Established in 2015, Roast was born out of a commitment to delivering a quintessentially British fine dining experience for the everyday customer — an ethos that the restaurant continues to uphold. Renowned for their signature dishes like the pork belly, beef Wellington, and classic scotch egg starter, Roast has evolved into a well regarded brand in the area near Borough Market. Found near to London's oldest fruit and vegetable markets, Roast’s floral hall features expansive glass windows that offer a unique view of the bustling market below. Notably, pineapple statues atop of the floral hall symbolise historical wealth, paying homage to a time when pineapples were rare and exotic fruits, not to be tasted by most.
The private space at Roast is perfect for groups of 10 or fewer, and is located in the restaurant’s floral hall. It provides an exceptional setting for special occasions, and, with a 3 hour time slot, personalised dining experiences are facilitated by dedicated staff. The room is also equipped with a television screen for presentations or entertainment, making it an ideal venue whatever your occasion. Please be aware that bookings are subject to a minimum spend requirement, varying based on reservation date and time. The menu here reflects the best produce the British Isles has to offer.
