Roast Restaurant (Restaurant)

Within a landmark London building, a culinary treat awaits. Using the finest of the country's seasonal produce, a restaurant has been created dedicated to the best of British cooking.
Based in the food lover’s homeland of Borough Market, Roast celebrates this country’s finest ingredients and uses them to help place Britain’s food heritage onto the world map.
We love what we do at Roast. We hope you do too. Over the last three decades, we have explored many national cuisines whilst casting aside what lies on our doorstep. Historically, French dining standards have been considered the benchmark from which everyone had to be judged and it was the received opinion in certain influential quarters that in this context, British cooking did not match up.
We source ingredients and dishes that are not just relevant to the scope and mission of the project but that are also in tune with how we see food today.
We will research both ancient and modern dishes as well as cooking techniques.
Using British ingredients wherever we can, placing emphasis on the sourcing and provenance of products, we intend to explore dishes and recipes that also highlight seasonality.
From succulent spit roasts and deeply flavoured puddings cooked over days, through to organically grown salad leaves that have real taste, British cooking can rightly take its place on the international stage.
