 2 of the 4 are tepid bordering on cold. At this point we ask to speak to the manager. After explaining the catalogue of errors he is defensive and makes little attempt to redress the situation and just says “what do you want me to do… take something off the bill”. The bill is discounted, could have and should have, with hindsight . requested for more - but just wanted to get out. A thoroughly disappointing experience. The restaurant was too busy, lots of waiting staff but with no attention to customers, or any apparent cohesion/order, all very transactional and abrupt. Roast leverage a high price point but the service would not have been acceptable in your local pub. A really poor experience.

I couldn’t attend the reservation which I made 2 hours prior, due to my son being sick. I called twice but there was no answer. I was attending as a single mum with my 2 year old and 5 year old and they charged me £90 for not attending. I’d never ever have spent £90 had I gone!! I contacted them and they stood by their decision. I’ll never eat here and I’ll do my best to make sure others don’t. Unfair and greedy

Felt quite pretentious overall. Food was subpar relative to the price (the yorkshires were quite burnt, dessert was also very watery and unappetising) Service wasn’t great also - messed up our drinks orders also The venue and location is great, however

Lovely evening, staff very attentive and food is lovely

I met here for a business lunch due to its location. The menu gives you a lot of choice and the food is very good. A shame about being lunchtime (these days) is not having a glass of wine. The service could not be faulted.

Fabulous brunch in a beautiful bright and airy atmosphere.

To start with the positive the food was really good. We both ordered roast beef which was extremely tasty, excellent roast potatoes & lovely veg. Deserts we had the champagne strawberry cheesecake which was delicious and one of the best desserts I’ve eaten. However would not recommend this restaurant due to the overall experience. Arrived early which was just as well as joined a huge queue in a narrow corridor so ended up being seated a few minutes after our booking time as spent 20 min in the queue. Also only 2 woman’s toilets in a restaurant this size is ridiculous and meant a very long wait. Our first table we were seated at was so close to the group next to us we were almost sitting with them! There was barely 10cm between the tables so we asked to be moved. As other reviews have noted they have crammed in so many tables it is loud & over crowded. Service was quite slow & waited a long time for drinks. The wine hardly covered the bottom of the glass but Guinness was very nice. Overall amazing food but sadly would not return.

An exceptional restaurant, with great product quality and a luxurious atmosphere; but above all a spectacular service from Oriol, who recommended a very good wine. Thank you, Oriole!

Food tasted okay, but took a long time to arrive. Some got their food before us even though they came after us. My wife's toast and eggs were cold when they did finally arrive- they must've been sitting there for a while. Didn't bother asking for a remake on the eggs as we were hungry and didn't want to wait a long time again. The male staff members that served our table were great. The female ones were the opposite - some were very curt, rude, unwelcoming and overall seemed like they didn't want to be there. I couldn't possibly recommend this place.

Let’s start with the positives. The staff were very attentive, the scotch egg starter was very nice, the coffee’s and drinks were very nice, especially the ‘old fashion’s. The restaurant itself was very pleasant Now, the downsides My main meal of roast beef was awful, the beef itself resembled two fried slices of beef, edge with fat and gristle. It was almost as if the kitchen had sliced of two 1/4” slices of beef and fried them, they tasted strange and greasy. The same as the ‘roast’ potatoes. One carrot accompanied the plate along with one small croquette and a small tub of horseradish cream. The Yorkshire was cold and hard. The gravy was thin, watery with a greasy film £36.50 worth of disappointment My friend burger just looked a mess sandwiched between two blackened halves of a brioche bun I definitely won’t be returning. Photo below of what I expect of a roast dinner

Tea was very cold! Waitress started removing the trays without notice!

If you're in for a Sunday roast or an afternoon tea, this place is just great. Situated in and above Borough market, it's perfect for some fine food, good wines, very friendly staff and, depending on your taste, the decoration is just beautiful.

The restaurant had lovely Christmas decor, creating a festive ambiance in the heart of London’s Borough Market. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to expectations, especially given the high prices. The pork belly was very fatty, and the crackling was tough and inedible. The beef Wellington was a generous portion but overly rich, paired with a strong truffle mash. Vegetables had to be ordered separately, adding to the cost. The turkey roast was better value, served with vegetables and all the trimmings, but I’ve had equally good, if not better, roasts at other pubs for half the price. The service also fell short. Small spillages on the table were left uncleaned before the next course, which was disappointing. Additionally, the hygiene of some waitstaff could be improved, as a couple of them left a noticeable body odor smell as they passed. I understand that busy service can be fast-paced, but this occurred just 30 minutes after the restaurant opened for lunch, which was surprising. To top it off, the wine portions were very small for £11 a glass. While the decor and location are appealing, the combination of expensive prices, underwhelming food, and service issues makes it hard to recommend.

It is a lovely setting with a great atmosphere but it seems terribly overpriced. The food was OK but it was nothing special. The service was great. We paid £174 for one starter, two main courses and one of their cheaper bottles of wine which was nearly £70 and, of course, subject to their standard service charge. I checked retail price of the wine to find that it is £14.50. This seems like a totally unreasonable markup.

We went for Sunday Roast. Location was in the heart of Borough market (restaurant overlooks the market) Food was excellent - the roast potatoes were devine, the meat tender etc The service was excellent. Seems very well staffed and they were helpful regarding allergies (in our case lactose intolerance). What surprised us was how good the cocktails were (almost as good as some of our favourite cocktail bars). (see pics for recommendations). It would have been an easy 5 stars except for 2 small oversights on their part - so this is intended as feedback:- 1. They forgot our carrots and we had to ask for them. 2. The prices on the bill were slightly different from the menu - although worth the prices, still misleading and needs improvement on this kind of attention to details Overall excellent experience and not too pricey for the type of food, service and location. We will return soon.

Food was just ok for the price. There are two different types of chairs and the wooden chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Staff was nice and attentive, didn’t feel rushed and refilled water etc. Feels a little cramped in there, and it gets really busy. Food was not it. The wellington meat was great, but crust and mashed potatoes weren’t anything special for what they charge. Prawn cocktail is a joke, tiny pieces, more salad and sauce than anything. I wouldn’t go back and there are much better places in the same area. A shame because it has potential.

Very good food and service. I really had no expectations, never heard about this place before, and now l can actually recommend it or go back again. Very good size for the portion, despite l went for the set menu (usually other places tend to reduced it). The service was professional and impeccable. Highly recommended.

I had the beef Wellington and chips with truffle sauce and it was all very good. Service was solid with a lot of attention which was great considering it was very crowded. Meal and drinks came out very quickly. I’ll definitely go back. Returned to bring my wife for a romantic Valentine’s dinner and it was delicious with solid service. We started with scotch egg and oysters, both very good. I had the halibut and my wife had the filet cooked medium rare with peppercorn sauce. The steak was cooked correctly and the sauce on the baked fish was great. We shared the broccoli with with black garlic sauce and for dessert we shared toffee sticky pudding. Everything was wonderful and ambience was very romantic.

We visited on Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant seemed well prepared and we got seated straight away. The service was friendly and quick but had a clear agenda to get customers out the door as soon as possible. We were seated in a corner next to fire extinguishers when there were plenty of open nicer tables available. Multiple times they offered to take food and drinks away when it was clear we had not finished. They charged the wrong amount, which were apologetic for. The atmosphere was well done, with a floral interior. The food was excellent and we were satisfied.

The venue is beautiful ! My partner and I had a window seat. The service is attentive and fast. Whilst checking up on you our glass was never empty! The food was amazing! You can tell it’s fresh and well presented I had a burger and my partner the pork! Thoroughly delicious This was a repeat visit and we will be back again

Excellent restaurant & decorated beautifully….bravo

Rushed all the way through, stuck in the corner and constantly bumped into while eating. Then they had the cheek to try and add £100 to the bill something we didn’t have. Booked this in advance to be told when we arrive they need the table back in and hour and 30. Had two course no time to relax within 3/4. We won’t be going back

Really gorgeous dinner and a lovely setting. Would recommend the venison suet pie… top notch!

I was ending my eurotrip and I wanted to give myself a little last treat and OH BOY what a great choice it was to pick Roast. I did my research before choosing where to do an afternoon tea and I’m so happy I stumbled across this place. First, all the staff were super nice and kind💖 Second, it was BEAUTIFUL. To have such a nice place and eat on top of the Borough Market was a nice experience. And last but not least, the food was 100/10!!!! I’m very picky when its about food, but everything was on point! I really have to thank the girl (I don’t know her name :( ) that helped me choosing my tea, because as a big tea fan and having a huge amount of teas to choose from, she guided me with her favorites and even gave me a cup to try another flavor. Overall, my first afternoon tea was a 10/10 experience!✨

We got the halal afternoon tea. Even tho it was pricey, we couldn’t eat all the food. Some of the pastries were too sweet. The scones were the best!! The sandwiches weren’t that good. I’ve had better sandwiches at less expensive places. They also add a service fee. Atmosphere is great for pics and service is a little slow but tolerable.

Great food and service, had ignored for a few years after an average experience, today back in the game.

Very good food, beautiful location! The only issue that lets them down is upon arrival you come out the elevator and are meet with crowds of people. Some have reservations, and others are there just for photos. The restaurant needs a member of staff to great guest as they arrive from the elevator, and turn those away who don’t have reservations who are just making the already small, tight entrance, even more crowded.

Fabulous! A small but exquisite menu. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Food is divine and a great wine list.

Lovely venue,super food, excellent service....celebrating an 18th birthday! ❤️

Absolutely amazing Sunday dinner at Roast on 09/02/2025. Everything was outstanding - the food, the staff, the location, ambience - definitely will recommend to others. The truffled cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes are to die for! Will definitely be coming back when we are in London again - got to try the Afternoon Tea next.

I had the pork belly which was superbly cooked and plentiful. The service was professional and courteous. I will be back.

This was for my husbands birthday and I called in advance to inform them and request a nice table on a sofa area. None of this was acknowledged when we arrived. We ordered the chateau brand and sides which were over priced and small in size. The staff were rushed and not paying attention to the order. I had to ask for sauces ordered for the steak as they were not served with the steak despite being ordered. A 15% service charge is added to the bill which in our case was over £45! Not worth it in any way. For someone who has been a regular and spent thousands here, the service has deteriorated dramatically.

A favourite when this side of the city Always good quality ingredients served by the friendly team. You do need to book as it does get busy.

Delicious food and cocktails, great atmosphere and great service.

Saturday dinner. Seated straightaway, nice table by the window, less crammed than in the middle. Attentive waiters, drinks came quickly and were good. Pleasant starters, scotch eggs a highlight. Roast dinner generous and wellington very tasty. Meat a bit cold as it seems to be cooked for the evening and stay under heated lamps. Good wine at decent price point. Not cheap but good overall and better than what some of the reviews suggest.

Starting from poorly dressed maitre- too small clothes, not ironed, to waiter who hasn’t brushed his teeth for a long time to dish (sea bream) so overpowered with flavors of butter, lemon and capers you couldn’t taste the fish to waiter who took my drink without asking… The place pretends to be stylish but it’s really rough, would need a good clean and definitely up scaling their waiting staff - teach them hygiene and grooming.

Everything was perfect. Food and magnificent service

I visited on January 31, 2025, for my annual birthday breakfast. Unfortunately, the greeting I received at reception was underwhelming. While the breakfast itself was pleasant, I had to request brown sauce twice, which was disappointing given that the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. My dining experience was further disrupted when staff began setting up the adjacent table, inadvertently bumping mine in the process. I also noticed that my table was unstable and had been wedged with a roll of paper to prevent rocking – an unprofessional solution. Overall, the service fell well short of expectations. The staff would benefit from additional training to improve their attentiveness and professionalism. Given this experience, I'm hesitant to return and will likely choose a different venue in the future.

The food selection appeared slim however I was in awe of the dishes on arrival. Extraordinary good food, impeccable service and made quite a difference from the peculiar treatment I received from a wine bar at the National Theatre the night before. I will be back.

Breakfast was excellent delicious fresh ingredients and quick service perfect for a breakfast meeting before work

Great service. But food was very average and didn't match the price tag.

The food was nice but the service was very poor and it spoilt our experience. I wrote an email after our dinner to express my disappointment (very polite!) but I haven’t even received a reply (sent 30th Jan). I don’t usually write public reviews but after such a bad experience and lack of care to even acknowledge my comments, I felt compelled to. I’d avoid this place - there are better restaurants in the area

Hope to return again for a roast.

I'm not usually one to write reviews but felt the need to today. The food was good but the service was awful; we waited over 20 minutes to be seated for a pre-booked table, while I'm stood there with a 1 year old in my arms. Front of house were not taking note of who was stood there waiting to be seated, which allowed people to push past and bully their way to the front. The front of house also kept walking off leaving the front desk without any staff, which created unnecessary tension with everyone queuing up. Once we were seated we waited an additional 10 minutes for menus. Mains turned up and we didn't have any cutlery. Overall the whole experience was just disappointing for somewhere you'd expect to be high end.

Celebrated my 80th with friends and family with a lovely lunch.

Very disappointed with the experienced. They have crammed so many tables into the restaurant that it feels like eating at an airport fast food cafe. When I have to move, while eating my meal, so that another diner can get to their seat something is terribly wrong. We were on the end table so while I could not move my chair back or left I could get out on the right. The couple next to us had less than 6 inches of space on either side of their table and the middle diner (as mentioned above) could not get out or in without asking other diners to get up. If they want increase numbers and turnover to improve profits by cramming people in then don't charge top end prices. When I made my observations to the staff their response was 'I'm really sorry, it's not us - it's management, we have told them and we have to deal with lots of complaints like this everyday'. When your own staff won't defend you then you have definitely got it wrong. As a consequence of all this the experience was terrible - normally we would have had 3 courses followed by tea and coffee - this time we had a main course then left. I seriously think you should revisit your business strategy. The food was OK but there wasn't a lot of roast beef and it was a little fatty but we could have lived with that if the experience had been better. We have been going there periodically since 2005 when they opened - I doubt we will go back.

Recommended by a friend, we decided to have dinner here during a weekend stay in London. And that was a hit. A beautiful location, and a beautiful restaurant. Welcoming staff, and a exciting menu. We had the croquettes and scotch egg as a starter, and the Beef Wellington as a main. It was all delicious. As said, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. Apart from the waiter serving our main course. He was clearly not having his best day and was going through the motions with a clear indifference. I hope he feels better now. If you are in London, this is certainly a restaurant that won't disappoint. Make reservation beforehand One thing I would like to say about that last thing:the Open Table tool they use at their own website is quite pushy in messaging. As we do not live in the UK and don't have a UK phone number, it was quite frustrating to get a text with a request for conformation that technically did not work for me. My suggestion for roast is to find a different provider or change some settings.

Delicious and a lovely ambiance.

The food was good, although the gravy was a bit watery and lacked taste. The wellington beef was nice, it arrived a bit cold, many of us also had the roast beef - no complaints there and the pork belly was marked as 10/10. Needless to say the service did not meet our expectations. Nobody was checking on us, food arrived very slowly so as the drinks. Everything is a bit on the pricey side so you'd expect better and far more attentive customer service.

I’m sad to write this but , it was not as we expected . Glass smashed by accident no one help waited all senior team watch on and shock heads , shocking ? No sorry no nothing from anyone . Good come out look warm , no care , lots of people complaining, such a shame as took people here to show of roast to only make them not want to come back . Gutted

An occasion place that has lived up to the hype twice now. Dinners are deceptively filling and beautifully cooked. Have had both the lamb and chicken and eyeing up the Beef for our next visit. Service is friendly without feeling forced or rushed. Book ahead as your unlikely to get a table, in this (I would like to say hidden gem but was packed) Borough Market Restaurant. Definitely coming back again.

The perfect location for the perfect Sunday roast. Well done to all the staff

Excellent food! We got a lovely view next to the window so kudos to the team :) great service and all around a lovely experience!

Great food, and lovely ambience. You forget that you are on top of the bustling borough market.

Service poor Churlish staff except for our first waitress Repeatedly asked for water Food slung in front of us Service charge deducted but no interest as to why Food excellent

The food was wonderful but the waiting staff let you down. The service and atmosphere does not reflect the high London prices. Being charged for bread when it has not been ordered and tap water !!! Is unacceptable. I would not recommend Roast as the experience was very disappointing as a special place to celebrate our anniversary. Stella Alesbury

Poor service, drinks order wrong and then still left on bill, great surroundings, staff stood around talking a lot, food good but very over priced

The food was definitely the best part of our experience and did not disappoint, it was delicious, so our compliments to the chef. However, we paid for bottomless Prosecco and we were only filled up once by the server, despite the fact we were there for over 90 minutes - this aspect was very disappointing. When we challenged the server about this at the end of the mean he said he’d give us another bottled, but failed to understand and answer why we weren’t served throughout our meal. With that being the exception, the food was delicious, the restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated and the seating comfortable.

Good food, great service - doesn’t need to be so expensive

Great food, although it could have been warmer. The service wasn’t great and we noticed the floor manager bullying several members of the staff (maybe that’s why the service isn’t great!). By the end we felt sorry for the team and even asked if they were ok. Perhaps a review of the upper level restaurant floor manger is required ?

Phenomenal food and ambiance. Terrible service. Waited 20 min for my server to take my order even though the restauarant wasnt busy. Never received the drink I ordered. Server didnt check in on me one time during the meal. It seems like a great place so maybe i just had terrible luck/server.
