Hired The Roast for our wedding reception. The staff were extremely helpful and efficient. We had a meal for 34 people and everything went smoothly and I felt the food was very good. Then had an evening reception with a further 40 people. Hired the place until 2am and brought our own DJ. Great evening would recommend Thank you More

I booked the Roast for a 60th birthday party for 58 family and friends of all ages. The staff were delightful, friendly and very attentive - the food was well above average compared with the usual buffets. Everyone enjoyed the evening so hats off and well done to Matthew and his team. More

Quality of food is very inconsistent; I've had burnt or cold toast several times, sometimes sandwiches and soup at lunch are nice, sometimes they are not. Service is generally uninspiring and unfriendly. More
